Freddie Fries Down UnderSeason 1, Episode 6

Freddie Flintoff and his friend, writer Rob Penn, hit the Australian road for the last time as they head to Cairns. With a hurricane threatening to rain on their parade, the boys get stuck by competing against a champion white water rafter at one of the best extreme sports sites in the world. They visit Australia’s greatest natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef. But Fred is left less than impressed and not even a glamorous helicopter ride back to shore can cheer him up - especially as the storm sets in and it's a very bumpy ride. Fred milks one of the world's deadliest creatures and torments Rob with another - the box jellyfish. To finish their trip they camp out overnight in the oldest rainforest on the planet, Daintree National Park. But Freddie can't help but go out with a bang, as he serves up a final feast that they'll never forget - a bug banquet.
