(Episode 245: 13min 26) Have you ever thought of a sea change? Escape the rat-race and work from a coastal town or your own place in the bush. Modern technology is making the dream more accessible for many Australians and perhaps the economic downturn is a motivation to make such a move.
Rosemarie and Arnold Toynbee made the move to Byron Bay in 2000, and today they advise others through Byron Seachange Consulting. They talk to Phil Dobbie about the benefits and disadvantages of escaping a big city for a life in regional Australia.
