Four Australians, including two young children, are dead and five are missing after the shocking earthquake and Pacific tsunami across Samoa.
The family of holidaying Ballarat school teacher Vivien Hodgins said they believed she died in the flood of water.
Ms Hodgins, 55, sent a text message from a Samoan beach to her daughters soon after the earthquake, which 20 minutes later spark the tidal waves, the Herald Sun reports.
She described the scene as "spooky". Her travel partner, Claire Rowlands, survives and was recovering last night in hospital.
