Regional news highlights from across Australia

From Broken Hill to Broome, Townsville to Tasmania, our regional TV networks have been capturing the essence of Australia for decades.

As part of our Newscaf Television News and Current Affairs Program, which began in 1988, we're delighted to bring you this collection showcasing some of the weird, wonderful and significant stories from regional and remote areas of the country.

This collection is an uplifting reminder of how regional TV news can highlight our culture and diversity, and the importance of having a local voice through which to tell our everyday stories.

WARNING: this collection may contain names, images or voices of deceased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
