This new collection of adventures moves from his home in the Northern Territory to the jungles of Borneo to the rivers of the Congo. Follow Matt as he tracks down a monster croc in the Congo, relocates fifty saltwater crocodiles over state borders in the space of a few days, rescues elephants and orangutans (and two giant snakes) in Borneo and spends time at home with his pet crocodile Tripod, and gain some behind-the-scenes insights into the making of some of Outback Wrangler's most intense moments.
Told with wit, candour and a hit of adrenaline that makes you feel like you're riding shotgun in Matt's chopper, Outback Adventures is a ripping collection of unforgettable experiences from a remarkable Australian.

Person
As an adult his career path has seen him tackle a range of jobs that require both nerves of steel and a practical can-do attitude. He has spent time as an outback musterer (horse wrangler), oil rig worker, soldier in the Australian Army, crocodile egg collector and more recently a professional chopper pilot and instructor. Today, Matt's passions and unique skill set have turned into a career as a wildlife re-locator; tracking down, capturing and transporting a diverse range of dangerous animals including crocodiles, wild buffalo and even Polar Bears. His objective is based on the preservation of wildlife: to remove and relocate problem animals rather than kill.
Working in a specific junction between the world of the wild and the world of humans, Matt's moto is: any animal, anywhere, any time and he has plied his unique trade all over Australia as well as North America. As a chopper pilot Matt is able to access areas that would otherwise be impossible to reach; as a conservationist he brings a unique practical skills set and a perspective based on hands-on experience and a genuine compassion.
Matt works closely with scientists, wildlife management authorities, indigenous elders (traditional land owners) and cattle station owners to ensure a win/win situation for both the animals at hand as well as the humans that need his help. Matthew Wright's first series aired globally on Nat Geo WILD at the end of 2011 and start of 2012 and is now in development of his second series.
