Melbourne

In the final episode of How Far Will You Travel: Australia, we’re in Melbourne — a city where café culture is religion, art fills the laneways, and dumplings wait at the end of every tram line. Join Grant Stevens for buttery croissants at Lune, a street art-filled walking tour, an AFL showdown, and an espresso-fuelled road trip down the Great Ocean Road. There are kookaburras, limestone towers, a few surprises in the laneways, and just a touch of iconic.

Auckland

We’re on the last leg of our detour over the Tasman sea, visiting Auckland - New Zealand’s biggest city and unofficial capital of All Things Epic. This episode is packed tighter than a hobbit’s lunch pack! From coffee at the Viaduct to ferry rides, extinct volcanoes, Māori maritime legends, and a showdown with the All Blacks' in the shape of the Kama Te haka. Explore movie magic at Weta Workshop Unleashed, meet the world’s most chaotic pigeon (we're talking about you, kererū), hike the black sands of Karekare Beach, and climb Mount Victoria. Then it’s off to Hobbiton for a taste of the Shire life.

Christchurch

We know - it's not in Australia. But we couldn't resist the opportunity to pack our thermals and our nerd credentials for a hop across "the ditch" to explore the reinvented, art-covered, quietly badass city of Christchurch, New Zealand. We’re riding vintage trams, and trawling the Riverside Market for charcuterie and She Chocolate. Then it’s onto the TranzAlpine, one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys, followed by ziplining above the Canterbury forests. Our last day is set aside for a full-blown Lord of the Rings trip to Edoras (aka Mount Sunday). There’s street art, quake stories, kea birds, and a pneumatic burger tube. Yes, really.

Adelaide

Welcome to Adelaide! A city built for relaxed living, great food, and day trips that hit way above their weight. In this episode, Grant Stevens zips around on e-scooters, sips coffee, samples some serious cheese, and cuddles up to potoroos in Cleland Wildlife Park. There's wine tasting in the Barossa Valley, rooftop views from the Adelaide Oval, and a breezy bike ride to Glenelg Beach - where you'll get fresh air along with some local foodie tips. And yes, we talk about marsupial butts. Of course we do.

Perth

Welcome to Perth, Australia’s sunniest city (and host Grant Stevens’ hometown). This episode is packed with local love, sweeping skyline views from Kings Park, laneway art, river cruises, and laid-back café culture. Then it’s off to Rottnest Island to meet the smiling stars of your Instagram feed — quokkas — plus beaches, wildflowers, and, if you time your trip just right, the humpback whale migration. We wrap with a desert day trip to Pinnacles Desert Park, complete with sandboarding, stargazing, and rock formations that are out of this world.
