A British backpacker was forced to flee after her boss threatened to rape while she was working in a hostel to get her second year working holiday visa.
Frances Fairs said that as soon as she arrived at the hostel in regional Victoria, she knew it wasn't going to be easy.
The place was filthy - the stained mattresses were riddled with bed bugs and there were holes in the walls.
But Ms Fairs needed to complete 88 days working in the area to be able to stay in Australia for a second year.
During the first few weeks living and working at the hostel her boss became increasingly inappropriate and started making unwanted sexual advances.

Ms Fairs felt uncomfortable, but she hadn't been paid yet, so she stayed.
She worked tirelessly washing sheets and cleaning the rooms for the guests who, like her, were completing the visa
