Australian Twins Sensation Captivates The World

Bridgette and Paula Powers became the latest Australian twins sensation after their eerie, synchronized speech on live TV went viral. The 47-year-old sisters stunned audiences during an interview on Channel 10’s The Project, where they described witnessing a fatal carjacking and shooting.

Their identical delivery left both viewers and host Waleed Aly in disbelief. By the following day, their moment had sparked a media storm. A viral clip of the pair recounting the event in exact unison quickly made the rounds on social media, captivating global audiences.

Viral Moment Transforms Into Charitable Momentum

Recognizing the buzz, GoFundMe approached the sisters about turning their newfound fame into action. On Wednesday, the Powers twins launched a $30,000 fundraising campaign to support their nonprofit, Twinnies Pelican Seabird Rescue.

The rescue center, located on Steve Irwin Way in Landsborough, Queensland, operates 24/7 to rehabilitate injured seabirds and pelicans. “It’s a costly passion,” Bridgette explained. “But we just love looking after the seabirds and water birds. They need our help.”

Their Rescue Center Desperately Needs Repairs

Funds from the campaign will cover essential needs such as fish for the birds, rising electricity bills, and structural maintenance of the rescue facility. “Our poor old centre—we’re forever patching it up,” Bridgette said. “It’s very old, but it’s working.”

Despite their newfound fame, the sisters remain grounded. In between media interviews, they continue rescuing birds and tending to their sanctuary.

Speaking In Unison Since Day One

The twins say they’ve spoken in unison “from day dot.” Although they’ve tried speaking independently, they admit it feels awkward and unnatural. “It’s not us,” they explained. “We don’t know why we talk this way—it just happens.”

Some online viewers have criticized the sisters when there’s even a split-second delay between their voices. Yet, they’ve learned to ignore the negativity. “It used to bother us, but now it doesn’t whatsoever,” Bridgette said. “Keyboard warriors have nothing better to do.”

Lifelong Bond Forged Through Wildlife

Bridgette and Paula have worn matching clothes every day for decades and even developed a twin-only language as children. Their unusual lifestyle has previously drawn media attention, long before their current viral fame.

The sisters were mentored as children by late wildlife icon Steve Irwin, who supported their passion for animals. Now, their bird rescue work continues their legacy.

As donations pour in, the Powers twins are using their sudden fame for good, proving that even a surreal viral moment can lead to real-world impact.
