Great Australian Walks

In this breathtaking episode, Gina Chick walks barefoot to the rooftop of Australia, Mt Kosciuszko, discovering that it was named after a Polish freedom fighter.

Susie Youssef plunges back in time as she traverses Ned Kelly Country in northern Victoria, walking in the footsteps of Ned and the goldfields where Chinese miners hoped to strike it rich. 

Julia Zemiro heads to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in a spiritual journey into the heart of Australia to discover why this place matters so much to Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians alike. 

Gina Chick returns to Tasmania, crisscrossing Bruny Island to meet locals who reveal how Indigenous peoples and native species were ravaged to the brink of extinction but are now experiencing renewal.

Susie Youssef hits The Bay Trail in Melbourne from funky St Kilda to Brighton's iconic beach boxes, along the way meeting an immigrant, muso, cold case crime writer and a twitcher.

Julia Zemiro hits the wild west, discovering how Rottnest Island/Wadjemup transformed from a prison to a playground, and how Fremantle went from a footnote in history to an international headline.

Susie Youssef enters the sacred canyons of Wilpena Pound in South Australia, where she's invited into a secret Indigenous site not open to the public and meets an Afghan refugee with an unusual connection to this stunning area.

Gina Chick strides down Bathers Way in Newcastle on a stunning coastal walk that reflects how this harbour city – home to coal and steel, shipwrecks and Silverchair – has reinvented itself. Established in 1801, Newcastle – or ‘Newy' as the locals refer to it – is Australia's second-oldest city, having long played bridesmaid to Sydney.

Susie Youssef heads to South Australia's renowned wine region, walking the contours of a disused railway track from Auburn to Clare while hearing women's stories of survival and tasting wine from the valley's first viticulturalists.
