Untold Territory
by Megan Coutts and Toni Tapp Coutts
Often considered the 'Wild West' of Australia, the Northern Territory has more characters than the Oxford Dictionary. Most of them have never had their story told. Until Now! Real stories from the Northern Territory, Australia. Hosted by Mother and Daughter duo: Toni Tapp Coutts and Megan Coutts - aka Mum and Me! Come on a journey, as we delve into the life stories of Territorians, whether born here or not, and hear some fascinating yarns. We will donate all of our interviews the the Library and Archives of the NT, for their oral history project. A true Territorian isn't merely a casual observer who enjoys the surroundings; they're the ones who forge a deep connection to the land. They establish their presence, nurture their families, and invest in the future of the Territory. Though the coming years may present challenges, a genuine Territorian embraces them with resolve, committed to enduring and prospering. They build legacies that echo through gen
