## Resource

Until the moment five villagers stuck in a flooded cave for more than a week were rescued, the group had no idea a rescue mission was even afoot. It's a story with echoes of the famous Thai cave rescue of 2018 - and in fact, some of the same divers are involved. Today, we're taking you through what happened and where things stand.  Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Billi FitzSimons Producer: Rosa Bowden Today's podcast was sponsored by YWCA, to learn more please visit:  ywca.org.au/membership Want to support The Daily Aus?
