S1E14 - Fishing, Farming, Flying, and Fraser Island

Waking up at the Falls Farm, Andy has an explore of its small but incredible produce. After a dip, Andy continues his way to meet Ben in Tropical North QLD - but on the way he makes a stop on Fraser Island. Why not? So we join Andy as he takes a (very) small plane from the Sunshine Coast onto the largest sand island in the world. While on the island he prepares a sunset Goldband Snapper & finger lime sashimi dish, try his hand at all forms of fishing (to no avail), do a bit of sandboarding and cook a whole 6kg Red Emperor across the firepit of ‘Eliza Lodge', the desireable eco-mansion he and the crew are crashing in for the night.

An impromptu chilli crab cook-up ensues on the beach before a QLD summer storm hits.

The boys end their trip with a surprise helicopter adventure to the remote sand bank Vlasoff Cay, and a visual montage of the road trip is served up as Andy remembers all the experiences and people along the way.
