BULAHDELAH’S Big4 River Myall Holiday Park was the site of a live cross on the TODAY Show last week.
Presenter Tim Davies battled the cold conditions to give the national weather forecast and sample some of the local tourist attractions.
Having left Sydney the day prior, the Today crew first travelled to Seal Rocks, where they captured drone footage used during the segment.
The Bulahdelah broadcast began at 5:40am at the park’s firepit and concluded at 8am with kayaking in the near freezing Myall River, highlighting the tourism offerings of the lower Mid Coast area.
Mr Davies told NOTA being a roving weather reporter is “never dull”.
“We are somewhere different every day,” he said.
“Every single day we could be in a different state or different country.”
He also enjoys sharing positive and unique stories with his audience.
“We’re lucky we get to tell the good stories of the day each and every morning,” Mr Davies said.
“You know the format of breakfast TV – news, sport and weather.
“By the time they get to us with all the news, and generally bad news in the world, people wake up looking for something a little lighter.
“That’s our opportunity to shine a light on what’s happening somewhere out there.”
After Bulahdelah the team were back in Queensland after visiting Hallidays Point, Yamba and Tweed Heads.
