Bushwhacked!
Bushwhacked! Weaves adventure, travel, food, wildlife, history, and culture as Kayne Tremills goes on the adventure of a lifetime with Indigenous co-hosts Brandon Walters in Series 1 and Kamil Ellis in Series 2 and 3.
Chasing down dangerous spiders, killer sharks, and venomous snakes, as well as friendly penguins, loveable turtles, a cantankerous cassowary, or spotting the extremely rare Albino kangaroo, amongst other unique and endangered native Australian animals, the boys are constantly kept on their toes. And adventure is always calling as they challenge each other to death-defying experiences by rock climbing, sky diving or hurtling down a steep sand dune on a board to get to their mission.
Travelling to stunning locations from the Ningaloo Reef and Fitzroy River in Western Australia to Uluru and Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory, and to the tropical beauty of Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef, Bushwhacked! Is a high-octane, adventure-fueled wildlife-based series for the whole family.

The Bushwhacked! Australian Flora and Fauna Resource was developed by Samantha Doggett (Teacher, Serpell Primary School)
“I have been working this term on the new program Bushwhacked! This has been a wonderful series that Grade 1 children have thoroughly enjoyed. This series would easily attract all primary school years from Foundation to Grade 6. They have gained extensive knowledge about Australian animals, landscape and Indigenous traditions.”
Bushwhacked! can be enjoyed by a wide range of age groups, from middle-primary to middle-secondary, and is a valuable resource for a large range of curriculum areas, including English, Science, The Arts (Media), Humanities (Geography) and the cross-curriculum priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures and Sustainability.
Included in the Bushwhacked! Series 1 Resource are brief synopses of each episode, so that teachers can view them either in order or in groups that support their classroom program.
This resource provides some ideas for discussions and activities relating to the series as a whole, including examples from episodes, which can be used before and after each episode is viewed.
In each episode of Bushwhacked! Series 2, an important message about ecosystems is explored. The Bushwhacked! Series 2 Resource harnesses those messages to inspire a greater awareness in students of Australia’s unique Indigenous people, their culture and their relationship with the land.
This resource highlights discussion topics and provides activities for teachers to use in their middle-primary to middle-secondary classroom.
The discussion topics and activities included in this resource are aligned with content, knowledge and skills in the Australian Curriculum areas of English, Science, The Arts (Media), Humanities (Geography) and the Cross-Curriculum Priorities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures and Sustainability.
