McManus, Walton head off on honeymoon

Rove McManus and his bride, actress Tasma Walton, have headed off on a South African honeymoon after tying the knot in Broome a month ago.

The Australian host, whose self-titled show started a month-long production break last week, and his wife are believed to have signed on to do some work for international conservation organisation Fauna and Flora.

The couple tied the knot at a private beachside ceremony with close family and friends after Walton proposed earlier this year.

McManus, who refers to himself as an "animal tragic", and Walton learnt about conservation on a recent trip to Indonesia and Cambodia and are believed to be staying at a wildlife animal reserve for their unofficial honeymoon.

McManus used to be married to actress Belinda Emmett, who was most known for her role as Rebecca Fisher in Home and Away, until she died from cancer in 2006.
