Under unfortunate circumstances Amelia could not make it to Wollongong. I ended up being the only TOTM representative-it was scary! We flew out of Geelong,were collected from Sydney Airport by Penny Tribe from the Fred Hollows Foundation and she took us to the train station. I really enjoyed meeting her. We then took the train to Wollongong.
We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Ibis. The morning after we arrived, we jumped in a hire car and went over to the WIN TV studios. Once we got there, everyone was very nice. They helped me whenever I needed help. We did not realise that Ricki Lee Coulter ( a famous Australian singer who was on Australi
an Idol) was going to be on the same show that day.
an Idol) was going to be on the same show that day.I got a bit nervous when I was about to go on the "Susie" show, but then I was fine. Susie was really nice and I felt like I was just having a normal conversation with her.
After we had spent the day at WIN, I was given a lovely bunch of flowers & we got picked up in a limo and driven back to Sydney Airport!
It was an awesome experience and got a lot of publicity for TOTM!
