Adventurer and naturalist Steve Backshall will bring his brand-new show OCEANS to venues across the nation - including Bendigo, Ballarat and Geelong.
Following his 2022 sold-out tour of the UK, Steve Backshall, the star of ABC TV’s hit TV series “Deadly 60” is returning to Australia with his brand-new show “OCEAN”, touring 18 venues across Australia from December 2022.
OCEAN is a love letter to the most exciting environment on our planet – and a great way to learn more about what we need to do to save our seas. Using stunts, experiments, props, cutting-edge science plus big screen footage from his two decades in TV, Steve will bring the icons of the Big Blue to life.
Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region here.
“Australia has been my second home over the last two decades! The wildlife on your sublime wild continent is 2nd to none. And as a giant island surrounded by seas, it’s the perfect place for my Ocean tour,” says Steve Backshall.
“The tour will bring marine dreams to life, with life-size ocean Giants on stage, stunts, tricks, and glorious visuals. If you’re into our seas and all the things that live there, then this is the show for you!”
The tour will kick off in Perth on December 28 and 29, and take to Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Cairns, Rockhampton, Caloundra, Frankston, Melbourne, Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Canberra, Rooty Hill, Wyong, and Newcastle, before finishing up in Chatswood on January 29 2023.
From Great whites to Great whales; seals to sardine shoals; this is a fantastic opportunity for all the family to dive deep into the wonderful world beneath the waves.
Naturalist Steve Backshall is best known for BBC Earth children’s TV show Deadly 60, in which he tracks down the world’s most dangerous animals. He is an author, expedition leader, naturalist, wildlife expert and a fearless presenter. Having travelled the world to learn about the most inspiring predators, Steve has swum with sharks, been bitten by a caiman, squirted with ink by Humboldt squid, flirted with a tarantula, charged by elephants, and stared out by thresher and great hammerhead sharks, but still maintains that wild animals pose no threat to people – in fact quite the opposite.
