Inside Schapelle Corby's life on parole in Bali

If Schapelle Corby has a calendar on her fridge, it's a fair bet she has circled the date May 27.
On that day, bright and early, Corby will report to the Bali parole office for the last time before she is deported back to Australia on the next available flight.
For the last three years she has led a life of leisure in Kuta, with daily swims and jogs along the beach front.
Only few kilometres away are the peeling walls of Kerobokan Prison, where she served nearly ten years for trying to smuggle a stash of cannabis into Bali by hiding it inside a bodyboard bag. 
Corby was originally sentenced to a crushing 20 years in jail. After some smart legal work, on February 10, 2014, she became the first foreigner to be released on parole in Indonesia. She couldn't leave Bali, but she was free.
She spends most mornings at a secluded beach, frequented by local fisherman and a handful of wealthy expats who own nearby waterfront villas.
Her day usually starts with a short jog of 10 to 15 minutes and ends with a few stretching exercises. She also enjoys swimming and snorkelling among the bright blue Balinese fishing boats. 
A short scooter ride and she is back at the small house she rents with her brother Michael. Her neighbours know her routine and are well aware they are rubbing shoulders with the woman the local media used to call the "Ganja Queen".
A week after he arrest in 2004, I was allowed by her lawyer to see Schapelle in a room at the Denpasar Police headquarters. 
She was a nervous 27-year-old as she tried to convince me Balinese police would believe her story that someone has placed the cannabis inside her bag.
I filmed the interview on a small hand-held video camera. While I had my doubts about her story, for many years polls showed a majority of Australians believed her story and thought she was innocent.
A few days ago, I approached Schapelle for another interview. She had just finished her morning run and was walking to her scooter. I bowled up an easy question about her return to Australia.
Within seconds, she was on her bike speeding away. Not a word. 
If Corby does sit down for an interview on her return, it might not be the million dollar windfall she may have been dreaming of.
Under the Proceeds of Crime act, the Australian Federal Police can confiscate any money she earns from profiting from her crime.
Criminal law specialist Sam Macedone believes if Corby does tries to cash in, the AFP will act.
"I think Schapelle is s a very much a live issue," he told 9NEWS.
"They've already taken $128,000 off her in 2009 when she sold her story to one of the magazines.
"If she does the same things now when she comes back to Australia, I have no doubt they will proceed and take that money off her as well."
Last week Schapelle could be seen floating in the waters off her private beach sanctuary. Arms outstretched, sunglasses on as she gazed skyward.
In 10 weeks she flies back to reality. She'll be dodging an avalanche of reporters, there willl be cameras everywhere she goes. As interest fades she'll have to find a job.
A 39-year-old with a conviction for drug smuggling. It won't be easy.
Drifting in the waters off a Kuta Beach on a blue-sky day will be just a memory.
