Live the Dream has been gaining some attention from broadcast media in recent weeks, highlighted by an appearance on Channel Seven’s top-rating national current affairs program, Today Tonight, on May 7. Live the Dream Editor, Graham Turner, was interviewed for the program, which examined the Sea and Tree Change trend in the context of a follow-up ‘where are they now’ focus on two families featured in Channel Seven’s The Real Seachange program.

Further to this television coverage, Graham Turner has been interviewed on ABC radio in Victoria and South Australia concerning an interesting Charles Sturt University study on Tree Change motivations and outcomes in rural NSW and North-East Victoria. A significant proportion of Tree Changers interviewed for the study had ‘jumped in’ to their move without conducting detailed research about their destination, and had subsequently been disappointed with their move – particularly the welcome they had received from the local community.
