Lonely Planet - Going Bush

Roll up your swags, pack your sense of adventure and hit the road with Olympic Champion Cathy Freeman and actor Deborah Mailman as they embark on a road trip through Aboriginal Australia. Setting out from Broome and heading all the way to Arnhem Land, the girls take us to places we've never seen, introduce us to people we've never met and reveal the stories behind Australia's rich cultural heritage.

Episode one - Bush Olympics
The adventure begins with Cathy and Deborah rocking up to the bush olympics at One Arm Point, signing up for a blind date on the mudflats of Derby and witnessing an emotional homecoming at Brooking Gorge.

Episode two - Halls Creek Rodeo
The heart of Kimberley is cowboy country and Cathy and Deborah get right into the thick of it mustering steers, honing their bullriding skills and watching the pros bite the dust at the Halls Creek Rodeo.

Episode three - Croc Country
Cathy and Deborah come face to face with man-eating crocs, go disco crazy in a remote Aboriginal community and have a dandy soiree with a group of retired stockmen who've shaken up the world of contemporary art.

Episode four - Arnhem Land
Hightailing it across the biggest Aboriginal reserve in the country, Cathy and Deborah hit the high notes with indigenous rock band Narbelek, discover an isolated community weaving its way to economic success, and sweat out the dust and grime of weeks on the road in the ultimate bush sauna.
