Back Roads transports audiences to some of the nation's most remote and inspiring communities that highlight rural Australia's trademark grit, generosity, humour and innovation. Each week award-winning ABC journalist, Heather Ewart, who grew up on a sheep and wheat farm in Victoria, uncovers corners of Australia where misfortune has brought some to their knees, but imagination, faith and fun has lifted them back up.
Back Roads heads to Nimmitabel in NSW, one of Australia's highest altitude towns. Heather Ewart finds Nimmitabel has survived against all odds, by trying wild ideas such as a Steampunk festival and a contentious town bell.
These days the Victorian gold rush town of Beechworth is known for bushrangers, beer and bikes. Guest presenter Annie Louey goes in search of Beechworth's hidden Chinese history from the 1850s.
Presenter Tom Forrest explores the fishing town of Port MacDonnell, the Southern Rock Lobster capital of the world, on the rugged and most southerly point of South Australia.
Heather Ewart swaps four wheels for two - with mixed results - when she heads to Evandale in Tasmania, Australia's home of penny farthing races.
