An Australian hiker described Wednesday how he had to “carry” his leg as he crawled for two days to get help after it “clean snapped in half” as he fell down a waterfall.

Neil Parker, 54, told reporters from his hospital bed that he smashed into rocks after falling 20 feet in isolated Australian woodland on Sunday, snapping his lower left leg and breaking a wrist.

He had no cellphone reception to ask for aid — and soon dropped his phone in a creek, forcing him to painfully crawl to find help during what was supposed to have been a pleasant three-hour hike near Brisbane.

“My left foot just below my ankle, clean snapped in half. So the whole bottom of my leg came loose,” he said Wednesday, according to news.com.au.

“I had to carry my leg, and legs are very heavy when they’re not connected to anything, and trying to pick it up and get over rocks.”

He started “scrambling and lifting, inch by inch,” having to stop every 3 feet or so because of the pain from his injuries, according to the reports.

Parker — an experienced hiker and guide — made a makeshift splint for his leg with snakebite bandages and walking poles from his kit.

He said it took him two days to get just two miles for help in Mount Nebo, admitting, “I was thinking that I was never going to get there.”

Thinking about his family gave him the strength to keep going, he said. “I wanted to be around for my kids,” he said from his bed in Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital. “I was getting very emotional thinking this is not a nice way to die, just lying here.”

Parker said he survived by eating a protein bar and lollipops and also had painkillers in his pack.

“People in the club ask, ‘Why would you carry 10 kilos of equipment every time you go for a walk?’ This is the reason why,” he said, according to The Guardian.

A rescue helicopter finally spotted him Tuesday afternoon and winched him to safety. He is due to have surgery on Wednesday, according to the reports.

“I’ve done some of the hardest walks in Australia and not injured myself. And going on a three-hour training track and I’ve come to grief, big time. So lessons learned,” he said, according to The Guardian.
