Two Sydney brothers who were travelling with their parents have died in hospital from injuries sustained in the New Zealand volcano eruption.
Headmaster Scott James said it was a"devastating loss" for the school community describing Matthew as"always enthusiastic about life" and popular among his friends. Adelaide man Gavin Dallow, his 15-year-old stepdaughter Zoe Hosking and Brisbane mother and daughter Julie and Jessica Richards have also been named as dead or presumed dead."Gavin was always one for being fairly articulate on what he did," Brian Dallow said on Wednesday."I'm pretty well sure they weren't fully informed of the danger."EPA/MICHAEL SCHADE
