Woman survives five days lost in Australian outback on single bottle of wine and sweets

A woman who was stranded in the Australian outback for five days has told of how she managed to survive through sipping a single bottle of wine and eating sweets.

Lillian Ip, 48, was considered lost by loved ones after April 30, having failed to check in, sparking a search party.

She had been travelling through deep bushland to Lake Dartmouth, when, 60km from the nearest town, her car became stuck. With no phone charger, she was unable to contact authorities for help, RTÉ reported.
