For 20 years, Wendy Moline has been involved in media and public relations with a broad range of experience achieved in writing, editing, public relations and event management. Wendy is particularly skilled in writing effective sponsorship submissions, providing highly successful outcomes for her clients in this area.
As a keen sailing enthusiast, much of Wendy's work has focused around major yachting events which include six Sydney to Hobart Races between 1989 and 2004 as a freelance journalist.

With a love for sailing, perhaps Wendy's most challenging assignment was reporting on the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, where six lives were lost at sea. However, the Sydney to Hobart has also provided Wendy with some incredible hands-on ocean voyage experience, including yacht delivery trips back to Eden and Adelaide after the 1989 and 1992 races.

Working as an Olympic News Service (ONS) Reporter in 1999 for a Sydney 2000 Olympic Sailing test event, Wendy played a key role within a small team ultimately responsible for the entire event's official media communications, previews, reviews, athlete biographies, and other related news articles.
In addition to journalistic responsibilities, her role also involved media liaison with well over 50 accredited journalists and photographers from all over the world; both at the venue press centre, out on Sydney Harbour and two course areas offshore.

Having to interview international athletes from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds for ONS articles and negotiate with scores of international media personnel at the Olympic standard regatta demonstrates Wendy's ability as an effective communicator at all levels.
Such a demonstration had led to gaining similar roles at various 2.4m Paralympic sailing events in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra, including the World Championships in Melbourne in 2000.

Based in Canberra and the nearby Snowy Mountains region for many years, Wendy's media work has also extended onto the ski trails of Thredbo. Back in 1989, Wendy worked as an assistant to the Chief of Press of the Ski World Cup in Thredbo.
This role involved setting up the media centre for the Ski World Cup events and providing media liaison between high profile competitors, numerous international and local sports journalists covering the event.

Apart from sailing and other sporting interests, much of Wendy's recent work has encompassed the lives of war veterans of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Having attended "a very moving Anzac Day dawn service" at the Long Tan Cross near Vung Tau, Vietnam in 2005, Wendy provided freelance coverage of this event.

During her five week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in April 2005, Wendy also covered the 30th Anniversary of Peace celebrations in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon).
Other assignments based around Korean and Vietnam War veterans include the dedication in 2000 of the Australian National Korean War Memorial, the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial in 1992 and the associated military reunions of both dedications' in Canberra.
Wendy's current major project between freelance media assignments is a book titled Journeys, which explores experiences of the "womenfolk of Veterans" from all wars. In order to collect oral histories and stories for Journeys, Wendy joined 300 Veterans and some of their families at a Pandanus Veterans retreat on Cape York Peninsular for ten days, to coincide with Long Tan Day on August 18, 2005. Articles resulting from this magnificent experience were published in The Australian and Cairns Post newspapers.
In 1992, Wendy also covered the reunion of six Victoria Cross winners on Norfolk Island as a freelance journalist and was appointed to the role of official artist for the Australian Army's internal publication, the Army News.
