The Great Outdoors returns to screens after 12 years

The Seven Network has announced travel favourite The Great Outdoors will be back on Australian screens within weeks.
The reimagined version stars new hosts – James Tobin, Phil Burton, Teigan Nash, Kimberley Busteed, Lee Carseldine and Chris Parsons – and is set to premiere at 7pm on Saturday October 5.
This return season sees the team “visit all four corners of the compass in Australia, from diving off the Western Australian coast to trekking the deep forests of Tasmania; hopping in the passenger seat on a classic convertible road trip along the iconic Route 66 in the US; and scaling the snow-covered heights of northern Europe”.
“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,” Tobin said.
“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.”
Burton added: “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.”
The Great Outdoors premieres on Saturday, October 5 at 7pm AEST on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
