Back Roads is an Australian factual television series that explores life in regional towns across the country. The observational documentary premiered on ABC on 30 November 2015.
From its debut until 2025, the program was hosted by Australian political journalist Heather Ewart. After the conclusion of Series 11, Ewart stepped down, and Lisa Millar—a recurring guest presenter since 2019—took over as host. The series also regularly features a rotating lineup of guest presenters. Season 12 is set to return on 5 March 2025.
The show’s theme song is performed by Australian singer‑songwriter Rebecca Barnard.
