Going Places with Ernie Dingo will return for a sixth season on NITV, SBS later this month.
Led by Australian icon and proud Yamatji man, Ernie Dingo, the 12-episode season travels across Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and the Northern Territory to meet meet Indigenous peoples and local legends.
Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin, Keeping Hope) joins for the first time this season, along with returning presenters Aaron Fa’Aoso, Bianca Hunt and Rae Johnston.
Host, Ernie Dingo, said: “Travel is one of my many passions and it’s a joy to work with the team on another new season. From Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef to Mt Isa’s world-famous rodeo country, there are always more stories to tell, with wonderful people to tell them. I hope people at home might find a new location to add to their travel list, thanks to our show.”
NITV’s Acting Head of Indigenous Commissions and Production, Adam Manovic, said: “Going Places with Ernie Dingo continues to be a much-loved program for NITV and SBS audiences and we’re so proud that the program is now in its sixth season. Ernie’s conversational and laid-back interview style gives an intimate portrait of each of the places he visits, and we’re thrilled to have Mark Coles Smith join the team for season 6. Each of our presenters – Ernie, Mark, Bianca, Aaron and Rae bring their own experience and flair to the show.”
Each episode features three locations, with a total of 36 stories across the season. They will be available on SBS On Demand, with captions available in English and subtitles in Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese.
