0:00:02 > 0:00:05All of us appreciate having loved ones nearby.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09So what would you do if your partner held a burning desire to move abroad,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12one that would see half a world put between you
0:00:12 > 0:00:15and those you held dearest?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17For the last eight years,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Gavin Butterworth has been chasing a new life in Australia.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24The amount of people I've spoken to who have had regrets about
0:00:24 > 0:00:28doing something similar, I don't want to be one of those people.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31But wife Tracy can't bear to leave family behind.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34My mum and dad are devastated.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Absolutely do not want us to go.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41A week down under sees Gavin trying to sell the dream...
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Would you move to Australia for this house?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm not answering that question yet.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48..before Tracy faces the biggest decision of her life.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I really don't.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Somebody's going to be disappointed. Either Gavin or my family.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Famed for its stunning landscape,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22pristine beaches and laid-back lifestyle,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Australia has been the number one choice
0:01:24 > 0:01:29for Brits seeking a new start abroad for the last 20 years.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31They are drawn by the prospect of a warmer climate
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and more outdoors way of life.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But not everyone makes it work.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Around half of those making the move return home
0:01:39 > 0:01:41with their dreams in tatters.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Tracy Butterworth has already moved once for her loving husband Gavin,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49when sad circumstances saw her pack up
0:01:49 > 0:01:54a successful career in London to move to Northern Ireland.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58With life far from plain sailing ever since, Gavin feels the time
0:01:58 > 0:02:03is now right to consider another move, this time to Australia.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07But in one week, can he persuade Tracy to sign up to a new life
0:02:07 > 0:02:09on the other side of the world?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Flying via Malaysian,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16it takes the family 24 hours to get from the UK to Australia.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19And when they finally touch down in Adelaide,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22there's a slight disagreement on how the trip went.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- I thought it was great. - Yeah, it was good.- I feel good.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Jonah has slept OK, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I thought the flights went well, they went better than expected,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but I don't agree with Gavin - Jonas didn't sleep.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I liked the plane rides.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Gavin can't wait to get the family's week down under started.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Coming into land into Adelaide in Australia felt really good,
0:02:49 > 0:02:52definitely very excited about the job opportunities,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54what might lie in store.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55But Tracy is already questioning
0:02:55 > 0:02:59if the journey she's just made is one everyone could make.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I would be concerned about the length of flight for my parents.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05You know, it's long, it is long.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Gavin could have a tough job on his hands
0:03:08 > 0:03:12if he's to persuade Tracy to sign up for a new life in the sun.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15There's the sun coming through now, a nice cool breeze.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Meet the Butterworths.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Dad Gavin, mum Tracy and three-year-old Jonas live in Belfast.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32But the city is not always where they've called home.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36In their 20s, the couple were living the good life in London.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Loads of our friends moved with us and we just had a ball.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We had a great time, yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45We were very well established and we were both in great jobs.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Really loved London, you know, really loved it.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And then Gavin wanted to come home.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Yes.- I didn't.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Set, go!
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Tracy felt, after seven years in the capital,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02everything they'd worked hard to achieve was a lot to give up.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06But with his dad having fallen ill, Gavin felt the timing was right
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and Tracy stood by his side.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I felt the need to move back home.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15You know, Tracy supported me on that, and I really appreciated that.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18The move went smoothly and Gavin soon proposed.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I was horrified!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Still paying off the ring.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26But we got married and we had a ball, so that was good.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29But life for the couple has been far from plain sailing ever since.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32We got burgled twice.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Gavin's daddy died. - My dad passed away.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Not long after that, I suffered a burst duodenal ulcer
0:04:41 > 0:04:43and lost two-thirds of my blood.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Even growing their family proved a challenge.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48JONAS COUGHS
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Having Jonas was a bit like a miracle baby.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- We really didn't think it was going to happen.- No.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56We had a lot of problems conceiving.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59It was six very long years.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- It's hard thinking back to it, it was a nightmare.- Mm.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12It's been a very, very hard ten years, there's no doubt about that.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Gavin has struggled to find work in his area of expertise -
0:05:17 > 0:05:20the wine industry - meaning he's been forced to take on
0:05:20 > 0:05:23a series of temporary contracts working in film and TV.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26There's been times you've been in and out of work,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28so we've just been down onto one wage,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30we've got a hefty mortgage, it's just felt tougher.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33We had to move out of this house for a year.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36We had to rent it out, and that was financially orientated as well.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Times have been tough, and for the last eight years,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Gavin has been dreaming of another move,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45this time to the other side of the world.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49I think the key reasons behind us wanting to move to Australia...
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Behind Gavin wanting to move to Australia.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58For me, first and foremost, it would be Jonas, um..
0:05:58 > 0:06:00cos I want the best for him.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05A trip the couple took down under 16 years ago made a lasting impression.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Australia was just... It just blew us away, it blew both of us away.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I fell in love with the country.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Shall we do a beach, like a sandy beach? Let's do a new one.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20The country could also be the perfect place
0:06:20 > 0:06:22to get Gavin's career back on track.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27One of the other key reasons why we want to do the move to Australia
0:06:27 > 0:06:31is from a career perspective, it's to get back into the wine industry.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33There's just one problem.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Having already moved once for him,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Tracy isn't keen on doing it all over again.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41In simple terms,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45it is Gavin Butterworth's dream to move to Australia.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48And no, we don't both share that dream.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52He is definitely obsessed about it because he never...
0:06:52 > 0:06:55stops...talking about it.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Most of Tracy's family live just a 40-minute drive away.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Putting half a world between them would be tough.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It's halfway around the world.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13It's so far away.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17And her parents are already distraught at the thought
0:07:17 > 0:07:19of being separated from their grandchild.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22My mum and dad are devastated.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Really devastated.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And absolutely do not want us to go.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Leaving her torn over which side of the world
0:07:35 > 0:07:37would really be best for her son.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41I don't know how you make the decision between Jonas growing up
0:07:41 > 0:07:44with his cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49..and a sunshine life somewhere else.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Gavin understands he's asking a lot of his wife,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55but genuinely believes the benefits of a move
0:07:55 > 0:07:57will be worth it in the long run.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I know it's going to affect a lot of people,
0:08:00 > 0:08:02but I have our best interests at heart.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04The couple are under no illusions
0:08:04 > 0:08:08about the size of the decision they face in the coming week.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13It is...probably the most important week of our lives.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Are we going to be in Northern Ireland with our family,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20or are we going to be halfway around the world?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22How big is that decision?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33To find out if Gavin can persuade Tracy Australia holds the key
0:08:33 > 0:08:37to their future, the family are visiting Adelaide,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39where even in the depths of winter
0:08:39 > 0:08:43temperatures can hit an average high of 16 degrees.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47The Butterworths' base for the week is a two-bedroom cottage
0:08:47 > 0:08:49in the historic inner-city suburb of Unley.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55And even from the car, they like what they see.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59That's our Australia house.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Wow!- Wow!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I think that's gorgeous. - Yes, very pretty.- I love the colour.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Inside, Jonas is impressed.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Do you like it, Jonas?- Yes!- Yay!
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Wow!- Ooh, bedroom.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20There's much more space than Tracy imagined.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25I am just a bit shocked because it looks small from the outside,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27but it's massive, the ceilings are massive.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And Gavin is quick to capitalise on Tracy's reaction.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I think the size is perfect.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- I do, actually.- Would you move to Australia for this house?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'm not answering that question yet.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Tracy may be happy with her home for the next seven days,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45but she's already fearing the decision
0:09:45 > 0:09:48she'll have to face at the end of the week.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I suppose my concern is that I really love it.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55And, you know, I have to think about
0:09:55 > 0:09:59how do I...deal with the situation at home.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Because the situation at home hasn't changed, you know,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05nobody wants us to leave.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Gavin is taking a casual view on the distance from home...
0:10:09 > 0:10:10It is a day on a plane.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13But you could argue it's ONLY a day on a plane.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16..and thinks their temporary home has helped his case.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19She definitely loves it and it's good from my point of view.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24But Tracy's clear she'll need to make up her own mind.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29I think, if Gavin goes on a kind of propaganda exercise for the week,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'll throttle him.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Careful, careful.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41He may be confident now, but Gavin knows the real test is yet to come.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I want this to be as real as possible
0:10:44 > 0:10:46because it is the biggest decision we'll ever make.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Back in the UK, Gavin and Tracy own
0:10:59 > 0:11:03a three-bedroom home in Belfast's leafy suburbs.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Homebird Tracy loves the location.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Close to family, er... we really, you know,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12we've really settled in this community.
0:11:12 > 0:11:13We know a lot of people here.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17If they did move, Gavin and Tracy would rent a property
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and have a budget of £1,200 a month.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Gavin knows exactly where he'd like a home to be.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Something that's close enough to the beach,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27doesn't have to be on the doorstep.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Tracy, however, is thinking more practically
0:11:29 > 0:11:33about how to make the most of Australia's warmer climate.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36We would love something that's very sort of indoor/outdoor.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41You'd live as much outside as you would in. That really appeals to us.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44But you'd want a swimming pool, you would.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Yeah, and big doors that would kind of open out onto a place
0:11:47 > 0:11:50where you would eat outside and sit outside.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57To find out what kind of house
0:11:57 > 0:11:59the Butterworths could rent in Australia,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01today we'll show Tracy and Gavin three properties -
0:12:01 > 0:12:06two on budget and one which could be their dream home.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Only once they've viewed each one
0:12:08 > 0:12:11will they discover how much they'd cost to rent.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12For their first viewing,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15the Butterworths are only a hop, skip and jump away
0:12:15 > 0:12:17from their base in the suburb of Unley.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19The property is a brand-new townhouse
0:12:19 > 0:12:24which boasts great access to transport, shopping and cafes.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Will this shiny new home be the one to convince Tracy to make the move?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33From outside, first impressions aren't great.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Um...I don't know if it's... - Industrial.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Yeah, industrial.- Industrial.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Industrial.- A bit small.- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Doesn't look like a lot of outdoor space.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Inside, the house's layout causes confusion.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- That's the garage, isn't it?- Yeah. Obviously.- OK, that's bizarre.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Gee-whiz!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- It's a big old space. - It's huge.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Tracy just can't get her head around the integral parking.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Living in the house with your car.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07"Who's downstairs?" "The car."
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It's bizarre.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Across the hallway, there's another surprise.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Oh, so it's a bedroom.- OK.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I didn't expect that.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19And Tracy is worried its location could be an issue.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I just wonder how noisy it would be as well if you're down here
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and this is a main walkway.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27I don't think it would be that noisy.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Upstairs, the small size of the property becomes a problem.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Gee-whiz!- OK.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- So it is just this floor.- Yeah.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36So it's like an apartment then.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39But Gavin is quick to point out a positive.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44You see, this is a good-sized balcony, isn't it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Um...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yes, it's a great-sized balcony.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51You know, I think if we were in our 20s, yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Back inside, Tracy warms to the kitchen.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- It's a nice, bright kitchen. - It's lovely, yeah.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah, there's loads of storage.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05But bedroom two is far from what she was hoping for.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- What is in here?- It's a bedroom.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Yeah, it's a bedroom, once again it's small.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11With no windows.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, you've got a bit of light coming from up there.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17A bedroom with no windows, I can't compute.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20And the family bathroom has Tracy putting her foot down.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's too small.- OK.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28It's clear this isn't the property that's going to wow Tracy.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33But even so, could they afford it with their £1,200 a month budget?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Just this space upstairs, it's just tight.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- And the kitchen and living, it's just too tight.- Yeah.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Honestly, if it's not on budget,
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I think it's going to be slightly more,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- cos of the area.- Yeah, I agree.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- Yeah?- Let's see.- Right.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53OK...
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah.- Exactly, exactly on budget.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57That doesn't surprise me.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Is this how you would want to live?
0:15:00 > 0:15:05No, it wouldn't be, if we were a bit younger, didn't have Jonas,
0:15:05 > 0:15:09it probably would work really well. But it's not for now.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11And there's no way I'm moving halfway across the world
0:15:11 > 0:15:12to be in something like this.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- One, two, three...- Go!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Whoa!- Whoa!
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Gavin's mission to move Tracy isn't off to a great start.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Will property two do the job?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It's located in Glengowrie.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Just 10 minutes from Adelaide's best-known beach, Glenelg,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34the location could suit Gavin.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The suburb boasts good schools and transport links.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41But will the house be more family friendly than property one?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- It looks nice, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Instantly, Tracy's reaction is more positive.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- I like it, what do you think? - I like it too.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50I really like it from the outside, it's lovely.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54And inside, Gavin is hopeful.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- Looks like an improvement on the last already, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03The bedrooms get the viewing off to a good start.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04- Looks nice.- Yeah.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Much bigger size than the last one. - Yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Than house number one. Wow, this looks good.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite are a bonus.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's a brilliant size, isn't it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Hello, my boy, is this going to be your room?- Do you like this room?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Bedroom two gets Jonas's seal of approval.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Let me see you sleeping on the bed.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Oh, bye-byes.- He's sleeping.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Oh, he's having a good sleep.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30And in this house, all the bedrooms have windows.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's lovely and bright. I love that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I really love the light.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Definitely picture ourselves living in this property
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- compared to the last one. - Yeah, I feel a bit excited.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45You could be onto a good thing here, Gavin.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48No, I really like this.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Yeah, it's big, isn't it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53The large, open-plan living space is another winner.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56It feels a lot more like what we would have been thinking about
0:16:56 > 0:16:58as a transition home.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03And while the garden is not enormous, one exotic feature proves popular.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06This is great.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08A palm tree in our own back garden.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11I was going to say, I like the tree.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Just one big tree on its own.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Every photograph we send home could be us in front of that tree.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Yeah, definitely.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's nice, it is nice, it's very basic.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24But it's in the right direction, much more what we were thinking of.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Compared to the last one, there's no comparison really.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- The question is, how much is it?- Yeah.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31That's a very good point, Tracy.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It could be a house they could call home,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37but would their £1,200 a month rental budget
0:17:37 > 0:17:39be enough to let them move in?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- OK, price time. - Yeah, I know. What do you think?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I really like it, seems like a good area,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- seems like a good area for young families.- Yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51My worry is that it's above our price.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Cos I would...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- If it is, I don't think it's a lot over budget.- Yeah, I hope not.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I think it's round about 1,300, something like that.- Yeah?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Shall we have a look?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Ooh, right. Now, that's interesting. - Yeah, that's good.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11- That is good.- Yeah.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15It's bang on the couple's £1,200 a month budget.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19And Tracy is beginning to imagine herself in an Aussie home.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- That's reassuring, actually. - Yeah. Yeah.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I like this house. I could really see us in this.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Moving further out of the city into the Adelaide Hills,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34the couple head for what we think could be their dream home
0:18:34 > 0:18:35in the suburb of Belair.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38While the area has a rural feel,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40the city is still within a half-hour drive.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45This home promises breathtaking views across the treetops.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48But will Gavin and Tracy agree it's the place for them?
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I actually quite like it. I like how it looks.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53So far, so good.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- This is going quite high up, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Gee-whiz!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Part of this home's appeal is its height and views.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04But that could be a problem too.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I don't know how child friendly those stairs are.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It would make me pretty nervous, up and down every day.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14The light, welcoming interior, however, wins Tracy's approval.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15- Now...- Wow!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- It's nice.- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- All the glass is beautiful.- Yeah.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I love that you've got both sides, you know, the double aspect.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's a theme that continues through to the kitchen.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- I love all the glass, it's so bright.- Yeah.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You know, that's really pretty.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40And there's a feature tailor-made for wine buff Gavin.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Here, look, Gavin.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Oh, yeah, there you go.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46That would be... that would be you happy.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I might need a bit more space than that, Tracy.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51This property boasts four bedrooms,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55so plenty of space for when family and friends visit.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Oh, right, another room.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And the guest room impresses with an en suite bathroom
0:20:01 > 0:20:04and panoramic views of neighbouring bushland.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Yeah, it's very different to Belfast.- Yeah, it is.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11It's very different to any kind of landscape in Northern Ireland.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13But the best is saved for last.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Oh, my goodness!- Oh, Jonas!
0:20:20 > 0:20:25It's a feature Gavin had been hoping for, and it's heated.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I was not expecting that. It's the whole length of the house.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31You could swim in your own house, could you imagine that?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Can we swim now? - We can't swim today.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39It's got the space and the pool the couple want,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43but Tracy is worried it may not be a practical home for her family.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Everything here is a hazard for a three-year-old.- Yeah.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Those stairs, that balcony, out the back.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53This property may not be right for the Butterworths now,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57but could it be within reach of their £1,200 a month rental budget?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58OK?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00What do you think?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I like the house.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06It's just not a dream house for me and I don't think it is for you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09No, I agree. I think the house is beautiful
0:21:09 > 0:21:14and I think it's a house for people who have maybe older children.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think about 15...plus.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I don't know, I don't think it's going to be £100 more,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23or £100 less, I don't know,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- 1,400 to 1,600, something like that. - Yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- So, will we turn it over?- Go ahead.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Do you want to do it? - No, you do it.- OK.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37So, we were kind of right there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- It's less than what I thought.- Yeah.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44That's just over budget, and Gavin and Tracy think it's a fair price,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47even if the house isn't for them.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It's kind of incredible when you think of the size of this place.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- I know.- Really.- It's a bit of a bargain, really, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59It's been a day of mixed results on the property-hunt front.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Property one's unusual layout and lack of light failed to impress.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10Property two was definitely somewhere the couple could imagine living.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And while property three certainly had the wow factor
0:22:14 > 0:22:16with the pool and panoramic views,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19it wasn't suitable for a family with a toddler in tow.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, when it comes to the vote,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25will the family feel the day's positives outshine the negatives?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Will they choose properties at home or away?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Australia.- UK.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Australia.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43THEY LAUGH
0:22:44 > 0:22:49So, why did you vote for Australia? Based on what we've seen today.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I was going to vote undecided until we went to the last property.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57I just thought it was a lot of property for what you were paying.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59And it was in a nice location.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03For me, nothing caught my heart really today,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05or my imagination or...
0:23:05 > 0:23:10you know, anything that I thought was worth me leaving my home.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Well done, Jonas.- Yes, that was a good one, sweetheart.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- You picked the right country, my boy.- There you go.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Tracy, what's this UK thing all about?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Honestly!
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Tracy's vote for the UK means
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Gavin's vision of a new life down under could be in trouble.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Already on the back foot, discovering if good jobs and good salaries
0:23:35 > 0:23:39could be found in South Australia is more important than ever.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Have a seat.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Back in the UK, Tracy has carved out a successful career for herself
0:23:47 > 0:23:49as a consultant psychologist.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54'I love my job. I've been able to be a part'
0:23:54 > 0:23:58of people recovering or getting better.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Gavin's work life has been more erratic.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04He currently works in film and TV, but hopes a move to Australia
0:24:04 > 0:24:09could see him gain a permanent job in the industry he loves.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10I think I was happiest career-wise
0:24:10 > 0:24:13when I was working with anything to do with wine,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15and it's something I'm really keen to get back into.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20For Tracy, finding a job on a par with what she has now will be key.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25There is no way I would go to Australia if I didn't have
0:24:25 > 0:24:28a career opportunity that matched my career here.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Gavin heads out to McLaren Vale, an hour from Adelaide.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37It's home to more than 125 wineries
0:24:37 > 0:24:42and he knows today is critical if he's is to sell Tracy the dream.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Yesterday she voted for the UK, house-wise,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50so, off on the back foot really, and just a bit nervous about that
0:24:50 > 0:24:54and how things are going to be for her today, as well as myself.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Tracy visits a health centre in Noarlunga, 15 minutes from the city.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02As the main breadwinner and potential visa applicant,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04she's also feeling the pressure.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Both in terms of actual opportunities
0:25:06 > 0:25:11and in terms of the finances, it all feels like it's resting on me.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Hi, Tracy, welcome. - Thank you very much.- I'm Shirley.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18She's shown around by the clinical health nurse Shirley Hunter
0:25:18 > 0:25:23and wastes no time asking about how relevant her qualifications would be.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The skills and training that I would have would be recognised
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- and easily transferable, would they?- Absolutely.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31They'd be recognised here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35And certainly, with that addition to your psychology background,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37very employable.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40OK. OK, well, that's good news for me
0:25:40 > 0:25:43because I've been so worried about that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Meanwhile, in McLaren Vale, Gavin is getting a vineyard tour
0:25:48 > 0:25:50from local winemaker Andrew Wood.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55So, Andrew, what grape varieties are you growing at the minute?
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Personally, for myself,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I concentrate on the new alternative Mediterranean varietals.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So Tempranillo, Montepulciano, Sangiovese.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05And he also gets to work
0:26:05 > 0:26:08tasting some of the fruits of Andrew's labour.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10This is just very smooth, easy drinking,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I imagine it would go well with a lot of food.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Gavin is in his element.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Back at the health centre, Tracy is keen to know
0:26:17 > 0:26:20if vacancies exist for psychologists at the moment.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26- Positions come up, I suppose, as people move into other areas.- OK.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30We recently have just had two positions come up.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34So, Shirley, if I was to start working in SA Health,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37do you have an idea of what the salary might be?
0:26:37 > 0:26:42A full-time rate would start, base rate, would start at 74,000.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That's approximately £37,000.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Well under the £60,000 Tracy currently earns.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52That would probably be less than my NHS wages.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Possibly your level of experience might correspond to
0:26:55 > 0:26:59a different pay range, up to the range of 94,000.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01That sounds a bit better.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05A disappointing salary could be a problem for Tracy.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08To find out about HIS career prospects down under,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Gavin's met up with Marc Allgrove
0:27:10 > 0:27:13of McLaren Vale's Grape, Wine and Tourism Association.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16He starts off asking if his experience in the area
0:27:16 > 0:27:19of international wine sales could be in demand.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The understanding of international markets,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25and in particular the understanding of the demands in those markets,
0:27:25 > 0:27:26would be of real interest to people.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Is there job opportunities, is their buoyancy in the market?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Well, we're just about to fill a role which we advertised
0:27:32 > 0:27:34for a senior marketing professional.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And I think it demonstrates that there are opportunities
0:27:37 > 0:27:38for people with your skill set.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42It's just the news Gavin had been hoping for.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44But what kind of money could he expect to earn?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48If you were offering your experience and your international knowledge,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52anywhere between 85,000 to 120,000 as a base salary
0:27:52 > 0:27:54should be within your expectation.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57That's brilliant, that's excellent, that's just what I wanted to hear.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01That's between about £42,000 and £60,000,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04which could be double what he currently earns in the UK.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's been a day of mixed fortunes.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Meeting up, Tracy is keen to hear how Gavin has fared.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12All right, sweetheart?
0:28:12 > 0:28:17- Good to see you.- And you. - How was your day?- Yeah, interesting.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yeah. You start.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Both individuals I spoke to said that I would expect
0:28:22 > 0:28:26I could get work over here and the money would be a very good too.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29She was very positive about my employability,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33she was very positive about the skills I would be bringing.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37But then Tracy drops the bombshell about her potential salary shortfall.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41What probably wasn't so positive was wages.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It goes from 74 to 94.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Which is, you know, just about...
0:28:47 > 0:28:50I mean, if I went in at 94, that's just about comparable with home,
0:28:50 > 0:28:55you know, so I suppose I was a bit disappointed with that, you know.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58So, when it comes to work opportunities,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00which way will the couple vote?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Australia.- Undecided.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Why?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17I think it's obvious, really, for me.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Does it really look that good for you?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23It really was positive. And I could stand out over here.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27For...for me, I just need more research,
0:29:27 > 0:29:32both in terms of what work's there and financially what that means.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Although she received positive news on the work front, it looks like
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Tracy is still far from convinced her ideal life awaits down under.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50With her yet to vote for Australia, Gavin's dream could be on the rocks
0:29:50 > 0:29:53unless the country's legendary lifestyle can bring her round.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58The family head out of Adelaide to visit a petting farm in Hahndorf,
0:29:58 > 0:30:00an old German settlement.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03And they waste no time in getting up close and personal
0:30:03 > 0:30:05with some of the farm inhabitants.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Aww!- Aww, he's giving you a cuddle.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10What a lovely fella.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12While Jonas plays nearby,
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Tracy confines in Gavin her doubts about a move aren't disappearing.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- It's such a big decision to make. - And the pressure.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Yeah, so I've been thinking about it a lot, you know.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I didn't really sleep much last night thinking about it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29At this point, nothing feels clear to me, particularly.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34My concerns are that, you know, your boxes aren't being ticked
0:30:34 > 0:30:38and I'm really keen for that to happen because, you know,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40for me it's a total family decision.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I can't see myself living here yet.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Their day in the country, though, has impressed everyone.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- BOTH:- One...two...three.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52Whoah!
0:30:52 > 0:30:54And another one!
0:30:54 > 0:30:58This will be something that I would want to do on a regular basis.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Obviously the weather is great, that helps.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Plus you've got the beaches, the wine lands,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05that, to me, is how I would like to live.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Today has been a great day.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Relaxed time in the sun, walking around,
0:31:10 > 0:31:11not feeling kind of burdened.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Oh!- You did it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17I really did kiss a camel.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20It was really good fun at the farm.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It was really good to see Jonas excited,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27and I was really chuffed with just how bold he was with the animals.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30You know, he wasn't scared, he got into it.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Now, more than halfway through the week,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Gavin knows he's got his work cut out to win Tracy over.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40I don't think Australia is living up to her expectations as yet.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44But there's still time to work on her and hopefully it will improve.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Tracy can see both the positives and negatives
0:31:47 > 0:31:49of bringing Jonas down under.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53The outdoor living and him being happy is a great thing,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57and then on the other hand, I know he loves his cousins.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01You know, he really loves Liam and his best mate Nikolai,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03and all his aunts and uncles.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06And I wonder about how much he would miss them.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It's on my mind a lot.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10I really feel exhausted.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11She's torn.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Following her husband's dream will mean devastating her family at home.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Somebody's going to be disappointed.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21You know, either Gavin or my family.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28And that's just... that's how it is.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29Nobody wants us to go,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33and that's lovely too, you know, everybody said don't go.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34It's going to be rough.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Tracy faces a heartbreaking decision, come the end of the week.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47But based purely on lifestyle, how will she and Gavin vote?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Based on our activities today, we vote for...
0:32:59 > 0:33:00- Australia.- Australia.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Australia.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I got it the wrong way!
0:33:05 > 0:33:08THEY LAUGH
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So, Tracy, why did you vote for Australia?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Well, I think it's a no-brainer,
0:33:14 > 0:33:20in terms of being able to live like this at the weekends
0:33:20 > 0:33:23because you can, because it's sunny.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- I'm pleased with your result. Hopefully it continues.- Mm-hm.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Time will tell. - If we get through tomorrow.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- So that was...- Yeah.- A good one.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Well, that's only because you got a vote for your cause.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49A first vote for Australia from Tracy
0:33:49 > 0:33:52means Gavin's dream could be back on track.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55But he knows the finances will need to stack up
0:33:55 > 0:33:57if it's to become reality.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02If they did make the move, the couple would rent their home in the UK,
0:34:02 > 0:34:06and are hoping to achieve a monthly income of £1,300.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09To see if their valuation is accurate,
0:34:09 > 0:34:11we sent round two estate agents.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Where's that?- Where's that?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- It's from Belfast. - It is Belfast, sweetheart.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Just as well we got those gates fixed.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Very lovely first impressions of the property.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Lovely, lovely kitchen.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Breakfast area, absolutely gorgeous.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33GAVIN LAUGHS
0:34:34 > 0:34:37The master bedroom, good-sized double room.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Oh, I say, I really love this,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42this simply adds to the whole character of the building.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Everything that you would want from a bathroom.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47They did well to do that bathroom in two weeks
0:34:47 > 0:34:49and turn it around with all the tiles.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51If the owners wanted to rent the property,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I would suggest a figure of £850 per calendar month.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Around £875-£900 per month.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01We need a bit more than that on the rental.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07Estimates came in more than £400 less than they had hoped.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10But how would the couple fare financially in Australia?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18They sit down to compare the costs of living in Australia with the UK,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20starting with a weekly grocery shop.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Tracy, bacon is cheaper.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Now, come on. That is a good thing for you, you are a bacon fiend.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30One thing I'm noticing in the ones that are less here,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32they're not much less,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35it's not like there's anything really standing out.
0:35:35 > 0:35:365.72.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42A difference of £24.26p.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45£100 more on food per month won't break the bank.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47But what about the bigger bills?
0:35:48 > 0:35:53Gavin and Tracy base their sums on the first two properties they saw.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59- Just electricity is almost double. I'm surprised that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Um...the wine is more expensive, which is surprising.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04It's not much more expensive,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07but we live in a wine-producing country, it's a bit disappointing.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Very little difference. If you think about that...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12So we're talking just £75. I'm quite surprised by that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I thought it was going to be a lot more.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Yes, I thought it would be a lot more.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21Spending just £75 a month more down under is a good result.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24And when they take their potential earnings into account,
0:36:24 > 0:36:26the overall figure is staggering.
0:36:26 > 0:36:32- We'd be...- £1,745 per month better off.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33- Pounds.- Pounds.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Tracy is in disbelief.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40It's so high, I can't get my head around it, like I can't belief that.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45With life in Australia seeing them better off by over £20,000 a year,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Tracy is overcome, as she realises what that could mean for her family.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51SHE SOBS
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Not necessarily.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00This is so hard.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03And we'd be leaving home.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07I really don't.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12So, will it be a clean sweep
0:37:12 > 0:37:17as the couple choose between finances in the UK and Australia?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Australia.- Australia.
0:37:25 > 0:37:26It's just a lot of money, isn't it?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28It's a lot more money than we're used to,
0:37:28 > 0:37:30so I think that's the right vote, Tracy.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- I couldn't vote in any other direction on that.- No.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Fair enough.- Yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44A massive uplift in finances was just impossible to argue with
0:37:44 > 0:37:46and has helped Gavin's cause.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48But the week is far from over,
0:37:48 > 0:37:52and Gavin is about to face potentially his biggest obstacle.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55While Jonas is looked after by a childminder,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57the couple sit down to watch messages
0:37:57 > 0:38:00from friends and family back in the UK.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Hi, Gavin, Tracy and Jonas. Hope you guys are well.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Hello, Tracy, Gavin...
0:38:05 > 0:38:07..I hope it's snowing.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I'm hope you're having a fabulous time.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I'm sure there's been some wine tasting.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Gavin is gregarious and outgoing,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17he loves life.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Tracy is very adventurous, great fun, great craic.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24And just a really, really good friend.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Little Jonas gets on very well with our kids.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30And, you know, I think they'd be
0:38:30 > 0:38:33saddened if they went to Australia.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37The main trouble is
0:38:37 > 0:38:42how many visits that we will be able to have
0:38:42 > 0:38:43with them or to see them again.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Cos we're a very close family.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51If you choose to move, obviously we'll support you all
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and obviously we'll fly out and see you.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56And we love you.
0:38:56 > 0:38:57To make a move like this...
0:39:04 > 0:39:06..at their age...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I'm not 100 percent on it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Best of luck to yous, but...
0:39:14 > 0:39:15You know, we still want you here.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20You have to follow your heart.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27But I think you have a good life here.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31But you'll go with my blessing if you choose...
0:39:32 > 0:39:33..to go.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36SHE SOBS
0:39:43 > 0:39:44- It's tough.- Mm-hm.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's the family that's the hard stuff.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53You know, they are literally thinking
0:39:53 > 0:39:56they will have another couple of times in their lives seeing us.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00You know, if we have to arrive back and say we're actually going to go,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02nobody is going to want us to go.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Hm. I thought you did well, sweetheart. Well done.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Leaving loved ones at home has always been
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Tracy's biggest concern about a move.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17And tearful messages have been a painful reminder
0:40:17 > 0:40:19of who she'd be leaving behind.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Now, the family are about to decide, once and for all,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25where they'll spend the rest of their lives.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Will Gavin get the go-ahead for the life he wants for his family,
0:40:29 > 0:40:34or will Tracy decide home is where her heart is?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43Tracy is well aware how much a move means to her husband.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I think Gavin really, really wants this.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I think he's very committed to this move.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55The amount of people I've spoken to who have had regrets about
0:40:55 > 0:40:59doing something similar, I don't want to be one of those people.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03But over the years, his dream has put Tracy under pressure.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06I have wondered, on and off, is Gavin just asking too much?
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Sometimes, when I'm feeling very emotional,
0:41:10 > 0:41:11I've thought, yeah, he is.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13You know, this is really selfish.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22And her main fear hasn't diminished across the week.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26If we make the move to Australia, what we face is probably a year
0:41:26 > 0:41:34of, you know, very uncomfortable kind of emotions and stress.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39And kind of misery, trying to leave family.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Gavin is more than ready for a resolution to their dilemma.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48It's really important for us to have a clear decision.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53We've spent the last eight years kind of in limbo,
0:41:53 > 0:41:55so it's of paramount importance today.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59And Tracy does feel she's finally reached a verdict.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I've made a decision and it feels like
0:42:03 > 0:42:06it's something that's kind of settled.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09So, where will the family's future lie?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12We've had a fantastic time here in Australia thus far
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and our final vote goes to...
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- Australia.- Australia.- Australia.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30Are you sure?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Er...no.- Right.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35But I've done a lot of thinking about it
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- and I been really trying to think about what do I want.- Mm-hm.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40And...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44You know, I want to give it a go, yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Nice decision.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Whoo-hoo!
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Don't you dare put me in the water, Gavin Butterworth!
0:42:56 > 0:43:00After an emotional week, the improved life Tracy feels
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Australia can offer her, Gavin and Jonas
0:43:03 > 0:43:06has been enough to sway her decision.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Ahead of them lies tough farewells and plenty of packing.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15But also, hopefully, a prosperous new beginning under the Australian sun.
