Has anyone watched this morning? I've taped it but am hard at work :cool: so not at home until after 4pm......

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Just back from holiday in Tenerife, weather was great 22 degrees every day, sunny every day, came back to, yes you've guessed it, RAIN and of course WIND although just miserable and cloudy at the moment :( . We can't wait to be in Oz as well. Have taped Wanted Down Under and can't wait to see it this evening. We are in the same position as you, we live on the west coast of ireland and we get the weather directly from the atlantic. We've had rain pretty much since the beginning of November and we haven't been able to do much because of it, walking in the rain with a gale blowing is not my idea of fun. I'm really looking forward to living in a country with a better climate. :D

Yes got a day off today :cool: , It was a couple of hairdressers and her daughter looking at Sydney, they loved it, well worth watching when you get home :) .

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Many thanks and enjoy the remainder of your day off :)

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Well i enjoyed the show , bit day time tv but then again it was supossed to be .
not seen todays as yet .

would have prefered a different presenter & a lot less recapping on what was said in the 1st 10 mins .

house prices where interesting .

looked very easy , 3 jobs that seemed to be begging him to join them & the rest of it, but i guess form filling, medicals & phone calls to an agent would have been a bit dull for some .

nice to see some of the country and the house styles ,,, i guess it just takes you that bit nearer .

i don't think i learned anything but it will be interesting to see each city .

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Thank you for your kind words of support. Even now 4 hours later on my head is still up in the clouds. I'm realy glad you enjoyed the show. My wife and I have been having sleepless nights worrying about how we would come across. We had a wicked time out in Aus and even with the pressure of leaving the family behind we are both looking forward to the next 6 months and all it brings with it. All being well we should be topping up our sun tans by then.
:D

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Hi Paul,

you both came across really well on the programme :)! And I loved seeing a bit of Perth. When we went on our reccie last year we stayed at a hotel on Scarborough beach. Great to see Cottesloe beach and Hillary's again on TV and the coastal path along all the beaches.

But you were more hardy than us - going into the sea without a wetsuit. We thought the water was freezing :D .

How far along are you now with getting the visa?

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

You had nothing to be worried about, you came across as a really lovely family.
What stage have you got to now?
And were you happy with the way they showed your experience? Dish the dirt!! :D

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

Hi Guys

Really enjoyed the programme today.

Hubby is a sparks and we are headed for Perth too so LOADS of interesting sights and information.

Its amazing how the show yesterday and yours today has affected me emotionally as just after I watched your programme, I opened the last few client references to be sent off with our visa application - one client had written a lovely cover note and wished us "all the best in your new life in Oz.." I promptly burst into tears!!!! It all seems to becoming very, very, VERY real and we haven't even sent the application off yet!!

We wish you all the very best of luck in your new life and hope it brings you everything you desire and heaps more.

Love
Karen, Ashley & Family x

Re: BBC - Wanted Down Under
 

I really enjoyed the program even though we dont think we can afford Perth now still loved seeing the Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle where we stayed in 2000 and also love Cottesloe beach.

I'll keep setting the video for the next episode.
