BBC One - Wanted Down Under, Series 11, Evans Family

Can Australia give Laura the family time she is missing out on in the UK?

Families consider relocating down under. Will a week in Perth show Laura that Australia can give her the family time she is currently missing out on?

Laura Evans thought her life would be perfect when she set up her dream bridal business but, although business is booming, she didn't realise just how much she would have to sacrifice to succeed. Now working seven days a week, she has precious little time with her husband Andrew and young son Brodie. Desperate to turn things around, she thinks life could be better in Australia. Although she has never been, Andrew has told her all about it, following his travels there over ten years ago.

Will a trial week in Perth convince both Laura and Andrew the country really does offer the work-life balance they crave, or will they decide the emotional cost of leaving loved ones at home is too high a price to pay?
