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.

Led by Australian icon and proud Yamatji man, Ernie Dingo, the 12-episode season unearths and explores stunning locations and activities across Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and the Northern Territory. Audiences will meet Indigenous peoples and local legends, who reveal surprising and inspiring Australian stories.

Gold Logie-nominated actor Mark Coles Smith (Mystery Road: Origin, Keeping Hope) joins Ernie for the first time this season, along with returning presenters Aaron Fa'Aoso, Bianca Hunt and Rae Johnston.

Host, Ernie Dingo, said: Travel is one of my many passions and it's a joy to work with the team on another new season. 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. Ernie's conversational and laid-back interview style gives an intimate portrait of each of the places he visits, and we're thrilled to have Mark Coles Smith join the team for season 6.
