Logie-nominated entertainer Julia Zemiro will captivate audiences in the sixth episode of Great Australian Walks, set to air on 14 September at 7:30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand.
The upcoming episode unfurls in the spectacular Blue Mountains. Covering a distance of slightly over 20 km, the Grand Clifftops Walk is a treasure trove of wonders. Viewers can expect cinematic landscapes featuring vertiginous cliffs, intricate sandstone formations, sprawling eucalyptus forests, and the iconic Three Sisters.
Zemiro’s exploration is more than just a feast for the eyes. She engages with a local Indigenous elder who has been instrumental in the environmental restoration of a landmark area. Her journey is complemented by a ride in a panoramic cable car, offering a unique vantage point of the Three Sisters.
The episode pays homage to the unsung heroes maintaining this cherished trail. It delves into their stories, shedding light on their invaluable, albeit undercompensated, efforts to keep the pathway vibrant and secure.
A standout feature of the series is its use of archival footage that adds layers of historical context to each walk. This technique brings to life Australia’s rich multicultural narrative, highlighting everything from the persistence of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy activists in Canberra to the caretakers of the country’s oldest synagogue.
