Popular travel and lifestyle show Going Places with Ernie Dingo will return for a sixth season on National Indigenous Television (NITV), SBS and SBS On Demand from Thursday 31 October at 7.30pm, with new episodes premiering weekly.

From Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef to Mt Isa's world-famous rodeo country, there are always more stories to tell, with wonderful people to tell them. I hope people at home might find a new location to add to their travel list, thanks to our show.
NITV's Acting Head of Indigenous Commissions and Production, Adam Manovic, said: Going Places with Ernie Dingo continues to be a much-loved program for NITV and SBS audiences and we're so proud that the program is now in its sixth season.
