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.
