Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on Julian Assange's return to Australia following prison release - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

It's been confirmed Julian Assange will return to Australia after being released from prison. 

The Wikileaks founder was charged with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information - and spent seven years in Ecuador's London Embassy, and five in a British prison.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Assange is set to return to Australia by the end of the week - and there's plenty of excitement for his arrival.
