Seven's The Great Outdoors returns to showcase the best of Australia and the world

Seven has announced the return of The Great Outdoors, with a reimagined version of the series set to showcase the best of Australian and international travel.

Premiering at 7.00 pm on Saturday, 5 October on Channel 7 and 7plus, The Great Outdoors taps the nation’s enduring wanderlust, with new presenters James Tobin, Phil Burton, Teigan Nash, Kimberley Busteed, Lee Carseldine and Chris Parsons offering a glimpse into the world’s most unique experiences from our own backyard and across the world.

The team will visit all four corners of the compass in Australia, from diving off the Western Australian coast to trekking the deep forests of Tasmania; hop in the passenger seat on a classic convertible road trip along the iconic Route 66 in the US; and scale the snow-covered heights of northern Europe.

Tobin said: “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.

“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 said: “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 at 7:00 pm Saturday, 5 October on Channel Seven and 7plus.
