An Irish backpacker who had her scalp ripped off in a horrific farming accident is recovering in a Melbourne hospital.
Annmarie Dunne, from Tipperary in Ireland, was working on a farm in Shepparton East to gain a second year on her working holiday visa.
Her hair became caught in a conveyor belt on November 9 and her scalp was pulled off.
She was airlifted to The Alfred Hospital with major head injuries and a hospital spokesman told AAP on Friday that she remains in a stable condition.
A crowdfunding campaign for Ms Dunne has so far raised more than $28,000 so her family can be in Australia while she recovers.
A WorkSafe investigation into the accident is ongoing.
