WIN THE WORK LIFE BATTLE

Cast and Crew

Our host is the lovable Ernie Dingo. Ernie's spent over 17 years working on travel shows and there's nothing he feels more passionately about than a good old Aussie holiday, so who could be better suited to the job of making people take a break and showing them around Australia?

Each week, Ernie Dingo asks some of his mates to stand in and help make sure nothing falls apart whilst a hard working Aussie takes a break. Once they're on holiday a few more of Ernie's mates drop in to help make sure our lucky worker has a holiday they'll never forget.
