Woman is trapped in waist-deep human poo for THREE HOURS after falling through the floor of Outback toilet at Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve, NT

A tourist who stopped in the middle of the Australian outback for a toilet break has spent three hours waist-deep in human faeces after she fell down the loo.

The woman was driving across Central Australia with her family on Sunday when they pulled over at Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve to use a long drop – which consists of a hole in the ground below a toilet bowl.

To the woman’s horror, the floor collapsed due to the rust and she plunged into the two-metre deep sewage pit.

With no mobile phone signal in the area, her family had no choice but to leave her behind to drive to the nearest town an hour away to seek help.

The woman was trapped in the hole for three hours covered in ‘deep sh*t’ before she was rescued by a Good Samaritan tradie passing by.

The delicate 45-minute rescue involved dismantling the toilet with the tradie’s tools and lowering a tow rope into the hole for her to reach before winching her to safety using his car.

‘There’s sh*t, literal nappies, piss, all in that hole,’ a shocked witness told the NT News.

‘You couldn’t even see the toilet.’

The ‘incredibly shaken’ woman suffered minor cuts and was driven 144km to Alice Springs Hospital for further assessment. 

It’s understood she and her family were travelling from Canberra. 

The toilet has since been cordoned off as NT WorkSafe launched an investigation.

‘The notification was made by the agency with management of the conservation zone, as a collapse or partial collapse of a structure, which is a dangerous incident under the work health and safety laws,’ a spokesperson said.

Community Facebook page Action for Alice shared photos of the aftermath.

‘This won’t feature in tourism brochures,’ it wrote.

‘The decaying infrastructure of NT tourism.’
