You might be familiar with the Long family - they're known as the ‘most isolated family in New Zealand.’

They lived at Gorge River - 50 kilometres from the nearest road and more than 100 kilometres from their nearest neighbour.

The family became a bit of global sensation after British adventurer Ben Fogle did a documentary about them.

Now the family's youngest member, Chris Long, is telling his own story.

It's all in his book The Boy from Gorge River and Chris Long joined Tim Dower.
