Natimuk
S4, E3: Back Roads heads to the small, yet spectacular, town of Natimuk in Victoria. While Heather Ewart is off visiting another part of the country, guest presenter Paul West, a chef and food grower, is in the driver's seat. Paul grew up in the small NSW town of Murrurundi. He loved to scramble over a few rocks as a boy, but isn't prepared for the challenge he faces at 'the Rock'. Mt Arapiles or 'the Rock' as it is affectionately known is Natimuk's favourite playground and one of the most challenging climbing destinations in the world. Paul West discovers that two worlds have actually collided in Natimuk, where the community is an unlikely mix of rock climbers and German-Lutheran farmers. Paul sets out to find out how or if they get along. He also arrives in Natimuk just in time for the famous Nati Frinj festival, three days of music, silo art and snails.
