Brianna Parkins: 'I have my feelings about the Rose of Tralee, but I'd be heartbroken if it were to disappear'
""Winter has officially landed in Sydney. Our summer has finally ended, with a bang. I'm overlooking the harbour now, and the waves! We don't really get autumn or spring. It lurches from one extreme season to another. You'd miss the mild, soft days.""
""I moved back to Sydney, where I grew up - as part of an Irish emigrant community - in summer 2024, to start a job as a television reporter with ABC News.""

Parkins has recently announced her new role at Irish Independent, where she will write a weekly column. She describes the seasonal changes in Sydney, contrasting them with the mild Irish climate.
