About This Program

The show is a television programme presented as a single episode, starring Jacqui Buzetti and Andrew Leahy. It follows the two presenters as they take part in a hands‑on adventure that pits them against some of Australia’s most formidable wildlife. In this instalment, Jacqui and Andrew venture into waters teeming with crocodiles while hunting for hidden nuggets. Their quest sees them navigating the dangerous currents and keeping a wary eye on the predators that lurk beneath the surface, all in the hope of uncovering the precious finds. Meanwhile, the Desert Diggers – a team of specialist operators – switch on their one‑of‑a‑kind dry blower. This unusual piece of equipment is designed to move large quantities of dry material without the need for water, making it particularly suited to the arid terrain they work in. The episode showcases the contrast between the watery, crocodile‑filled chase and the stark, dust‑filled environment where the dry blower is put to work. By juxtaposing these two distinct challenges, the programme gives viewers a clear picture of the varied techniques and tools employed in remote Australian settings.
