Backpacker fire tragedy hostel reopens

A hostel where 15 backpackers, including Irish woman Julie O'Keeffe, were killed in a deliberately lit fire reopened in Childers, Australia, today, nearly four years after the deadly inferno.

Late on the night of June 23, 2000, a fire ripped through the Palace Backpackers Hostel killing Julie, six British backpackers, four from Australia, two Dutch, one Japanese and one South Korean.
