Great Australian Walks returns to SBS with a new series, and this time, celebrated comedian Julia Zemiro is joined by comedian Susie Youssef and inaugural Alone Australia winner Gina Chick as co-presenters. Each episode, one of the trio takes viewers on a journey of discovery, exploring the diverse landscapes, sounds, and stories that embody Australia.
The series premiere sees Julia embark on the incredible Cape to Cape Track, stretching from the charming town of Margaret River to the Boranup State Forest. Along this rugged coastline, she immerses herself in the region’s rich biodiversity and pristine wilderness.
During her walk, Julia encounters an array of special guests, including ARIA award-winning musician John Butler, who joins her to explore the area’s natural beauty and cultural significance.
On each walk, Julia, Susie, and Gina meet a diverse range of people, from experts and locals to First Australians and new Australians, all contributing to a rich tapestry of intersectional stories that reflect Australia’s modern multicultural identity.
Other familiar faces set to appear in this series include broadcaster and writer Benjamin Law, comedians Geraldine Hickey and Rachel Berger, First Nations singer-songwriter Kutcha Edwards, and award-winning authors Craig Silvey and Katherine Kovacic.
Great Australian Walks with Julia Zemiro, Season 2, Episode 1, airs on SBS and SBS on Demand on Thursday, 22 August 2024, at 7:30 pm, with 10 parts in total.
