The 6-year-old girl who was the subject of a trans-Tasman search and rescue operation while she was sailing from New Zealand to Australia with her father, has returned.
Que Langdon arrived at Auckland International Airport from Brisbane with her mother Ariane Langdon, holding a teddy bear.
She had been living in Kawhia with her father, Alan Langdon, when he took her on his yacht on December 17, telling locals they were heading to the Bay of Islands.
They instead arrived at Ulladullah on the New South Wales west coast last week.
Ariane Langdon, who lives near Nelson but had been in Switzerland looking after her sick mother, had hired a private investigator.
