An Australian woman released from a jail on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali after serving more than 13 years for drug smuggling arrived in Australia on Thursday.

Renae Lawrence, one of nine Australians who were caught trying to smuggle 8.3 kilograms of heroin from Bali to Australia in 2005, was deported to her home country after being released from prison. 

Lawrence, 41, arrived at Brisbane airport, where she was met by local reporters and camera crews as well as her mother and step-brother.

"We don't want to comment. We've got nothing to say. Please, just leave us," her mother, Beverley Waterman, told reporters.

Waterman later told the Australian Associated Press that her daughter's return was "very overwhelming."

In her hometown of Newcastle, Lawrence is facing two arrest warrants, including one for a 2005 high-speed car chase.

She is the first member of the so-called Bali Nine to be released from prison. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison but received a series of reductions for good behaviour.

The two leaders of the "Bali Nine," Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, were executed in 2015 after being on death row for 10 years, while five others are serving life sentences.

The other member, Tan Duc Thanh, died of stomach cancer in May.
