- 2008 SERIES RETURN
- ALL-NEW BEACH SPECIAL

THE GREAT OUTDOORS makes its 2008 return tonight with a beach special hosted by TOM WILLIAMS and JENNIFER HAWKINS.

Away from our shores, Tom travels to Kauai, the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, also known as The Garden Isle. Sure it’s got great surf, but the hidden Kauai can best be seen from kayaking on the tranquil backwaters, to a catamaran cruise past the spectacular Napali cliffs. You can also zipline over the jungle canopy, then head back to the beach for a taste of what Tom calls “the real Hawaii”.

While closer to home, with 2008 the International Year Of The Reef, ERNIE DINGO takes a look at Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef from the sky, then explores different ways to see all the underwater action. From giant clams to Nemo, the Reef is the world’s biggest and a fragile wonderland for all to enjoy.

Later in the show, Ernie sets out from Perth to travel the 90kms to York, Western Australia’s oldest inland town.

Meanwhile, Jennifer checks out Melbourne’s Eco Islands, ANDREW DADDO heads to Beachport in South Australia and joins a 4WD tagalong tour and we meet Bruce Apps from Brooms Head in NSW, a town said to be named after a broom that washed up on the beach in 1870.
