More than ten years after they originally decided to move to Australia, British couple Steve and Dianne Hargreaves emigrated from Preston to Perth with their two children in 2018 and starred on the BBC’s Wanted Down Under TV show.
They discuss why they came to Australia, how they got their visas, what it’s like behind the scenes filming for the show, how their children - who were aged 4 and 9 at the time of the move - have settled in, buying land and building their dream Aussie home.
The Hargreaves also shed light on the differences in their working lives, their salaries, the cost of living and lifestyle in general since making the move. They discuss the difficulties of applying for jobs in a new country, career changes, leaving family behind and finding new friends
