About This Program ✦
Hunting for Family Heirlooms is a single‑episode programme that blends a treasure‑hunt premise with a light‑hearted, on‑the‑ground approach. The show follows two pairs of participants as they set out to uncover items of personal significance, each team working in a distinct Australian locale. In the first segment, Michael and Max turn their attention to a house in suburban Sydney, combing through the property in search of family heirlooms that have been concealed beneath the floorboards. Their task is to locate whatever valuables have been hidden away over the years. Meanwhile, in the capital’s hinterland, Camille and Hannah head to a ghost town on the outskirts of Canberra, where they aim to discover remnants of the abandoned settlement that lie close to the city’s edge. The episode juxtaposes the quiet, residential environment of Sydney with the desolate, historic atmosphere of the Canberra ghost town, offering viewers two very different backdrops for the same kind of hunt. By following both teams, the programme highlights how the pursuit of lost objects can take place in both familiar neighbourhoods and remote, almost forgotten places, all within a single, concise broadcast.
Treasure Hunters Down Under broadcasts on Quest at 12:00am, Sunday, 8 February 2026.
