# POPULAR AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR 2021 DUO JOIN FORCES AND TALENT AGENTS

# BREAKOUT STARS GEORGE MLADENOV & CARA ATCHISON NOW MANAGED BY MAX MARKSON

# FURTHER TV APPEARANCES ALREADY UNDERWAY – STAY TUNED!

The breakout stars of Channel 10’s Australian Survivor 2021 – King George of Bankstown George Mladenov and The Duchess of Double Bay and EMPATH Cara Atchison – have joined Markson Sparks to be managed by celebrity publicist Max Markson. The popular duo had a close friendship throughout the series, and it remains in place to this day, with interest in both personalities strong since the series wrapped.

TO INTERVIEW GEORGE OR CARA email max@marksonsparks.com or call Max 0412 501 601 or email marta@marksonsparks.com or call Marta 0409 291 785.

Cara Atchison became known on the highly rated show for her empath abilities, astounding teammates with her accuracy in sensing the internal struggles of some of the cast, while George - a political operative - was lauded as one of Survivors’ best ever strategic players. Both have since been inundated with media and TV network opportunities since their appearance on the show.

Max Markson said Markson Sparks was excited to be working with Cara and George and added he was delighted that the pair have chosen to be represented by the same publicity agency.

“Both George and Cara impressed viewers everywhere during Australian Survivor 2021 – having come runner-up and in fourth place, respectively. I can see bright things in their future, with another two TV shows already in place for George this year,” he confirmed, adding that the two will also be undertaking opportunities together going forward.

Remote and rugged, brutal and beautiful. Middle-of-nowhere town Cloncurry has to be one of Australia’s most polarising places.

You either love or loathe its red dust and searing-hot summer days, its isolation, and winding outback highways.

The north-west Queensland town is a 90-minute drive from Mount Isa, which is a two-hour flight, or a 2000-kilometre drive, from Brisbane. But locals say the Curry, as it’s affectionately called, is worth it.


The beauty of the Cloncurry River, named by ill-fated explorer Robert Burke, is something they all adore. Teamed with its history as the birthplace of the Royal Flying Doctor Service and a bursting-at-the-seams events calendar, there’s a lot Cloncurry locals have to be proud of.

And that’s not including their mammoth effort to attract the attention of an international reality television show. Cloncurry became the backdrop for the latest series of Survivor, with the 2021 Brains v Brawn edition showing off its off-the-beaten-track beauty to an average national audience of 1.08 million viewers for each of its 24 episodes.



When COVID restrictions nixed Survivor’s more luxurious locations of Fiji and Samoa, Cloncurry edged out four other regional contenders to win the coveted gig.

The end result was countless shots of the town’s arid plains, rocky outcrops and pretty waterholes. Plus there was the estimated $14.6 million added to the Queensland economy and the extra 150 jobs created for crew members.

This touch of Hollywood has given the Curry an extra spring in its step, with the tourist trade expected to surge once international borders reopen to the worldwide flock of avid Survivor fans.


Population: 2719 as of 2016 Census.


One of the first faces you’re sure to see when you walk into the Cloncurry Visitor Information Centre is Gail Wipaki’s. Her passion for the town makes her the perfect person to speak to about all things Cloncurry.

“I love the town, but I’m probably biased because I’m born and bred here – my parents, they were too. So we go back a few years,” she says. “I just love it. I love the way of life, I love the countryside – it’s pretty, it’s rugged, but it’s still beautiful.”
