    Hidden Valley

    Internet access might be something city dwellers take for granted. In town camps and remote communities across Australia, just sending an email isn’t always straight forward. In this episode we visit Hidden Valley, a town camp in Alice Springs. While Hidden Valley struggles with satellite internet, the Alice Springs suburbs just across the road have new fibre optic connections. This is the latest chapter in Hidden Valley’s long struggle for local infrastructure.

    Wrong Story

    Information spreads quickly online and so does misinformation. The early days of the internet were an optimistic time but today people talk more about fake news than the information superhighway. Online misinformation touches every community; in this episode we look at the way it spreads in indigenous communities and how a history of colonisation makes the problem worse.
