Tune in for another groundbreaking season of My Way, the 9Network’s unique tribute to the passion, ingenuity and inspiration of extraordinary Queenslanders, when it returns this Sunday at 5.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
My Way continues to tell the stories of Queenslanders far and wide who are doing great things by making up their own rules in business and life, living out their dreams, and doing everything their way.
Narrator Tim Blackwell says:
“From picturesque fishing villages up north, daring free divers with a passion for mental health, to clever teenagers making colourful earrings from recycled materials and a riveting range of tourism operators, My Way is hitting our screens again to showcase the people behind the amazing ideas and adventures you can find all over the Sunshine State.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of My Way. It is a testament to the vision and drive of Queenslanders, proudly produced by Queenslanders.”
Geoff Cooper, Production and Programming Manager, Nine Queensland said:
“With My Way we’re making a name for Queensland production, delivering world-class cinematography and showcasing regions like the Capricorn Coast and Moreton Bay to give the state the exposure it deserves.”
Episode one on Sunday showcases four business operators doing things differently in South-East Queensland and Rockhampton.
We meet vivacious James and Kirstie Rennell from Craft’d Grounds, a boutique coffee shop that was once a dilapidated, century-old site in Brisbane’s north and is now a thriving community of restaurants, bars and breweries that even has a martial arts gym.
Next, viewers meet Paratech Paragliding’s Jason Turner who turned a sour redundancy into a career in the sky, satisfying his need for adrenaline and teaching tourists to take off and spread their wings while taking in stunning views of the Gold Coast Hinterland.
After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2015, the ability to enjoy the ocean he grew up by changed drastically for Moffat Beach artist Colin Chandler. But despite his medical condition and the need for a motorised scooter, he maintains a strong connection with the ocean and creates brilliant artworks with intricate details of the waves.
Finally, My Way heads north to St Aubins Village, a heritage-listed property offering guests a slice of life in historical Rockhampton. Mother-daughter duo Janice Dawson and Lauren Myors host heritage tours for people who want to step back in time and offer a breathtaking venue for weddings or other social celebrations.
