More than 12 years after boarding a flight that would see her thrust from a relaxed life on the Gold Coast into that of a convicted drug smuggler, Schapelle Corby is returning home.

Having spent this week inside her Kuta villa in Bali, sheltering from a growing media pack, the anxious 39-year-old is expected to board a flight from Denpasar to Brisbane late on Saturday night.
Her sister Mercedes and her bodyguard, who has protected the likes of the Dalai Lama and Roger Federer, are expected to join her in the journey, while up to 100 police officers are set to be deployed to guard her home.
