Rare Stickman1990 Posted December 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Although she’s certainly quirky Jane’s cruising shows are usually interesting - her series on Cruising Down under in Australia starts tonight on SBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewgood Posted December 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks Stickman, I enjoy her show. She doesn't take herself too seriously. Interested to see where she cruises to Down Under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted December 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) I like Jane, bit of a laugh, entertaining show. I wonder if she visited Harry De Wheels for a pie? Edited December 15, 2019 by NSWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbeh Posted December 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I just love her shows and have already set to record tonight for posterity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Gut introduced a Yank yo pies on our recent Majestic Cruise, he aske what she was getting and when she said a hamburger for her and a pie for me, he was curious about what a pie was, “You mean a piece of pie?” So she ordered one for him, I noticed when he finished the pie was gone but 1/2 the hamburger was still there. And they were only Mrs Mac’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Stickman1990 Posted December 16, 2019 Author #13 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The Albany ANZAC Centre is very good - I absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Albany - and allow a few hours to take it all in and visit the area around the Centre itself Shame they couldn’t stop in Busselton due to the sea conditions - I assume that would have been the Margaret River port I enjoyed the first episode - it was certainly a whirlwind tour of the East coast and still trying to figure how Nimbin got a guernsey - unless she had a special affinity to the area maybe 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Perhaps friends recommended it from their Gap years (that she had working on a cruise ship) and she didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challis Posted December 16, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 16, 2019 i wanted to see a full hour on the ship,not a rushed east coast backpacker trip thrown in i never been to nimbin,and dont want to go,would,nt go if you paid me she did,nt do justice to any of the segments,why buy a wet suit??? just go for a swim in your bathers the balcony cabins are small.. she should have been in a mini suite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted December 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I didn't bother watching, but the above sounds par for the course and is the reason why. I watched one ep on her doing a Baltic cruise and the amount she skipped, both on ship and ashore, and what was shown instead made it naff. Seemed more of a vanity piece about her than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted December 16, 2019 #17 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Yep, you either like it or not, there is a little bit of cruise stuff, a bit of travel stuff and lot of her stuff. I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MMDown Under Posted December 16, 2019 #18 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I enjoyed the show after coming across it by accident. I hadn't heard of Jane McDonald. Good publicity for Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same experience, but tried to watch a second episode back then. Found her insufferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissie Posted December 16, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I've seen her earlier series which inc a European river cruise. Maybe I'm cynical - I just assume that what is featured is because the local company or tourism authority paid for the exposure. Its a fun program and I like her - but the content is surely advertorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted December 16, 2019 #23 Share Posted December 16, 2019 13 hours ago, OzKiwiJJ said: Yes, she did! 🙂 Indeed, half the show was at Harry's, making pies, selling pies and eating pies of the Tiger variety, meat pie, mashed spud, mushy peas and gravy, lubbly jubbly. Not much of the shipboard life shown, maybe next week. Harrys sure did get some publicity.I hope she gets a few of these into her next stop.

Mr&MrsCookie Posted December 16, 2019 #25 Share Posted December 16, 2019 The show was a light bit of fluff - but a whole lot better than anything else that is on TV right now. I'm a little bit over watching Friends and 2 and a Half Men reruns... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
