From heart-pounding rollercoasters to serene rainforest waterfalls, this episode of How Far Will You Travel: Australia is a wild ride through the sun-soaked Gold Coast — with a few unexpected detours along the way.

Host Grant Stevens kicks things off at Warner Bros. Movie World, where the screams are real, the superheroes are on call, and the DC Rivals HyperCoaster defies gravity (and reason). After a full day of thrill rides and stunt shows, it’s time to saddle up for the dinner and show at Australian Outback Spectacular.

But the Goldie isn’t just glitter and rides. Grant joins Rise Up Tours for a day of conscious tourism — visiting waterfalls on a forest walk, learning from local guides, and marvelling at the bioluminescent wonder of glow worms.

Recorded on location, with immersive sound and local voices, this episode brings the best of the Gold Coast straight to your ears!

In this episode of How Far Will You Travel: Australia, local host and travel nerd Grant Stevens slows things down in sunny, subtropical Brisbane — where life flows like the city’s famously bendy river.

You’ll explore must-do Brisbane experiences like sipping coffee while exploring in the botanic gardens, sunbathing on the inner-city beach, and learning about the city’s wildest locals — the sulphur-crested cockatoos. Plus, we venture further afield for a day at the legendary Australia Zoo, where we meet the team carrying on Steve Irwin’s legacy of conservation and croc-wrangling charm.

And because no Brisbane visit is complete without salt on your skin, we hop over to Moreton Island to snorkel the Tangalooma Wrecks, feast on Moreton Bay Bugs, and hurtle down some serious sand dunes. The episode is recorded on location — so you’ll hear every squawk, splash, and crunch of sand as if you were right there.
