00:02This is just a really tragic story coming out of Japan this morning.
00:06Eight-year-old Chloe Jeffries, as you said, has died after a snowmobile accident in Hakuba,
00:13a really popular ski resort or area in Japan.
00:18A lot of Australians travel there to go skiing and to snowmobile, evidently,
00:25as Chloe and her mother were at the time.
00:28They were taking part in a snowmobile tour when the vehicle flipped, trapping little Chloe underneath.
00:36The eight-year-old girl has been described by her netball team on the Gold Coast
00:41as having a beautiful nature and a cheeky, infectious smile.
00:47Her team are going to hold a tribute to her before the season kicks off this weekend.
00:54Just a really tragic event for that family and, no doubt, that community on the Gold Coast.
01:01We know that the snowmobile company, the tour company that Chloe and her mum were taking part in at the
01:08time,
01:08has now suspended those operations for the time being.
01:12DFAT is also providing what consular assistance it can to those in Japan.
01:19But, as you mentioned, Gemma, this is the fourth Australian to die while on holidays in Japan this year.
01:25Just a really tragic, tragic news out of Japan this morning.
01:30?
01:32What about a candle in the olive tree?
