Convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby is back on home soil and causing a frenzy - after nine years of imprisonment in Bali.

She dodged media in a bizzare chain of events from a last minute flight change, to media decoys.

In a statement, Schapelle Corby thanked her supporters but hasn't been spotted in public since her return.

Australia Correspondent, Donna Demaio, told Nadine Higgins the Corby family appeared to be taunting the media in strange scenes at their Brisbane home.

"There was a man wearing what can only be described as a horrific Halloween style mask at the gate, even Mercedes came out at one point and started to film the media," she said.
