A nature lover, gaming nerd and keen home cook, the proudly gay Charles is researching how algae might combat climate change.

Since the last series Charles has completed his master’s degree and embarked on a PhD, marched across Sydney Harbour Bridge as part of World Pride, and invested in a new hotpot! This time round he’s willing to try some new approaches to finding someone.

Also making a return in 68-year-old farmer Di who says being a transgender lesbian in country Tamworth has never been an issue, and she’s determined not give up on her quest to meet the right woman.

Since last year Di’s been named the town’s Outstanding Community Woman, now she is bracing herself for what she feels could be her last throw of the dice on the dating scene.

“I just want someone to go and have fun, travel, live life.” Di says during the first episode of the new season. I’m running out of time to find the love of my life.”

The series is filled with euphoric moments, elements of heartbreak and we also get to find out what happened to some of the participants from the first series too.
