BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 9, Bowen Family

Rob dreams of a life in Australia. Can he persuade his wife to move there?

Series in which families try out life overseas. Rob dreams of a life in Australia. Can he persuade his wife to sacrifice her close family ties and move there?

Series in which British families experience a trial week living in Australia or New Zealand before deciding whether to move to the other side of the world or remain in the UK. 

Since hearing tales from a friend who had been travelling down under, Rob Bowen has become convinced Australia is where he should be living. Wife Amy, however, is torn - granting her husband's wish to emigrate would mean leaving behind her mum and grandfather, with whom she's incredibly close. 

Will a trial week living in Adelaide help persuade Amy that a move is worth sacrificing close family ties? And will the reality of life in Australia live up to Rob's expectations?
