Your Host
Produced by veteran travel documentary producer/presenter Greg Grainger, Travel OZ features 3 to 4 remote and exotic destinations each episode.
As well as Greg's reports, regular guest presenters 'The Two Tims' - Travel OZ's two dynamic young hosts - bring their own zany presentation skills to the programme.
TRAVELOZ 2010
The 2010 series of Travel Oz covers characters, events and destinations from all over Australia, from the King Island marathon to the wildflowers of Western Australia. There are festivals of bush balladeers, and winter magicians to air shows, and bush rangers.
One highlight will be a series of 30-minute features on sport, festivals and Aussie islands, to encounters with marine creatures and wildlife.
Other episodes will follow expeditions from source to sea on the Murray River, and around Australia’s far north from Groote Eylandt to the Torres Straight.
Travel Oz producer and host, Greg Grainger, says the new series will take viewers to more than 120 new locations.
“We aim to capture the wonderful spirit of Australians. We are filming some genuine characters like Afghan Willie who rides his camel train all over the outback. We’re featuring others in a special on the heroes of Australia, like VC winner trooper Mark Donaldson.”
The programme’s young presenters, the Two Tims, join runners in events like Sydney’s City to Surf fun run, go mud crabbing in Tropical North Queensland, follow the Great Ocean Walk in Victoria and interact with the natives in a New Guinea expedition that features the Trobriand Islands and the Highlands around Goroka.
Travel Oz prides itself with being a family produced programme, meaning Greg’s cameraman son Jefferson and new wife Dr Sally Grainger present a series of reports around Western Australia, from the dolphins of Monely Mia to the strange formations at The Pinnacles.
The 2010 series travels to all of Australia’s states and territories, from the Antarctic to the Cocos Islands. Viewers will share experiences from sailing on the Young Endeavour to the Henley on Todd regatta in Alice Springs. There’ll be shark diving in South Australia, wife carrying in New South Wales, and Gem Festivals in Queensland.
Travel Oz screens on ABC1 Australia, Australia Network Asia Pacific, Travel Channel Europe, Red Group Russia, and InFlight - the international airline service.
