Getaway returns for another season of excitement and adventure

Australia’s longest running travel program,  Getaway , is back for its 32nd season tomorrow at 5.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Aussies are itching to explore the world, and the new episodes of  Getaway  in 2023 will showcase interstate destinations and overseas adventures to satisfy our viewers’ hunger for excitement and travel.

In the first episode we say “bula” to Fiji with  Charli Robinson  as she indulges in the luxurious relaxation and wellness programs of the Six Senses Fiji resort on Malolo Island.

David Reyne  explores historical Churchill Island, a 19th century, 57-hectare working farm just off Phillip Island in Victoria, trying his hand at whip cracking and blacksmithing.

Meanwhile,  Lincoln Lewis  tours Queensland’s Granite Belt, taste testing what could be Australia’s best apple pie.

Plus  Catriona Rowntree  visits Oslo and explores its delicious street culture and museums to learn about the intriguing history of Norway that goes right back to the Vikings.

Stepping into her 27th year as a presenter on  Getaway , Catriona said: “From journeys in our own backyard to cruises through the Arctic, exploring Asia as I finally tick Japan off my bucket list, and the cities of Europe, I can’t wait to join our team in bringing the wonders of the world to our travel-hungry viewers.

“I’m just as excited to be filming  Getaway  heading into my 27th year as I was back in 1996. I prayed that I would last the six-week contract, which has clearly been answered. The buzz is still there and I’m able to be the conduit for others as we travel the globe.”

Getaway  is proudly supported by our Exclusive Principal Partner, Scenic.  

GETAWAY RETURNS: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18 AT 5.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 AND 9NOW
