“I finally got back to Warrnambool this morning,” she said on Monday. “Just in time to get the school lunches sorted.”
Mrs Jellie said despite the horror and missing her own family, it was comforting to know her mother was okay.
“I was actually glad to be there for mum,” she said. “It was such a surreal and scary experience.”
