What was that little worm thing?

We did a 2 hour bush walk (me in my flip flops) on mt coo ta and never saw anything, despite the fact I had convinced myself I was going to see a big ugly snake!

I think someone put that worm on her trainer for effect!

These guys go out there & i gotta say there are some wally's out there , i will say & to be truthfull the ppl who have posted on this forum seem to have a lot of savy about them , done their research , but some seem turn up without even knowing what their job will pay ( roughly )

they get there on my licence fee money (thanks bbc) & seem to have no idea , some choose jobs and make out it the make or break of the deal ! for gods sake , just take a job get some money in & then search for one that suits better .

It great to see area's and anything Australian on the tv , its good from that perspective ... but sometimes you just wonder why they wasting money .

one couple had lived there before & they couldn't pull it off , well c'mon surely they had already had an idea but still they go and sit there n wonder why they are going back !


aaaagghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I know Matt the butcher who was featured early on visiting Perth. He said they filmed 10 hours of footage condensed into 45 mins. Easy to come across in a bad light I think with all that editing.

Stay with me guy's i'm test running as we speak. If all goes well you will be able to access my pc and get the shows you want.
NOW FOR YOUR INPUT!
Shall i convert these files into Divx to make them smaller files? down side is they wont play on most standalone DVD players. As it stand's each show is about 3GB in size which will take about 16hours to download each show even with broadband.
Let me know what you think.

You can run Divx on pc though can't you?
I suppose I could run it on my pc and connect it to the tv, so thats fine with me.

I thought it was their garden, but they then said they had found the park . . . I remember thinking, wow the roads are all open, and the communal park is surrounded by trees and stuff . . .

Very well spotted. I never spotted it whilst watching the show, just watched it again to see the editing mistake. Jean wouldn't have to take them far as they were in their garden talking.
here's a useful link for anyone wanting to pop out in and around Brisbane in the heat of the day with 2 kids in tow.
