Oprah Winfrey audience taken on holiday

Oprah Winfrey has surprised the audience at the premiere of the 25th and final season of her talk show with an all-expenses-paid trip to Australia.

Three hundred audience members clapped, cried and hugged as Winfrey announced the trip. "I started to think about where would I 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.

Previously, Winfrey has handed out new cars or scholarships to her audience.
