This is Tony of the Davies Family (Welsh - Melbourne). Yes, we are still living here it has been 5 years this month. We loved filming, the crew were great we even stay with them on our holidays back home. Melbourne is fantastic, we are very happy we made the move - Natalie our daughter is now a mum of two a little girl and boy. Jason is paratrooper with the australian army and has just finished a tour of east Timor. Michelle is working as an accountant and I am still a postie, we moved 2 year ago into the house we built.

we have made a few friends who watched the show in the uk then moved to Oz.

Regards

The Davies

Welcome to BE mate, and thanks for taking part in that show, we truly enjoyed watching your family's adventure, and it's great to see it's all worked out so well for you.

Hi Tony, welcome to BE
Glad to hear everything is going well and still a postie as that is what you wanted to do.
Thank for taking the time to update everyone as before we found BE the only referance we had were these programs.
One thing that I'd love to know about your show, were you really that lucky to just turn up and meet Kiss or did the crew arrange it?
Stupid question I know but it bugged me at the time

Cheers Biddy

Hi Tony,

Have to say imo that your family were the 'normal' family which we all hope is us!!

You came over as lovely people, willing to give Oz a good go and your problems were those experienced by many new immigrants.

Glad to hear that it has all worked out for you. Can you persuade the production company to do an update series???

Good luck with your continued life as new Australians!

Hello Tony, Michelle, Natalie and Jason and additional little ones,

Glad that you are now well settled and everyone is happy. The programme was great and I watched it several times.

My Oh and myself are 8 months into our Contr Parent Visa application so a little while to go yet to when we hope to get visa and be living on the SUnshine Coast next year.

All the best to you all

Hi Tony

Hoping to follow in your shoes in the next few years (well no ambition to meet Kiss ).
Great to hear all is still well for you out in Aus.

Hi,

There was an update - called 1 year on, we were asked to take part but because we were happy and had no complaints they decided to go with the more controversial families.

Hi Biddy,

No, I wasn't that lucky it was pre-arranged by a member of the film crew that used to work for MTV and he called in a favour. I was told to pretend to blag my way in, if you watch the part where I am walking up the corridor behind the manager you will see a yellow sticker on the back of leg - that was my access all areas pass.

Where abouts are you a postie, there are two of us, that are BBS members at Preston DC.

Quite possibly strike action this week as well dammit, oh well that could remind you of the UK lol

Thanks for that Tony,

What a shame that a happy family didn't warrant the air time. Us BE's wanted to see a success story with happy normal people.

Hope you keep posting and keep us updated that way!
