An updated look at families previously featured on Wanted Down Under.

Life was hard for the Holroyds in 2015. Dad Simon's working week started at 2.45am on Monday morning and didn't finish until after 8.00pm on Friday night. When he eventually got home, he was too tired to spend any quality time with his family. The routine was driving loving wife Helen to tears every day, and threatened to tear her family apart.

Desperate for change, she believed a fresh start for her family in Australia could be the solution. But leaving the UK would also mean Helen having to say goodbye to her mum, the one person who was always there for her at home.

When the family experienced a trial week in Australia, everyone agreed their future would be brighter down under. So one year on, where do they family now call home?

Holroyd family update

When we last caught up with Simon, Helen and the kids, they were loving life in Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast.聽 Simon got a full time job within two weeks of arriving in Oz - doing the same site construction work he had in the UK, but is home every day by 3pm to pick the kids up with Helen! 聽He has even got his own work uniform and pick-up 鈥榰te鈥� already! 聽The family have met lots of lovely people and the kids are both in school and really settling in well.聽 Julie plans to look for a job soon but has enjoyed being at home with the kids for the summer holidays.

The family do miss friends and family back home but are looking forward to Helen鈥檚 mum coming to visit soon for a month.

We wish them all the best!
