Well, The Crime Couch has gone outback and recently I caught up with ABC Broken Hill journalist Bill Ormonde in the remote town. 

Bill's a former Nine reporter and video journalist and was named the 2024 Young Australian Journalist of the Year at last year's Walkley Awards.

He also won the Visual Story-Telling category in the awards for "Out of the Darkness", an interactive online story that explored mental health in remote Australia. The talented young journalist talks with me about covering police and crime stories and the challenges of working remotely.

Contains Snappy @2021 performed Jonathan Boyle with music written by Jonathan Boyle, courtesy of Premium Beat.

Post-production by Rob Johnson from On Replay www.onreplay.com.au and acknowledgement to Stephen Peters for his assistance and support.
