Back on Track

Introduced by actor and director Simon Baker

When screen legend Jack Thompson checked himself into Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital last year, he had no idea how sick he was.

Unbeknown to Jack, his kidneys had failed and he was 48 hours away from death.

Told that he would have to go on dialysis three times a week for five hours, he realised his acting career was in jeopardy.

The film he was about to shoot was set in remote Kakadu, 250 km away from the nearest dialysis unit in Darwin.

It looked like he would have to pull out of the movie — until a big purple truck came to the rescue, a gesture of friendship and respect from the Territory's Indigenous community.

Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy & Juan

Freddy Dodge is no stranger when it comes to gold mining. With nearly 40 years of mining under his belt, he's known around the world as the "Gold Guru" and the person struggling mine owners call when they're striking out. Now he's going on the road to help struggling mine owners to hit the motherlode in Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy & Juan. To help him turnaround the operations, Freddy has teamed up with expert mechanic and fellow Gold Rush miner Juan Ibarra. At each location, the mining duo will use their knowledge of geology, prospecting, drilling and testing to get back on the paydirt. But it isn't just running their dirt faster. It's about making the operations better, and more importantly, running cheaper.
