Shenandoah is a 1947 Australian radio serial about a horse that wins the Melbourne Cup.[1][2] Episodes went for 15 minutes.[3]
It was written by Anthony Scott Veitch and made by AWA.[4] One of the sponsors was Qantas.[5]
The Brisbane Telegraph said "the author... or someone acting in an advisory capacity has achieved the authentic touch. This is station life — to the life. The story though richly melodramatic, is good radio; and characters are well drawn."[6]
