Wow! Can you believe it. Oprah's been in Australia for only a few days and I can't believe the hysteria. She leads every news bulletin either at Uluru (the biggest rock in the world) in central Austalia or climbing the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Oprah hasn't even filmed a show here yet and the whole country has gone Oprah crazy. People are lining the streets for hours just to get a fleeting glimpse of the lady.
Personally I have never watched a complete Oprah show so for me the thought of her visit was a non event. I like many others thought our government throwing in a few million to support her road show was a bit over the top. How wrong was I! The publicity for Australia is something no amount of money could buy.
I have watched visits by the Queen, the Pope and even The Beatles and the mainstream support for Oprah leaves the rest in her wake.
A quick question to our US forum people. How has the coverage been in the US and do you think it will reap lots of dollars from US tourists?
Cheers
