First aired July 2023:
In 1912 when the "adventurer" was a job description & also an alibi, two brothers took their dogs on a road trip – before roads existed.
These brothers loved their dogs and hated shirts but that didn't stop them from circumnavigating Australia several times by bike and car – often digging their own roads IN THE OUTBACK!
