Evie Clark is lucky to be alive after being stung as many as 300 times by a swarm of what are believed to be European wasps.

Evie, 7, was playing by a creek at the recreation reserve in Braidwood, east of Canberra, on April 11 when she fell on to a wasp nest.

Evie was first stung by one wasp before a swarm engulfed her as one of her friends ran to get help.



When Evie's father Troy found her, she had blacked out, and he fended off wasps as he drove her to hospital.
