Fifteen years ago, Englishman Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, embarked on an experiment in sustainability and self-sufficiency. He moved to a cottage on a small land-holding in Dorset and set about learning how to grow his own produce, raise livestock and... become part of a community where sharing not only knowledge, but the fruits of farm labour, were an important part of life.
Now, Hugh is ready to take that experiment in downshifting and the message of sustainability Down Under. In River Cottage Australia, Hugh hands the River Cottage baton to Australian counterpart and Tasmanian chef, Paul West, who faces new challenges as he attempts to set up his own farm near the historic and picturesque village of Central Tilba on the NSW Far South Coast.
Hugh travels to meet Paul at River Cottage Australia; a former dairy farm nestled between the pristine Sapphire Coast and the imposing Mount Gulaga a sacred place of huge significance for the indigenous Yuin people.
Hugh and Paul map out a sustainable plan for the future, discover fantastic bounty as they forage locally for food and share the products of their culinary skills with the locals, who try to help them overcome the challenges of living off the land.
It's up to Paul to make a go of it without Hugh to guide him. He learns how to dish up whatever he's grown, reared or caught and stocks the farm with chickens, pigs and cows, establishes vegetable gardens, hunts for wild food, and learns the secrets of bush tucker.
What new challenges will the Australian environment bring? What will Hugh find when he returns at the end of the first series to check on his protg's progress? The River Cottage ethos of respect and knowledge of the land and its produce doesn't just put good food on the table it makes great viewing as well.
