Kathleen Folbigg plans to binge-watch TV and enjoy a T-bone steak as she looks forward to her second night of freedom after 20 years behind bars.
The mother of four will spend the coming days on friend Tracy Chapman's northern NSW property as she comes to grips with how the world has changed over the past two decades.
Folbigg celebrated her release as "a victory for science" in an emotional video message released on Tuesday.
"I'm extremely humbled and extremely grateful for being pardoned and released from prison," she said, thanking her friends and family for their support.
The 55-year-old received an unconditional pardon and was freed from Grafton jail after an inquiry heard new scientific evidence pointed to reasonable doubt about her guilt following her 2003 conviction over the deaths of her four young children.
Folbigg said she had not stopped thinking about them during the years she spent in prison.
"(I) grieve for my children and I miss them and love them terribly," she said.
Ms Chapman said her friend, who had been living in a technology time warp, was "bamboozled" by the iPhone and fascinated by streaming TV.
Folbigg was also finding joy in the small luxuries of everyday life, including touching animal fur and real crockery.
"She spent a lot of time with my dogs and getting to know my animals," Ms Chapman said.
"We've had a lovely morning. We've been out with the horses."
Garlic bread, pizza and Kahlua and Coke were on the menu for Monday night before Ms Folbigg had her first "proper" sleep in 20 years.
Ms Chapman said her friend was overjoyed by her sudden freedom.
"She actually said to me this morning, 'my face muscles hurt from smiling so much'.
"She slept for the first time in a real bed, had a cup of tea in a real crockery cup, real spoons to stir with."
Lawyer Rhanee Rego said the next hurdle for Folbigg's legal team would be to get her convictions quashed in the Court of Criminal Appeal, followed by compensation.
"She not only lost one child, she has lost four and been in jail for 20 years," she said.
Just as Lindy Chamberlain protested her innocence, the former Hunter Valley hospitality worker always denied responsibility for the deaths of her children Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura, who were all under the age of two when they died between 1989 and 1999.
There is the prospect she will join a select few in Australia, including Ms Chamberlain, in being awarded a seven-figure sum following wrongful convictions.
NSW Premier Chris Minns said compensation wasn't for him to determine but he agreed a price could not be placed on two decades in prison.
He said the law was not perfect, however the state's attorney-general had reached the right decision to free Folbigg following the public inquiry.
Folbigg’s former husband has not publicly spoken about the case since her conviction and refused to be involved in the latest inquiry.
Craig Folbigg had not changed his view that Folbigg was guilty, his solicitor Danny Eid said.
