After travelling the world, the cheeky cowgirl is ready for her biggest adventure

Mel Wilburn 'Yeeha! I'm having a baby!'

Looking out across the paddock on the property where she lives in Wangaratta, northern Victoria, contract musterer Mel Wilburn summons her tribe of six dogs.

Here girls, she yells.

As they come bounding and barking into sight, she blurts out with her trademark chuckle, “There they all are. I could only bloody see four of them!

Everybody knows Mel, 32, and her identical twin sister Stacey, aka Stack, from the hit show Travel Guides. The lovable, laugh-a-minute, sweary country cowgirl duo have charmed their way into our hearts and entertained viewers with their round-the-world adventures. But Mel is about to take on a different challenge.

“I'm having a baby, she tells Woman's Day exclusively. A clearly over-the-moon Mel and her 32-year-old farmer and stock agent partner, Tim Donald, couldn't be happier, but admit the pregnancy took them both by surprise.

It was certainly not planned, Mel laughs. “I was feeling sick one night in July and decided to take a pregnancy test and when it was positive, I absolutely sh*t meself and burst into tears!

I was eight weeks gone and panicked as the reality kicked in of how underprepared we were for a baby. All our utes and trucks are two-seaters, we're midway through home renos and I've never even held a newborn in my life!
