Great Southern Landscapes

Art lover and actor Rachel Griffiths explores iconic landscapes and the untold personal, social and cultural stories behind them.

After the tremendous success of Finding the Archibald, Rachel Griffiths has once again teamed up with Mint Pictures to present the illuminating six-part series Great Southern Landscapes. This time, Rachel trades famous portraits for iconic landscapes in an entertaining fusion of art, social history, and travel.

Packing up her boots and backpack, she heads across the country to find the exact spots where famous artists placed their easels and cameras to capture their interpretations of iconic landscapes. Along the way, she meets people from all walks of life who help unlock the hidden secrets of the works.

Each episode celebrates a renowned artist and one of their works, including Arthur Streeton, Clarice Beckett, John Olsen, Narelle Autio and Albert Namatjira.

While the destination – standing on the exact spot where the artist stood to capture that vista – is the payoff at the end of each episode, it’s the journeys there that are the most revealing.
