Poison in Paradise
Thought you were playing it safe by sticking to imported bottled alcohol in Bali? Think again. 19-year-old Australian tourist Liam Davies took every precaution against the island’s dangers, but within days of drinking a vodka soda, his parents were forced to make the agonising decision to turn off his life support. Sadly, Liam’s tragic death is by no means unique. Cheap homemade alcohol laced with the deadly substance methanol is added to mixed drinks in bars across Bali to cut costs. Sunday Night’s Ross Coulthart joins Liam’s distraught parents, Tim and Lhani, on an emotional journey back to Bali to find the truth about what happened to their boy, and to make sure those who killed him are brought to justice. And when Coulthart traces the knock-off alcohol back to its source, a filthy distillery shed in a Balinese village, you’ll reconsider your next drink in Bali.
The Bucket List
Meet four ordinary Aussie blokes who were brought together by tragedy but united in triumph. Each suffered their own devastating road accident, and each was left without the use of his legs. Now, they’re setting off on a ‘bucket list’ road trip to revisit the crash sites that changed their lives forever. During this incredible journey, each of these four friends makes an emotional pilgrimage to their own dark place. Throw in a wedding, an epic race against time and a heart-warming finish and you’ve got all the ingredients for a story that will leave you appreciating life.
Capricorn Rising
Last weekend in North Queensland, a little yellow helicopter and its courageous crew pulled off one of the most remarkable rescue missions ever attempted. In appalling weather, with flood water rising rapidly, four cars became stranded in the raging torrent. Eight terrified people clung to the roof of their vehicles – their only hope of survival lay in being plucked from above by a rescue chopper. The only way it could happen was if the Capricorn chopp
