A Belgian backpacker who was held hostage by a Gumtree rapist in a South Australian farm has revealed how her attacker lured her into a pig shed and coaxed her into lying face down.
Davine Arckens, 24, spoke of her terrifying ordeal for the first time in an emotional interview with 60 Minutes.
The avid traveller was looking to meet her visa requirements while visiting Australia and had posted an advertisement seeking short-term work in February 2017.

After receiving a response from a man offering jobs to backpackers, Davine thought her prayers had been answered - but in reality, her nightmare was just beginning.
Under a phony name of 'Max', 54-year-old Gene Bristow offered her employment on a pig farm, claiming he was part of a network of farms hiring foreigners.
'He spoke about another French girl, who was recently going to another farm, so that made me feel a bit more reassured, like, "okay, there are other people doing this job just like me"', Davine said.
Bristow arranged to pick her up at a bus station before going on a drawn-out, two-hour drive to their destination to make her believe she was travelling to a remote area.
When they finally arrived at the property in Meningie, located 150km southeast of Adelaide, Bristow would continue his charade for a little bit longer, showing Davine around the farm.
'We got to the shed and he was still explaining, "this is where you raise the calves, this is where you will feed them'", she said.
'I didn't expect anything to happen'.
She then revealed how her attacker was able to get her in a vulnerable position by requesting to examine her for signs of drug use.
'He wanted to make sure I wasn't doing any of the drugs, because he told me he had problems before. He wanted to look for needle marks', Davine said.
