The Seven Network today announced the return of The Great Outdoors, with a reimagined version of the much-loved series set to showcase the best of Australian and international travel. 

Set to premiere at 7.00pm on Saturday, 5 October on Channel 7 and 7plus, The Great Outdoors taps the nation's enduring wanderlust, with new presenters James Tobin, Phil Burton, Teigan Nash, Kimberley Busteed, Lee Carseldine and Chris Parsons offering a glimpse into the world's most unique experiences from our own backyard and across the world.
