Longreach

The Our Australia stories focus on a young Greek-Australian boy, Taha, who goes on a road trip with his Mum, visiting Australian regional towns and cities. On the way he learns about the people, history and geography of each place he visits. A mischievous young boy with a big imagination, Taha brings his destinations to life and has a lot of fun and laughs on his travels.

It’s a long way to Longreach, as Taha discovers of the next leg of his journey. This Queensland outback town is famous for many things, not least the farmers who are celebrated at the Stockman’s Hall of Fame, where you can have a whip-cracking lesson! Taha learns that Longreach is where QANTAS was born, that road trains aren’t really trains at all and how to make a delicious damper. He also discovers that the locals love fishing and stargazing just as much as he does.
