It was a moment that made headlines around the world.

‘4 years ago today I was released from Kerobokan prison. Bali Indonesia. 8.10.2004 - 10.2.2014. #whataf'ingnightmare,’ Schapelle wrote simply on her Instagram page – which has amassed a following of 193,000.

Schapelle accompanied her post with a picture of the jail where she spent 10 years of her life.

The grainy image shows what appears to be a view of the prison from behind bars.

Just a day earlier, Schapelle had taken to social media to share her excitement about passing her driving licence.

‘I got it. I passed. In QLD if your driver licence has expired over 5 years (as mine was) you need to 1. Do the written test. 2. Book in and Pass your driven test. From 'L' plates straight to Open licence.

‘I’ve been home since May 2017, why has it taken me so long to get my licence?... well that'd be because I had a broken leg of course. 

‘Leg is healing well & I’m so excited to have my independence. Now just need a car,’ Schapelle wrote, tagging car manufacturer Mercedes Benz in the post.
