Sarah Murdoch at Australia Premiere

Sarah Murdoch, the new host of Australia’s Next Top Model attended the Australian premiere of the epic blockbuster film Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman on November 18. Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the film takes place the bombing of Darwin in Australia during World War II.

Sarah has some big plans for AusNTM, including opening up the competition to plus-sized models. The fifth cycle is set to air in early summer 2009.

I think Sarah’s going to make a decent host. I liked Jodhi, she was great for training and one-on-one with the girls, but she was boring and didn’t have much presence at panel.
