Episode 4: Australia – Northern Territory

Expect the unexpected on this tour of the Northern Territory. Starting off at the heart of Australia, Uluru, Adam visits a Vietnamese garden oasis in the middle of the desert, calls in on a butcher who fishes for perch in his backyard, and meets an outback chef who makes him a special set of knives with the steel forge in his backyard. He finds the prospect of butchering a crocodile quite confronting during this adventure, but soon embraces the task and scores a fillet to use in a prawn and crocodile laksa. During a day out on the magnificent waters of Nitmiluk Gorge, Adam nets a barramundi, which he cooks up at a breathtaking spot in front of Edith Falls.
