Police footage of Cleo's rescue showed her "smiling" and "as well as we could expect in the circumstances", said Commissioner Chris Dawson, who added she was receiving medical care.

Authorities say the man in custody has no connection to the Smith family. No charges have been laid.

The house where Cleo was found is about six minutes' drive from her family home in Carnarvon, which has about 5,000 residents.

Australian PM Scott Morrison tweeted it was "wonderful, relieving news". Commissioner Dawson said: "I think Australia is rejoicing."

The commissioner added: "To find a little girl - a vulnerable little girl - after 18 days. You know, obviously people think the worst, but importantly hope was never lost."
