Spencer adopts US family

Every seven minutes a new person moves to Queensland. That’s 1500 new Queenslanders each week.

612ABC Brisbane has 'adopted' one United States family that has relocated to Brisbane this week. And Breakfast presenter Spencer Howson has made it his personal mission to ensure the Hagenmaier family feel welcome and settle in happily.

There’s mother and father Lori and Mark, and their two daughters, Audrey, 11, and Emily, 15. Mark’s work has brought them halfway across the world, from Ohio to Brisbane, for a two-year stay.

Audrey and Emily are keen to make the most of Queensland’s beaches, while Mark and Lori have their minds occupied by the practical matters of finding a home and school for their daughters.

Discussing her impressions of Australia, Lori says Australia is "an absolutely marvellous country of very gracious people with spectacular sights and sounds."

  • That, my dear sir, would be the understatement of my life time! It's all due to me finding pattycam.net and being a tiny part of that fun group! The connections and networking have been MIND BOGGLING!!!

  • Yes Lori, it has been fun watching it all happening, and sounds like next week should be a heap of fun too. I did get up to watch you on the Hawaii cam and I think i saw you and your daughter...You had a white top or dress on and I think your daughter had blue on...anyhow enjoy it all and maybe you will get up here to the tropics during your stay.

  • Lori, Johnno is a good mate of mine and an avid Pattycam fan, the feeling is mutual, (he's my kid brother I never had)just don't tell him, it will only go to his silly North Queensland head, haha. We are all enjoying your trip and travels, hope you are having a great time.
