Last time Enrico and Reiko set off in canoes up the Katherine Gorge. This time they find out it’s not as easy as their guide had told them. Anita got her dream job minding horses, and now she has her own car to go travelling with her dog Chooka. Rebecca is steeling herself for the withdrawal from Tim Tam Biscuits, and prepares to immerse herself in the bush for a whole week, on this no-frills guided tour through Central Australia- first stop is Uluru. Like most tourists, she’s come here in search of an authentic experience of the Australian wilderness. And for her, if romance happens to come with the package, for example with Bones, the tour guide, well, that would be okay, too. And if nothing else, at least one can come away with a good taste of that emptiness and isolation that defines the remote centre of Australia.
Anita has been minding horses and planting native trees in exchange for room and board. Although she’s enjoying her life on the farm, her companion is not happy there - so Chooka is being placed in a new home, back at the farm where Anita was last working. She leaves her canine companion behind so she can travel around Australia with her American boyfriend, Baaba. Her plan is to buy a new vehicle …one which is more conducive to romance. Rachel’s job in the Aboriginal community is finished, so she takes Miki on a farewell picnic with some of the kids she’s been working with.
Rachel bids a tearful goodbye to her adopted mother, Margie and the schoolkids she’s grown to love. In this episode, Rachel and Miki buy a car and take a road trip in Western Australia where they’ll earn a living picking fruit. Enrico and Reiko enjoy a series of disasters on the river, and Rebecca continues her no-frills tour of Central Australia- she has attracted two men and a permanent entourage of flies! She tells everyone who will listen how outback experience so far has left her speechless. Fifty kilometres west is the next stop on the tour -- The Olgas, one of Central Australia’s unique geographical features, and an important place in the Aboriginal Dreamtime.
Rachel and Miki are checking into the backpacker hostel where they bought their car. The car cost them all their savings, so now they can’t afford to drive any more. Their hope is to find some work picking fruit for the local farmers, so they can save up and get back on the road again. Miki’s experiences in Australia have already changed the way she sees the rest of her life unfolding. Two weeks of fruit picking gives Miki and Rachel enough money to hit the road once more. Rachel and the tour group continue their insect-eating antics and gathering campfire wood. An all-female tour group called ‘Birds In The Bush’ sets up camp nearby- the boys in Rachel’s group discover their presence and invade their space.
Previously, we saw Anita from Amsterdam connecting with her guru and boyfriend, Baaba from Los Angeles, whose great grandfather was a Masaai warrior. Now they’re on the road together in Australia. We also saw Miki and Rachel meet up in Western Australia, where Rachel was working in a remote Aboriginal community. In this episode, Miki and Rachel use their hard-earned savings to hit the road together and embark on their desert road trip. They head deep into the desert with their pre-owned but never nurtured car. It’s a 600 dollar vehicle that’s been handed down through several generations of backpackers.
In this episode, Miki and Rachel try to be at one with nature. . . Miki is backpacking her way around Australia. She’s on the lookout for a sexy boy, because she’s become bored with her Japanese boyfriend back home. Her traveling companion is Rachel, who has escaped from her workaday world in Canada. She wants to experience the freedom of life on the road before she gets too old for it. They’re also keen to have their first nature experience in the desert, and they’ll begin by sleeping out under the starry Southern sky. We last saw Rebecca touring Central Australia. Her heart was torn between two suitors -- her cool eccentric Tour Guide, Bones, and Steve, a young tourist from Germany known as The Testosterone Kid. So Rebecca makes her choice -- by staying on with Bones’s tour of the Kakadu National heritage Park, in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Miki’s ex-boyfriend is flying in from Japan tomorrow to visit her. But what he doesn’t know is that Miki now has two new boyfriends, both Australian, and both named Chris! She’s also about to start her night shift as a waitress in a local Chinese restaurant. But first she’s rewarding herself with her favourite pastime… eating. Baaba’s loose attire is ideally suited to desert conditions, but it requires him to frequently adjust his weapon! Life on the road is teaching Baaba a lot about Australia’s indigenous cultures, and it’s also giving him plenty of exposure to the alternative culture of backpacking.
In this episode, Yonit, Enrico and Reiko are leaving the Northern Territory and heading across the continent to the west coast, with their Aussie friend and guide, Zac. He has arranged a special visit with his old friends, Jack and Lilly, two respected elders in the local community. Miki and ex-boyfriend Hiro take to the skies with a sky-diving lesson and as Hiro sleeps off his jet-leg Miki keeps a pre-arranged date with one of her two Aussie boyfriends. Everything goes wrong when Miki accidentally spends the night away from Hiro… after a night of drinking she’s surprised to wake up at her girlfriend’s house.
The final episode catches up with Yonit, Enrico and Reiko in Kalumburus - one of the most isolated of all the Aboriginal communities, well away from any tourist routes. Zac is good friends with Jack and Lily, who’ve agreed to give Zac’s backpacking friends a taste of the real indigenous Australia. After this rare experience, they head off to their final destination in Australia- the famous pearling town of Broome, on Australia’s far west coast. Miki has decided not to return to Japan yet, and she now has an Australian student visa so she can improve her English, and spend more time with Chris. Rachel is working as a long-haul truck driver based in Ontario. She’s saving money so she can go to college and study photography. Rebecca is working as a waitress in a New York strip club, saving enough money to travel through Southeast Asia, and then on to India.
