I’m more than 50 metres away from Lisa Millar but her smile is clearly visible even at this distance. She’s clocked me on my approach.
It’s a bright winter morning and we’re setting off on one her favourite walks towards the cold and flat Sandridge beach in Port Melbourne. A Queensland native, Millar arrived in the city at the end of 2019 to start her six-year stint co-hosting News Breakfast on the ABC. She says the walk became a “lifeline” when she was living alone during lockdowns.
