Where's Wally Sophie?

Sophie is an unremarkable, ordinary girl who just happens to lead a remarkable, extraordinary life.

She loves to travel, and with the aid of her magic walking torch, her dad Kevan and cities that wanted the 2001 Olympics, Sophie takes us through time and space on her fantastic adventures.

These final images come from viewer requests. If you made a request and it's not here, it's because Sophie couldn't get access to a suitable image. In particular, she would have loved to have made it to George Speight's compound in Fiji but it was a bit difficult to organise, and if there's thing that young Sophie's learnt from the SOCOG, it's that near enough is good enough.

She's managed to visit the Queen, her friends the queens at Mardi Gras, and Stonehenge. She's been to New York, Greece, to Washington with Hillary, with our Australian war heroes, to the footy, to Parliament, but she's also found time for her hobbies, music, bush crafts, and sniffing amyl.

Sophie and her torch come out of retirement to lend a hand in the search for survivors of the World Trade Center on September 11.

Sophie meets Lady LibertySophie meets Lady Liberty. Apparently they swapped home-spun tips on how to prevent shoulder cramps.

Sophie goes to Leicester Square, LondonSophie goes to Leicester Square, London. Unfortunately, due to a communications error, she went to Leicester Square in 1816.

Sophie hangs out with SkaseySophie's dad Kevan always taught her that good manners are a social lubricant, so when Christopher Skase asked him to help him walk his malamutes, she was happy to help. It's a little known fact that the torch doubles as an asthma huffer, but it meant that Chris didn't have to worry that the exertion would be too much for him.

Sophie goes to the moon. It's just as well the torch doubles as an oxygen mask, cos our Soph was off to the moon next!
