TLC Premieres New Episodes of 'Kate Plus 8' on Monday 4/4

On Monday, April 4 at 10pm, TLC brings back all-new episodes of KATE PLUS 8. The hour-long premiere episode follows Kate and her eight as they travel 21 hours across the globe to Australia - the longest flight they've ever taken. The Gosselins are beyond excited about ringing in 2011 in a city that celebrates the new year first - Sydney, Australia. They visit the beaches and enjoy the warm December air on the other side of the world. Kate takes a boat to the middle of the ocean in hopes of swimming next to sharks - in a cage of course - but will Kate be too scared to get in the freezing, rough water? Then, the family meets Australian aboriginals and learn about their culture - from dancing and camping to digeridoos and boomerangs, there are a lot of new experiences to be had for the Gosselins. But when it comes time to spending the night in tents, will Kate and her kids be able to sleep outside and camp out?

KATE PLUS 8 is produced by Figure 8 Films for TLC.
