US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey surprised 300 members of her audience    by saying she would send them on a trip to Australia in December.Winfrey will also film an episode   of her show at the Sydney "Oprah" House. The Australian government said it was spending AUS$  3 million to help bring The Oprah Winfrey Show to the country. Tourism Minister   Martin Ferguson insisted it was money well spent as it would put Australia in the spotlight,with the popular TV show watched by 40 million Americans and screened in 145 countries."Oprah is a famous name and she has the power to improve Australia's image as an important tourist country," he said in a statement. Winfrey made the announcement on Monday.After telling the audience that she might take them on a trip to New York,Philadelphia or Los Angeles,she said  her  last  season  would  provide  something "bigger". "I started to think about where I would most want to go.Maybe I should take all of you with me to the other side of the world.We're going to Australia!"she said. Several episodes will be filmed during the trip,which had been planned for almost a year and will take in beaches,Sydney Harbour and so on.It marks the first time that the show will be filmed with its US audience outside North America.The Australian trip follows a similar act in 2004 when Winfrey gave a car to each member of her audience. Winfrey is to start her own television channel  ,the Oprah Winfrey Network,in 2011,at the age of her 57. What might be the best title for the text?
