TV Producer-presenter Greg Grainger has spent the past 2 months filming all over Outback Queensland, from Birdsville and the Simpson Desert to the Gulf of Carpentaria, and everything in between. 

“We've filmed some marvellous characters” says Grainger.  “From the entertaining Crack-up sisters in Winton, to Richard McKinnon and his galloping horse-drawn stagecoaches in Longreach.

“There's a special robust charm amongst the people we filmed,” says Grainger. “Our cameras follow them in their daily pursuits, from droving cattle to fossicking for fossils.” 

The series has been supported by the Outback Queensland Tourism Association and the Councils of Outback Queensland.

The unique spirit of the Outback is captured through its characters, events, towns and attractions. 

“There's so much going on in Queensland's Outback,” says Grainger. “Long-lost World War II bombers, catching giant Barramundi, stitching Tambo Teddies together. From the Min Min Lights of Boulia to the bilby rehabilitation programme in Charleville. 

Grainger's cameras record new diggings in Richmond's fields of fossils, fat-tailed Dunnarts in Julia Creek, and underground hospitals and the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Mount Isa. 

Special events like the Shearers Shindig in Thargomindah and Opera Queensland's performances in Longreach are captured. 

 From the bottle trees of Roma to the cotton fields of Dirranbandi, from the Cunnamulla Fella to the new Eromanga Natural History Museum, this series embraces life in the Outback.   

The six-part series will be broadcast on Travel Oz on 7TWO from 8:30am Saturdays from 5 June 2021.
