Kaleb Cooper worlds away from Clarkson's Farm as he shares update from Australia
Kaleb Cooper has touched down in Australia and he's already poking fun at the new filming location that's worlds away from Diddly Squat Farm.
Kaleb Cooper has shared an update from Australia following the news he will be filming a new farming series for Prime Video.
The Clarkson’s Farm star, who rose to fame helping Jeremy Clarkson run Diddly Squat Farm in the popular Oxfordshire-based show, has now set off on his own.
Kaleb: Down Under, which has received the green light for a four-part series, will follow the farmer as he “embarks on his first solo trip to one of the world's biggest farming markets”.
Taking to Instagram, Kaleb posted a rather cheeky clip on his story about a rather rude-sounding location in Queensland, Australia.
Speaking to the camera from his car as The Killers’ Mr Brightside played, Kaleb said: “Just driven through a place called Bald Knob…

Pausing to suppress a laugh, he continued to tell his three million followers: “In Australia. Lovely place. It’s a mountain; no trees, nothing on the top.”
Bald Knob is a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, with a reported population of fewer than 300 people, according to the 2021 census.
Kaleb’s latest location update comes after Prime Video announced he would be spearheading his own programme delving into farming 'on a massive scale' early last month.
The farming contractor with a self-declared ‘borderline unhealthy obsession with Chipping Norton’ finds himself continents away from Diddly Squat in the upcoming programme, which has started production.

He previously said of the new adventure: "I spend most of my time with the most travelled man in the world, so I got brave and booked my first ever flight to see what all the fuss was about. Australia here I come!
"And Australia, you'll be gaining a new farmer for a couple of months as I discover if I can make my farming contracting business go international."
Despite his new solo project, Prime Video has announced Kaleb will still return for Clarkson's Farm season 5 next year.
Prime Video’s synopsis for Kaleb: Down Under reads: “With aspirations to grow his business, Kaleb will experience farming at a scale he's never encountered before -stretching thousands of acres across Australia's vast landscape.
“Throughout his journey, Kaleb will meet his Australian peers and immerse himself in the local culture while exploring how farmers operate in this challenging environment.
“Viewers will see Kaleb taking on new challenges that are a world away from his familiar routines in Chipping Norton.
“And it's no holiday-Kaleb won't shy away from the gritty realities of farm work while he's out there-blisters, burns, backaches and all.”
A release date for Kaleb: Down Under is yet to be announced. Clarkson’s Farm seasons 1-4 are available to stream now on Prime Video.
