ABC has renewed its summer series Back Roads will return for a second season.

Created by the ABC’s regional division, and presented by Heather Ewart, Back Roads featured remote communities in Ceduna in South Australia, Derby in Western Australia, Birchip and Yackandandah in Victoria, Winton and Karumba in Queensland, the Clarence River region in New South Wales and Queenstown in Tasmania.

Richard Finlayson, Director of ABC Television, said,  “Our goal is to be the home of Australian conversations and stories and our heartland audience will be delighted that Back Roads is on the road for season two.”

Fiona Reynolds, ABC Regional Director, said, “We’ve been overwhelmed with the response to the show, not only from regional Australians but our city cousins too.

“The ABC and its teams are committed to sharing regional stories, locally as well as nationally. We’ll never run out of tales to tell. There are just so many back roads to explore!”

Heather Ewart added, “It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to shine a light on the resilience of country towns and their characters. I look forward to continuing the journey with the Back Roads team this year”.

The 2016 season will air on ABC later this year.
