Any help would be greatly appreciated. Something like (for Street): def __unicode__(self): return u'%s, %s)' % (self.name, unicode(self.suburb)) (assuming Suburb's __unicode__ returns its name) should do it. (And assuming suburb is not allowed to be null -- if it is then you'll need to test for a null suburb and fall back to just returning the street name and not attempting to access a non-existant related object.)
