A woman in Australia was stuck upside down deep inside a crevice for hours after she fell while trying to retrieve her phone.

Matilda Campbell (23) was bushwalking with friends when her phone fell into a three-metre-deep crevice in Hunter Valley in New South Wales on October 12. She bent down to retrieve the phone when she slipped and fell head-first inside the crevice, hanging by her feet.
