An Oxford beauty school student faces a potential life sentence after pleading guilty to smuggling more than 10,000 amphetamine tablets into Australia.
Eleanor Kathleen Taylor, 19, will be sentenced in the Western Australia state District Court in the state capital Perth on August 8 after changing the not guilty plea she made on April 7.
She has been in custody since she was arrested on April 2 after landing at Perth International Airport on a flight from London via Amsterdam and Johannesburg.
Taylor appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court via a video link from a women's prison.
Prosecutors said she smuggled drugs - with a street value of 200,000 Australian dollars (£84,200) - into the country hidden in the lining of a suitcase.
The tablets were detected in a routine scan by customs officers.
