William Tyrrell was a three year old boy who disappeared from the village of Kendall, on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales.
Key facts were kept from the public, from day one. A lot of what was reported, especially early on, was false.
In the new podcast, Nowhere Child, The Australian’s Caroline Overington delves into a case where notions of class and privilege; opportunity and poverty came crashing together, to create a nightmare for William Tyrrell.

Customer Reviews
Not The Australian’s usual standard
Having listened to The Teacher’s Pet, Who the hell is Hamish and Bowraville, I was expecting something more. Presenting skills not up to scratch here - sad and monotonous tone - combined with long winded writing this detracts from what is a really interesting story.
Well told story
Gripped by this podcast. Sympathetically told, A tragic story
Not the same standard as other The Australian podcasts
I downloaded because I’d been so impressed by ‘Teachers Pet’ and ‘Who The Hell is Hammish’.
I’m only at episode one but am really struggling with this production. The journalistic standard is poor as is the interviewing and the presentation style. One of the interviews literally makes you cringe at the lack of depth of the questions and the way that the interviewee is clearly not really responding to the journalist. The obvious questions are not asked and there’s no explanation as to why those questions are not being asked.
Then there’s unfortunate slightly droning awkwardly paced forced style of delivery and worst of all, the awful background music which makes it feel overly dramatic. It’s presumably there to try and help the dull delivery but it grates and fights the story rather than enhancing. It only looses the story it’s credibility.
I’m not sure I can take listening anymore. It’s a shame as it completely dents the reputation of podcasts by The Australian.
