for all those UK based, have you noticed that there is a new series of Wanted Downe Under starting today on BBC1 at 10am, it is then on daily

often shows a good insight into suburbs, cost of living etc

it will be available on i-player for all those who have read this post too late!

Oh I used to love watching that programme!

Some feedback would be nice (if anyone watches it).

B*gger.... missed this! Very spooky that a new series starts just as we're beginning our journey towards settling in Aus.

It's on tomorrow, and every other morning, so plenty more for those of us who missed this.

this morning was about Brisbane I believe so track it down on BBC i-player if that interests you!

I have sky+ the series and will watch them whenever I need an Australia fix

 

[big gus]

Oh, of course, forgot all about i-player. Thanks very much for that.... I'll have a look now - in between wondering WHERE to start with our application for Oz (

Any chance that someone could record this, and make it available to those of us living outside the UK??

Here's the link:

BBC iPlayer - Wanted Down Under: Series 4: Hannah

I hope it works.

I enjoyed it although I found it a bit hard to understand the kid's accent...

Thanks for the heads up. Makes the move seem more real after watching it on TV or PC. Now wheres that Visa form

Does BBC I-player work outside of the UK geographic region? I think it will have geo-blocking so it can't be seen here (similar to Hulu in the USA).

Just an update on the first show (especially for Dolly!)

Hannah family from Glasgow two sons aged 15 & 16

stayed in Redcliffe

looked at 3 bed houses ranging from $300,000 to $400,000

Brisbane hospital said they were really pleased with skills of Uk midwifes and they progress to senior levels quite quickly, they suggested a starting salary of $59,000 for a relatively senior job. Mrs Hannah was imprseed with quality of maternity care and staffing levels


he looked at two jobs

gardening for Botanic Gardens $40k a year

shipbuilding $60k a year

Yes they do block people outside the country from viewing it. You would have to go through a UK proxy server to view it. I just signed up with ukproxyserver.co.uk to allow me to watch it. This will give me access to all the stations that broadcast online in UK.

I just watched the first few minutes of the show. I am definitely going to have to do some translating for my american wife

Watched today 5th Jan 2010. Young couple went to Darwin, she was quite pregnant and they were both members of a large close family. You knew they were not the "move to the other side of the planet" types.

I like the new section, the Reality Check. I wish they would cover a little of the Visa requirement stuff, I personally think this is the most daunting part.

We felt odd watching today, the last time we watch the series we had applied for a Visa, this time we sat watching with our Visa Granted - Yippeeeeee!!!!!

Yeah I thought the same about the couple. I watched it last year thinking about getting a visa started. This year I'm going to start it off before the end of January. Who did you use?. and what is the typical cost of the procss please. Bit cheeky I know.
