Christopher Quinn and his girlfriend Kaia's both tragically died in the crash.
A fundraiser has been launched to repatriate the body of County Derry man Christopher Quinn after he tragically died in a car accident in Australia.
Christopher Quinn, who was originally from Bellaghy but had been travelling around the world for the last 14 years died on Sunday 5 December.
Contributions to the campaign will go to Kevin Ball Repatriation Trust, which is helping to alleviate the financial hardship faced by the bereaved family.
The GoFundMe campaign can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/christopher-quinn
Earlier in the week, Christopher's family said they were ‘devastated’ by his passing.
“He was a character, a free spirit and would give the shirt off his back for anyone,” they said.
“Christopher just turned 37 two weeks ago and had left Ireland for Australia 14 years ago like most young ones these days, for a life of sunshine and adventure.
“Although it was hard to keep a track of him at times as he was forever travelling; New Zealand where he also lived for a few years, USA, Thailand, Japan etc."
Christopher is survived by his mum Rosie, his sister Lisa, his four brothers Jodie, Shea, Cahir and Declan and a large Quinn and Doherty family circle.
