Opal Hunters Red Dirt Road Trip, Episode 2

Record-breaking floods block Rod and JC on the first leg of their road trip. Plus, JC is taught how to make explosives, and mine with them by local legends, the Bomb Kings.

Rod and JC battle extreme weather and steep terrain as they search for sapphires. Then, the duo undertakes a huge fishing expedition: hunting the mythical Tassie Tiger.

Rod and JC get a painful lesson while mining in the hot and hostile Andamooka. Then, they provide an urgently needed airdrop of supplies to flood-ravaged farmers.

Stuck in Andamooka with a broken-down vehicle and little money, Rod, and JC hit rock bottom. And, a final opal sale decides whether they can continue their road trip.

While in Queensland, Rod musters over 200 pregnant cows for cash. Plus, a financial bombshell from home forces JC to double his earnings goal for the trip.

With only a week before JC must return home for the birth of his first child, Rod has planned numerous money-making schemes. Can they reach their new $20,000 target?
