This isnt far down the road from my place south of Cairns. It appears that they had a big weekend and maybe even a bit of a yike and she then wanderd into the rainforest. It is fairly open once past the edges because not much light gets through but there is a lot of Lawyer vine which has very vicious hooks and that tore her clothes. Plenty of water flowing and she was near a creek which kept her alive.
Losing 14 kg puts Jenny Craig to shame and it might take off as a new diet center.
Cassowaries can be very dangerous and also wild pigs which are common. The crocodile she saw was probably a freshie so not much problem from it.
Very lucky lady to find her way out after getting well into the area because it is massive.
