Drought: The Last Straw Schapelle's First Moments of Freedom Drought: The Last Straw Sunday Night brings you the deeply personal Australian story. In vast regions of the country, it’s the driest it’s ever been. Our food supply is in real jeopardy. Reporter Alex Cullen takes us back home to his farm to meet his mum and dad who are doing it tough. It has never been this bad. A story of mateship and fighting spirit, we meet the Australian heroes trying to keep it all together. Reporter: Alex Cullen Producer: Alex Hodgkinson Schapelle's First Moments of Freedom After almost a decade, the girl who loved the ocean had forgotten what it was like. Schapelle Corby stumbled across a Balinese beach and threw herself into the water, falling clumsily under the waves as they crashed around her. It was a symbolic moment in the convicted drug smuggler's first days of freedom and a rare victory against the media circus that has camped outside the luxury villa where she has been bunkered for the past three weeks.
