In 2005, Sandra spoke with Douglas Wood in TEN's exclusive, world-first interview with the Australian hostage freed from his kidnappers in Iraq.    

In 1997 Sandra was holidaying in Thredbo when one of Australia’s worst natural disasters struck - the Thredbo Landslide.  This horrific piece of news was delivered professionally and under difficult conditions and covered the emotional rescue of Stuart Diver.  

She has subsequently covered the anniversary commemorations of both the Bali Bombings and September 11 tragedies.
