Renae said the years had been measured by her husband’s shows since becoming a mother, adding that Doctor Doctor was such a ‘special time’ for their family.

‘Dusty [their son] was a baby when you started and [had] some wonderful family holidays visiting you at work,’ she reminisced.

Renae then referred to the scenic picture as their ‘last trip to picturesque Mudgee’.

She ended the caption with: ‘Congrats our Doctor and all the incredible team on a truly successful and wonderful five seasons!’
