Hector Goes

Wilson Creek to Alice Springs (17x2)

:

Hector Ó hEochagáin hitches a ride with an Australian Outback pilot to the town of Coober Pedy, where father and son opal miners share a slice of daily life. In the desert dust, he meets Protein Pete and his gyrocopter, explores the local power station, and checks out an underground hotel. An early morning mail run takes him deeper into the Outback toward the red centre of Alice Springs, where he joins a youth-focused community group, samples ancient bush foods and sends some Irish across the airwaves at the School of the Air
