Viewers will also see Kate attempting to swim with sharks, while the whole family will meet Australian aboriginals and learn about their culture and everyday life, which includes dancing and camping.

Gosselin arrived in Australia with twins Mady and Cara and sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah at the end of December, and visited cities including Brisbane and Adelaide. The group also travelled to New Zealand during their vacation.
