Ask any Aussie and they’ll tell you Bridie Carter is one of the our TV industry’s most recognisable faces.
As the lead actress on long-running drama McLeod’s Daughters, the iconic show has certainly given Bridie a place in Australia’s entertainment hall of fame.
But beneath the glitz and glam of TV is an incredibly grounded, family-orientated woman.
The 49-year-old has been married to her husband, Michael Wilson, for more than 15 years, with the pair sharing two sons, Tobias and Otis.
While Bridie keeps her personal life relatively under wraps, she has been known to share a few candid snaps from some of her special moments with her boys.
