Squiz Kids

Each fortnight, we give the world globe a spin and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people.

Join your captain, Christie Kijurina, on an audio adventure. Today, we're flying to Nepal, a country where the world's tallest mountains rise into the clouds, colourful prayer flags dance on the breeze, and legends tell of a mysterious creature with giant footprints roaming the snowy peaks.

So buckle up as we journey to the roof of the world and take a Squiz at Nepal!
