Squiz the World goes to… Jamaica

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, Amanda Bower, on an audio adventure.

Today, we’re flying across the Pacific to Jamaica—a Caribbean island bursting with rhythm, sunshine, and good vibes. It’s the birthplace of reggae music, where jerk chicken sizzles on the grill and waterfalls tumble through tropical rainforests.  So grab your sunnies and get ready to feel the beat of Jamaica!
