Robson was born in Los Angeles, California, in the United States,[1] but as a child she travelled around the world due to her father's work, spending most of her time between Australia and Britain.
Over the next few years, Robson worked in numerous positions, including being an assistant to photojournalists and a copywriter for an advertising agency.
Robson went to the United States in 1995 but shortly returned to Australia to present Our Victoria, a travel show for the Victorian market.
Figures from the ratings research firm OzTAM indicate that she had a nightly audience of more than one million people across the three capital cities.
Later in the year, Seven executives were reported in the press saying that Robson would be given her own "Oprah Winfrey" style program where she would have an "opportunity to show off the caring side of her personality".
[5] In September 2009, Robson appeared as a presenter with Larry Emdur on Seven's The Morning Show, standing in for Kylie Gillies, who was taking a week off.
[11] In September 2006, Robson and her crew were detained in Indonesia after arriving in the country with tourist visas to film a story on a boy they believed was in danger of being killed by cannibals.
In August 2010, Robson appeared in a promotion for pay-TV screenings of The Chaser's War on Everything, her former critics, in the form of a mock interview.
