A woman taking pictures in Australia’s Hunter Valley region dropped her phone —
and then slipped into a rock crevice, where she was stuck upside-down as
emergency responders tried to free her.

She found herself literally “between a rock and a hard place” — caught between
two boulders in a roughly 10-foot (three-meter) crevice on Oct. 12, the
ambulance service of New South Wales said in a Facebook post Monday.
