Oprah's Little Australian Adventure

Shrimps on the Barbie

"We had the great Australian chef Curtis Stone prepare a barbecue on a pristine white stretch of beach for the whole group. Oprah made a spectacular rock-star entrance via helicopter. When they saw her chopper coming through the clouds, the viewers were crying and laughing at the same time. I was watching it all from another helicopter, with Gayle, who was squeezing my hand for dear life." —Jill Van Lokeren
