An Australian man who hasn't seen his kids in more than two and a half years is heading to our shores to see if they are here.

It is believed eight-year-old Serena and seven-year-old Thomas were abducted by their mother, Jane.

Court orders are in place in Australia for their recovery. Interpol are also trying to track down the trio.

Harry Speath told Mike Hosking on the last day he saw the children, he knew something was wrong.

"Particularly when Jane came to pick them up, because of the way Thomas broke down. He was just so distraught and clinging to me for dear life.

"Had Jane talked about this sort of thing? She had. I just never really believed that she would do it."

Speath is in Christchurch today, speaking to local Police and communities.
