Jack Absalom's: In The Steps Of Charles Sturt
From his home at Broken Hill, Jack Absalom retraces the journey of the English explorer Charles Sturt who was convinced the centre of Australia contained a vast inland sea.
Sturt's journey was one of great hardship as his party was drought bound for over 6 months at one location, ravaged by scurvy and attacked by wild Aboriginals on whose waters the party had camped.
The story tells of the gold rush following Sturt's explorations, of the peril still to be encountered and some novel direction finding techniques.

Jack Absalom's: The Journey To Lilliput
Essentially this program is all about safe caravanning and an extraordinary journey into a fascinating part of outback Australia.
This journey takes us from Broken Hill in far western New South Wales through South Australia's wheat belt on to Port Pirie and Port Augusta, across the Eyre Peninsula towards Ceduna.
We will meet farmers, miners and fishermen. Bet you didn't know that the best bait to catch King George Whiting is a mollusc called a razor fish. Bet you also didn't know that Dutch explorers mapped this coastline in 1627 and they were going to settle there some 70 years before The First Fleet ever left England.
The novelist Jonathon Swift, who wrote Gulliver's Travels, used these early explorers' maps to create the setting for his story. Hence the area being known as Lilliput, after the tiny Lilliputians who captured Gulliver.
The Locations of Broken Hill
It's known as the Hollywood of the Outback, and for very good reason, with countless iconic films having been set there. We spoke to two locals about how their slices of Broken Hill in to Australian film history; Esther La Rovere, Managing Director at the Palace Hotel, where most of The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert was filmed, and Adrian Bennett, owner of the Mad Max Museum.

TRANSCRIPT:
What have you heard?
And what have you felt?
And for what do you thirst, from this land we call home?
How far have you come?
And how far will you go?
And what lengths will you go to, to find the colour of home?
Where you can drink from the wells of time and see the whole story unravel below.
How that legend grows.
You'll find it still watches.
It's with you today, as you charge into history.
To make a piece of it yours.
In the ancient channel lands where adventurers gathered.
Aromas of feasts, they float upon light.
Like the campfire smoke and giant friends of flight.
The colours so rich in sky, and glass.
How they bubble in our crimson heart.
Serenity soars and welcomes us all.
At the storytellers home.
Where you can sit and listen.
Or bring one of your own.
Those who journey beyond the bounds.
Will climb the sands of forgotten time.
And will at last discover.
The colour of home.

USTOA Travel Together: Learn from Australia's Locals
The Aborigines are the oldest still living culture in the world and it was an honor to get to meet many of the locals residing in the Northern Territory. I was able to learn about Bush Tucker or food in the wild, dot painting and more about how their people have lived in the harsh Outback for thousands of years.
