Leaving Rödermark to retire on the Gold Coast

Monika and Alfons Köhler moved to Australia at retirement age and left a great deal behind in Germany, including a successful business. We met them at the cafe their daughter opened in Surfers Paradise in Queensland. In the interview, they explain why they took this big step and why the cafe is named after Alfons Köhler.
