Find and Tell is the search for the next generation of Australian storytellers. Think of it like one of those TV talent shows... but without the singing and spinning chairs.

After a nation-wide search and hundreds of entries, four diverse Australians have been selected, trained, and set free to Find and Tell unique and interesting stories from around the country.

Join host Jamila Rizvi and the best up and coming storytellers Australia has to offer as they go head-to-head competing to give you the best story – one storyteller will take home the grand prize and be crowned the Find And Tell champion.

Follow along each Wednesday.

Australia is home to more than 150 “big things”, from the Big Prawn to the Big Merino. We meet Melanie Tait, heiress to NSW’s Big Potato, and learn how her family saved it from devastation.

Heading on a road trip isn’t the same for every Australian. Sometimes poor accessibility limits opportunities for blind or low-vision people to hit the open road. We talk to a tour guide who is using every sensory input to create a rich road trip experience for blind and low-vision travelers.
