A man who wandered away from a Queensland dance festival more than two weeks ago has turned up.

A massive ground and air search was launched after Bradley Smith, 37, left the Rabbits Eat Lettuce festival at Elbow Valley, south of Warwick, over the Easter weekend.

Queensland Police said he resurfaced on Wednesday when he called the Policelink number to advise them of his location, telling them he had disappeared because he believed someone was trying to kill him.

A spokesman told Yahoo News Australia on Wednesday he was sighted overnight at a house in the Bunya Mountains, in the state’s southeast.

The Rabbits Eat Lettuce festival made headlines for a separate incident after two people were found dead in a tent on April 22.
