Stokes Bay, Forge Creek, and Berrima

Dec 2, 2020

Adam kicks off his Road Trip for Good with a visit to one of the worst bushfire-affected areas in Australia – South Australia’s Kangaroo Island. Adam then travels to Victoria to East Gippsland, an area that has struggled with drought for the last three years. With the bushfires and now the pandemic, it’s just been blow after blow for the area. The third stop on Adam’s journey is to Berrima, in the Southern Highlands of NSW. This is a real village community that relies heavily on tourism, that fact was really highlighted during the last 12 months as it’s been a difficult time for all the town.

Mallacoota, Lobethal, and Ulladulla

Dec 9, 2020

Adam's road trip continues to the town of Mallacoota, the area that became an international symbol for the summer’s devastating bushfires. Adam’s journey continues to the area he grew up in – South Australia in the Adelaide Hills. Here he visits an old friend, local cheese maker from Udder Delights, Sheree Sullivan, who lost nearly $2 million worth of produce in the bushfires. Adam then heads to the NSW town of Ulladulla, a great base to explore the beautiful Shoalhaven area. The bushfires were devastating for the whole of the South Coast so Adam heads to Cuppitt’s Estate, a vineyard that lost all their grapes to smoke taint.

Tathra, Tallangatta, and Kingscote

Dec 16, 2020

This time Adam visits Tathra on the South Coast of NSW, a place a lot of people think is the best in the world for growing Sydney rock oysters. You’d hardly believe it but when the bushfires hit, the entire east coast of Australia was covered in a thick cloud of smoke. The next stop on Adam’s journey is Victoria, where he visits the small, rural town, Tallangatta. Mandy Crispin runs the bakery which proved to be a great refuge for all the local people evacuated in the area during the bushfires. Adam’s Road Trip for Good continues to Kangaroo Island in South Australia where he meets one of the first and biggest organic honey producers in Australia, Peter Davis. His Ligurian bees are special on Kangaroo Island because although they came from Italy, Kangaroo Island is now the only place in the world their honey is produced.

Beechworth, Hay Valley, and Batlow

Dec 23, 2020

This time on his road trip Adam is headed to the town of Beechworth in Victoria. It’s home to a two-hatted restaurant called Provenance, run by renowned chef Michael Ryan. Michael has won countless awards and accolades for his Japanese-inspired food and now in the shadow of bushfires and the pandemic, Michael is pushing one of Australia’s most decorated restaurants into bold new areas. He has developed Provenance Grocer, where he sells his homemade seasonal produce on the side. Adam's journey continues to one of the most innovative regions in the world right now, the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. Known for its avant-garde, cool-climate wines, the region’s winemakers are doing it tough. Fire tore through The Hills over summer and one local vintner, David Bowley, lost his whole vineyard.
