David & Emelia Ferguson - returned to the family farm in Gundagai to find family bliss and business success.
There have been quite a lot of positives about coming back to the area, but the kids are one of the major ones. That community-based set up you get from the country - you can’t really replicate it in the bigger cities. The other thing that really springs to mind is that we get to spend more time together. A lot of people are dog paddling and not getting anywhere, trying to pay rents and mortgages that are completely out of control. You’ve got the opportunity to move and buy a house for a quarter, or even a fifth of the price that you’re paying in the cities. There are lots of opportunities here for people to come and set up a business and do something a little bit different. This area is crying out for people to come and do new stuff. We have no regrets at all - it’s been the best decision we’ve made in our married life, and we’d definitely recommend the move.
