Episode 07: TurtlesHeading to the tropical beauty of Heron Island for Turtle Season in the Great Barrier Reef, Kayne and Brandon find themselves face to face with a beach full of Green Turtle hatchlings. But it’s a life or death race as the baby turtles have to navigate their way to the water with their natural predators waiting on all sides.

Episode 05: Honey AntsIn the heart of the Central Desert outside of Alice Springs, Kayne and Brandon go in search of a bush tucker feast to serve to the elders in the remote Aboriginal community of Pupunya. But first they must join the local women to dig four feet underground to find honey ants, a local delicacy, which they add to their banquet of desert fruits and vegetables, as well as the tasty witchetty grub and local delicacy of kangaroo tail! What Brandon and the elders eat, so too must Kayne!


Episode 06: Great White SharksRemote control skate boarding in the bush? The craziness doesn’t stop! Which is exactly what Kayne thinks when Brandon tells him his next mission is to go diving with Great White Sharks. But as sharks are attracted to sound, Brandon wants Kayne to beat box while underwater to lure one in – certainly high on the crazy and deadly scale!

Episode 10: PenguinsStarting from the highest peak on Australia’s most southern point, Brandon and Kayne jump on their mountain bikes and blast their way down Mt Wellington outside of Hobart, as they start their search for the elusive Fairy Penguin. Abseiling, sea kayaking and a spot of surfing later, the boys come face to face with the mysterious but very cute Fairy Penguin, while also meeting a rather unusual albino wallaby along the way.

Episode 08: Saltwater CrocDeep inside Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory, local rangers are keen to monitor a rogue saltwater crocodile – the deadliest reptile on the planet! Brandon reckons Kayne could help them out, and enlists his mate to help lure a giant croc into a cage, anaesthetise it and then attach a satellite tag to the back of its neck. They release it back into the wild, but now under surveillance to ensure the local communities remain safe. It’s jaw-droppingly scary!


Episode 09: Grey Nurse SharkBrandon and Kayne travel to Seal Rocks, off the northern coast of New South Wales, an area renowned as one of the last colonies of endangered Grey Nurse Sharks – there’s only about 400 left in the wild. Brandon challenges Kayne to swim with the sharks and to take an underwater photograph in case one day they are gone for good. They also experience a local indigenous smoking ceremony on Boomerang Beach.

Episode 11: Urban Vet High above Melbourne doing 360 spins in WWII fighter planes, Kayne introduces Brandon to his home turf, where they get involved with rescuing wild animals that live in the big city. From saving possums stuck up chimneys to removing fishhooks from wild turtles, living in the city makes for tense times! One of Brandon’s most memorable moments comes when he and Kayne take part in releasing a koala back into the wild after months of rehabilitation – heart warming!


Episode 12: Arafura File SnakeArnhem Land in the Northern Territory is Australia’s final frontier. Inside Arnhem Land they meet a few locals from the Indigenous community, who help them track down an Arafura File Snake, which Kayne has to cook and eat with his new friends. But there is just one catch – this rare delicacy lives in water – the same water that crocodiles live in! Will Kayne survive this heart-pumping challenge to enjoy his feast? Will the locals enjoy his cooking skills?

They take some time to meet the local Gundugurra people, before Justin the Jackaroo puts them through their paces on the farm.
