Great Australian Road Trips on SBS and SBS on Demand S1E3 – Great Australian Road Trips puts Claudia Karvan, Melissa Leong, Nazeem Hussain and Steph Tisdell in the driver’s seat, taking viewers on six epic journeys celebrating the country’s natural beauty and cultural treasures.
From the dirt tracks of the Red Centre Way in the Northern Territory to the Great Barrier Reef Drive in northern Queensland, Kangaroo Island in South Australia to the waterfalls and windswept beauty of Tasmania’s western coast, iconic Grand Pacific Drive south of Sydney to the nerve-jangling drive across the East Alligator River, this is the ultimate open road enthusiast’s guide to Australia.
Episode Three:
Mel and Naz embark on an unforgettable road trip along Tasmania’s rugged West Coast, beginning in the historic mining town of Queenstown. As they navigate the winding curves of the ‘99 Bends’, they marvel at the eerie, moon-like landscape shaped by over a century of copper mining.
Their first stop is an abandoned mine with local guide Anthony, where they step back in time to explore the region’s industrial past before venturing to Mount Owen, a dramatic peak offering breathtaking panoramic views of the vast wilderness.
Continuing their journey, they arrive at Trial Harbour, a remote coastal settlement where they meet Trish Hodge, a respected cultural custodian of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
