Sarah Macdonald grew Up in Sydney and studied psychology at university. Rejecting the idea of ever practising as a shrink, she travelled for a year hoping that a few months in India at the end of the journey would give her a vision of her destiny. It didn't, although a soothsayer predicted that she would return.
After completing a traineeship at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Sarah worked for Triple J, Australia's most influential music and youth affairs radio station, as their political correspondent in Canberra. Along with some work on television productions such as Recovery, Race Around the Word and Two Shot, Sarah presented Triple J's Art Show and was the voice of the Morning Show until the end of the century when she left tojoin her partner Jonathan Harley in India. And then the true adventure began. Sarah is now a presenter on Radio National and lives in Sydney.
