Hoe Family
Craig Hoe wanted more time with his family, and thought moving to Australia was the answer. Four years after a trial week in Queensland, where do they call home?
An updated look at families previously featured on Wanted Down Under.
In 2011 plumber Craig Hoe was desperate to spend more time with his family and believed a move down under was the answer. On a trial week on Queensland's Gold Coast, however, he had his work cut out persuading the rest of his family to emigrate. Wife Lisa didn't share his dream of a life in Australia, and daughter Ellie faced a heartbreaking choice.
Four years after their trip, have they made the journey to the other side of the world?
