The Great Outdoors is an Australian travel magazine series broadcast on the Seven Network.
The program premiered on 5 February 1993 in a 30-minute format and was broadcast on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 pm.
After suffering a gradual decline in ratings, the show moved to a new timeslot of 6:30 pm Saturdays from the 2007 season.
On 28 April 2007, the show celebrated 600 episodes,[1] making it one of the longest-running programs on Australian television.
The show did briefly return in 23 September 2012 for a revamped series with 8 episodes airing on a Saturday evening at 5pm, with the possibility of a new season in 2013 which did not eventuate.
