About This Program

The programme is an episode that follows the adventures of two protagonists, Alan and Salty. It presents a compact, action‑driven story set against the stark contrast of Australian wilderness, moving from dense rainforest to scorching desert. In the heart of the Cape York rainforest, Alan and Salty are on a quest for gold. Their search quickly turns perilous as they find themselves under fire from gunmen and threatened by lurking crocodiles. The duo must navigate these immediate dangers while keeping their goal in sight, creating a tense race against both human and animal foes. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the episode, a group of Brumbies—wild Australian horses—are shown sprinting across the desert. Their frantic dash is driven by the need to outrun the relentless heat, adding a parallel thread of survival against the elements. The episode weaves these two storylines together, juxtaposing the jungle’s hidden threats with the open desert’s unforgiving temperatures. By following Alan and Salty’s gold‑seeking venture alongside the Brumbies’ desperate sprint, the narrative highlights the varied hazards that the Australian landscape can present, from bullets and crocodiles to blistering heat.
