The Block
This married couple are based in Newman, a mining town 1,800km (12 hours drive) north of Perth, where it’s 40+ degrees every other day in summer. They have two kids, Carter, 4, and Myla, 2, and are The Block’s second police couple, following on from Block All-Stars Alisa and Lysandra. They work together at the Newman police station, which services the town, mining community and indigenous communities of Western Australia.
“I wanted to apply for The Block for years, but it was never the right timing,” Britt said. “The timing now is right.”
Experience
While they haven’t fully renovated a house yet, they’ve done plenty of projects on their home in Newman and before that Perth.
“I would say we could be classed as amateur renovators,” Taz said.
Britt added: “We have done lots of things ourselves like window bench seats, paving and landscaping, but never something like the scale of The Block.”
Britt, 30, police officer
An incredibly hard worker, Britt worked in car sales for five years before becoming a police officer. She also is a budding photographer, specialising in family portraits and maternity pictures. Britt is a huge fan of The Block, having watched it for many years.
Taz, 30, police officer
Raised in Campbelltown in Sydney, Taz moved to Perth to play top-level football in the WAFL. He is an aboriginal man from the Tharawal/Dharawal People, who wants to inspire indigenous kids around Australia that anything is possible. Taz (real name Taran) loves the outdoors and lots of sports, and his biggest fear is subzero early-morning temperatures in Daylesford.
Together
The couple met in Perth nearly 10 years ago on Tinder and married three years ago. They are a hard-working team and no challenge is too much. Their kids Carter and Myla are the centre of their universe and they are doing the show for them. Their style on The Block is called Modern Organic Luxury. Think resort-style living.
