BBC One - Wanted Down Under Revisited, Series 9, Howes Family

Two years after a trial week in Australia, is it where the Howes family now calls home?

In 2013, Dave Howes was hoping a trial week in Australia would persuade wife Laurra to move their family there for good. Have they moved two years later?

An updated look at families previously featured on Wanted Down Under.

Dave Howes fell in love with Australia on a previous trip as a single man, and wife Laurra has been living with his obsession ever since they met. In 2013, he was convinced the country was the best place for his young family to grow up, but Laurra was terrified at the thought of moving so far from everyone she loved.

A trial week living on Australia's Gold Coast showed Dave the reality of life in Australia didn't always live up to his holiday memories. So two years later, is it the UK or Australia the Howes call home?
