We'd decided we wanted to just before it came out.

No we didnt but once we made the decision I have been glued to it, just to get a glimpse of the different areas and an idea of the lifestyle. Unfortunately, the program doesn't actually show that much of the places themselves.

We spoke about it approx 2+ years ago, got in touch with the agent, spoke some more, researched a bit, spoke, went off the boil, chickened out and left it for about 6 months. Then went for it after shedloads more talking etc..

I watched 2 of them and was so embarrassed to be British that I couldn't watch any more. In a few days I will watch Kath and Kim and be so embarrassed to be Australian :D
Mind you nothing could be so embarrassing as Eldorado :scared:

Fraser,
i'm only going to escape the repeats on satalite before the wife kills me!
Even she now knows which one is which.

Tonight it's the KISS fan from Wales - with a 4.0L Cortina. The Davies Family.
(I remember all the important things :p )

They like Oz and make it home.
Anyone have any more info on how they are doing?


Bye
Mark

Yeah, same here, particularly the one where all the Welsh expats from Swansea had their own little village somewhere in Melbourne.

Made us think twice.

Yeah, they were OK (if we're thinking of the same people) - he was going for an interview as a security guard and was a big Kiss fan, she was an office admin.

What made me wonder was the clique and sub-community they were trying to form within a Melbourne suburb. One of them even said they were actively sponsoring all their friends from Swansea to come over ASAP. Jeezuz. :scared:
