I still don't get why they offered the entire state of QLD, but just Sydney in NSW. What about other parts of NSW?! Do people really think that QLD is one destination, like a really big town? :huh:

we're off to NSW......they only got as far as The Gong.....we're going a couple of hours south of that. Here's hoping the one of the other episodes to be shown lets us see more of the coastal towns

My favourite house today was the $1million on the lake - 4,000sq metres of land with a 'small 2 bed house' - flippin mansion more like :ohmy: - in the grounds :wub: utter heaven ..... I can but dream :p !

Hi Everyone,

First time on this forum for us..!

We are on the BBC programme featuring Adelaide and I have asked the BBC for dates the programme is due to be shown and will advise accordingly.

We are on our way to Adelaide sometime between April & June and would love to hear from anybody doing the same.

Regards

Steve & Jeanette

Hi Steve & Jeanette,
Just saw you on the telly last week - famous eh!
We've just received our visas for Adelaide so it's decision time.
We visited Adelaide last October and travelled around a bit - Hallett Cove, West Lakes, Stirling and the City etc but couldn't seem to find an area that felt right!
Have you decided where and when to go? Also noticed you went to Flagstaff Hill - Any good?
We have 3 kids under 10, so schooling is important.
Would love to hear your views/experiences.
Steve & Emma

Steve and Emma
As a family we are hoping to emmigrate and live in Adelaide. Our friends live in Golden Grove and seem very happy there. If I can help you with further info let me know.

I don't like the shows format , i am sure it was made for ITV because it recaps so much they think the viewers are simpletons and forgot what was said 10 mins ago , its 45 mins where as ITV would have stretched it to an hour with damned adverts . i love to see whats there , house ect , i like the ppl but i think the emotional blackmail at the end is needless and pointless . i just think its out of order and unfair .

i have to say the guy on fridays seemed not to have done his homework ... there he is washing his porsche & saying theres more to life than money ... then gets there and says the wages are low ! ... dude sell yer porsche & the bmw 4x4 and bank yer money

rant over ,
