High Adventure with Lowell Thomas is an American TV series presented by Lowell Thomas. It ran on CBS from 1957 to 1959. Some episodes were made by the Australian producer Lee Robinson.[1]

One of these was called "Australian Outback". It involved the search for the explorer Lasseter. Robinson claimed he found Lasseter's bones. He was charged with an offence by the government but charges were dropped.[2][3]
