Sara West, best known to Neighbours fans as Cara Varga-Murphy, joins us in this episode of Bin Night with Tak & Matty.

Sara opens up about her journey from being a “wayward kid” whose mum sent her to drama school to keep her out of trouble… to becoming an award-winning filmmaker and Logie nominee.

We talk about:

• How university changed her life and gave her the discipline she needed

• Winning an award for her debut feature film

• The first acting job that required her to shave her head – and how it temporarily made her “unemployable”

• Landing the role of Liza Minnelli

• Being nominated for a Logie (against Hannah Monson!)

• Joining Neighbours at a personal crossroads

• The responsibility and honour of representing the LGBTQIA+ community on Ramsay Street

• The impact Neighbours has had on the Australian TV industry and the hole it leaves behind

And yes… Matt gets attacked by a wild animal. Again.
