Bishop always felt that by spending all day on the road during his original visit, he’d missed out on much of the country he rode through. Now, using his 1992 diary as a guidebook, Bishop is back on his bike, reflecting on his own personal journey as he reconnects with his 25-year-old self.

This time he’s taking plenty of breaks along the route to sample the delights of Australia, meeting extraordinary people and experiencing some true natural wonders as he discovers how this stunning country has changed.

John Bishop’s Australia airs from Sunday, 5 April at 17:00 on BBC Knowledge, channel 184 on DStv.
