Jim and Georgina See wanted to broaden their horizons and see a different side of Australia, so in November last year they made the tree change, from their coastal town of Yamba, right here to Cowra where they run the Breakout Motel.

They love it here and don't have a bad word to say about the town.
"We haven't really had a negative experience," Jim said.
"I guess the only thing I am hoping is that it doesn't get too cold!" said Georgina.
Although, worried about the winter cold the couple are delighted to see the change of seasons experienced here in Cowra.
"In Yamba we don't see Autumn, it is a temperate climate all year round," Georgina said.
"We missed watching the leaves change colour, and I am really looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms in September."
Georgina and Jim always find something to do on their days off, and have enjoyed travelling around the country side, visiting sites from the Sock factory in Crookwell, to the vintage Holden car garage in Canowindra.
"We always find something to do, there is always something on," Jim said.
"And the Information Centre in town is great, the people up there are so knowledgeable," Georgina added.
Jim has some family history in town that he was not fully aware of before moving.
His father came to visit and reminisced about his years in Cowra, marrying Jim's late mother, and the early years of their relationship, where Jim's mother worked in the Cowra Cannery.
"Jim's dad Les pointed out an old boarding house he used to live in when he first came to town," Georgina said.
"As I looked up to see which house it was I realised that it was the same place I had kept telling Jim I wanted to buy if we were to ever win the lottery!"
The couple see themselves staying in town, as they are yet to find any reason to leave.
