Opal Hunters Red Dirt Road Trip

Floods block Rod and JC on the first leg of their road trip; JC is taught how to make explosives and mine with them by local legends, the Bomb Kings.

Rod and JC battle extreme weather and steep terrain as they search for sapphires; the duo undertakes the huge expedition of hunting the mythical Tassie Tiger.

Rod and JC get a painful lesson while mining in the hot and hostile Andamooka; they provide an urgently needed airdrop of supplies to flood-ravaged farmers.

Stuck in Andamooka, Australia, with a broken-down vehicle and little money, Rod and JC hit rock bottom; a final opal sale decides whether they can continue their road trip.

While in Queensland, Australia, Rod musters over 200 pregnant cows for cash; a financial bombshell from home forces JC to double his earnings goal for the trip.

A week before JC must return home for the birth of his first child, Rod plans numerous money-making schemes.
