Australia's Deadliest Destinations

Chilling stories of assault and escape, from deadly jellyfish attacks to amazing stories of survival in the Australian snow.

We journey this time to areas of the continent that draw more lightning than almost any other region on earth, and introduces viewers to such lethal fauna as The Great White Shark, Tasmanian Devils, and Cassowaries; it also glimpses Darwin's death-defying crocodile trappers at work.

Greg returns to the Great Barrier Reef, where sublime natural beauty combines with fierce predators, including ferocious tiger sharks, paralyzing box jellyfish and toxic cone shells. That most mysterious of Australian species: the platypus, the only mammal that lays eggs instead of giving birth to live young is also checked out. All the while, Grainger provides insightful and energetic commentary.
