If this is an example of Aussie Tv, then I am glad that I don’t live down under!
It's not specifically Australian, it's probably more accurate to describe it as American as it is a Discovery channel programme. No matter which country they operate in Discovery specialise in ruining potentially decent factual programming with overly dramatic music, constant recaps/spoilers for next part, endless repetition of often inaccurate footage and worst of all the fake jeopardy storylines they insert into everything. That Alaskan rail prog was exactly the same as are countless other shows made for them.
While the footage may be of interest the production and storylines are just garbage made for people with IQ's as low as their attention span.
If you want a great example of a really interesting premise completely ruined by these hacks try to find the original few episodes of a prog called "Airplane Repo". Then watch the retarded faked nonsense they made after they ditched the genuine repo agents and apparently hired a bunch of delusional nutjobs supposedly re-creating actual events that, yeah sure, really occurred.
