Movin’ to the Country celebrates the entrepreneurs, innovators and dreamers who are transforming the look and feel of Regional Australia.
Join hosts Craig Quartermaine, Halina Baczkowski and Kristy O’Brien as they head off to a different region every week to tell the stories of folk looking to make a good living from their little patch of paradise.
While it’s not all beer and peaches, despite struggles and setbacks, they’ve never looked back.
Episode 3 – QUEENSLAND
In Mission Beach, Craig Quartermaine visits a family of dog lovers, who turned their beloved pet’s battle with arthritis into a business converting the waste of the local fishing industry, plus a clever collaboration with neighbouring banana farms, into delicious dog treats.
Halina Baczkowski heads inland to Esk where a remarkable Chinese entrepreneur is risking everything to prove he can farm seafood anywhere in the world.
In Barcaldine, Kristy O’Brien drops in on two brothers who returned home to get their parent’s property ready for sale and accidentally created a brand-new business turning fallen gidgee wood into fantastic barbeque charcoal which might just save the family farm.
