Lost woman survived on wine and sweets!

A women lost in the Victorian bush for five days says she survived on wine and sweets!

Lilian Ip doesn’t drink, but she has wine and lollies to thank for her survival in the Victorian bushland for five days.

 

Last Sunday, Ms Ip, who was on holiday in the town of Bright, had planned a day trip around the state’s high country near Mitta Mitta, about 400km north-east of Melbourne. She had only limited snacks in her car and no water.

But she took a wrong turn while trying to drive to Dartmouth Dam and her car got bogged on a track. The area had no mobile coverage and she was unable to call for help. Because of health issues she was unable to walk far.

 

A bottle of wine that Ms Ip had bought to give her mother as a gift ended up providing hydration while she waited to be rescued. She was found on Friday next to her car, waving to a police search helicopter.
