MEL'S MUST-DO MOMENTS

IMG_9715 2.heic

“What have been your all-time favourite stories to film?”

It’s a question I’m asked constantly - by producers, viewers, and even seatmates at 30,000 feet - the kind of conversation that often sparks lasting connections.

 

While I’m always flattered by the interest (and deeply grateful for the support), I thought it was time to bring a selection of my most memorable stories - so far - together in one place.

This is a personal curation of the moments that still stay with me - the ones that surprised me, moved me, made me laugh, or had me say, “I’m so glad I did that.”

Whether filmed for Sydney Weekender, Weekender TV, or discovered during recent travels across the globe, these experiences stood out - not just for where they took place, but for how they made us feel, and the people we met along the way.

From alpine swims above the clouds and landmark performances to Michelin-star dining, extraordinary eco accommodation, and breathtaking, iconic destinations - each story reflects the kind of experience that leaves a lasting impression. Not just visually stunning, but energising, inspiring, and unforgettable.

What makes so many of them truly extraordinary are the people - behind the scenes and in front of the camera - passionate chefs and visionaries, artisans and adventurers, cultural leaders and creative minds, each adding depth, purpose, and heart.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope these curated stories spark new ideas, unlock a sense of possibility, and encourage you to say yes - to something bold, something joyful, or something you’ve always dreamed of doing. And to enjoy every second along the way.
