LINDY Chamberlain-Creighton says cowardly abuse towards her has gradually subsided since a coronial inquest almost two years ago found that a dingo killed her baby daughter Azaria in 1980.
A royal commission exonerated her of murder in 1988.
But it wasn't until June 2012 that a Northern Territory coroner finally concluded that a dingo was responsible for taking nine-week old Azaria from a camping ground near Uluru - leading to less abuse since then.
"Things gradually change," Ms Chamberlain-Creighton told AAP on Thursday.
"Until that came out categorically in a court, a lot of people felt like I still wasn't exonerated."
For three decades, however, she was subjected to anonymous letters and cowards uttering abuse near escalators.
"They say something as they walk past so it doesn't look like they're doing it," she said.
"All you can do is feel sorry for them - they have nothing better in life to do than try and make people feel as miserable as they obviously are."
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton is taking part on Friday in the Living the Dream forum on the Gold Coast organised by motivational speaker and former Hillsong pastor Pat Mesiti, while Olympic swimming great Kieren Perkins will attend on Saturday night.
She hasn't been a sufferer of depression, despite being jailed in Darwin from 1982 to 1986, adding her strong Christian faith helped her.
"When you know the truth, when God knows the truth, you leave that up to him," she said.
"With a lot of people that carry depression, it's anger over ... somebody didn't do something you expected them to do.
"Therefore you take it personally and you turn it into a grudge and it becomes all about you on what wasn't done right."
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton also feels sorry for Marshall Perron, the former Northern Territory chief minister, who maintains she is guilty despite authorising her release when he was attorney-general.
"I sleep perfectly well at night. I also happen to know that Marshall Perron cried when one of his friends told him that he'd always been a fair man and he didn't think he was being fair anymore," she said.
"That tells me he's carrying his own pain."
