A woman who went missing in the Australian wilderness after making a wrong turn survived for five days on wine and candy, local authorities said.

The 48-year-old woman, who police identified in a press release as only "Lillian," was rescued by helicopter on May 5 in the Mitta Mitta bushland, a stretch of dense eucalyptus forest in the southeastern state of Victoria.
