Shannon Leah Fischer from Queensland, Australia was at a swimming hole with a friend in September 2014. After having an argument with her fiance, she decided to go for a walk alone in order to calm down. She then got lost not long after starting off and was lost a full 17 days until she found her way back. She came back almost exactly where she had first become lost and was almost completely naked except for a fertilizer bag. When she was found by a farmer named Brad Finch, she had lost 35 pounds, her leg was badly injured, and she was sunburned to the point of almost bleeding. She had survived by eating bugs and drinking water from a stream after wandering up into the mountains, the opposite direction of where the search party was looking.
