A university student has been found alive but suffering from exposure after going missing during heavy rain and flash flooding in the Gold Coast Hinterland last week.

Yang Chen, 26, had been walking near Gorge Falls in Tallebudgera Valley last Wednesday morning, when her male companion lost sight of her.

Search efforts have been hampered by wet weather conditions, with the area drenched by more than 141mm of rain in 24 hours.

More to come.
