In this series, chef Ben O’Donoghue gears up for an Aussie road trip of epic proportions. Ben plans to take in some of the country’s most amazing destinations and indulge in some of its finest gourmet offerings. This is more than just a ‘foodie's travelogue’, and Ben is a chef who likes to get his hands dirty. Drawing inspiration from the location, its people and its produce, Ben sets out to push the boundaries of the local culture with his innovative food creations.

Each episode of Drive Thru Australia sees Ben visit a different region of Australia to discover its people, its attractions and its unique food offerings. Packed with plenty of humour, Drive Thru Australia will celebrate the best of Australian food, unveiling our amazing produce and the people behind it. But it’s not all about the food. Along the way Ben will take in Australia’s breathtaking scenery, discover natural wonders and wild outdoor adventures, indulge in some fine accommodation and get to know the Aussie characters that bring it all to life.

Just watched the Caloundra episode and was disappointed to see the way that Ben and the Caloundra 4WD Club conducted themselves when driving inland 4WD tracks. They drove with absolutely no regard for the environment, the tracks or the cars they were driving (esp a "soft roader" like the Kia). The principles of the well known "Tread Lightly" code of common sense (the focus on minimising impact to the environment) were totally ignored and this kind of behaviour, especially on television, makes responsible 4WD owners cringe. Any member of an affiliated 4WD club is well aware of "Tread Lightly" and the work behind it to keep 4WD tracks open for us all to enjoy.
