BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 12, Jones Family

Claire Jones has always thought her future lies in Oz but her hubby says it's a bad idea.

Claire Jones has always believed her family's future lies in Australia. But husband Jason says it's a really bad idea and feels she isn't living in the real world.

Claire and Jason Jones from Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales have decided it is time once and for all to find out if Australia really is the land of their dreams for them and their two little boys. 

Claire caught the Australian bug at an early age when her aunt emigrated as a Ten Pound Pom. She made it sound so magical that Claire's family thought about making the move themselves, twice! The first application fell at the visa hurdle, but the second time a certain gentleman got in the way! Claire had just met Jason and had fallen in love. The move was put on hold.

Up until now, it's a decision neither regrets. They've built a happy life in Wales with their two boys, a nice house and good jobs. But recently the weather and relentless lack of any sort of work/life balance has begun to get to Claire.

Australia is back on her agenda with a vengeance and she believes the time to make the move is now. Claire has just seven days to show Jason the sort of life they could have, and afford, if they located to Brisbane.
