Left Off The Map is a gorgeous show about Tasmania and Tasmanians! Hosted by Master Chef’s Ben Milbourne and co-hosts Rhys Hannan and Holly Bowden, this show introduces you to interesting Tasmanians and great Tassie food… where to find it, and how to cook it.
Chef Rhys Hannan was keen to learn fly fishing because he wanted to catch a wild brown trout and take it to the top of Ben Lomond National Park to cook! And to help make this possible Trout Territory’s Gary and Fiona were excited to host Rhys on the South Esk River at Clarendon, in Tasmania’s Northern Midlands.
Rhys picked up fly casting really well and enjoyed fishing with Gary on the river. In the end it was Gary who caught a fish.
Gary and Fiona tagged along to Ben Lomond to find out what Rhys had planned for their trout, and were very impressed! On a balcony above the Ben Lomond wilderness, Rhys created a simple and delicious feast.
You can check it out too. Across two fabulous episodes, you can see Gary and Rhys in Left Off The Map on 7plus… look for episodes 11 and 12.
