Nepal earthquake survivor Soraya Gillbanks is hoping to fly out of Kathmandu today if flights are permitted.
The 27-year-old Havelock North woman watched buildings crumble around her as a 7.8 magnitude quake struck about 11.45am local time on Saturday.
She spent a night in the street with friend Kristen Mccreghan before heading to a makeshift camp at the Australian Embassy where there was access to food, water and she could phone her mother Carol Waghorn.
"They're calling their little camp, camp Anzac," Ms Waghorn said yesterday.
The Woodford House old girl got in touch 10 minutes after a breaking-news bulletin flashed up during the rugby, to let family know she was alive and "not to worry".
