I call Melbourne home but don’t tend to be there very often, work takes me to remote Outback Australia, Antarctica and Saudi Arabia.

At home I am mother to four fur children, including the inspirational Ollie Bobo the Maltese X who faces every day with joy and excitement even though he is scared of everything.

Some of my favourite moments have occurred in the oddest of situations; having a tantrum in Hong Kong airport, wrestling camera phones off men in Saudi Arabia, drinking champagne on roof top bars in Dubai, HCMC or any city in the world really or lying in penguin poo and holding my breath as Emperor penguins walk towards me in Antarctica.  These are the experiences that make me pinch myself to see if I am dreaming or awake.
