Julia has a go at paddle boarding with pooches before meeting Australia’s favourite koala. She joins fashion designer Jenny Kee, before taking a ride on the world’s steepest railway. Her hike through the Blue Mountains ends with a sighting of the plastic-loving bowerbird.

Julia meets backpackers in Cairns and heads out to an island turtle sanctuary. She treks through the oldest rainforest in the world and gets a taste for green ants. The caretakers of an idyllic island introduce her to the magic of the Great Barrier Reef.

In the first episode, Julia explores Sydney harbour before heading backstage at Sydney Opera House. At Bondi Beach she joins a beach patrol before heading off to a tattoo parlour to the stars, and as evening falls Julia joins Sydney’s drag queens for a memorable night.
