After swapping their demanding jobs and cosmopolitan life in inner Melbourne for a bush block in Queensland, Jennifer Nini and Ben McGuire haven't looked back.

So, in 2014 they took the plunge and purchased a 48-hectare bush block about two hours' drive from the Sunshine Coast airport.After the move, Ms Nini ran a successful multimedia online site focused on fashion and sustainability, while Mr McGuire worked in construction.The flowers are sold at farmers markets in Gympie and on the Sunshine Coast.
