What a good idea, certainly would give people a brief look at areas & housing before they pay out for flights etc.

So what if it's been homemade. Its probably not worthwhile for a professional company to make such a production. I agree with "J". It's a good idea and what is most important afterall is the information it can pass onto people interested.
Good luck to them I say.

Hi Jane,
Yes, I quite agree. They probably were the producers.
A good idea though! There must be loads of people heading to Australia with very little idea of what they are going to find.

The good thing about ebay is that they record a sellers history, or shows wether a seller has a History or not.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3368414903
In this case if you go to the item it shows the sellers name and a rating of maximus-33( 47) the number in brackets refers to feedback from previous buys or sells that person has done.
If you click on the number 47 from the rating you read feedback from others. it also says the buyer has had 100% positive feedback, so in this case they seem to be decent people and have done atleast 47 previous satisfactory trades.
Ebay is great for that kind of reassurance. I regulary shop on there and have never had a problem, saying that I would not buy off anyone with a positive rating of less than 5 just to be safe.
Basically each time people buy and sell from one another, bothe the buyer and seller has the chance to give feedback on each other. its in sellers interests to keep buyers happy.
Hope this info helps.

Please do. I am thinking of buying it, although don't have a DVD player apart from on my laptop. Would be interested to know the quality and whether it would be worth watching it on a small laptop screen as opposed to a tv.

I was looking for a video on Perh.
Sent off for one from their tourist board never heard back !!!!

I've recently purchased one of these dvd's. I paid by
Paypal and got the item the very next day.
The dvd gives you a front page menu and gives you the
choice of playing all or going to the chapter
selection. for your benefit Ive listed all the
chapters which are:
Melbourne City Centre, Box Hill & Shopping Centre,
Drive to Burwood, South Gippsland Highway, Templestow,
Eltham, Rowville, Rowville showhomes, Doncaster,
Doncaster East, Diamond Creek, Princes Highway,
Packenham Showhomes (1), Packenham town, Packenham
showhomes (2), Narre Warren South, Berwick springs
showhomes, Fountain Gate shopping Centre, Beaconsfield
and finally Berwick town.
In all the second half of the dvd is far better than
the first half. Its not that "entertaining" and the
commentary isn't the best in the world, but it is very
informative and has given me a much better idea of
housing and what the areasare like that we intend to
move to. The show homes they tour around are amazing!
The standard of housing is incredible and particularly
liked the walks around the inside of the showhomes.
Also an indoor shopping centre called Fountain gate
where you can actually see the floor. If you want a
highly polished professional video, then this is not
for you. However if you accept that its a homemade dvd
and just accept it for the information it holds then
for me its given me a far better idea of what various
areas are like and areas that are currently being
developed.

Thats brilliant - thanks for the information. I think I'll buy it. Overall did they state the cost of the houses?
