BREAKING NEWS: February 12, 2009
The all-new
Australian travel show TRAVEL OZ has been signed up for a second year of
production.
Programmers
for Australia’s ABC1 network have signed a new series of 24 programmes to go to
air from April 8.
Travel Oz is
transmitted at 6pm on Wednesdays, with the first series of 25 programmes to be
repeated immediately when the new series ends, from September 2009.
The Australia
Network (Asia Pacific) and the European Travel Channel have also signed to take
the new series, while negotiations are being finalised with broadcasters in the
USA, New Zealand and Russia.
Producer/presenter Greg Grainger says the new series of Travel Oz will
feature expeditions to the Cocos Islands, across the Kimberly and Top End, the
south west corner of Western Australia and to Australian territory in the
Antarctic.
The
Australian Antarctic series of stories includes Macquarie Island, and Mawson’s
Hut. The Travel Oz crew filmed for the first time a food dump left by the
Mawson expedition a hundred years ago. Stunning footage was recorded of fifty
Orcas surging out of the water together as they hunted for fish.
One scoop in
the new series of Travel Oz will be some never-before-filmed sacred sites in the
Northern Territory. Traditional elders of the Jawoyn people agreed to take
Grainger and team to spectacular gorges in southern Arhemland, covered in
elaborate rock art.
Queensland is
featured in a series of events covered by the programme’s two young reporters,
the Two Tims - Tim Charody and Tim Doyle. The events include the Hughendon
Camel Endurance Rally, the Mount Isa rodeo and the Birdsville
Races.
New South
Wales features in a series of stories, from the Barrington Tops and Montague
Island, to the Capertee Valley. New face, veterinary surgeon Dr Sally Debney,
makes her debut with a report on a muster of cattle in the Snowy Mountains,
surrounded by wild brumbies.
Travel Oz
aims to capture the spirit of Australia through its characters, events, and
remote and exotic destinations.
