Australian Wilderness

For the fourth stop of his Outback tour, Ray Mears heads to the ‘wild jewel’ in Australia’s crown, Kangaroo Island

For the fourth stop of his Outback tour, Ray Mears heads to the ‘wild jewel’ in Australia’s crown, Kangaroo Island.

Ray finds much of the island is still a pristine paradise, as it was when the first explorers arrived and were stunned by the sight of kangaroos!

There are still many kangaroos here – but for Ray the highlight of his trek comes with his first sight of an echidna, a mammal that lays eggs and has a beak like a bird.

Another great episode.
