Australia – a land as massive as it is vast. And when it comes to outback adventurers they don't come any better, bigger or more reckless than Russell Coight. Winner of the prestigious Ocker Award for services to khaki shorts, Russell takes us on a unique blend of over-the-top, off-road, outback, in-your-face Aussie Adventures!

Glenn Robbins' commitment to pure idiot energy.

Deadpan narration that's somehow worse each rewatch.

Genuine outback locations, genuine fake competence.
Creator
Tom Gleisner
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Glenn Robbins improvised much of the dangerous stunts, with real injuries occurring during the 'rodeo' episode.
The character directly parodies Steve Irwin and 1980s outback survival shows, becoming more pointed after Irwin's death.

We need more Coight on television.

It is such a shame that, after all those decades of surviving the Australian Bush, poor Russel Coight was caught out by a dodgy Peri Peri at Nando's in the Surrey Hills. He will be sorely missed by all of us Bushies on the Sterling Ranges.
