Backpackers (TV series)

"Backpackers" is a mixed genre travel/reality television program created by and starring buddies Mick Middleton, James Grech (JAG) and Lee Mahoney from Colac.

The show was shot on 3 cameras over a year as Middleton, Grech and Mahoney left everything behind and backpacked on a shoestring budget around Europe.

It began airing in Australia on 13th of November 2006 on Foxtel's Channel V, but had already been picked up and aired in other countries throughout the world, including; OLN Canada, C4 New Zealand and Channel V in Malaysia.Fact|date=June 2007

The program has received mixed reviews and cult recognition due to the nature in which the 3 backpackers went about making the show on small cameras and traveling on their own funds, interviewing, party and recording all the random moments that occurred throughout the trip.

Backpackers has been both criticized and praised Fact|date=July 2007 for its honest portrayal of a year of budget travel and has received a small cult base.
