The cancer survivor said she lived off river water, small fish and insects, but suffered at the hands of the brutal outback.

Severley sunburnt and covered in infected scratches, Shannon described how she lay down in the river for three days to soothe her skin.

Her brother, Dylan Fraser, described that his sibling ‘stayed strong, and made it out’ despite her obvious exhaustion.

Shannon, who lost 16kgs during the ordeal, said she cried herself to sleep every night, but that the thought of her three children kept her going.

She had proposed to boyfriend Heath Cassady just two days before she went missing.

‘I could always feel in my heart that she was alive’ said her husband-to-be.

Luckily for Shannon, a banana farmer happened to be eating his breakfast at the exact time she emerged from the bush, sunburnt and exhausted, and he managed to get her to a nearby hospital.
