History Series / AllAussieAdventures

* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: Subverted in a RunningGag, since Russell invariably does kill something. The credits will later tell us that no animal was ''intentionally'' hurt in the making of the program, or something equally un-reassuring. The DVD boxes gi even informs us that, "No more than six animals were injured in the making of this program." In universe, this is definitely an understatement. The third season's DVD box gives us "Luckily no animals were harmed in the making of this series. [[ImmediateSelfContradiction Apart from]] several dozen marsupials, quite a few birds and a dog called Reg." (Which oddly doesn't include a tree frog that he accidentally killed because it was camouflaged.)

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: An episode of the 2018 series introduces Russell's 23-year-old niece Chrissie, an up-and-coming actor and presenter whose (mostly innocent) list of credits includes "Prostitute #4 in ''Series/{{Underbelly}}'' 3". This detail becomes a lot squickier if you know that ''Underbelly'''s third season, ''The Golden Mile'', which does indeed focus partially on prostitution, would have been filmed when she was about ''15''.

* BlatantLies: Russell's narration frequently contradicts what we just saw, most commonly in the roadside assistance bits: "Problem solved."

* AscendedFanboy: Aiden in "Rogue Croc".

* EpicFail: A few of Russell's screw-ups qualify, in particular when he tries to unlock a car door and somehow pulls the whole door off.

* MistakenAge: In "Rogue Croc", Russell responds to a fan-letter and invites the fan in question, Aidan, to join him on his trip that week, clearly expecting a teenager. It turns out to be Aidan Fennessy, a well known and experienced stage actor & writer.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere

After being off the air for almost 13 years, the show will be returning for a third season in 2017.

* DontTryThisAtHome: Shows up several times in the credits - while this would normally be to make the point that the host is a qualified professional, it instead makes the point that even the producers think Russell is dangerously incompetent. For example: "The use of diesel fuel to start a campfire is not recommended unless you want a really ''big'' campfire." In one case, it shows up during the actual episode, during Russell's botch demonstration of applying a pressure bandage after a snake bite.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Happens to Russell a couple of times.

* TheBlindLeadingTheBlind: Aside from a few episodes where Russell tries to instruct tourists or other traveling companions, there are scenes where Russell tries to get advice on-camera from
