00:11and got stuck in mud while trying to turn around.
00:14Authorities were alerted when she failed to make a daily phone call to a loved one.
00:19Emergency services did extensive searches in different areas over the five days but
00:23had no luck.
00:25Eventually, the police air division conducted a scan of hilly terrain and spotted the woman's
00:30car at the end of a dirt road.
00:32Local police sergeant Martin Torpey said, quote, she used great common sense to stay
00:37with her car and not wander off into the bushland, adding that this helped police find her.
