Returning: Coast Australia

Season 4 of Coast Australia will finally hit screens in January.

Filmed in 2018, the Neil Oliver series was held back to screen in summer.

Eight episodes will screen weekly on History, but are also available to stream On Demand from the premiere date.

Jim Buchan, Foxtel’s General Manager, Factual and General Entertainment, “We’re thrilled to announce the return of our most spectacular and popular local commission. Coast Australia season four will return at a time when Australians are appreciating more than ever how wonderfully unique, beautiful and special our isolated continent is.

“Since 2013, the Coast Australia franchise has been a true phenomenon for the History channel in both performance and in redefining how history can be told in such a contemporary and highly entertaining fashion. The local stories, characters and Australian history we’ve captured over the years is priceless.”

This season, Neil and his crew of co-presenters journey farther and wider than ever before, giving Australian viewers a first-class ticket to a host of spectacular coastlines from their own loungerooms, while offering inspiration to travel within this vast and beautiful continent in the future.

In season four, Neil visits eight stunning coastlines around Australia. Joined by palaeontologist-explorer Professor Tim Flannery; marine ecologist Professor Emma Johnston; historian Dr Alice Garner; marine biologist Dr Dean Miller and introducing brand new co-presenter, Indigenous archaeologist Dave Johnston, Neil and the team set out to investigate and capture the most fascinating stories around the edge of Australia, a blossoming nation built on an ancient land.

From the rugged West Coast of Tasmania to one of Australia’s most remote territories off the coast of Western Australia, to the Bight in the south and the tip of Cape York in the north, Coast Australia takes audiences to breathtaking and hidden corners of the country, revealing unknown fables rich with history and character.

Coast Australia is produced by Phil Smith and executive produced by Cathy Scott at Great Southern Television.
