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.

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.

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.
