This morning, more than 100 State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers, police and members of the public resumed the search and found the girl safe and well with Max the dog at 8:00am.
For his good work in keeping the little girl safe, Max has now been declared an honorary police dog.
Kelly Benston, the partner of Leisa Bennett, who is Aurora's grandmother, said Ms Bennett and other searchers heard the little girl faintly from the top of a mountain this morning.
"I shot up the mountain ... and when I got to the top, the dog came to me and led me straight to her.
She smelled of dog, she slept with the dog.".
"With the weather last night it's quite lucky she is well because it was cold, it was cold and raining," he said.
"She's a very hardy young lass to survive that without any ill effects and everyone, all the volunteers are extremely happy. »
