Jones Family
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.

The Jones family update
Claire has worked hard studying for further qualifications and remains hopeful they can make the move to Australia.
Jason is no longer against the prospect of moving down under, with the early sunsets being his only minor draw back. Rio would love to take the plunge...providing he can take his Manchester United curtains with him! And Rowan being Rowan, is still saying he is in favour of the opposite but really couldn't care less.
Unfortunately, the family's beloved fur baby dog, Harry, has passed away after 11 wonderful years together.
