The cast announcement means filming is probably just about to start up. I think it will air around mid-year.
If you want to find most of them just hang around the Toorak/Malvern/South Yarra area which is my local. I’ve literally seen Chyka shopping on my street, I’ve driven passed Janet in Toorak (I think her partner has a house in Toorak?) and Lydia lives really close to me.

Right. When u having me over for dinner? 
It will film I’m march 
Annoying yet again it will only be 10 episodes which I imagine means only x1 reunion episode like season 4. A shame They can’t produce 12 eps like the first 3 seasons
Yeah I don’t know why we just get 10 eps. You’d think if they have enough content they could do some more.
