Bowen Family
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?

Update on the Bowen family
After voting undecided at the end of the programme, Amy has now come round to the idea of following Rob's dream and starting a new life in Australia.
The couple stayed in Adelaide for a while after filming had finished, and arranged some job interviews. Although they didn’t secure an offer of employment while down under, since returning home, Rob has continued to have job interviews with potential Australian employers over the Internet.
The couple are widening their career search outside the Adelaide area, and if successful in securing work are hoping to make the move down under within the next six months.
