Mr. Siviour is a former Port Lincoln tuna fisherman, who is looking forward to filming the fish he used to catch when he swims with the tuna today.

“Instead of being on the back of the boat killing the tuna, I’ll be swimming with them,” he said.

Mr. Siviour has returned home over the years to film news stories for Channel 10.

“It’s my first time filming a good news story here instead of fires and murders. It’s good to come back and do a positive story.”

The ‘Totally Wild’ crew arrived yesterday to film a range of stories including water buffalo at Glen-Forest Tourist Park, swimming with tuna and sea lions and cage diving with sharks.

‘Totally Wild’ has been to Eyre Peninsula before, but the crew keeps coming back because there is so much to do.

Presenter Kayla Banfield has been to Port Lincoln on holiday. “I love it here and I’m excited to share it with the viewers.”

The stories filmed this week will go to air next year.
