Lost in Larrimah

Paddy Moriarty was a larrikin — and when he goes missing under mysterious circumstances, the tiny town of Larrimah finds itself in the midst of an outback mystery. This is Never Never country, it’s easy to get lost here. But there are plenty of other ways a man can disappear, and all of the town’s 11 residents have a theory about what happened.

As police begin to suspect Paddy Moriarty has met with foul play, existing tensions in Larrimah flare up. The town has been in a civil war for more than a decade. There’s a missing train, a secret cricket match and accusations of theft, arson and hooning. A rusty filing cabinet may hold the answer to what tore this Tidy Town apart.

If there’s one thing Larrimah’s residents can agree on, it’s that Paddy Moriarty and Fran Hodgetts have been fighting for years. Now the grandmother, who make pies for a crust, has people driving past her teahouse accusing her of murder. But she has her own theory about what happened to Paddy.Music credits:Kevin Macleod - Thinking Music Doctor Turtle - New Boots Rag Doctor Turtle - I Snost I Lost Steve Combs - A Vital Piece of Music for All Your Soundtrack Needs Josh Woodward - Cant Take Our Love Away Instrumental Version Chris Zabriskie - Cylinder Five Josh_Woodward - Don't Close Your Eyes Instrumental Doctor Turtle - You Um Ill Ah ​Chris Zabriskie - The Theatrical Poster for Poltergeist III  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For people in Larrimah, the hardship isn’t just that Paddy Moriarty’s missing. Or that he’s probably not coming back alive.

Paddy Moriarty loved a tall tale and was known as a larrikin. Some of the potential reasons for his disappearance sound like a tall tale themselves. There are sinkholes, crocodiles and a dangerous highway that others have vanished on. And by all accounts, Paddy had a bit past.Music credits:Kevin Macleod - Thinking Music Rest You Sleeping Giant - Old Tape Loops Chris Zabriskie - The Theatrical Poster for Poltergeist III Steve Combs - A Vital Piece of Music for All Your Soundtrack Needs Steve Combs - Play the Hook and Leave Doctor Turtle - Let's Just Get Through Christmas Axletree - The Sighful Branches Chris Zabriskie - Cylinder Four Swelling - Night I Uuriter - Homeland Cassette  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
