France-Brotherton Family

After a vicious attack, the France-Brotherton family moved from South Africa to the UK. But dad Craig wanted an outdoors life. Nicki Chapman discovers if they moved to Australia.

The France-Brotherton family emigrated from South Africa to the UK in 2002 after a vicious attack on their home. While wife Chantelle had settled into British life, husband Craig still yearned for the outdoors lifestyle offered by the southern hemisphere and was keen to move his family to Australia.

On a trial week in Perth, Chantelle was worried whether she would have the strength to move halfway around the world again. One year on, Nicki Chapman discovers if the family went ahead with a new life down under.

UPDATE- The France-Brotherton Family

The family are continuing to enjoy living in Australia.聽 They have bought a new home in the suburb of Sinagra and enjoy sunset views over Lake Joondalup. 聽Craig has recently purchased a very large canoe so Chantelle forsees the family spending much more time on the water.聽 Both Craig and Chantelle are happy in their full time jobs and the children are flourishing in their new schools and enjoying the outdoor lifestyle.聽 They still miss friends and family in the UK and are very grateful to all those who have made the trip to visit them.
