Woman survives 5 days in Australian wilderness on wine and lollipops.
TL;DR
Lillian Ip, a woman from Melbourne, survived five days stranded in the woods with no food, water or phone reception, using only a gifted bottle of wine, a juice box, lollipops and a blanket. She was rescued by Australian police who spotted her car in the dense bushland while conducting a sweep of the hilly terrain from a helicopter. Ip was treated for dehydration at the hospital. She was unable to seek help due to health issues and wrote a heartfelt letter to her family on the fourth day, thinking she was going to die.
