With Schapelle still in hiding because of the public frenzy over her homecoming, her family open up to PHILLIP KOCH.
There was a flood of joyful tears when Schapelle Corby was finally reunited with her mum, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews on the Gold Coast last week – after 48 hours of cloak-and-dagger measures to avoid the media.
Two days after her longawaited return, her older sister Mercedes was able to finally reunite Schapelle, 39, with her two nephews and niece, who spent their childhoods visiting their aunty in jail in Bali.
“It was the happiest I’ve ever seen her,” shares Mercedes’ son Wayan, 17. “It was pretty emotional. I came up and gave her a big hug like I normally do, and we talked about the flight and what she’s going to do now. There were lots of tears, but they were tears of joy.”
The handsome teenager, who got his Ps last week, says he can’t wait to take “Aunty Pelle” on a drive to one of his favourite surf spots on the Gold Coast.
