A newlywed has died in a freak golf buggy accident on her honeymoon on Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, after it rolled while making a U-turn.
Robbie Morgan and new bride Marina were married at Doltone House in Sydney just 10 days ago surrounded by loved ones.
The couple then headed north to celebrate and while her husband was driving a golf buggy - the only vehicles allowed on the holiday island - it rolled.

The accident was witnessed by other people on holidays who rushed to help Marina, 29.
"There's no indication of alcohol or dangerous driving or anything like that, it's just a tragic accident," Inspector Anthony Cowan from Queensland Police said.
"An off-duty dentist, an off-duty fire officer and the doctor from the island performed CPR for 35 minutes with no success."

Queensland Police are still piecing together exactly how the tragedy unfolded.
"The battery on the buggy went flat, and he's conducted a U-turn to go back and charge it up, and while turning around the buggy has rolled on its side," Cowan added.
The husband was not injured in the accident.
