Charmaine Dragun was young, beautiful, in love, and seemingly led the glamorous life of a commercial TV network newsreader.

She presented the hour-long Perth evening news with Tim Webster from the Channel 10 studios in Sydney.
Then, on the afternoon of Friday November 2, 2007, Charmaine committed suicide at the notorious Sydney clifftop The Gap after a decade-long struggle with depression. She was 29.
Sydney locals spotted her sitting at The Gap as just a "figure in the distance" beyond a lookout barrier. She had been due to read Channel 10's Perth news just hours later.
Australian Story will be repeated on ABC2 - Tuesday, April 29 at 8:00pm
