0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Good morn as the Christian O'Connell Show, and we're looking

<v Speaker 1>for your stories about when you're stuck or trapped. Today

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>on the show, I'm known for one four one four

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>three Tracy. Hi, Christian, How I'm good Tracy, and.

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I hope you have a lovely weekend. Tracy, where did

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 2>you get trapped? So?

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>I went to go to the toilet, and as I've

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 3>gone in, I've noticed something caught my eye. By the

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 3>time I got to the toilet, I turned around and

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>there was a big tiger snake in the bathroom in

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 3>my own suite, which is only little So I straightaway

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 3>jumped on top of the toilet started screaming out to

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 3>my husband and my boys, and they couldn't hear me

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 3>because they had the TV on. They're all talking. I

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 3>have got a mud brick wall, so so this snake

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm screaming, it reared up, flared out and started hissing

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 3>at me. I'm literally trying to climb the wall to

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 3>get away from it. It was less than a meter

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 3>away from me, and I thought, no, I'm going to die.

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you must have thought this is it, this is

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 2>our ends.

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely. My whole body was shaking. I yet the

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>first encounter I've ever had with a snake, so obviously

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 3>i'd been gone for a while. My husband come looking

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 3>for me. I said, don't come in, there's a snake.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 3>So then my boys come running. They've opened the door,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 3>let the snake out, locked me back in the bathroom,

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>and then attended to the snake, and then once it

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>was gone, it was allowed out.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Wow, my story.

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I just noticed in the studio it we all had

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>our breaths baited because we know we're talking to you,

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>but we still wait for you in the story to

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>say you're okay.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>And the afterlife, I.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>Was shocked and done for days, just unbelievable. I honestly

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>thought this snake was going to get me the way

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know snake's hissed like a cat. Yeah, it

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>was just so scary. It was horrendous. I'm alive and

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>didn't get bitten.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>So good.

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 3>And they were just watching TV in the other room, Yeah,

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>chatting away.

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 1>You would go watching Larry Enda right now. Amazing.

0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Your husband came to look for you on the tour,

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 5>because if I would give her the privacy like, oh,

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 5>something must be gone, it.

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 6>Was probably looking for something where did you put my.

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I think, scream Tracy, amazing story. I'm very well told us. Well,

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>thanks for sharing that today with us.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Have a good day.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Thank you too, you guys see her Maggie, good morning.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Yeah, hello, we were Hello. We were in a

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 4>traffic jam for twelve hours in the nineteen eighties going

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 4>off to Sydney Harbor Bridge and we had three kids,

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 4>about three, five and seven. It was twelve hours.

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>What a nightmam.

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And after that, every time the cow would stop anywhere,

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.399
<v Speaker 4>the kids would say, oh is this another traffic jam?

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 4>So it really impacted twelve hours and people were sitting

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 4>on this out of the road.

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 6>They put out the little chairs, heave at lunch and

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 6>so we just made a day of it and.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 4>We got into the Guinness Book of Record.

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Category for the longest.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Traffic Yeah, but I don't know what course did. I

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 4>should look it up. What was the reason that it

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 4>was twelve hours?

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>You're in there for half the day eating? Anyone know

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.919
<v Speaker 2>what this is? Yeah?

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 4>It was. It was our trip up to Queensland. It

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 4>was a big trip to the family and we got

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 4>stuck off the Sydney Harbor Bridge.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 2>So were you on the bridge.

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, we were just coming off the bridge and so

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what actually caused it, but you know,

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 4>it's just parts out tours near twelve hours in the

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 4>traffic jam.

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Maggie, thank you very much. You called me.

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I have a good day.

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you too.

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Hey, good morning, Liz, good morning.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 4>Question.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 3>How are you?

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm good less. So your story about being trapped, Yeah, we.

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 6>Got trapped in a car over a cliff in the ocean.

0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Well you mean like dangling over like you said in

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a movie.

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 6>No, we were actually in the water. So we were

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 6>coming back from lawn my husband at the time, and

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 6>I and we hit gravel and went across the other

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 6>side of the road airborne over the cliff. We fell

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 6>over sixty meters and rolled from von to boot and

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 6>ended up upside down in the word bloody hell, and

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 6>we both we walked away, which was amazing. So we

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 6>had to under our seat belts and try and get

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 6>our bearings because being upside down with water coming into

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.039
<v Speaker 6>the car, you sort of panic a little bit. So

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 6>I kicked my door was the only part of the

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 6>car that wasn't dented. The only way we got out.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 6>We climbed the cliff and waited and there was the

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 6>Morgue car and two ambulance. They thought we died. They

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 6>said it was the third third vehicle that weekend that

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 6>had gone over that cliff. So, yeah, we had to

0:04:54.839 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 6>walk up the cliff faith and yeah we were fine.

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Makes an awkward conversation for there to go.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 5>It's something more simply a passenger transport that they didn't

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 5>normally come together.

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 6>It was bizarre. Someone had had called it in obviously

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 6>that it's seen us. And yeah, they were all waiting

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 6>by the time we got back.

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 4>Up the cliff.

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 6>So then they had to go back into Lorn and

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 6>get a toe truck to come and get the car,

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 6>which we was washing out to sea. And by the

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 6>time we got back to the car, somebody had gone

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 6>and taken everything out of the car. Radio speakers.

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Wait the car is it didn't sink.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 6>We were about two feet in water, so the tide

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 6>was going out that was actually taking the car out.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 6>We said, if the tide had been in, it might

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 6>have been a little bit different story.

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Sure, so you must have rolled the car a couple

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of times then if you go down sixty meters.

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we rolled from bonnet to boot four times, and

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 6>the picture of the car afterwards you can actually see

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 6>where the boulder pushed the motor to the left hand

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 6>side of the car.

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And your husband at the time he was okay as well.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he was fine. So he just had bruising from

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 6>the seat belt. Oh yeah, I had a crack spurnum

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 6>and actually had to sit up for three months to

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 6>sleep because I couldn't actually lay down and put forth

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 6>onto my chest.

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>And so when did this happen, Liz? A couple of

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>years ago?

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is probably going back twenty five

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 6>thirty years ago, So it's a fairwhele. And I've never

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 6>been back through along that road ever.

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 2>And do you do you ever? Does it ever come

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>up again in dreams? Or do you think about it much?

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 6>I do know, I don't tell the story. I sort

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 6>of forgot about it. And then when I heard you

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 6>on the radio, I'm like, oh, that's.

0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>A pretty good sorry radio show.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 5>You finally worked it out of a system and along.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Finally getting clear of all Hey go right he finally

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>just thoughts being trapped. Yes, it was.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>It was awful.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 6>It was just trying to get some part of car

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 6>to actually open so we could get out before we

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 6>sort of I.

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't imagine how scared you were.

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 6>It was more shock. I think it did feel real, right.

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 4>It's actually very.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 6>True what they say, because when we were rolling, I thought,

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 6>this is how I'm dying. This is literally at the end.

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 6>And it's very amazing what goes through your head so quickly,

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 6>like what, oh, I went back to a two year

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 6>old child. I literally went back to a little girl

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 6>because I think, yeah, I don't know, I just went

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 6>back in my childhood and there was so many flashes

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 6>going through my head. It was just bisarre. It was like,

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 6>how am I going to die? This is all the

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 6>thoughts go into your head, like how am I going

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 6>to die? It's something going to hit me on the head?

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Is you know?

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 6>It's something going to I don't know. That's that's just

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 6>all the things that we're going through. But literally it

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 6>would have taken it sit not even that long to

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 6>get down to the bottom, but just that that thought

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 6>that goes to your head, you just like, how do

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 6>you think of so many things in such a short

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 6>space of time?

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how amazing? Now, because obviously our understanding of time

0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>is one thing. And then sometimes even when you have

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a good time or a bad time. It has some

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>other different property, isn't it. It's like you go time

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 1>traveling and how amazing and those nanoseconds or whatever it was.

0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>All of that is going through your head. You're in

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the real time experience of and I can guess how

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 1>will I actually die? Will it be paying for what's

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>going to happen now? And then suddenly you go back

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to scene where you're Yeah, you like time traveling and

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>you're two and you're in that moment.

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 6>And I don't know why I went back to the

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 6>age of two, like I could have gone back to ten.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.119
<v Speaker 6>I could have gone back to any age.

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And when you're happened? Was it like a sunny scene?

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Was it from like the summer?

0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 6>Or it was funner? Yeah? It was news day.

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 6>We thought we'd just go through drive and go to

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 6>the beach and do whatever and the work. And another

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 6>thing too, was the day before I got very badly

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 6>sun burnt and with the rolling of the car, I

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 6>got out of the carr and all the back of

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 6>my legs had blisted into tennis ball size blisters all

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 6>down the back, and every time I'd walk one would

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 6>pop and it would feel like you'd beat yourself because

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 6>there was this water going there an in the leg.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But the paramedics got very confused, Sure, what do we

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 2>treat first? Why does she look like that?

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 6>Which one are we going? You know, what are we

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 6>going to do for this? So yeah, so that we

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 6>were very lucky to walk away from you.
