NSW AmbulanceA young girl attempted to get her mobile phone while hiking in Australia, but she was trapped inside down for hours after sliding between two boulders.
The woman – named in reports as Matilda Campbell – was walking in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley region earlier this month when she fell into the three-metre crevice.
It was the launch of a seven-hour suffering which may see emergency services conduct a” difficult” rescue- including moving some boulders.
And even after being able to winch a 500 kg ( 1, 100lb ) rock out of the way, they still had to figure out how to free the woman from the” S” bend she had found herself in.
” In my 10 years as a rescue nurse I had never encountered a career quite like this, it was difficult but very rewarding”, Peter Watts, a nurse with New South Wales Ambulance support, said, according to a release on the service’s social media pages.
Before rescuers arrived, she had been back down for more than an hour, and her companions ‘ first attempt to open her had failed.
She is seen hung between the stones by her feet in photos shared by the emergency services, as well as the challenging efforts to stabilize the region as emergency services attempted to create a gap large enough to free her.

NSW AmbulanceMr Watts later described the young woman as a “trooper” in an interview with Australia’s ABC.
” We were all like, how did you find over it, and how are we going to get her out,” the group said.
Utterly, the rescued woman was left with only minor scratches and bruises, NSW Ambulance said.
She did not, however, manage to get her phone.
She wrote in a text digitally,” Bless you to the group who saved me. You guys are practically living savers.”
” Very bad about the telephone tho”.
