She recently arranged a private-air safari in rarely-visited parts of the Northern Territory and Western Australia, in which Aboriginal storytellers taught the group of eight visitors about the complex spiritual depth of Indigenous Australia. "A trip like this requires special permissions," she said. "Imagine meeting with Indigenous custodians, elders, and artists while hearing 80,000 year-old dreaming stories and learning about ancient history and culture." The trip also included wildlife viewing in magnificent natural reserves, from birds to crocodiles. The clients she works with gravitate toward immersive experiences and like to balance daily adventure with nightly pampering at top-tier resorts. Throughout her region of expertise, Mercien-Ferol is excited about recent hotel openings including the Langham, Gold Coast, The Tasman in Hobart, Tasmania, and the Crown Tower in Sydney.
