<v Speaker 2>weird places that you fell asleep. She used to work

0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>in the hospital, had a big night out, thought she'd

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 2>go and find a quiet room in the hospital. She

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>found a very very quiet side room in the hospital.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 2>When she woke up in the early hours with the

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 2>sunlight coming through the blinds, she realized that there've been

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>someone else in the room, asleep in a body bag,

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>dead in this tiny little side room. This is an

<v Speaker 2>amazing story, Tom. From Julie all right nine four one

<v Speaker 2>four one o four three. What's your story that might

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 2>make us say wow? Bree, Good morning, welcome.

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>To the show.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Hello, how are you well?

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Good Brie, So you've got a story for us?

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>We're all is okay. So my partner and I decided

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 3>one weekend we were going to go camping, and we

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 3>always got up to the Murray River and we were

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>driving in to our camps foot we had My daughter

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>was ten at the time. She was in the back

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>seat and it was winter and there was a bit

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 3>of water on the road, which is normal. So he

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.919
<v Speaker 3>got out of the car and had a quick look,

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 3>and he thought, we can do this. We've got a

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>fall drive. So he started to go in slowly, and

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 3>then all of a sudden he decided, no, we're not

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 3>going to try this after all, tried to back out

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 3>and the car slid and we went completely underwater, fully submerged.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 3>The car filled up within ten seconds. I reckon and

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.559
<v Speaker 3>we had about an inch from between you know where

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 3>we were and or the top of the water to

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 3>the roof of the car.

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>The stuff a nightmare. Got your ten year old in

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the car, had my ten.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Year old in the back seat. So he went to

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 3>try and get out. His window was open, luckily, because

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, if it was closed, all our windows were closed.

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>The cupboard of air locks, so he wouldn't have been

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 3>able to get out.

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't get the doors open, that's it.

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>So he forced his door open, and then he went

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 3>to try and get my daughter out, and her door

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.359
<v Speaker 3>was locked, so her window was opened just the time

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. So he tried to pull her window

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 3>out and he couldn't get it out, and then he

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 3>realized the door was locked, so he unlocked her jawer.

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 3>He put his arm through, got the door open, went

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 3>to pull her out, and her seat belt was on,

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 3>so then he had to put her back down under

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>a seat belt. Tried to pull her out again, and

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 3>her dressing gown got caught, so then he had to

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 3>put her back underwater, unhooked her dressing gown. He got

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 3>her out, and he threw her up on the top

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 3>of the car and he said, wait there, I'm going

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 3>to go and get mum. In the meantime, I was

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>trying to open my door and I couldn't get it open.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 3>And I've got I've got a spinal condition, so my

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 3>left side doesn't work very well. And I was trying

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the electric window and I didn't think it was going down,

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 3>but then I put my hand up the top to

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:25.320
<v Speaker 3>sort of push, and my hand went through, So I said, ah,

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 3>the windows working, so I wound the window down. I

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 3>managed to get myself out just as he was coming

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 3>around to get me. He pushed me up on top

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 3>of the car and then we sat there while he

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>tried to figure out Because neither of us girls can swim,

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 3>he tried to figure out how to get us out

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>of the water and onto land and he managed to.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 3>He took my daughter first, and then he took me across.

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>And then we walked and walked and walked, and I

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 3>was I'd filled up with water, so I was completely

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 3>like bomb and you know, really dig Yeah. So we

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 3>walked for about two kilometers and then we saw a

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 3>light like it just a really faint light in the

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 3>distance in the paddick. And he said, I'm going to

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 3>go and have a look what missus. We'll see if

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.120
<v Speaker 3>there's anyone there. And then he come he come back

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 3>out again. He said, get us, come in, come in.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 3>We found this little shack. It had a bed, it

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 3>had firewood, it had bottled water blankets.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 2>From the story, dim light in the distance.

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Geored listening to this incredible story.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Well it doesn't finish there.

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>You make it to the paddock and you get some water.

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well we didn't. We couldn't find matches, so and

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 3>everything we owned was in the car. While we're at

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 3>the car, my handbag floated away and he goes, oh,

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>there goes your handbag. I said, we need that. Your

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 3>wallet's under the driver's seat, you know. So he had

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 3>to swim out and get that he nearly drowned doing that.

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Since wool we closed.

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>In that situation. I'm lucky everyone's that. I'm not going

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to get you for worrying about the tissues. We'll get

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you a new go about the wallet. We're alve. Now

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>we've got to get through the night and get out.

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>So what did you do.

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, we'd slept in the shacks, so we'd sort of

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 3>cuddled up together. We took all our clothes off because

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>they were wet.

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>You must have been just replaying what happened. You would

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>have been so traumatized by it.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't sleep. I was like, every time I dozed off,

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 3>I was dreaming about it. So in the morning, it

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 3>was about probably five thirty, I reckon. I'm not sure.

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 3>He found like a plastic tablecloth thing in there. So

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 3>he put his wet clothes back on and wrapped up

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>in this plastic tablecloth and just went walking. And there

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 3>was a farmer driving down the road on his tractory.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>As a maatshift. Kate, you're staring up on you.

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 4>Now, I'll stop after hearing that before the down.

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, So the farmer loaned him his mobile phone

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 3>and he rang whatever phone number we could remember, you know,

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 3>and a couple of his mates sort of rallied together

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and got a car trailer and they came up in

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 3>a couple of four wheel drives and that we managed

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 3>to get the car out.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 1>To say the only number treble zero rather than a four.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 3>It's funny because we had a police car drove straight

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 3>past us in the morning while we're waiting for our friends,

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 3>and we're waving and waving, and they just kept going.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 3>They went down the track where we'd gone in and

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 3>then they drove off again. And when we went to

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 3>get the car, there was a sign on the trees

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 3>that wasn't there the previous night saying, you know, water

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>over road, like turned back.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Even the police have seen the man in the plastic sheet,

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 4>and guys, it's an amazing story.

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, if you wonder why we're so quiet, we're just

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I think we're just trying to sort of process it all.

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>It's an unbelievable story. You are genuinely all of you

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>lucky to be alive.

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh, absolutely, absolutely we are. If it wasn't for him,

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 3>there's no way ruled have made it.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 4>There's so many moments though. If it wasn't for even

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 4>finding that shack after you're all completely soaked.

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, wow. Well, if we'd had to keep walking,

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, we sort of think hypasamia.

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I always worried about you out there in the bush

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>the middle of nowhere. You would have gone into like shock.

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 1>It could have been a really different story.

0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it was horrid. It was horrid. So I took

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 3>the next day off work.

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go back a lookle bit a handbag.

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, kept my daughter home. We went to the

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 3>doctor and got checked out and everything, just to make sure,

0:07:55.560 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>you know. But yeah, it was pretty traumatic.

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 4>It's a really necessary warning as well about driving through

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 4>floodwaters because some people still don't know the dangers of

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:07.160
<v Speaker 4>doing that.

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 3>No, that's right. And you know, my partner's been full

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 3>driving to thirty odd years, Yeah, and has done massive

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 3>water He's done Kpe York, so he's done some massive

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 3>water crossing and he always gets out of the car

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 3>beforehand and checks. He's very cautious. Yeah, and this was

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 3>just you know, we couldn't see in the dark. It

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 3>was nine thirty ten o'clock at dime, and the road

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 3>had washed away and we.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't hard to read on it. When it's that dark.

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's it. That's it.

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.400
