Woman Rescued After 7 Hour Boulder Rescue Matilda Campbell trapped upside down after phone retrieval attempt leads to unexpected challengesA woman who attempted to recover her lost phone found herself upside down and wedged between two boulders for seven long hours, highlighting the risks involved when adventurous spirits meet nature’s unpredictability. By the time help arrived, Campbell had been hanging upside down for over an hour. Emergency services quickly mobilized, consisting of the New South Wales (NSW) Ambulance, Cessnock Volunteer Rescue Association, and Rural Fire Service. They carefully built a hardwood frame to stabilize the area around Campbell to prevent any falling debris during the rescue. "We were worried about how any movement could risk shoving her down the hole even farther, making her even harder to reach," Watts explained.
