They really didn't have much go about them and they sold everything and even got rid of the cat before they applied for the visa, in fact by the end of the video they still hadn't applied! Love to know their outcome.

Also we had a couple in Tazzie, guy was ex army, they seemed okay. A couple of strange bikers who moved to Mellie, strange is an understatement and they also turned into whinging poms!

There was also a welsh family who moved to New Zealand, although they nearly missed their flight! had about 5 mins before check in closed!!!

Sound good yea? If anyone want the video I shall post it to them, just give me a PM. All our stuff went to Oz today, so if its not packed with them its not going, so it either goes to one of you lot or in the bin!
I'd really like to see them - -we have never had sky so we have never seen these "moving" progs!!!

Send them my way please!!!!

Chanell Four sometimes show them. I used to rush home at lunch time and be late back every day when they repeated the show about a year and a half ago.

can you forward it on to me after you have watched it please. I loved the one with kevin woodford and the way too positive people who went to NZ and felt for the canadian people.

Anyway I am so ready for a new instalment as once again we are still awaiting our requests for meds and pcc even though we applied last october. So a little bit of an aussie dream boost is just what the doctor ordered i think.

I have sent you a pm with my address if thats ok.

thanks in advance if you decide that will be ok.

Kevin Woodland!

He did seem a bit of a sloth though didnt he? Wanting to sponge off his wife and bum around in a camper van while she worked as a nurse.

I am glad they made it though, his wife was the driving force behind that one.

The couple from Canada, the one whos brother died within weeks of them moving, I liked them as well.

And the Esmonds(?), her husband caught that bug from chicken or something and nearly died, god they had a hard time as well.
