HOME AND AWAY HEADS TO WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND YOU COULD JOIN THEM WITH 5

Iconic Australian drama set to film massive storyline in Western Australia. 5 and Tourism Western Australia announce exciting competition for UK audiences with travel and exclusive behind the scenes access.   

For the first time in its 37-year history, Home and Away is heading west – with an ambitious, high-stakes storyline set to be filmed against the stunning natural beauty of Western Australia.   

In partnership with Tourism Western Australia, this special Home and Away event will see the show trade the familiar sands of Summer Bay for the vast and varied landscapes of WA – from cosmopolitan Perth to its rugged coastline and expansive red outback. Filming will take place in October at several locations across the state.   

While storyline and casting details are being kept tightly under wraps, producers promise that Western Australia will take centre stage.   

To celebrate this event, 5 and Tourism Western Australia are giving one lucky UK winner and their guest a chance to visit West Australia’s Coral Coast in October, spending 8-nights discovering the Dream State.   

Ethan Browne, who plays Tane Parata in the series, says: “We’re stoked to be heading across to beautiful Western Australia for Home and Away’s first time ever this October. It’s awesome to be able to bring one of our UK fans along for the ride, too! We can’t wait to see one of you there!”   

Anneke Brown, Tourism Western Australia Managing Director said: “We know Home and Away has a loyal following in the United Kingdom, which is our largest international visitor market, and Tourism Western Australia is thrilled to get behind a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for one lucky fan and a friend.”   

Home and Away Series Producer, Lucy Addario, said: “Our cast and crew are beyond excited to be filming in Western Australia – a first for Home and Away. Its awe-inspiring beauty, diverse landscapes and sheer scale make it the perfect backdrop for this huge storyline. Working with the Tourism Western Australia team has been an absolute joy and we can’t wait for audiences to fall in love with WA like we have.”   

Over the 8-night trip, the 5 competition winner and their guest will fly direct to Perth, Australia’s sunniest capital city, where they will take part in an Aboriginal cultural experience on arrival before exploring the city. Then they will head to World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park to snorkel in one of the world’s longest fringing reefs; swim alongside dancing manta rays; and hike the glorious Cape Range National Park. They will then head behind the scenes on Home and Away’s West Australia Set.
