Richie Strahan from the highly successful first season of The Bachelorette Australia is set to return to television screens in the new season of The Bachelor Australia, continuing his quest to find true love.

The modest, endearing and intelligent Bachelor – whose hobbies include motorcycle riding, fishing, surfing, camping and playing Australian Rules – is ready to fully immerse himself in this exciting and challenging new opportunity.

Describing himself as a genuine Aussie bloke, Richie is looking for an easy-going, down-to-earth woman who loves life, has a great sense of humour and is comfortable in her own skin.

Richie will treat a bevy of beautiful, witty and intelligent bachelorettes to a series of extravagant dates – from a suspended “love platform” over a cliff top to a romantic candlelit dinner in a forest.

“I’m ready for this. I’m prepared to go through this crazy process again and I’m hoping one of these girls is the one for me,” Richie said.

“I guarantee the dates will be incredibly fun. The girls will be laughing the whole time they are with me.”
