What happens

Travelcade is an Australian travel documentary series that was produced in Townsville, North Queensland. It debuted on 21 July 1990 and ran regularly through the 1990s, on Australian television. It was one of the first Australian travel shows produced and was a breakthrough for local production at a time when regional and Australian television series were at a minimum. Travelcade was unique at the time in that it was a sort of pictorial current affairs program – as opposed to a straight documentary – that had a news angle, featuring the cultural, historical, environmental and social impacts in addition to the in-depth interviews with the locals and characters of the destination.
