  • A former south-east Queensland couple have traded the comfortable conveniences of the suburbs, moving 650km to the remote Carnarvon Ranges to give their children experiences they’ll never forget.
    Caleb and Hayley Downs say it was the best decision they've made in a long time as it's given them more time to focus on what really matters - spending quality time with their kids Jaxson, Oakley and Lexi.

    I never knew an adult from Rural Indiana for most of their lives could pick up Australian accent and dialect real well. Crazy haha

    One of our costumer moved back from the outback, the lady explained, when you need the ambulance, the nerves wont get it. I need in my pregnancy-time, the ambulance, the stress was to much, so we moved to Queensland, we feel more secure, the outback s only for holiday.

    Great story! Home education is the best. Forget the education department and don’t worry about a lack of interaction with other kids.
    All the best from an old alternative lifestyle family.

    Well, it would probably take under 30 minutes for an ambulance to attend a call BUT(!!), expect a 1 or 2 day wait in the Emergency Room at the Hospital..... 😂😂😂 PULEEZ!! Do NOT aim for Canada for the "free Universal (?) Healthcare"...... It is VERY BADLY broken.... 😢😢😢

    I got halfway through the video & was still wondering when you were going to get to the point. Any point. Poorly executed & edited.
