In July 1997 the dramatic rescue of a sole survivor from the landslide rubble at Thredbo Village captured the attention of the world.
The devastating tragedy claimed the lives of 18 people who lay entombed beneath tonnes of debris and mud. But Stuart Diver, whose young wife Sally died beside him in the first moments of the slide, had clung to life buried beneath a concrete slab for 65 freezing hours.
This is Stuart Diver's amazing story, of how he found the mental and physical strength to live through the ordeal and survive against seemingly impossible odds. Stuart relives the event that changed the world forever and reveals how the lessons he learned at Thredbo can help each of us find the inner strength to become a survivor.
