About this episode

The Behind the Story Series was designed to accompany the regular story episodes and provide more information about the places the goops travel to.

While writing for Episode 81, I found out so many interesting things about the Ghan Luxury Train, the Australian Outback and wildlife in the area. Are you curious to find out what I learned?

If you have any questions you would like me to answer in a future episode visit gooptales.com and let me know.
