Movin’ to the Country: July 22

Movin’ to the Country this week is in Queensland, visiting Mission Beach, Esk and Barcaldine.

We start things off in the far north at Mission Beach, where Craig Quartermaine visits a family of dog lovers, who turned their beloved pet’s battle with arthritis into a business converting the waste of the local fishing industry, plus a clever collaboration with neighbouring banana farms, into delicious dog treats. Halina Baczkowski heads inland to Esk where a remarkable Chinese entrepreneur is risking everything to prove he can farm seafood anywhere in the world. And then Kristy O’Brien drops in on a pair of Barcaldine brothers who returned home to get their parent’s property ready for sale and accidently created a brand-new business turning fallen gidgee wood into fantastic barbeque charcoal which might just save the family farm.

7:30pm Friday on ABC.
