‘Around the Grounds’ with Mark Ferguson. Sydney news anchor, esteemed journalist, family man and part-time farmer who appears to have found the elixir of life (or at least an amazing age-defying face cream)

A cracking ‘Around the Grounds’ guest for you and your earlobes today, the magnificent Mark ‘Fergo’ Ferguson. An exceptional journalist, foreign correspondent and newsreader with 36 years’ experience (I asked to see his driver’s license as he doesn’t look old enough), Mark began his career in his hometown of Tamworth in north-west New South Wales, where he scored a job as a cadet journalist at local television station NEN-9 in 1984. His rounds covered everything from cattle prices to country music… Fast forward a few decades reporting from around the world on some of the biggest news stories you will now find Mark on Channel 7 weeknights at 6pm as the network’s news anchor.

I can’t see the word ‘anchor’ without thinking of Ron Burgundy, Mark is nothing like Ron I hasten to add, although off camera Mark is actually a very funny man.

When he isn’t at the new helm you will find this amazing family man down on his farm counting his sheep… you can take the boy out of Tamworth.

I loved catching up with my old mate Fergo and hearing parts of his story I didn’t know – I also think Mark is one of only a few of my pod guests who has actually been withing a 5m radius of their Hall Pass but I’ll let Fergo tell that story… Enjoy!
