You Moved Where?‪!‬ Regional Australia Institute

Have you ever made a major life decision on a complete whim? That's exactly what Edwina Bartholomew and Neil Varcoe did when they drove through the charming town of Carcoar and decided to buy the local pub.
Balancing Edwina's presenting job on Channel 7's Sunrise and Neil's crash course in renovations wasn't easy, but the warm welcome from the locals made it all worthwhile. Today, they own and operate Saltash Farm, a boutique hotel in the town that time forgot.

We talked to award-winning community member Moolay Lah Toh who supports migrant families making the move, new Mum Maeve who is challenging old farming methods, Katanning Deputy Shire President Liz Guidera, and Alep Mydie who is living his dreams by running a business that makes people buzz.

To kick off the new series, Bec Bignell sits down with producer Grace Rouvray to reflect on the lessons learned from the past two series of You Moved Where?!
We’ve heard stories from Broadway stars, broadcasters, doctors, and executives. We've visited cattle stations, coastal cottages, artist studios, and she-sheds. We've perched on porches, journeyed down main drags, and been swept up by the vibrant energy, endless blue skies, and sunsets that feel like they can solve all the world's problems.
Our new series with 8 more movers starts next week.

Episode 8
Title: ‘You Moved Where?!’ - Holly Wainwright
Acclaimed author Holly Wainwright, originally from Manchester, was always drawn to bright lights and urban adventures, living in London before relocating down under to Sydney. However, in Australia she was enticed out of the big smoke on family holidays where the experience of a regional lifestyle inspired her to move permanently. 
In her new regional life, Holly has made a cosy ‘she-shed’  in her backyard, specifically designed to let creative juices flow. Now the Executive Editor at Mamamia, Holly continues to enjoy an incredible work life, in a changed way...one that benefits from the increased space to breathe.
YOU MOVED WHERE is made on the land of Bindjareb people with Holly Wainwright joining us from the land of the Jerrinja people. We would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional custodians of the land and pay respects to Elders past and present.
