Sunrise for Anzacs in New Caledonia

Tracey travelled with the TV3 Sunrise crew headed by news reporter Ali Ikram to New Caledonia for a TV3 Anzac Day feature. Hundreds of New Zealand servicemen lost their lives in the region and were laid to rest in the immaculate and peaceful surrounds of the beautiful Bourail cemetery. The long days of filming were rewarded with great French hospitality in the evenings making the visit memorable in many ways.

Tasmania Media Famil

With Lou firmly grounded in the final month of pregnancy and Trace at full steam, travel writer and blogger extraordinaire, Megan Singleton picked up the reins and gallavanted off to the wilds of Tasmania with a group of great editors - given the extremely luxurious nature of the trip there was not too much 'wild' about it - except that is for the unseasonal weather experienced by  Anne Newbery - Herald on Sunday, Fiona Rotherham - Unlimited Magazine and Megan Singleton on their sleety cycle descent from Hobart's Mt Wellington. Check out what the rest of the group were up to on Megan's blog at tripstar.co.nz. Reports were that a devilishly good time was had by all and some great stories put out there to inspire New Zealanders to hoof on over there....you will be very pleasantly surprised!
