Ten teenagers in a group of 13 were hit when a station wagon careered out of control across Myall Rd, in Cardross near Mildura, about 9.40pm on Saturday.

Killed instantly were brother and sister Shane Hirst, and Abby Hirst, , 16 and 17, Cory Dowling, 16, Stevie-Lee Weight, 15, Josie Calvi,16


Her sister, Kirsten, remembered Cassandra's love of watching footy, cricket and tennis. Her talent for gymnastics. Her winning rock eisteddfod performances. The marathon shopping trips in the city. Her gift for sensing if anyone had disturbed anything in her room. Her love of books. The blushes that would cover her "from the top of her head to the tip of her toes — she hated this aspect of her make-up".

She also had "the world record for sending text messages — 1300 in one month … (but) only after 8pm".

Friends remembered Cassandra for her smile, her bursts of laughter, and her tendency to talk so fast they struggled to understand her. They brought flowers, toys, and a Tigers scarf to drape over her casket before forming a guard of honour.
