Featuring: Rodeo & Sawfish is the third episode of the first season of the Australian children's television series, Bushwhacked!. Hosts, Brandon Walters and Kayne Tremills, travel across Australia to explore and encounter the country's unique wildlife and cultural experiences.

In this episode, the two hosts head to the Northern Territory to take part in one of the most iconic Australian events, a rodeo. The boys travel to the remote community of Daly River to meet local cowboys and cowgirls, compete in some rodeo events, and learn how to muster cattle.

After experiencing the rodeo, Kayne and Brandon head to the waters of the Northern Territory to learn about lesser-known creatures, the sawfish. Known as the 'proto-dragon', sawfish are a prehistoric looking species that live in the murky waters of Australia's northern coastline.

The episode offers a great blend of cultural experiences and wildlife encounters. The rodeo section is a action-packed, fast-paced segment, showcasing the boys running around the rodeo grounds, competing in barrel racing, and even attempting to ride some bulls. The event is filled with commentary on rodeo traditions and skills, the grit and determination required to participate, and the importance of community and working as a team.

The wildlife section of the show offers a more serene and educational counterbalance to the rodeo. The choppy, blue waters of the Northern Territory harbor a diverse range of marine species, with the sawfish being one of the most unique. Kayne and Brandon explore the murky waters in search of the sawfish, who seem to lurk just below the surface. As always, the show features close-up shots of the animals, giving viewers an up-close and personal view of these magnificent creatures.

The duo's visit to Daly River is both educational and heartwarming. They speak with local cowboys and cowgirls who share their knowledge and experiences, and also teach the boys some cowboy skills, including how to ride horses and herd cattle. The hosts comment on the importance of cowboy culture to the community and how the Daly River rodeo serves not only as an opportunity to showcase cowboy skills but also as a significant social gathering for the remote town.

Overall, Featuring: Rodeo & Sawfish is a well-balanced episode that showcases unique aspects of Australia's landscape and wildlife. The action-packed rodeo segments are beautifully balanced with the calm and informative segments showcasing the sawfish. The episode also highlights the importance of community and traditions in rural Australia. Fans of the show will not be disappointed with this episode and it's sure to impress new viewers too.
