The pregnant widow of an Australian snowboarding champion has organised a private vigil for her boyfriend at the beach he drowned exactly a year ago.
Ellidy Vlug watched the sunrise with her Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin's parents Chris and Sally at Palm Beach, Queensland, where he died while spearfishing on July 8, 2020.
Ms Vlug and her would-be in-laws were huddled together, supporting each other as they watched the sun come up at the water's edge while their dogs scampered on the sand on the anniversary of Pullin's tragic death.
