Reeves/Sibson Family

Episode 19 of 24

Families consider relocating down under. Can James convince his partner Kelly to buy into his dream of making Australia their home?

Since visiting Australia on a family holiday over ten years ago, James Reeves has been obsessed with making the country his home. He celebrates Australia Day over St George's Day and regularly cooks kangaroo burgers for tea.

But while his actions have given children Ewan and Evelyn an appetite for their dad's dream, partner Kelly just doesn't share his enthusiasm. With strong family ties in the UK, she hates the sun and doesn't enjoy travelling, so tempting her to relocate to the other side of the world is proving challenging. A trial week in Melbourne could be James's best chance yet at getting the life he wants.

Reeves Sibson family update

The Reeves Sibson family were recently in touch to let us know they are still living in the UK.

After their trial week, they spent a few more weeks in a different area of Melbourne and absolutely loved it.

They have now decided to move to Australia in three years. They would really love to move sooner but need to save more money before making the move.

The family are moving house shortly and the kids have also got some new pet rabbits. Despite the new exciting developments in the UK - they鈥檙e all missing the Australian weather big time!
