Getaway is Australia's longest-running travel television program. Debuting on 14 May 1992, it is currently broadcast on the Nine Network and TLC. Its main competitor was The Great Outdoors on the Seven Network until 2009.
A New Zealand version of the program, with some local content, was previously broadcast on TV One and Prime TV.
The first season only looked at only Australian resorts and locations, but by 1993 had expanded to look at overseas destinations.
Getaway won a People's Choice Award in 1994 and an Australian Tourism Award for Excellence in the Media in 1995.
Getaway has also been nominated for the Most Popular Lifestyle Program Logie Award at the Logie Awards of 2003, 2004 and 2005, each time being beaten by Backyard Blitz. It was also nominated at the Logie Awards of 1999 and nominated as the Favourite Lifestyle Program at the Australian People Choice Awards of 1999.

in your best friend's car
knocked on my door about five thirty
nursing a broken heart
still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your
jacket on
back door's oben baby - I don't lock it
we can leave anytime we want
I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
I never planned to stay
getaway - ya know it's now or never
getaway - nobody lives forever
we're only waitin' just to make you getaway
hey baby we were good together
seemed like you'd always be my girl
but looking back now we were just too clever
thinking love could change the world
ya know there's no point in waitin' hesitating
we gotta leave today
