Yes the Brisbane one will be worth watching because the article on it was quite negative and i am not sure they stayed there. But it would be nice to see what Brisbane looks like.

My thoughts exactly Footie Chick. What part of Brisbane are you thinking of? My cousin lives in Victoria Point (Bayside) so we are going to have a good look around there in a couple of weeks. But my Aunt wants to look at Caboolture in the north. We are looking at houses there and they seem very reasonable - do you know anything about that area?

My Wife, myself and our 3 children (6, 3 and 2) are hoping to live in the Caboolture area. It is a lovely area, 45 minutes to Brisbane, 25 minutes to the coast and Bribie Island. All the local townships have good shopping areas. We are hoping to settle near to Wamuran, the school looks nice. My Aunt and Uncle live in the area and we are lucky enough to have visited three times.

Thanks for the info. We are going to have a good look around there when we go over. As with you - schools are a big consideration and also shops!!
Will post to let you know what we think when we get back.

Interested in seeing the Brisbane show as this is where we are heading but i hope we will be more organised and more informed to where we are going.

I agree with Dawn about the editing though, makes for more interesting TV.
I'm sure I read here somewhere that the Brisbane people are from this forum (suebo?). Their show sounds a bit negative already but I bet a lot of their comments etc are taken out of context. It would be nice to hear their story first (if you're reading).
Anyway, I won't let a poor version of 'Location location location' put me off heading south!
Cheers, Gra...

hi, interesting reading about the tv program, we are the family that relocated to nz. we haven't seen the show but you are right about the editing because they filmed us for seven weeks and that gets cut down to a one hour show. i don't know what our episode will be like to watch but the relocators and the behind the scenes people were a big help to us and we were sorry to see them go. we are quite happy here in nz but it is a big thing to do and you have to be 150% sure that it's the thing for you.

Herman, there was a programme not so along ago on UK TV where a family relocated to France to set up a fishing/holiday business. The BBC or whoever, went back there a year later to see how they were getting along with their new business. It was a success, they were almost fully booked up for the coming months. I reckon the TV show had a lot to do with that. The location looked great and the family running/setting it up were lovely, the kind of place I'd wanna go to.

we thought the same about our business we have set up here but what you have to remember is if your business is trying to attract customers from the country you have moved to the fact that the tv program is on in the uk isn't much help!
it has opened a few doors for us though and i would definately recommend doing the program if you get the chance.

Maybe I'll also send you a plastic surgeon link, to ensure you get chosen for the programme.....
