You've heard of the Race that Stops the Nation.
This was the Case that Stopped the Nation.
In August 2016, the Tromps gathered their children into the car and headed out on an 800km, interstate road trip that would draw the attention of millions of people around the world within a couple of days.
Join Holly and Matthew as they follow the Tromp Road Trip from Melbourne, VIC, to Bathurst, NSW, and back, with a little... sightseeing along the way.
