Murray Family

Episode 2 of 24

Series in which British families explore the possibility of moving to Australia or New Zealand. Single mum Lisa and ten-year-old Jessica visit Australia's Gold Coast.

Series in which families face a potentially life-changing decision. After spending a trial week living in Australia or New Zealand examining property, jobs and the lifestyle - will they choose to stay in the UK or move to the other side of the world?

Single mum Lisa and her ten-year-old daughter Jessica are finding life in the UK a bit of a struggle. A childcare centre manager, Lisa is often forced to rely on financial support from her father to keep their heads above water. And the realisation she can't provide Jessica with the lifestyle she thinks she deserves is getting her down. Desperate to turn things around and secure a happier, brighter future for her daughter, Lisa believes their situation could be greatly improved by moving almost 10,000 miles away to Australia. But never having set foot in the country before, will the reality of life on Australia's gold coast prove just the ticket they need - or put Lisa and Jessica back where they started?

Murray family update

We caught up with the Murray family recently and they are as determined as ever to emigrate.

They have decided to apply for permanent residence so it will take them longer to realise their dream.

They are in contact with the school they visited, as Jessica has set her heart on attending it. Lisa has also made the decision to study for her degree in childhood studies due to feedback she received.

Lisa said applying for Wanted Down Under was the best decision they鈥檝e ever made, as it helped them cement a dream of a better life. The family is hoping to make the move down under in the near future.
