Filming for an episode of a popular travel show on Australian TV called ‘The Great Outdoors’ took place at various locations in County Roscommon last week. The production is supported by Tourism Ireland and Fáilte Ireland.
Set to air this summer on the Seven Network, a major TV network in Australia, the special Ireland episode will showcase outdoor experiences, breathtaking landscapes and warm hospitality to an audience of around one million viewers across Australia.
The TV crew, including Australian TV presenter James Tobin, filmed at numerous locations such as Lough Key Forest & Activity Park, Kilronan Castle and on the River Shannon.
Sofia Hansson, Tourism Ireland’s Manager for Australia and New Zealand, said: “Tourism Ireland was delighted to invite Australian TV presenter James Tobin and The Great Outdoors crew to come and film on our beautiful island. It’s a wonderful opportunity to highlight our fantastic outdoor activities and spectacular scenery to around one million Australians, inspiring them to come and experience the destination for themselves.”
