Hi Di
So sorry to hear you have suffered a family tragedy. I too live in Lake Macquarie, and I guess we've had our fair share lately.

Hi Didi, had wondered where you were.
my thoughts are with you on your tragedy.
I too hope Chrissy is O.K. friends are on the Pacific Dawn will be in Vila on Sunday. I'll ask them when they return if they saw her outside the gate.
kind regards, Lorraine:) :)

Is Chrissy the Australian lady that collects money at the gate for the local hospital ? If so, I do also hope that she is OK

Definately NOT our Chrissy!!! The lady was a retired school teacher.
The expats are quite upset about it over there, as you would be.

Hi Everyone,
We had a lovely chat with Chrissy and I can confirm that she is definitely ok! Apparently her daughter got a little of a fright from the news report and called her brother in a panic at midnight when she heard it. For those who are interested in helping Chrissy out she will happily accept notes in exchange for coins as she cannot change them either.
I can confirm that there was indeed an Australian woman murdered in Vila. She was a 69 year old retired teacher and they believe she was murdered by her gardener. The police captured him but he escaped. We had a read of the local newspaper while in Vila and it was front page news. There was actually two murders in Vila but I can't remember the details of the other one.
Cheers,
Charmain:)
