We are delighted to announce that revered Australian media personality Edwina Bartholomew will host the 12th annual Australian Drinks Awards on July 18, 2024, at the Hilton Sydney.
With an illustrious career spanning over 13 years in television and radio news, Edwina is a familiar, friendly face to audiences across Australia. A reporter and presenter on Australia's number one breakfast program, Sunrise, Edwina has earned widespread recognition for her engaging and informative news pieces.
Her work has taken her to Peru, Canada, America, Mexico, Dubai, Spain, East Timor, the Solomon Islands, New Zealand – and right around Australia on a continuous 40,000km Lap of the Map. She has skydived, bungee-jumped and abseiled off a 33-storey building all LIVE on air.
As a reporter with 2GB and Seven News, Edwina has also covered major news events including the Christchurch earthquake, Brisbane floods and Vanuatu cyclone.
Edwina has a journalism degree from Charles Sturt University and a Master of International Relations at Sydney University. She is also an ambassador for the Nelune Foundation and Y House in Melbourne.
We can't wait to see Edwina bring her charming charisma and infectious energy to the stage!
