Synopsis
Dirty Jobs Season 9 — watch online on iFILM — is the short one: just four episodes from 2012, all shot in Australia. Mike Rowe swaps the usual American grime for the other side of the world.
Think of it as a single trip rather than a grab bag of gigs. Rowe first lives and hunts with Aboriginal communities on the northern coast whose way of life goes back tens of thousands of years. From there he bags a venomous eastern brown snake, joins the local war on invasive cane toads, hauls wild crocodiles out of the Adelaide River, then helps a scientist study what's in their stomachs. The closer drops the crew deep in the Outback with opal miners, where heat and broken gear nearly end the shoot.
It's the most expedition-like stretch of the show: less household muck, more genuine danger. Stream Dirty Jobs Season 9 online on iFILM.

Lost in Aboriginal Land

Deadly Snake Wrangler
In Australia, Mike Rowe teams up with local business "Snakes Away" to capture a poisonous Eastern brown snake without getting bitten, then joins a posse of local "toadbusters" in their war against the cane toad, a non-indigenous species destroying the local ecosystem.

Journey to Croc Country
Mike journeys down the Adelaide River to capture one of Australia's most deadly creatures: the crocodile. Then, after wrestling the wild crocs into the boat, he helps a scientist pump their stomachs and study their vomit.

Outback Treasure Hunter
Mike and his crew travel deep into the Australian Outback to strike it rich with a group of opal miners. And then, with this already a dirty adventure with dangerous work and extreme temperatures, production is almost brought to a halt by a fly infestation.
