We first shared this remarkable home back when it was built in 2021 – but a few years later we’re still wowed by its three levels of luxury good looks Hitting market this week we thought it was the perfect opportunity to have another peek inside Set into the magnificent cliffs of Blackwall Reach, Infinity Views is a sight for sore eyes, designed by Superseed Architecture and constructed by Capozzi Building has some views that’ll knock your bloody socks off – with huge outlooks over the sparkling waters of the Swan River from every floor These views are made even more impressive by the house’s position a huge 25 metres above sea level – meaning you can see all the way across to peek some views of the ocean And while every floor has a pretty speccy view the best place to take them in has got to be from the luxe but we can certainly see ourselves relaxing in that pool after a long day Or maybe from the primary bedroom’s freestanding bath You can also give guests the benefit of that view from the ample outdoor entertaining areas The ground floor boasts 150 square metres of decking adjacent to the pool The top floor has a spectacular alfresco dining area with arguably the most spectacular views across the river and provides a window through to the river as you arrive at the home’s cobblestone driveway The middle floor’s balcony is similarly large perfect for reclining with a book or enjoying a casual cocktail with friends contemporary goodness – including four bedrooms four bathrooms (plus there’s that outdoor shower!) Much of the home’s design is influenced by yachts reflected in those sweeping curves and nautical materiality There’s also a lift and a large capacity wine cellar you’ll obviously need somewhere to keep your cars – and there’s a four-car garage with car stacker that’ll keep your motors safe If the riverfront lifestyle sounds like it’s for you, you can check out the listing here or take a look at the snazzy video below for more of a peek inside Image credits: RM Vision photography View From The Round House With Martin Drum Last week we focused on the new Trump era and wondered when Albo will name the Federal election date (Your Editor still thinks before ANZAC Day.)

(The indoor counter running the length of this corner tenancy makes a lovely perch, although the umbrella-shaded parklet deserves consideration, too.) Or do I want my half-dozen fresh oysters ($20) to have come from Sydney, Tasmania or Albany? (While not shucked to order, they’ve been handled carefully enough to still taste of the sea.) And do I want fat coins of pickled octopus brightened by a luminous sapphire jumble of wakame salad ($16)? (Say yes, say yes.) These aren’t decisions eaters normally encounter at the fish and chipper. Then again, Fins Bicton is no normal fish and chipper. If you know Fins, you’ll know two things. One: in less than a decade, Fins went from small South Perth fishmonger to go-getting seafood distributor. And two: founders John Cordin and Phil Clark are two of the most excitable hype-men for fish consumption that you’ll ever meet. For Fins Bicton, they envisaged a seven-day fish shop with benefits: namely, a licensed kitchen where guests could eat Australian and New Zealand seafood either in-store or take-away. To make this happen, the gents recruited partners Grant Jones, Asher Flynn and, crucially, Seth James: a Queensland-born chef whose intricate, precise dishes at Margaret River’s Wills Domain and Frui Momento denoted him as a serious cooking talent. Relax. There are no tweezers, baby veg or other fine-dining hallmarks here. Instead, what James brings to the party are smart ideas borrowed from the restaurant arena. Champion (house-made) sauces also speak to kitchen know-how, from tartare sauce ($2) overclocked with more cornichons than most store-bought specimens, to a perky Vietnamese-inspired dressing of fish sauce, chilli and vinegar that transforms finely shredded cabbage and carrot into a coleslaw ($7/$13) of unusual lightness. Shout out, too, to the thoughtful offer of rotating salads. But most restaurant-y of all are the imaginative small plates. The scallops with a caramelised red miso butter ($9), say, or the pale, zesty snapper ceviche impatient with the urgency of lime juice ($22) and served alongside great corn chips: a fun example of the high-brow, low-brow mashups that chefs love so much. But what if you don’t feel like day-tripping to Peru? What if you prefer fish cooked with hot oil rather than citrus? What if you want a straight-up fish and chips experience? They’ve got you. You can tell a lot about a restaurant by its entry-level offerings. Here, it’s honey-coloured plinths of battered Australian hoki ($14) that shatters satisfyingly to reveal its flaky, almost lustrous flesh. Consider the basics nailed. While snapper and whiting are also available, you can also have any fillet of fish in the cabinet – with the addition of a $12.50 surcharge – cooked as you like. In both thickness and crunch, skin-on chips ($5 or $10) are more akin to fries but still tick the box for tasty ballast. The small serve feels right for two while the bigger portion is designed for groups and families. ‘This is a perfect pizza’: The 10 best things our restaurant critic ate (and drank) in 2024And to the other fish and chipper standards snow-like coating equals dainty salt and pepper squid ($14) Filling potato scallops ($7) are five to a serve and feature waxy wedges of ’tater clad in a crisp seasoning levels can veer towards the heavy – the fried stuff can be especially salty – but let’s face it fish and chips has never been considered health food While there’s plenty of restaurant DNA in the menu and service – venue manager Giada Bousi worked alongside James in Margaret River – don’t come here expecting a restaurant experience You order at the counter and may find yourself stuck behind first-timers buying dinner for the family plus guests carry their own drinks to their table But consider the above not as an admonishment a casual setting no longer means casual cooking and if dispensing with some bells and whistles translates to lower prices Fins Bicton mightn’t be WA’s first “gourmet fish and chips” concept but it feels very “now” and neatly slots into that growing mid-range market that more eaters (and cooks) are looking to A confession: in December, I compiled my favourite openings of 2024 but, embarrassingly, left Fins Bicton off the list often get overlooked for such round-ups.)

The aunt of a man accused of murdering his mother has told a Perth court she saw his car parked outside her sister\\u2019s Bicton home on the morning she died. Andre Rebelo, 28, is on trial in the Supreme Court of WA over the death of his mother, 58-year-old Colleen Rebelo, at her Bicton home in 2020. He has pleaded guilty to forging documents by taking out life insurances totalling more than $1 million in his mother\\u2019s name just days before she was found dead in her en suite shower. He then admitted he went on to try and cash in one of the policies, which was worth $500,000, by forging a coroner\\u2019s report and a signed statement from a psychologist to say she was not suicidal. However, he denies being responsible for the 58-year-old\\u2019s death. On Monday, Rebelo\\u2019s aunt, Pearl Fleming, told the jury she drove past her sister\\u2019s home about 11am on May 25, 2020, because she lived on the same street. Fleming said a white Range Rover Evoque was parked at the front of the house, which she later determined belonged to Rebelo when she saw him getting into it at her sister\\u2019s funeral. The court previously heard Colleen died between 10am and 2pm that day after dropping her youngest son, Fabian, at work. Fabian returned to the house later that day to find his mother dead in the shower. The state alleges Rebelo killed his mother and placed her into the shower to make it look like she had died of a medical episode. Rebelo\\u2019s twin sister Monique also gave evidence on Monday, telling the court she had no idea her brother had taken out insurance policies in their mother\\u2019s name, or tried to claim against them. Monique, who was staying at the Bicton home while she trained to become a paramedic, told the court she saw her mother on the morning of her death. \\u201CShe was very healthy, she was very active,\\u201D she said. \\u201CI thought she would live a very long, happy life.\\u201D Monique told the jury she received a call from her mother\\u2019s psychologist three months after her death. \\u201CShe contacted me because she was saying there had been someone trying to use her name to verify information with regards to insurance, and she was concerned it might be my brother Andre,\\u201D she said. \\u201CI called Andre, he denied the claims and said it was wrong and that nothing like that had occurred, and she must have had the wrong person. \\u201CHe texted me a little later and said [the psychologist] made a mistake, it was the wrong Colleen.\\u201D Monique, who avoided eye contact with her brother throughout the entirety of her evidence, also told the court a friend had arranged to collect two bags from her mother\\u2019s home on the day she died, which were waiting in the hallway of the house. She told the court she saw no other bags in the hall when she left that morning, despite the court previously hearing Rebelo claimed he left a bag of clothes that day for Fabian. The court was told on Friday that Rebelo sent a text message to Fabian telling him he had left the clothes, but the 23-year-old brother gave evidence that The court also heard evidence on Monday from a police officer who attended the house on the day Colleen was found dead. He told the court she was found on the bathroom floor, naked and wet from a shower, but wearing jewellery including a necklace, earrings, a bracelet, a ring and a gold watch. A coronial investigation could not establish how Colleen died. Kelda Read, one of Colleen\\u2019s closest friends also gave evidence on Monday, telling the jury they spoke often about her four children, and Colleen was concerned about Andre\\u2019s work in the social media sphere. \\u201CShe wasn\\u2019t very happy about it,\\u201D Read said. \\u201CShe didn\\u2019t think it could be a long-term lifestyle. She wondered what they would do later on in life if someone newer came along.\\u201D But she told the jury Colleen was \\u201Ca wonderful mother\\u201D who would \\u201Cdo anything for those children\\u201D. The court heard Colleen had been a single parent for much of the children\\u2019s life after an acrimonious divorce from their father, but put herself through university. She began a new job with the Health Department two weeks before her death, having worked in night fill and cafes for years. Read also told the court Colleen worried about money and was mostly just making ends meet before her death. On the first day of the trial last week, the jury was told around the time she died, with prosecutors alleging he was there for more than an hour, giving him the opportunity to kill his mother and place her body in the shower. Rebelo is accused of killing his mother for the money he would receive from her life insurance policies in a desperate attempt to continue living a life of glamour with his Instagram-famous girlfriend, Grace Piscopo. Tooker told the jury last week that Rebelo was in a \\u201Cdire\\u201D financial position and being hounded by debt collectors in the months leading up to his mother\\u2019s death. Tooker claimed Rebelo struggled to keep up with his girlfriend, who was a successful model and influencer, and used other people\\u2019s money to bankroll his attempts to become a cryptocurrency day-trader. \\u201CThe walls were closing in ... if he wanted to be successful ... then he had to kill his mother,\\u201D Tooker said.

While the recommendation immediately put Kub Kao in our brain’s “cautiously optimistic” category when we finally got there ourselves we were immediately on board A pared-back menu means it’s chock-a-block with heavy hitters – like the deliciously crispy salt and pepper roast pork belly served with green peppercorns and aromatic kaffir lime leaves (We also couldn’t resist swiping the crispy pork crackling through the creamy choo chee curry sauce which was served with tender slices of grilled beef rump.) It was a fortuitous few weeks that saw both Hunter Bread and Rym Tarng open in Bicton Central – followed by even more deliciousness as the hub has developed is pumping out some pretty unforgettable Thai plates from the 16-seat restaurant Pork and prawn donuts are enough of a reason to visit but signature dishes like a fiery Angus beef salad or enticingly charred choo chee prawns certainly help seal the deal Hidden away in the Central160 food court, Thai takeaway joint Soi29 (or Soi56 depending who you ask) is home to perhaps our favourite lunch in the city – and in spite of our hesitation to create even longer lines we can’t deny the magnetic pull of not just their slow cooked beef khao soi but their unparalleled crispy chicken and rice Truly the salve to any bad day at the office Market regular Bangkok Jump Street has made the leap to a brick-and-mortar location in Northbridge, and while Baan Baan means “comfort and simple” as well as home-style meals – but it’s all perfect for sharing Let’s hope your date is as hot as some fresh Thai chilies As soon as the temperature starts to rise, we’ve gotta head to S&T for a papaya salad A side of crunchy Thai pancake doesn’t hurt This Northbridge eatery is a long-time favourite particularly for spice fiends who are happy to turn up the heat to 11 their guay teaw num tok soup will warm even the coldest of hearts Another Northbridge favourite, we’ll admit we spent far too long blindly walking past Torung Market before finally seeing the light This low-key spot strikes the balance between Thai classics regional specialties and a contemporary vibe Who wouldn’t want to start a night out here Perhaps there’s something to be said about a doubled-up name – the Thai so nice they had to name it twice? Louder Louder continues the theme with big-impact flavours inspired by both the street food and home cooking of Thailand’s north east Isan region Start with those tantalisingly crispy prawn cakes before diving into a whole fried barramundi or the succulently tender Mussamun beef ribs curry – or dive into one of those comforting hot pots when the weather cools If you’re in the inner north, you’re in luck, because it’s where you’ll find the lion’s share of Perth’s best Thai food. Sa-Lung opened back in 2018 and since then has been steadily gaining a loyal following for their signature combination of street food favourites and family recipes While their duck noodle soup is a pretty unmissable winter warmer they also serve a truly impressive array of vegan options The north end of Barrack Street might not be the most illustrious part of town, but the aromatic, tender temptation of Chuonkin’s slow-cooked lamb shanks would be enough to entice anyone vibrant curries – we know where our next lunch break will be They might not win any awards for ambience, but Wok & Ladle is proof that looks aren’t everything fresh flavours are the name of the game here or the mouth-watering stir fried pork belly pop across the road for a bottle of wine to BYO Full Moon Thai’s intimate dining room is certainly memorable This cosy Walcott Street restaurant is filled to the brim – and we mean floor to ceiling And although the jewel-box interior is remarkable you’ll leave thinking about the meal you just had aromatic massaman beef and green curries will have you feeling like royalty yourself Tucked away down a residential Mount Lawley street, Longlae is an unexpected treasure More adventurous diners will be intrigued by their specials with dishes on offer like pickled bamboo shoot curry with fish eggs While we love things cheap and cheerful, Dusit (now in their new-ish Cottesloe digs) brings a bit more formality to this list – without the price tag Suitable whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch or getting the family together for dinner the menu is packed with crowd pleasers and specialties alike with plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians Another inner north treasure, Khanom Thai makes a big impact despite its low-key appearance particularly when it comes to showstopper dishes like the whole fried snapper is Thai for the desserts which these guys specialise in – with service just as sweet A visit to Long Chim will always turn up the heat The Thai street food mecca has become an institution of sorts since opening its doors in 2015 – and for good reason Bringing a slice of Bangkok to the State Buildings’ basement the menu practically slaps you in the face with flavour Suburban takeaways get a bad rap, but Scents of Siam is proof that your local can hold its own against the big hitters you’ll be able to score a jar of their tamarind dipping sauce or chilli jam to take home Tucked away in Cockburn, you’ll find hidden gem Noot’s we’re not doing our best Pingu impression – but we’d certainly like to toot a horn or two for Noot’s We’re pretty jealous it’s not at the end of our street Opening at the start of 2021, Ma Kin has become a fast favourite for Nedlands locals, serving up street-food inspired Northern Thai fare. We’d like to say we have a go-to, but the entire menu is so tantalising you’ll be wanting to try one of everything. Header Image: Rym Tarng (Sally Hall / Perth is OK!) and even better we love copping one from the independent baker down the street And around Perth these days we seem to be getting more and more great places to grab a super-fresh loaf of bread or a buttery but in short: these loaves are set to become your dinner party We firmly maintain that Perth’s very own superstar baker Tash Brownfield can do no wrong – and her itty-bitty Claisebrook bakery Teeter is definitive proof (pardon the pun) teetering (‘scuse us) the line between traditional viennoserie and contemporary flavours If you eat just one croissant in your life We can’t shut up about North Street Store – not that anyone really needs telling at this point In spite of a few vocal locals at the start of their Cott tenure baking some of the best loaves in town from their ever-expanding empire And while we’ve waxed lyrical about the cinnamon buns the impressive fern-like fougasse is the absolute perfect bread to share with mates in the sunshine O’Connor (Big Loaf Factory Bakery)2/390 South Terrace South Fremantle (Little Loaf Lunch Bar)Victoria House We were pretty jazzed about Miller + Baker’s opening that snuck in at the end of 2019 and our excitement hasn’t really abated since then Friendly neighbourhood vibes complement their artisanal approach you’ve got to be pretty committed to quality Small, family-run bakery Grain may have only opened at the start of 2021 but in the few years since its become a huge hit around its Lathlain location – and a large part of that is due to it being steeped in owners the Pallot family’s history The bakery uses decades-old family recipes and produce some of the best sourdough going around Perth at the moment Beware their irresistible pastry treats though It should come as no surprise that Goods would make its way onto this list. Arguably our current obsession, the new spot has been cooked up by the crew at Modus – it serves as the central bakery for the group’s three other cafes as well as a stellar destination of its own restrained retro fit out completes the vibe Make sure to grab a homemade chutney for the road South Freo (and now also North Freo!) faves Wild Bakery are all about funky fermentation which is not only delicious but can also be beneficial for those with sensitive tums An absolute favourite for a Saturday afternoon lunch after stopping by the Subi Farmer’s Market – a few slices of Wild’s quinoa loaf with some fresh cultured butter Baked in a dedicated gluten-free environment, Strange Grains is the answer to a coeliac’s prayers All their loaves are hand-made by skilled bakers corn or sugar – not to mention all the other treats they have available GF friends, you thought we’d only give you one option?

Situated in the quirky, white-rendered space that once housed the iconic Juicy Beetroot, Aunty Lucy’s Cakery is the brainchild of baker Lucy Cosgriff who has earned legions of fans from her long-running stall at the Fremantle Farmers Market under the moniker The Well-Rested Baker Cosgriff’s offerings are inspired by a combination of nostalgic family recipes: you can expect to find a welcoming array of towering sponges filled with lemon curd roasted strawberries or pillowy whipped cream the cakery’s robust selection of classic rotations include a gluten free Tucked away behind the synagogue in Menora are some of the most legit bagels you’ll find in Perth.

Originally part of the late coffee pioneer Craig Muzeroll’s Antz Inya Pantz empire the shop was taken over by the Kenworthys in 2019 and rebranded as Venn in 2021 While the new shop featured a slicker look than the homey the Kenworthys retained the bulk bean retail offering of Antz (Venn is one of the few cafes that sells coffee beans that it roasts themselves in bulk; customers are invited to bring their own containers to further reduce waste and packaging) They also kept the bagel focus but expanded the offering to include more toppings and house-made schmears Both the bulk coffee and bagels will underpin the Bicton offering “We’re really excited to be coming to Bicton Central,” says Matt who swapped a career in mortgage broking to operate his cafe “The landlord has had a big focus on getting in high-quality makers that take a lot of pride in their products whether it’s the bread at Hunter or the cooking at Rym Tarng There’s a real focus on making this a destination.” the new addition to the family will be smaller and have space for about 40 guests both inside and out (Most of the seats will be outdoors.)

The attack happened near the cliffs at Blackwall Reach Link copiedShareShare articleA man has been attacked by a bull shark in Perth's Swan River at Point Walter Reserve in the suburb of Bicton The attack happened around 8:00am near Blackwall Reach a limestone cliff running along the river that is popular with swimmers The man aged in his 50s was bitten on the leg by a 2-3 metre bull shark He was pulled from the water by witnesses including two kayakers who tried to stem his bleeding and put him on a paddleboard to move him to shore The man was taken by ambulance to Royal Perth Hospital with what WA Police said were serious injuries to his leg The man was pulled from the water and taken to shore before receiving medical treatment The full severity of the man's injuries is not yet known but he was taken to hospital under "priority one" conditions Bull sharks are present in the Swan River but are very rarely involved in attacks Police are urging swimmers to stay out of the water near Point Walter Two kayakers who helped move the man out of the water and up to the road described the scene as traumatic Peter Towndrow and Kieron Hayter were paddling along the riverbank when they saw two swimmers in front of them Police are advising people in the area at Point Walter Reserve to stay out of the water "One of them yelled out that there had been a shark attack which was pretty surprising," Mr Towndrow said "We paddled over and sure enough one guy had been bitten quite badly on the thigh and he was sort of wallowing around in the water "Keiron and I both jumped off the kayaks and obviously went to his aid and we tried to prevent further bleeding by applying pressure to the wound Kieron took his top off and wrapped it around the wound." The men put the victim onto a paddleboard and moved him down the river until they could carry him up to the road Did you know we offer a local version of the ABC News homepage (Hint: You'll have to go back to the home page to do this) "We were trying to keep him calm and we eventually got him on to the paddleboard," Mr Towndrow said. "We had around six or seven people helping with the paddleboard and managed to get him up to the roadway… the ambulance probably turned up five or six minutes later. "He was conscious at the time that he went into the ambulance. "It's a pretty big bite, probably around 30 centimetres across the top of his thigh. "It's a pretty traumatic thing … we were trying to keep him calm and we were trying not to panic ourselves, because this is not something you expect to see. Mr Hayter said he swam or kayaked nearly every day on the river. "I've heard there's bull sharks in the river but I've never seen any," he said. David Davenport was standing on his deck when he heard shouting and splashing on the river. Mr Davenport said he thought the men had jumped off the back of a boat, before he saw blood in the water. "After a while the splashing stopped and they started swimming to shore and I could see the trail of blood coming out of the one guy," he said. "I called my son, Andrew, and told him to come down here and I phoned the ambulance as they were swimming to shore. This stretch of the river is also a popular deep water soloing spot for rock climbers. (Supplied: Andrew Close) Mr Davenport said the two kayakers helped save the victim's life. "The amount of blood I saw coming out of him was quite astounding," he said. "When I eventually came down [to the river] there was virtually no blood, so they had managed to stem the blood completely. "You have to take your hat off to those guys, they did an incredible job." WA Premier Mark McGowan said he understood it was "quite a serious bite". "A man in his 50s was swimming in the river," Mr McGowan said. "He's been bitten on the leg by a bull shark. "Some kayakers I understand rescued the man, and I'd like to thank them for that and I wish the man all the very best in [his] recovery." Cliff jumping is a popular pastime at Blackwall Reach. (ABC News: Lucie Bell) Mr McGowan said it was a "very, very surprising event". "The last time someone was killed by a bull shark in the river was 100 years ago, so this is unexpected and surprising," he said. The last time a fatal attack was recorded in the Swan River was in 1923 when a 13-year-old boy died from a bite to his thigh. WA Opposition Leader Zak Kirkup said more needed to be done to keep people safe in the water. "Obviously, (I am) very concerned about shark attack in the river," Mr Kikrup said. "That's very tragic and very scary. We want to see more research and development, more tagging, and we want to make sure we keep West Australians safe in the water." Shark expert Adrian Gleiss, from the Harry Butler Institute at Murdoch University, said the serious attack was "a bit of a freak accident". "It's a tragic event but actually it's a very, very unusual event," he said. Dr Gleiss said bull sharks tended to live in waters close to humans, so they were more likely to come into contact with people than other sharks. "All large sharks pose a danger to humans and around the world there have been more incidents with bull sharks rather than other species, because they tend to live quite close to coasts," he said. Shark expert Adrian Gleiss says the Swan and Canning rivers are used by bull sharks as nurseries. (Supplied: Adrian Gleiss) But he said it was unusual for a bull shark of that size to come into the Swan River and they had proved difficult to tag. He said the Swan and Canning rivers were nurseries for bull shark pups, although there were "relatively few" there at any one time. These pups, usually between 80 centimetres and 1.3 metres long, live in the river and travelled regularly between West Swan and Point Walter, where the attack occurred. "Those bigger individuals, we have no idea when they come or anything," Dr Gleiss said. "We think it's got to do with pupping and they should pup around this time of year when the water is really starting to warm up, so from that point of view it really makes sense that that could be a pregnant female or one that has recently given birth." Mr McGowan said he would receive a full report from the Department of Fisheries in the coming days. "About this event and what can be done about these sorts of issues," he said. The Premier said while WA had shark tagging programs in the ocean, the programs did not extend to the river "because it's a different species of shark and we haven't had an attack in 50 years". "Fisheries has cleared the water and obviously they are on the lookout in that area. But sharks migrate, they move around … it's very difficult to predict or prevent," he said.

"So far, more than 70 assets from Albany to Broome have been transformed into vibrant works of art that remind us how water plays an important role in our lives every day. "It's great to see the City of Melville continuing to invest in the amenity of Bicton foreshore, and this is a striking artwork that can be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. "Best of all, having local school children involved in the project helps them learn about lifelong waterwise behaviours that they can share with their families. "The theme of National Water Week is 'united by water', and this incredible artwork shows how the river and the land unite." "I'm immensely impressed by the artistic talent of Bicton Primary School students who helped create such a vibrant and colourful artwork for our whole community to enjoy. "With summer just around the corner, I know local families and river users will love seeing this splash of colour on this local Bicton landmark. "Here in Bicton, we're so lucky to live along or nearby the Swan River and I have no doubt the artwork by Blake and the local students will be admired by many for years to come."

In 2020, she married event rider Jesse Campbell, who had previously represented New Zealand at the Tokyo Olympics. A statement from Bicton International Horse Trials read: 'It is with deepest regret that we announce that Georgie Campbell (GBR) suffered a fatal accident whilst competing at the Bicton International Horse Trials in Devon, England on Sunday 26 May 2024. 'Medical professionals attended immediately following her fall at fence 5b however, unfortunately, she could not be saved. 'The horse, Global Quest, was assessed by the on-site vets and walked back to the stable and is uninjured. 'To respect the family's privacy at this extremely difficult and sad time, no further details will be shared.' The Bicton Horse Trials took place at the Bicton Arena in Devon between Thursday, May 23 and Sunday, May 26. A statement was released earlier today announcing that Campbell and Global Quest had fallen on the course and that there would be a delay of approximately one hour. The CCI4*-S event was subsequently abandoned following the news that Campbell had suffered a fatal fall. Campbell, who originally hails from Kent, was shortlisted for the British Junior Team before going on to make her five-star debut in 2009. She had also made several Nations Cup appearances with Team GB. She was only two-years-old when she was taught to ride by her mother Debbie, a former GB endurance rider, in Kent. Earlier in May, Campbell and Global Quest had finished third in the CCI3*-S at Osberton International Horse Trials. Global Quest is an 11-year-old horse who has competed with Campbell for several years. The horse had moved to four-star level in 2022, with the pair winning the CCI4*-L at Lignieres in France the same year. Georgie had competed at five-star on other horses, completing both Badminton Horse Trials and Burghley Horse Trials. Tributes to the rider poured in on social media, reading 'Rest easy Georgie, you'll be greatly missed'. Another read: 'Rest in peace one of the best riders.' One touching tribute read: 'RIP Georgie, a remarkable rider with so much passion for the sport. She will be missed.' 'Rest in peace, thinking of and sending love to all involved,' said another. dies after suffering fallCommenting on this article has endedNewest{{#isModerationStatus}}{{moderationStatus}}
