"It's been an intense shoot, the fastest pace with the most chilled of crews," she said. "I've fallen in love with Melbourne's friendly people, its urban architecture, endless art and graffiti, incredible food, and welcoming vibe.
"This job was made all the better by the opportunity it gave to catch up with family we haven't seen for many years."
