Episode 50 - Mia Ayliffe-Chung and Tom Jackson: 88 Days Farming in Australia

Mia had always wanted to travel the world and when she finished college she did just that. She started in Morocco and travelled all over, until she settled in Australia. When Mia’s visa ran out, she decided to undertake the 88 days agricultural work that was required to extend her visa. At the farm she met another Brit, a man named Tom Jackson. Unfortunately, neither Mia or Tom would ever make it back to England. 

This episode explores the violent murders of Mia Ayliffe-Chung and Tom Jackson and we delve into the horrors surrounding the 88 days working visa.
