Vic: Aust woman trampled to death by an elephant

An Australian woman has been trampled to death by an elephant during a horse-riding
safari in Africa.

Twenty-nine-year-old KERRIE MORROW's grieving family will be reunited with her on Friday,
when her body is flown home from Zimbabwe for burial.

Ms MORROW's elder sister MICHELLE says KERRIE had just arrived at Victoria Falls in
Zimbabwe and had taken the horse ride safari as an extra to the organised tour.

She fell off her horse and a female elephant with a calf charged her and trampled her.

The family says they've been humbled by the hundreds of tributes from KERRIE's travelling
friends around the world.
