A Koo Wee Rup Secondary School student was reported trapped in Brittania Creek Cave in Wesburn around 3.20pm on Wednesday 9 March.
The 14-year-old was exiting the caves while on a Year 9 school camp when her knee became stuck and she was unable to escape.
Upper Yarra SES, Wesburn-Millgrove and Yarra Junction CFA’s, Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria responded, totaling five vehicles on scene by 3.39pm, approximately an hour after the girl first became trapped. CFA captains from Millgrove-Wesburn and Yarra Junction CFA were present.
The trapped student was given Penthrox — commonly known as the green whistle — to reduce any pain or fear she may have experienced. She was eventually rescued unharmed.
