Australia’s bush when her car became stuck on a rural road didn’t think she would make it out of the ordeal alive — until she was saved five days later, having only a bottle of wine to drink.Lillian Ip, 48, was on holiday in Bright, a small town surrounded by mountains and national parks in the state of Victoria, when she failed to make her daily call to check in with family members on April 30, police wrote in a press release.Unknown at the time, Ip had tried to visit Dartmouth Dam, a two-hour drive to a nearby lake.

She hit a dead end and realized she had taken a wrong turn. When she attempted to turn around, her car got stuck in the mud — or as Victoria police put it, “became bogged.”With no cell service and the nearest town being 60 kilometres away through dense bushland, Ip was left with few options.

The 48-year-old had health issues that could have made a solo trek through the wilderness a fatal decision, so she resolved to stay with her car and wait for help.“She was only planning a short day trip so had only taken a couple of snacks and lollies with her but no water,” said local police Sgt, Martin Torpey.The only liquid she had in the car was a bottle of wine, meant as a gift for her mother when she returned from the holiday.

The only problem, besides the fact that wine causes dehydration, is that Ip doesn’t drink alcohol.In a video interview with 9News Australia, Ip was asked how the bottle of wine tasted.
