The Great Outdoors returns to The Seven Network

The Seven Network today announced the return of The Great Outdoors, with a reimagined version of the much-loved series set to showcase the best of Western Australian, national and international travel.

Set to premiere at 7.00pm on Saturday, 5 October on Channel 7 and 7plus, The Great Outdoors taps the nation’s enduring wanderlust, showcasing tourism gems in Western Australia, including the stunning landscapes of Pemberton, beautiful beaches of Busselton, the coast charm of Jurien Bay and the breathtaking scenery of Esperance.

New presenters James Tobin, Phil Burton, Teigan Nash, Kimberley Busteed, Lee Carseldine and Chris Parsons offering a glimpse into the world’s most unique experiences from our own backyard and across the world. The series will bring viewers extraordinary and unmissable adventures, epic scenery and vibrant food and culture.

Travel with the team as they visit all four corners of the compass in Australia, from diving off the Western Australian coast to trekking the deep forests of Tasmania. Hop in the passenger seat on a classic convertible road trip along the iconic Route 66 in the US; and scale the snow-covered heights of northern Europe.

James Tobin said: “I grew up watching The Great Outdoors and still can’t quite believe I’ve now got one of the best gigs on TV as I share these incredibly unique travel destinations with our viewers.

“Filming in the US was a real highlight of this series for me and I can’t wait to show viewers what we got up to over there.”

Phil Burton said: “I’ve travelled the world with my music, but what I realised through filming The Great Outdoors is some of the hidden gems we have right here in Australia.

“Having the opportunity to delve into Western Australia in a way I’d never seen it before was an incredible opportunity and I couldn’t be more delighted to be part of the show.”

Whether it’s a sneak peek into ranch life in Texas, hiking Switzerland’s largest glacier or hanging high above Perth, one thing’s for sure – the all-new The Great Outdoors will have viewers planning their next holiday adventure.
