Schapelle Corby posts video watching her own chaotic arrival

Drug smuggler Schapelle Corby has continued her Instagram uploading spree and in her latest post can be seen watching Sunrise coverage of her arrival back in Australia.

In her latest Instagram post, a gleeful Corby appears pleased with the chaos surrounding her arrival from Bali.

The Instagram clip posted late on Monday night starts with a large television screen showing live chopper footage from Channel 7's Sunrise program of two black vans taking a motorway off-ramp.

The camera pans away to show Corby, dressed in black and white, smiling and giving a one-shoulder shrug as she stands watching the television with other adults in what appears to be a hotel room.

The convicted drug smuggler has eluded journalists in her first 48 hours back on home soil and the clip is believed to be the first time she has shown herself publicly since her return to Australia.

The one-time Gold Coast beauty student hadn't been properly sighted since returning to Queensland early on Sunday morning, sparking an elaborate cat-and-mouse game with waiting media.

It's been thought she might be hiding out in Brisbane's Sofitel hotel.

"There's the convoy. 'Pelle's being chased by helicopter," her sister Mercedes is heard saying as she shoots the video and gives a chuckle.

"In that car, but ... there we are," she is heard saying as she pans to her sister.

Corby was reported to have received more than 65,000 views of the Instagram clip.

"Good bye to this parole paper work. Approching parole office for the last time," Corby wrote in one of her first posts. Source: Instagram

On Monday their mother, Rosleigh Rose, wasn't keen to divulge Corby's whereabouts to a thinned-out media pack camped outside her Loganlea home, south of Brisbane.

"Didn't you know? She caught a flight yesterday to Cairns," Ms Rose said.

"Ummm, I might have to go to the airport to get on a plane to Darwin, Cairns, Gladstone, wherever."

Ms Corby was deported to Australia from Indonesia over the weekend, almost 13 years after she was caught with 4.2kg of marijuana in her boogie board bag at Bali's Denpasar Airport.
