Woman Survives 12 Days in Australian Outback
A woman lost in the Australian outback for nearly two weeks was rescued on Sunday, as her two travel companions remain missing.
McBeath-Riley had set out for a drive on Nov. 19 with Claire Hockridge and Phu Tran, but their trip went awry when their vehicle became stuck in a riverbed, she told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The trio left a note on their vehicle letting potential rescuers know which way they’d headed, and eventually came upon a cattle water hold from which they could drink.Food soon became an issue, though, as they had only a pack of biscuits and some beef noodles. Hockridge and Tran headed off together in search of Stuart Highway, about 14 miles away, the New York Times reported.
Hockridge, 46, and Tran, 40, took a GPS and compass with them, along with a gallon-and-a-half of water.Meanwhile, McBeath-Riley was rescued after a pastoralist told police they’d seen tire tracks nearby, which allowed the search team to redirect the area in which they were looking, ABC reported. They were also helped along by the note left in the vehicle.
