TV presenter, Liz Cantor, one of the Gold Coast’s most familiar faces and the ‘All Australian Girl’, recently moved into her dream home on the Gold Coast in Queensland. After scouring the local property market for years with her husband, Ryan Lysaught, in search of the perfect family home, the couple decided to embark on a KnockDown ReBuild.
