A Place in the Sun
I work on a Channel 4 TV series called 'A Place in the Sun'. The programme features British property buyers looking to buy holiday homes and relocations all over the world. I'm currently planning our new series, to be filmed this winter (Before Christmas) and we are due to be making three shows on the East Coast of Australia.
Not only do we bring UK buyers over and show them the best properties in a
given region, we also feature the area itself and promote it to British
viewers. On average we have 3 million viewers per programme. The series has
been running for three years.
Unfortunately one of our couples has dropped out. We were due to be taking them to the coastal area, around Ballina and Yamba (south of Brisbane).
I’m very keen to find more people interested in taking part who are planning to move permanently to Australia, due to the regulations regarding acquisition of property by foreigners on a visitor’s visa.
Please contact me at the address below for more details if you are interested in taking part.

What a fantastic opportunity...Unfortunately I'm still in grim UK, may be next year you can look at South Australia?
Good Luck with the program.

Hi Clare
I think it will be difficult on this site as not many people seem to be heading there. Alternatively do a search under Brisbane.
If you want to do Perth, then i am up for it!

We are very interested in the Brisbane area and have seen the programme on Channel 4. We are planning to move to Oz as soon as our visas are through, which should be around May next year. Have been looking at some properties on the internet and we are amazed at what you can buy!

Well, the British owner rushed over to our car and informed us that we'd have to move along up the lane as a British film crew was filming some British family looking over his property, something to do with a British TV show about buying homes abroad. Hey, this was his big moment of fame, and he sure as heck wasn't going to let US spoil it, full bladders and appointment or not! Hilarious in hind sight, but not so funny at the time as we urgently sought out a suitable get-the-job-done spot en plein air that was also out of sight of the camera.
Ages and ages later, the film crew was done, but by then, bien sur, the owner had an appointment elsewhere and didn't have time to give us more than a 5-minute showing. Turned out to be long enough though to figure out that not only wasn't it as nice as advertised, but also, well, after all that it didn't even HAVE a toilet at the moment - the owner 'went' outdoors.
Funny little world Claire, non?

Yamba is about 4 hours drive south of Brisbane. In other words, it's no
where near the place.

Hi my name is Sue (37) hubby Dave(42) & 2 boys (10&9) and we live in Cornwall.
We have got our visa's and have to get to Oz before 29th April 2003, we are ready to go as soon as our house sells, we were thinking of Adelaide but would like to look at Brisbane so being part of your program would interest us.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: A Place in the Sun
Hello Claire,
My fiancee and I are going to be heading for OZ in the new year,
without prejudice we are going to look at lots of cities to see what
we like. We would obviously love to feature in the prog however will
not be realistically buying for a year or so.
Just out of interest have you thought of using the programme to
compare regions in a country...rather thatn focus on a specific area.
There are loads of posts here about people not sure whether its
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth for them.
Such a programme would make fascinating viewing!

I think that's another programme altogether. I've seen most
episodes of A Place in the Sun (*), and it'd be a hell of a change
in format to start comparing distant regions.
(*) It was watching this programme that kinda got me serious about
leaving the UK in search of a better quality of life.
I'm heading for South Australia, but would gladly move to this
place in QLD if you'd promise I could keep Amanda Lamb at the
end of the show ;-)

Re: A Place in the Sun
Hi Clare
Having lived in London for 10 years, (we are originally from Zimbabwe) my (pregnant) wife & I have our resident permits and we are immigrating to Australia in Dec - we booked our tickets for 22 Dec.
I have been looking at properties on the web as we are looking to live on a property with 5 acres (we are hoping to have horses at some stage). As my wife is due at the end of February '03 we are VERY keen to find a property before then so we can setup nursey etc etc...
I guess this sounds great for your program except we are due to Migrate to Perth.
If you choose to swap to the other side of Oz, drop me a line...

Re: A Place in the Sun
Can't help I'm afraid,unless you need volunteers for a programme about waxed arsed sparkies who've spent 3 years to get a visa,and when it finally comes,can't sell their house.Oh,and I'm easy when it comes to the casting couch.
Thankyou Daaaarrrlings. Baldy
