Speaker 1: Good morn as the Christian O'Connell Show, and we're looking
Speaker 1: for your stories about when you're stuck or trapped. Today
Speaker 1: on the show, I'm known for one four one four
Speaker 1: three Tracy. Hi, Christian, How I'm good Tracy, and.
Speaker 2: I hope you have a lovely weekend. Tracy, where did
Speaker 2: you get trapped? So?
Speaker 3: I went to go to the toilet, and as I've
Speaker 3: gone in, I've noticed something caught my eye. By the
Speaker 3: time I got to the toilet, I turned around and
Speaker 3: there was a big tiger snake in the bathroom in
Speaker 3: my own suite, which is only little So I straightaway
Speaker 3: jumped on top of the toilet started screaming out to
Speaker 3: my husband and my boys, and they couldn't hear me
Speaker 3: because they had the TV on. They're all talking. I
Speaker 3: have got a mud brick wall, so so this snake
Speaker 3: I'm screaming, it reared up, flared out and started hissing
Speaker 3: at me. I'm literally trying to climb the wall to
Speaker 3: get away from it. It was less than a meter
Speaker 3: away from me, and I thought, no, I'm going to die.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you must have thought this is it, this is
Speaker 2: our ends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. My whole body was shaking. I yet the
Speaker 3: first encounter I've ever had with a snake, so obviously
Speaker 3: i'd been gone for a while. My husband come looking
Speaker 3: for me. I said, don't come in, there's a snake.
Speaker 3: So then my boys come running. They've opened the door,
Speaker 3: let the snake out, locked me back in the bathroom,
Speaker 3: and then attended to the snake, and then once it
Speaker 3: was gone, it was allowed out.
Speaker 2: Wow, my story.
Speaker 1: I just noticed in the studio it we all had
Speaker 1: our breaths baited because we know we're talking to you,
Speaker 1: but we still wait for you in the story to
Speaker 1: say you're okay.
Speaker 2: And the afterlife, I.
Speaker 3: Was shocked and done for days, just unbelievable. I honestly
Speaker 3: thought this snake was going to get me the way
Speaker 3: I didn't know snake's hissed like a cat. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was just so scary. It was horrendous. I'm alive and
Speaker 3: didn't get bitten.
Speaker 4: So good.
Speaker 3: And they were just watching TV in the other room, Yeah,
Speaker 3: chatting away.
Speaker 1: You would go watching Larry Enda right now. Amazing.
Speaker 5: Your husband came to look for you on the tour,
Speaker 5: because if I would give her the privacy like, oh,
Speaker 5: something must be gone, it.
Speaker 6: Was probably looking for something where did you put my.
Speaker 1: I think, scream Tracy, amazing story. I'm very well told us. Well,
Speaker 1: thanks for sharing that today with us.
Speaker 2: Have a good day.
Speaker 3: Thank you too, you guys see her Maggie, good morning.
Speaker 4: Hello, Yeah, hello, we were Hello. We were in a
Speaker 4: traffic jam for twelve hours in the nineteen eighties going
Speaker 4: off to Sydney Harbor Bridge and we had three kids,
Speaker 4: about three, five and seven. It was twelve hours.
Speaker 2: What a nightmam.
Speaker 4: Yeah. And after that, every time the cow would stop anywhere,
Speaker 4: the kids would say, oh is this another traffic jam?
Speaker 4: So it really impacted twelve hours and people were sitting
Speaker 4: on this out of the road.
Speaker 6: They put out the little chairs, heave at lunch and
Speaker 6: so we just made a day of it and.
Speaker 4: We got into the Guinness Book of Record.
Speaker 2: Category for the longest.
Speaker 4: Traffic Yeah, but I don't know what course did. I
Speaker 4: should look it up. What was the reason that it
Speaker 4: was twelve hours?
Speaker 2: You're in there for half the day eating? Anyone know
Speaker 2: what this is? Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was. It was our trip up to Queensland. It
Speaker 4: was a big trip to the family and we got
Speaker 4: stuck off the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
Speaker 2: So were you on the bridge.
Speaker 4: Well, we were just coming off the bridge and so
Speaker 4: I don't know what actually caused it, but you know,
Speaker 4: it's just parts out tours near twelve hours in the
Speaker 4: traffic jam.
Speaker 2: All right, Maggie, thank you very much. You called me.
Speaker 2: I have a good day.
Speaker 4: Yeah you too.
Speaker 2: Hey, good morning, Liz, good morning.
Speaker 4: Question.
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good less. So your story about being trapped, Yeah, we.
Speaker 6: Got trapped in a car over a cliff in the ocean.
Speaker 2: Well you mean like dangling over like you said in
Speaker 2: a movie.
Speaker 6: No, we were actually in the water. So we were
Speaker 6: coming back from lawn my husband at the time, and
Speaker 6: I and we hit gravel and went across the other
Speaker 6: side of the road airborne over the cliff. We fell
Speaker 6: over sixty meters and rolled from von to boot and
Speaker 6: ended up upside down in the word bloody hell, and
Speaker 6: we both we walked away, which was amazing. So we
Speaker 6: had to under our seat belts and try and get
Speaker 6: our bearings because being upside down with water coming into
Speaker 6: the car, you sort of panic a little bit. So
Speaker 6: I kicked my door was the only part of the
Speaker 6: car that wasn't dented. The only way we got out.
Speaker 6: We climbed the cliff and waited and there was the
Speaker 6: Morgue car and two ambulance. They thought we died. They
Speaker 6: said it was the third third vehicle that weekend that
Speaker 6: had gone over that cliff. So, yeah, we had to
Speaker 6: walk up the cliff faith and yeah we were fine.
Speaker 2: Makes an awkward conversation for there to go.
Speaker 5: It's something more simply a passenger transport that they didn't
Speaker 5: normally come together.
Speaker 6: It was bizarre. Someone had had called it in obviously
Speaker 6: that it's seen us. And yeah, they were all waiting
Speaker 6: by the time we got back.
Speaker 4: Up the cliff.
Speaker 6: So then they had to go back into Lorn and
Speaker 6: get a toe truck to come and get the car,
Speaker 6: which we was washing out to sea. And by the
Speaker 6: time we got back to the car, somebody had gone
Speaker 6: and taken everything out of the car. Radio speakers.
Speaker 2: Wait the car is it didn't sink.
Speaker 6: We were about two feet in water, so the tide
Speaker 6: was going out that was actually taking the car out.
Speaker 6: We said, if the tide had been in, it might
Speaker 6: have been a little bit different story.
Speaker 1: Sure, so you must have rolled the car a couple
Speaker 1: of times then if you go down sixty meters.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we rolled from bonnet to boot four times, and
Speaker 6: the picture of the car afterwards you can actually see
Speaker 6: where the boulder pushed the motor to the left hand
Speaker 6: side of the car.
Speaker 2: And your husband at the time he was okay as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was fine. So he just had bruising from
Speaker 6: the seat belt. Oh yeah, I had a crack spurnum
Speaker 6: and actually had to sit up for three months to
Speaker 6: sleep because I couldn't actually lay down and put forth
Speaker 6: onto my chest.
Speaker 2: And so when did this happen, Liz? A couple of
Speaker 2: years ago?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is probably going back twenty five
Speaker 6: thirty years ago, So it's a fairwhele. And I've never
Speaker 6: been back through along that road ever.
Speaker 2: And do you do you ever? Does it ever come
Speaker 2: up again in dreams? Or do you think about it much?
Speaker 6: I do know, I don't tell the story. I sort
Speaker 6: of forgot about it. And then when I heard you
Speaker 6: on the radio, I'm like, oh, that's.
Speaker 2: A pretty good sorry radio show.
Speaker 5: You finally worked it out of a system and along.
Speaker 1: Finally getting clear of all Hey go right he finally
Speaker 1: just thoughts being trapped. Yes, it was.
Speaker 2: It was awful.
Speaker 6: It was just trying to get some part of car
Speaker 6: to actually open so we could get out before we
Speaker 6: sort of I.
Speaker 2: Don't imagine how scared you were.
Speaker 6: It was more shock. I think it did feel real, right.
Speaker 4: It's actually very.
Speaker 6: True what they say, because when we were rolling, I thought,
Speaker 6: this is how I'm dying. This is literally at the end.
Speaker 6: And it's very amazing what goes through your head so quickly,
Speaker 6: like what, oh, I went back to a two year
Speaker 6: old child. I literally went back to a little girl
Speaker 6: because I think, yeah, I don't know, I just went
Speaker 6: back in my childhood and there was so many flashes
Speaker 6: going through my head. It was just bisarre. It was like,
Speaker 6: how am I going to die? This is all the
Speaker 6: thoughts go into your head, like how am I going
Speaker 6: to die? It's something going to hit me on the head?
Speaker 1: Is you know?
Speaker 6: It's something going to I don't know. That's that's just
Speaker 6: all the things that we're going through. But literally it
Speaker 6: would have taken it sit not even that long to
Speaker 6: get down to the bottom, but just that that thought
Speaker 6: that goes to your head, you just like, how do
Speaker 6: you think of so many things in such a short
Speaker 6: space of time?
Speaker 1: Yeah, how amazing? Now, because obviously our understanding of time
Speaker 1: is one thing. And then sometimes even when you have
Speaker 1: a good time or a bad time. It has some
Speaker 1: other different property, isn't it. It's like you go time
Speaker 1: traveling and how amazing and those nanoseconds or whatever it was.
Speaker 1: All of that is going through your head. You're in
Speaker 1: the real time experience of and I can guess how
Speaker 1: will I actually die? Will it be paying for what's
Speaker 1: going to happen now? And then suddenly you go back
Speaker 1: to scene where you're Yeah, you like time traveling and
Speaker 1: you're two and you're in that moment.
Speaker 6: And I don't know why I went back to the
Speaker 6: age of two, like I could have gone back to ten.
Speaker 6: I could have gone back to any age.
Speaker 1: And when you're happened? Was it like a sunny scene?
Speaker 1: Was it from like the summer?
Speaker 6: Or it was funner? Yeah? It was news day.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: We thought we'd just go through drive and go to
Speaker 6: the beach and do whatever and the work. And another
Speaker 6: thing too, was the day before I got very badly
Speaker 6: sun burnt and with the rolling of the car, I
Speaker 6: got out of the carr and all the back of
Speaker 6: my legs had blisted into tennis ball size blisters all
Speaker 6: down the back, and every time I'd walk one would
Speaker 6: pop and it would feel like you'd beat yourself because
Speaker 6: there was this water going there an in the leg.
Speaker 2: But the paramedics got very confused, Sure, what do we
Speaker 2: treat first? Why does she look like that?
Speaker 6: Which one are we going? You know, what are we
Speaker 6: going to do for this? So yeah, so that we
Speaker 6: were very lucky to walk away from you.
Speaker 1: It's an incredible story, and Liz, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: You give us a call and going back to it
Speaker 1: as well. It can't be a comfortable memory sometimes, but
Speaker 1: it's just really interesting as well.
Speaker 2: Incredible story.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was very interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 1: All right, Liz, thank you very much for trusting us
Speaker 1: that and have a good day you two.
Speaker 6: Thank you Christian, Thank you guys.
