The mental health advocate then weighed in on the state of the world, offering her fans a silver lining.
‘The world is pretty crazy right now but there are still many beautiful, perfect things, moments, grabs of nature. Let’s hold on to those.’
She finished off the post: ‘Much love. Much friendship. Many thoughts. Always, Bridie.’
Bridie last appeared on McLeod’s Daughters in 2009.
Looking back at her breakout role, she recalled a rare, behind-the-scenes detail from the infamous ‘silo’ scene on the hit series which put her in danger in real life.
Speaking to Woman’s Day magazine, she recalled the iconic scene that aired in season three, where her character Tess jumped into a silo full of wheat to avoid Dave’s marriage proposal.
Unfortunately, the more Tess struggled, the more she sank into the wheat, with Nick eventually coming to her rescue.
Bridie expressed pride in the series, revealing that the scene posed genuine danger on set.

‘One of the performances that sticks out for me is the wheat silo scene. There was a trapdoor for me underneath, I could have really got stuck,’ she said.
Bridie praised the cast and crew, adding they were at the top of their game.
‘The stakes were so high and everyone just excelled in that moment. So it’s scenes [like that] that make me go I’m lucky to be on that show.’
McLeod’s Daughters, which followed the lives of five women running a cattle station in the outback, aired for eight seasons on Channel Nine between 2001 and 2009.
A few years ago, Channel Nine expressed interest in a reboot.
