The much loved travel series Going Places with Ernie Dingo returns for its seventh season, continuing its celebration of culture, community and Country across Australia.


Premiering on SBS and SBS On Demand on Friday February 20 at 7.30pm, before airing on NITV on Thursday February 26 at 7.30pm, the new season sees Wiradjuri woman Rae Johnston back on the road alongside proud Yamatji man Ernie Dingo and Nyikina man Mark Coles Smith. Joining the hosting lineup this season is Noongar Yamatji woman Brooke Blurton, bringing fresh energy and perspective to the journey.

Filmed on Country and guided by local communities, each episode focuses on a single destination across Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia and the Northern Territory. The series highlights Indigenous knowledge and lived experience, inviting audiences to explore Australia through the eyes of the people who call these places home.

Blending travel, storytelling and connection, the new season continues the show’s mission to showcase the deep links between place, culture and community while encouraging viewers to slow down and see the country in a new way.
