Parents Cindy Braddock, 25, and Jake Day, 28, died when the Land Rover Discovery overturned and crashed on the Corrigin-Kondinin road, but no wreckage was found shortly before noon on December 27.

"When they found [the five-year-old girl] she made a comment saying 'Nanny will look after us now,'" Ms Wallace said.

"She's amazing, her brother wouldn't be here without her and she loves her nanny."
