About
<p>In May 1962, <a href="https://www.luckystarr.com.au/" target="_blank">Lucky Starr</a> released a song called <b>I've Been Everywhere</b>. In the somewhat novelty lyrics, a hitchhiker tells a truck driver all the places he's been to in Australia.</p><p>Over 60 years later, the song remains an Aussie icon but what do we know of the towns and cities that are mentioned?</p><p>Time to find out in <b>The I've Been Everywhere Project</b>!</p><p>In this 95-episode podcast series, hosted by <a href="https://www.neilbutler.com.au/" target="_blank">Neil Butler</a> and produced by <a href="https://www.vora.au" target="_blank">Voices Of Regional Australia</a>, we'll chat to Lucky and then head off to every single town he mentions in the song - from Oodnadatta in South Australia to Wollondilly in New South Wales. We'll chat to a local and find out where the town or suburb is and what it's famous for - apart from being mentioned in <b>I've Been Everywhere</b>.</p>
