Sully attended Brisbane State High School, graduating in 1978. [3]
Life and career
Sully was the first Australian television journalist to cover news of the 11 September terrorist attacks.[4] She was on air when the first attack occurred and, shortly afterwards, began presenting live breaking coverage.[5]
She also hosted Cool Aid Australia's National Carbon Test.[6]
She was the first woman to co-host the broadcast of the Melbourne Cup carnival and did so for seven years.[7]
In June 2013, Sully and a fellow Channel Ten journalist, Matt Doran, headed a new police crime program on Monday nights called Wanted, where she also did interviews with victims' loved ones to appeal for the public to help solve the case by calling Crimestoppers.
As of 2018, Sully presents 10 News First Sydney.[8] Sully presented Ten Eyewitness News Brisbane in the 1990s, where she originally started out, before presenting Ten's flagship Sydney 5:00 pm weeknight bulletin.[9]
Since September 2020, Sully has also presented the Queensland bulletin, produced from Sydney, as part of a shake-up to the 10 News First brand.[10]
