I Bawled my eyes out watching the story of the woman who was trapped in the car for three days after a kangaroo jumped on her car and caused her to loose control and go down an embankment on Christmas Day. She had such a wonderful spirit. The experience has left her believing the life ahead of her will be better than ever and feeling closer to her daughter and grandchild than ever before.

I have seen that happen before when people have such life threatening experiences. It's not that we ever took life for granted before them it's just we treasure every contact we have with loved ones even more. As a grandmother myself I love seeing my grandchildren with their interests even the testors model paint, computer games, young adult novels and ballet performances. Families are so special. Just one more reason to be so very careful driving on the roads especially at dawn and dusk where there might be stray stock or wildlife.

About the accident:- Acting Sergeant Roy Elmes said the car could not be seen from the road.

"It's quite astounding and she's very very lucky. I'm sure she would have been quite relieved to have someone just happen to walk past and she's had someone to call out to and the rescue's been not too far away after that," Sergeant Elmes said.

"She does have some serious injuries. She's lucky though. I think the weather's been a bit cooler and we've had some rain, otherwise I think it could've been different circumstances."_
