Bushwalk Australia

A BELGIAN visitor lost in dense bush in Victoria’s east for five nights has told how she survived only on creek water, fearing that eating anything would kill her. Veronique Biunkens was also scared that if the cold nights and hot days without food didn’t get her, then poisonous snakes and spiders or wild dogs would.Speaking publicly for the first time since being rescued last month, Ms Biunkens said she was too frightened to eat plant or animal life, or to grab tempting berries off shrubs, in case any of it was poisonous.

I found the same but then went to Google news and search her name using Australia only as a filter and it came up with the story which was picked up by another agency that did not require subscription. It really didn't say any more than that which was first printed after she was found apart from a big highlighted section on her survival tips which makes it look like she is an expert. That is the media and not her.
