Country Town Rescue

Episode 2 (1x2)

:

As the episode opens Donna Roberts arrives with her children, In an effort to welcome and give the new families a soft landing, The Trundle Tree Change Committee has organized working bees for all the houses, so Donna is really pleased to arrive at a sparkling clean ‘South Purnim’, owned by Tree Change Committee member Dol Wright. Some 20 k’s down the road, Nabih and Christie Elemam are coming to terms with life in the bush, Nabih was expecting a country farm that would be green and lush, not brown and dry, and their water tank is full of dead frogs. For Claire and Tony Moore, nurses from Canberra the tree change is an opportunity to introduce their kids Carlo (3) and Grace (22 months) to the joys of the country. The Moore’s landlord David Watt has decided to put some money into their house, so in exchange for Tony’s labour together they build a new verandah. For the Guerke’s their verandah is creating activity for all the wrong reasons, the boards are old and rotten, and the Guerke’s kids have broken many of them. Dan’s landlord isn’t happy and has demanded that Dan replace the boards - in Dan’s words the Trundle Tree change ‘is turning into a nightmare on ‘elm street’.
