[edit] Information

Can Miriam find adventure and inspiration? Saying yes to life, she's on a quest to embrace her true self on Australia's sunny shores, opening her eyes to endless possibilities.

[edit] Chapter 1:

In her London home, Miriam is recovering from a recent heart procedure which has left her feeling more vulnerable. In a bid to adapt to this 'new Miriam', she returns to Australia, a place she considers her second home - and a country that, for her, still holds the promise of fun, inspiration and a better future.

Her first stop is Perth, the capital of Western Australia, where she meets a host of local characters, gets out of her comfort zone and learns from people carving their own paths to success.

[edit] Chapter 2:

Byron Bay, which sits on the easternmost point of Australia, became famous as a beacon of creativity and freedom. And now Miriam, on her quest to better herself, is keen to see if this is still a place where anything goes, if it's changing, and if indulging in all this 'freedom' does anything for the community.

Beneath the carefree exterior of the town, she learns about the issues affecting it, as well as catching up with local influencers, hippies and surfers to experience the fun and unusual activities that bring people to the area.

[edit] Chapter 3:

Miriam arrives in Broken Hill, heading into the outback town to learn how people creatively reinvent themselves in a place built on legends and traditions. As she drives into town, the famous mines are everywhere. They brought tens of thousands to the outback and built the place - but the mines are dwindling, and so is the population. It's a town ripe for reinvention and full of surprises.

Miriam checks into the iconic Palace Hotel, where The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was filmed, learns about the local community and its mining trade, joins a walking drag tour, and takes a trip to a camel farm.
