Australia is a traveler's paradise: a land of stunning coral beaches that give way to vast tracts of parched red earth wilderness. It's also booming like never before, thanks to its treasure trove of mineral riches. In Episode 2, Simon Reeve helps a team culling poisonous feral cane toads that are threatening the region's wildlife in Kakadu National Park, learns how to survive off the land using ancient Aboriginal knowledge in the remote northern Bush, attempts to catch box jellyfish on Cape York Peninsula with scientists, and watches a large tanker being guided through the Great Barrier Reef.
