7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: I went to go to the toilet, and as I've

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: gone in, I've noticed something caught my eye. By the

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 3: time I got to the toilet, I turned around and

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: there was a big tiger snake in the bathroom in

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: my own suite, which is only little So I straightaway

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: jumped on top of the toilet started screaming out to

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: my husband and my boys, and they couldn't hear me

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: because they had the TV on. They're all talking. I

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: have got a mud brick wall, so so this snake

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 3: I'm screaming, it reared up, flared out and started hissing

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: at me. I'm literally trying to climb the wall to

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: get away from it. It was less than a meter

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: away from me, and I thought, no, I'm going to die.

20
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you must have thought this is it, this is

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: our ends.

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. My whole body was shaking. I yet the

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: first encounter I've ever had with a snake, so obviously

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: i'd been gone for a while. My husband come looking

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: for me. I said, don't come in, there's a snake.

26
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: So then my boys come running. They've opened the door,

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: let the snake out, locked me back in the bathroom,

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: and then attended to the snake, and then once it

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: was gone, it was allowed out.

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 2: Wow, my story.

31
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: I just noticed in the studio it we all had

32
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: our breaths baited because we know we're talking to you,

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: but we still wait for you in the story to

34
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: say you're okay.

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: And the afterlife, I.

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: Was shocked and done for days, just unbelievable. I honestly

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: thought this snake was going to get me the way

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: I didn't know snake's hissed like a cat. Yeah, it

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: was just so scary. It was horrendous. I'm alive and

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: didn't get bitten.

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: So good.

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: And they were just watching TV in the other room, Yeah,

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: chatting away.

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: You would go watching Larry Enda right now. Amazing.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 5: Your husband came to look for you on the tour,

46
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 5: because if I would give her the privacy like, oh,

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 5: something must be gone, it.

48
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 6: Was probably looking for something where did you put my.

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: I think, scream Tracy, amazing story. I'm very well told us. Well,

50
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: thanks for sharing that today with us.

51
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Have a good day.

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: Thank you too, you guys see her Maggie, good morning.

53
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: Hello, Yeah, hello, we were Hello. We were in a

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 4: traffic jam for twelve hours in the nineteen eighties going

55
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: off to Sydney Harbor Bridge and we had three kids,

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 4: about three, five and seven. It was twelve hours.

57
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: What a nightmam.

58
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. And after that, every time the cow would stop anywhere,

59
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 4: the kids would say, oh is this another traffic jam?

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: So it really impacted twelve hours and people were sitting

61
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: on this out of the road.

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 6: They put out the little chairs, heave at lunch and

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 6: so we just made a day of it and.

64
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: We got into the Guinness Book of Record.

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Category for the longest.

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: Traffic Yeah, but I don't know what course did. I

67
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: should look it up. What was the reason that it

68
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: was twelve hours?

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: You're in there for half the day eating? Anyone know

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: what this is? Yeah?

71
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: It was. It was our trip up to Queensland. It

72
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: was a big trip to the family and we got

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 4: stuck off the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

74
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: So were you on the bridge.

75
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: Well, we were just coming off the bridge and so

76
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: I don't know what actually caused it, but you know,

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: it's just parts out tours near twelve hours in the

78
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: traffic jam.

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: All right, Maggie, thank you very much. You called me.

80
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: I have a good day.

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah you too.

82
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Liz, good morning.

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: Question.

84
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: How are you?

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm good less. So your story about being trapped, Yeah, we.

86
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 6: Got trapped in a car over a cliff in the ocean.

87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: Well you mean like dangling over like you said in

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: a movie.

89
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 6: No, we were actually in the water. So we were

90
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 6: coming back from lawn my husband at the time, and

91
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 6: I and we hit gravel and went across the other

92
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 6: side of the road airborne over the cliff. We fell

93
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: over sixty meters and rolled from von to boot and

94
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 6: ended up upside down in the word bloody hell, and

95
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 6: we both we walked away, which was amazing. So we

96
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 6: had to under our seat belts and try and get

97
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 6: our bearings because being upside down with water coming into

98
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 6: the car, you sort of panic a little bit. So

99
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 6: I kicked my door was the only part of the

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 6: car that wasn't dented. The only way we got out.

101
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 6: We climbed the cliff and waited and there was the

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 6: Morgue car and two ambulance. They thought we died. They

103
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 6: said it was the third third vehicle that weekend that

104
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 6: had gone over that cliff. So, yeah, we had to

105
00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 6: walk up the cliff faith and yeah we were fine.

106
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: Makes an awkward conversation for there to go.

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: It's something more simply a passenger transport that they didn't

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 5: normally come together.

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: It was bizarre. Someone had had called it in obviously

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: that it's seen us. And yeah, they were all waiting

111
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 6: by the time we got back.

112
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: Up the cliff.

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 6: So then they had to go back into Lorn and

114
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 6: get a toe truck to come and get the car,

115
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 6: which we was washing out to sea. And by the

116
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 6: time we got back to the car, somebody had gone

117
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 6: and taken everything out of the car. Radio speakers.

118
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: Wait the car is it didn't sink.

119
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: We were about two feet in water, so the tide

120
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 6: was going out that was actually taking the car out.

121
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 6: We said, if the tide had been in, it might

122
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 6: have been a little bit different story.

123
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Sure, so you must have rolled the car a couple

124
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: of times then if you go down sixty meters.

125
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, we rolled from bonnet to boot four times, and

126
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 6: the picture of the car afterwards you can actually see

127
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 6: where the boulder pushed the motor to the left hand

128
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 6: side of the car.

129
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: And your husband at the time he was okay as well.

130
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was fine. So he just had bruising from

131
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 6: the seat belt. Oh yeah, I had a crack spurnum

132
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 6: and actually had to sit up for three months to

133
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 6: sleep because I couldn't actually lay down and put forth

134
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 6: onto my chest.

135
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: And so when did this happen, Liz? A couple of

136
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: years ago?

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is probably going back twenty five

138
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 6: thirty years ago, So it's a fairwhele. And I've never

139
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 6: been back through along that road ever.

140
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: And do you do you ever? Does it ever come

141
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: up again in dreams? Or do you think about it much?

142
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 6: I do know, I don't tell the story. I sort

143
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 6: of forgot about it. And then when I heard you

144
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: on the radio, I'm like, oh, that's.

145
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: A pretty good sorry radio show.

146
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: You finally worked it out of a system and along.

147
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: Finally getting clear of all Hey go right he finally

148
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: just thoughts being trapped. Yes, it was.

149
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: It was awful.

150
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 6: It was just trying to get some part of car

151
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 6: to actually open so we could get out before we

152
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 6: sort of I.

153
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: Don't imagine how scared you were.

154
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 6: It was more shock. I think it did feel real, right.

155
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: It's actually very.

156
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 6: True what they say, because when we were rolling, I thought,

157
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: this is how I'm dying. This is literally at the end.

158
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 6: And it's very amazing what goes through your head so quickly,

159
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 6: like what, oh, I went back to a two year

160
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 6: old child. I literally went back to a little girl

161
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 6: because I think, yeah, I don't know, I just went

162
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 6: back in my childhood and there was so many flashes

163
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 6: going through my head. It was just bisarre. It was like,

164
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 6: how am I going to die? This is all the

165
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 6: thoughts go into your head, like how am I going

166
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 6: to die? It's something going to hit me on the head?

167
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Is you know?

168
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 6: It's something going to I don't know. That's that's just

169
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 6: all the things that we're going through. But literally it

170
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 6: would have taken it sit not even that long to

171
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 6: get down to the bottom, but just that that thought

172
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: that goes to your head, you just like, how do

173
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 6: you think of so many things in such a short

174
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 6: space of time?

175
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, how amazing? Now, because obviously our understanding of time

176
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: is one thing. And then sometimes even when you have

177
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: a good time or a bad time. It has some

178
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: other different property, isn't it. It's like you go time

179
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: traveling and how amazing and those nanoseconds or whatever it was.

180
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: All of that is going through your head. You're in

181
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: the real time experience of and I can guess how

182
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: will I actually die? Will it be paying for what's

183
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: going to happen now? And then suddenly you go back

184
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: to scene where you're Yeah, you like time traveling and

185
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: you're two and you're in that moment.

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 6: And I don't know why I went back to the

187
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: age of two, like I could have gone back to ten.

188
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 6: I could have gone back to any age.

189
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: And when you're happened? Was it like a sunny scene?

190
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: Was it from like the summer?

191
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 6: Or it was funner? Yeah? It was news day.

192
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

193
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

194
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 6: We thought we'd just go through drive and go to

195
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 6: the beach and do whatever and the work. And another

196
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 6: thing too, was the day before I got very badly

197
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: sun burnt and with the rolling of the car, I

198
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 6: got out of the carr and all the back of

199
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 6: my legs had blisted into tennis ball size blisters all

200
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 6: down the back, and every time I'd walk one would

201
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 6: pop and it would feel like you'd beat yourself because

202
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 6: there was this water going there an in the leg.

203
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: But the paramedics got very confused, Sure, what do we

204
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: treat first? Why does she look like that?

205
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 6: Which one are we going? You know, what are we

206
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 6: going to do for this? So yeah, so that we

207
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,439
