Cruising with Jane McDonald

Daredevil singer Jane MDonald gets high in Australia and New Zealand in the second episode of Cruising with... on Channel 5

Daredevil Jane McDonald gets high in Australia and New Zealand in the latest outing of Crusing...

That Jane is one plucky lady.

The second part of her Antipodean adventure finds her in the New Zealand capital Wellington, where she has a go at quad-biking – 900m above sea level.

Then, after a helicopter ride over Auckland, Jane heads for the city’s imposing Sky Tower, where she attempts a heart-stopping ‘SkyJump’, before heading back to Sydney in Australia to climb the iconic Harbour Bridge (above).

Thankfully, in New Zealand, there are also some less high-octane treats for Jane, as she visits the (rather whiffy!) thermal pools of stunning Rotorua and even rubs noses with a traditional Maori tribe, but her attempt to play one of their war instruments is not a roaring success.

Stick to singing, Jane!
