virch is a program presented by CLIRA - Celebrating Life In Regional Australia. We love nothing better than jumping in our car and heading off on an Aussie road trip.

But sadly, reality gets in the way sometimes and so, we don't get out as often as we would like to.

And that's where virch kicks in! 

virch is an abbreviation of virtual road trip! Every virch we complete will become a podcast that you can listen to without leaving home.

We will plan out road trips across regional Australia and chat to people who live and work in towns and regional centres along the way. We'll get them to tell us about their local area and what we should do when we get around to completing a real road trip.

Of course, if you can get away for a week or two and can complete one of our virches for real, you can listen on the way to find out all about your destination before you get there!

CLIRA is an acronym for Celebrating Life In Regional Australia - and that's what we do!

We have been creating podcasts and radio programs, using our parent brand, Podversations since 2008. As huge fans of regional Australia, we find ourselves regularly coming back to creating content that has regional, rural and remote Australia as its subject.

CLIRA is a small business based in Geelong, Victoria. For more information, please visit the CLIRA web site.

Please get in touch - our contact details are available on our Contact page.

We'd love to hear from you if you have completed a virch or have any suggestions for future virches that we can produce. We are also happy to receive feedback and answer any questions you might have.
