Fans of classic cars, high-risk deals and motor shows have a new must-watch series arriving on BLAZE. Outback Wreckers makes its UK debut on Tuesday 19th May at 2:05pm and again at 9pm.
If you enjoy shows like Junk & Disorderly, this Australian take delivers the same passion for vehicles, just on a bigger, tougher scale!
What is Outback Wreckers about?
Set against the vast and unforgiving Australian landscape, Outback Wreckers follows dedicated teams hunting down abandoned vehicles scattered across the huge country.
What looks like scrap to most, is serious business here. These crews travel thousands of kilometres across deserts, farms and remote communities, searching for rare finds they can salvage, restore or break down for profit.
Each episode features multiple teams operating in different regions, all chasing the same goal: turning rust into revenue. But it’s not straightforward. Tight margins, brutal terrain and long-distance hauls mean every deal is a gamble.
The first episode, Diamonds in the Rust, sets the scene with a high-stakes 3,200-kilometre haul in the Kimberley, a risky alpine recovery in Victoria, and a dream car deal in Queensland –all hinging on whether hidden gems can outweigh the costs!
Why transport and motoring fans should watch Outback Wreckers
Outback Wreckers is an easy watch for anyone who enjoys practical, hands-on motoring shows.
You can expect:
- Classic cars and rare finds - from forgotten pickups to sought-after vintage models
- Long-distance recovery jobs - hauling vehicles across deserts, farms and remote regions
- Real deals and real risk - buying, selling and breaking vehicles where profit is never guaranteed
- Straight-talking characters - experienced crews who know their trade and get on with the job
It has the same appeal as UK scrapyard and restoration series, but with bigger distances, tougher conditions and higher stakes. Across the series, everything from old Toyotas and Ford classics to Holden saloons and motorbikes passes through the yards, all bought and moved under pressure to turn a profit.
