She was a keen dancer before becoming a photographer. She loved heavy metal and rock music, as well as the occasional farming song,’ they said. ‘She loved the freedom of having a car, but her passion was motorcycles, and she used to go for rides on her 125 looking for photo opportunities, which would normally include bikes or animals, often being goats. ‘Amelia left an impression with everyone she met. She struggled with the school environment but left with fantastic grades. She really blossomed around adults in the workplace environment with her sharp mind and wit.’ Ms Miller’s male passenger died at the scene and has not been publicly identified.
