But nothing happened.

I said to my friends, if you'd been prettier, we'd have been in there.

I didn't know, you see, I didn't know what... I wasn't wise to what they wanted because they told me they needed this medical information for identification purposes, which was a lie.

My parents were eventually identified from dental records, simple as that.

So, you know, I was unwittingly helping their case.

Well, I kept pestering as to the identification, you know, how long it would take.

And eventually, it took about 10 days, I think, of sitting around.

Eventually, there was a positive identification and they said, would you like these bodies in coffins or cremated?

And I said, I'd like them in coffins.

So they arranged my return itinerary and I was to pick up the coffins.

You know, the coffins would be there to go on the plane with me.

And when I arrived at the airport, they'd been cremated.

Against your wishes, against your express wishes.

Against my express wishes.

And I was given my parents in casket, small cremains, they're cremains in containers, in a plastic shopping bag, which I took on to the plane as carry-on luggage.

I don't know what that was.

You know, it was a final sort of rudeness.

And there was no, you know, on the way home, you know, there was none of the attention that I'd been given on the way over.

So it was a hard trip home.

And what did you do when your plane landed on the ground at Adelaide Airport?
