For more than two weeks in Australia, 198 Harpo staffers worked 24/7 to create an unforgettable experience for 302 Ultimate Viewers. The team traveled 13,190 miles, shot 700 hours of tape and engaged more than 20,000 Australians.

The final night in Australia, Oprah thanks her staff at a party in Sydney. "I have never been prouder in my life of myself and my team, and I am grateful to every one of you for the sacrifice, for the heart, for the skill, for the dedication, for the never taking no for an answer," she says. "You are the best."

The trip is an experience Oprah herself will never forget. "It just opened me up to so much. It felt like we were embraced with the love of the people of that country," Oprah says. "That will live with me forever."
