Oprah in Australia

The Oprah Winfrey Show is currently filming in Queensland, Australia, home of the Great Barrier Reef, with a group of her hand-picked audience. On the first stop of her “Down Under” tour which began on the Great Barrier Reef’s Hamilton Island, she cuddled with Elvis the koala and went to a beach party on Whitehaven Beach with The Ten Tenors and celebrity chef Curtis Stone.

Set amidst pristine surroundings, Hamilton Island offers a multitude of activities and luxurious accommodation options to suit the most discerning traveler. Visitors can choose from a plethora of destination activities with sea-kayaking, game fishing, scenic helicopter flights and ‘Breakfast with the Koalas’ at the Koala Gallery. Guests who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere can take advantage of one of the gorgeous pools or simply relax on brilliant white silica sand beaches.
