0:00:02 > 0:00:04Leaving everyone and everything you know
0:00:04 > 0:00:07to move halfway across the world isn't for the faint-hearted,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10so how would you convince the love of your life
0:00:10 > 0:00:12to do it...for the second time?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Ever since a holiday there in his 20s,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Richard Restarick's yearned to live in Australia.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21It would mean a massive amount to me.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24It's just something which has constantly been a thorn in my side.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27But his wife and daughter aren't keen on a move.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I'm going to put my foot down and I'm not going to go.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33A week in Australia soon sees them won round.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Oh, my God!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Now you're talking!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40This is a perfect house to live in.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42But will the thought of leaving loved ones...
0:00:42 > 0:00:45I feel very sad.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..see Richard's dream bite the dust?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49- Lift. - SHE SCREAMS
0:00:49 > 0:00:50No!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Every week, the equivalent of a jumbo jet full of Brits
0:01:16 > 0:01:20leave the UK to start a new life in Australia,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23a country with nearly 40,000 miles of stunning coastline
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and an average temperature of 22 degrees.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29But not all that glitters is gold.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Around half of those making the move end up returning home.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Richard Restarick is a man on a mission.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41He's wanted to live in Australia since his late teens
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and now the pressures of running his own business
0:01:43 > 0:01:46have made his desire to move stronger than ever.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51But there's one major stumbling block in Richards way -
0:01:51 > 0:01:53wife Nieva.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Having already crossed continents once to be with him,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59she doesn't fancy doing it all over again.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Persuading her could be mission impossible.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The family's journey involves a flight that,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08after a nine-hour delay in Kuala Lumpur,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11takes nearly 34 hours to reach Australia.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15When they finally arrive in Adelaide,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17the flight has clearly affected Richard.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19After the journey, we're really tired.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's been that long since, I've even forgot where I am.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24On the journey to here,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29my dad just got his head on the beam on the seats.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Was like... - NIEVA LAUGHS
0:02:31 > 0:02:33The long trip has given everyone plenty of time
0:02:33 > 0:02:37to think about the distance they've put between family.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I had a lot of thoughts on the plane about the length of the journey,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41about the older relatives in my family
0:02:41 > 0:02:43being able to make the journey coming here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46That's not fair for Grandma,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48not fair for your mum to travel that far.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I don't think they're going to make it. Nobody will come.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It's his first trip to Australia since 2005
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and Richard is keen to see if the country lives up
0:02:57 > 0:02:59to his expectations.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I need to get outside and start exploring, to be honest.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I can't wait to get out of the airport and have a look round
0:03:04 > 0:03:06and just see if it's how I remember it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10As they head off into Adelaide, their entire future is riding
0:03:10 > 0:03:13on what unfolds over the next seven days.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Meet the Restaricks from Norfolk.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29They're dad, Richard, mum, Nieva and seven-year-old Isabel.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Nieva has come a long way from a hard upbringing in the Philippines.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40We lived in a squatters area.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Financially, we cannot buy everything that we want.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46It's very tough to live there.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Your parents would just have, like...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50A bowl of rice.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52..a bowl of rice while they had the meat.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Growing up, money may have been tight,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57but when it came to having a close-knit family
0:03:57 > 0:04:01and loving friends, Nieva wasn't lacking.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm very close with my family.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You know, I've only got one sister and my mum and my dad that's there.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I've got a very good social life in the Philippines.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I've got my high school friends with which I really get along well,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19and still met them in college and everything.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23After studying accounting, Nieva found work as a clerk.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Meanwhile, 7,000 miles away,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31future husband Richard was in his late teens
0:04:31 > 0:04:34and jetting off on the trip of a lifetime
0:04:34 > 0:04:36to Australia with his mum.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37We travelled quite a bit.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We done quite a lot of Australia and we really, really enjoyed it.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45The country captured his heart and Richard couldn't wait to return.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49When I came back in September from Australia,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I was then saving up to travel around
0:04:51 > 0:04:54and do a bit of backpacking by myself.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57But all plans were put on hold when stars collided
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and he met the love of his life online.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Courtesy of Bill Gates really!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03THEY LAUGH
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Wouldn't have done it without him, would we?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07No.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11First time I heard your voice, I go, "He sounds like Harry Potter.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- "So posh!" - THEY LAUGH
0:05:14 > 0:05:17The couple quickly fell for each other.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Ten months later, Nieva was by his side in the UK
0:05:20 > 0:05:21and they were married,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25but the romance meant Richard's Australian savings were gone.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Everything I had saved up basically went into
0:05:30 > 0:05:31getting Nieva back here.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Yeah, everything for Australia, it just vanished.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39For Nieva, leaving her home country and family was tough.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's very hard to leave them because it's my life.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47When I left them, I was in tears in the airport because
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm like, "What am I doing?"
0:05:49 > 0:05:50It was painful.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Settling into her new life in the UK wasn't any easier.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Always in the house, spending most of my time there
0:05:58 > 0:06:00because I have nobody, I don't know anybody here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06It was a tough time, that time.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Slowly and surely over the years,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Nieva has rebuilt a solid social circle.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14My friends here in the UK, they're quite crazy and fun.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- ALL:- # Why do you build me up, buttercup, baby
0:06:19 > 0:06:20# Just to let me down... #
0:06:20 > 0:06:23When I see them, we go out, we go for a disco.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26We are crazy enough to enjoy each other's company.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31The couple have now been married for, um, how long, Nieva?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Nine years. Over nine years.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Is that right?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40And she's loving life in Britain.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42My life today is very happy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'm very comfortable. It's like I win a lottery, to be honest.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49But the picture isn't as rosy for Richard.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Working long hours,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53the responsibilities that come with running his car mechanics business
0:06:53 > 0:06:55has put him under pressure.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57We've been through a really tough time recently.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59We've had to make a couple of people redundant,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and it's been a lot of stress.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I work so many hours.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Once again, Richard's thoughts
0:07:08 > 0:07:11have turned to returning to Australia.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's definitely become more of a burning issue recently.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15With everything that's been happening at work,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18it would mean a massive amount to me to move to Australia.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's just something which has constantly been
0:07:21 > 0:07:23a thorn in my side for a long time now.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27But he could have a fight on his hands persuading Nieva.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Having already moved across the world once,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32she's not keen to do it a second time.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Leaving everything behind again, starting all over again,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39is that meaning me not having friends for a year?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Is there somebody to play with?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Not having that again, not at this age.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48She also fears starting again in a new country
0:07:48 > 0:07:51could mean a return to the financial difficulty
0:07:51 > 0:07:52she experienced as a child.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57My fears to Australia is to lose the security
0:07:57 > 0:07:59and go back to zero again.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Izzy is with her mum on opposing the move.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06My dad told me that ever since he was young,
0:08:06 > 0:08:10he wanted to go to Australia.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I never wanted to because I'll really miss my friends
0:08:14 > 0:08:16and family who lives here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Richard's hoping Australia will give his family
0:08:19 > 0:08:22a brighter future, but Nieva could be tough to persuade.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24If this proves wrong,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and I really have a strong feeling this is wrong...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30..I'm going to put my foot down and I'm not going to go.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45The Restaricks are spending their trial week in Adelaide,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49voted Australia's most liveable city three years in a row.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Their base for the week is in Seacliff,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55just a 20-minute drive from Adelaide city centre.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's wet and dark when the family arrive,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03but that hasn't dampened Richard's spirits.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06The house is nice.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09The high ceilings are really nice, aren't they?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Nieva isn't going to be swayed that easily.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'm not very keen about the floor.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Whoa.- This is awesome...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19But the open-plan living space is a hit.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Quite like it. That's open area. That is just lovely.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- I'll sit down and watch TV and talk to you while you're cooking.- Hmm.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Oh, this looks so cute.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32As they settle in, Richard knows he's got his work cut out,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36especially after having arrived in less than ideal conditions.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I think I've got to really pull out the stops during this week
0:09:40 > 0:09:42to convince them after the rain and everything,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but I think the weather is going to improve, you know,
0:09:45 > 0:09:46and they'll enjoy that.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Izzy's castle bed can fit in quite nicely there, won't it?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51No.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54But there could be another storm on the horizon
0:09:54 > 0:09:57in the shape of Nieva's concerns about uprooting her life
0:09:57 > 0:09:59for a second time.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01'It's pretty scary, to be honest.'
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I mean, when I moved to the UK, I'm young,
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and you know, with yourself when you're young,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10you easily get friends.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14And Richard is well aware he'll also have to sell the dream
0:10:14 > 0:10:15to his daughter this week.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21You know, she's got as much right in this family to make a decision
0:10:21 > 0:10:23as what me and Nieva both have,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and if she's not convinced and Nieva is not convinced,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28then it's a no-go, you know.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31It's going to be an end of the line for us.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36If I move here, I'll really miss my very close friends at school
0:10:36 > 0:10:40and some...and not at school.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Love got in the way of his last return to Australia.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The week ahead could be Richard's final shot
0:10:46 > 0:10:48at ever calling the country home.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51When you've spent your whole life thinking about this place
0:10:51 > 0:10:55and now I've got the chance to prove to my family
0:10:55 > 0:10:57that it's the right thing to do,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59yeah, there's a lot riding on this week.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Back in the UK, the Restaricks own a detached house
0:11:14 > 0:11:16in a quiet part of Thetford in Norfolk.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We love this house, don't we? It's everything I wanted.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22I've got a room big enough to watch TV in with the speakers
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and everything I want in it.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27It's got our own personal touch to it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29The only thing we don't like about this house
0:11:29 > 0:11:31is there's no privacy in the gardens at all.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34You don't like it when I go out in the garden with my boxer shorts on
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- to go to the garage, do you? - THEY LAUGH
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Yeah. Boxer shorts!
0:11:39 > 0:11:41The family's budget for buying a house in Australia
0:11:41 > 0:11:43would be £300,000,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46and one thing's right at the top of Richard's wish list.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Swimming pool.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- THEY LAUGH - Don't care. That's it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53If there's a swimming pool,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56it's going to be a proper dream house.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And properties down under will need to impress
0:11:58 > 0:12:01if Nieva's to be persuaded to make the move.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What I've got right now is the house I want to stay forever
0:12:04 > 0:12:08until I die, so the Australian house has to be better.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14To find out what kind of house
0:12:14 > 0:12:17the Restaricks could call home in Australia,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19today we'll show Richard and Nieva three properties -
0:12:19 > 0:12:23two on budget and a third which could be their dream home.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Only after they've seen each one will they discover it's value.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30For their first viewing,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33the family travel northwards along the coast to Henley Beach.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Just 15 minutes from the city,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37it's a popular choice with families
0:12:37 > 0:12:40looking for an easy-going beach-side vibe.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Will this three-bedroom home be enough to wow Nieva?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Outside, first impressions are good.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's very pretty.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Look at that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51We cannot afford this.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54You don't know that yet, Nieva!
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Inside reactions are positive.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Wow.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Oh, wow!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Wow.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05It's beautiful.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06It's a lovely room.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08See yourself living here?
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:13:10 > 0:13:13That's a great start.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15But in the master suite...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Ah, Mommy and Daddy's room! - Wow.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20..one Aussie feature seems to be missing.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24The only one this has hasn't got is the built-in wardrobe,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27which I thought all Australian houses got.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But on closer inspection...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- ALL:- Whoa!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Where is my wardrobe going?!
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Whoa!
0:13:34 > 0:13:35It's both!
0:13:35 > 0:13:37My shoe rack!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That's enough. That's perfectly good enough for me.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Do you like it?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- I love it.- It's great. It's awesome.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Never had a walk-in wardrobe before. - HE LAUGHS
0:13:47 > 0:13:49The positive vibes continue in the kitchen.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- Goodness.- I told you! Oh!
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Wow!- Oh, my gosh. That's it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- That's it.- Wow.- My room. My room!
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Ooh!- Wow.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Outside, Nieva spots an appealing feature.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06What's that?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Hot tub!
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Hot tub!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Oh, yeah!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Richard strutting around in his boxer shorts
0:14:14 > 0:14:16shouldn't be a problem here.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18And how secluded it is as well, babe.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Even though there's houses around, there's nobody that can see you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23You can skinny-dip in this one, babe, yourself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Skinny-dip!
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Uh, OK!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Nieva could be coming around to Aussie living, as could Izzy.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- I actually want to move here. - Do you? Yes!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37But not that much.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Tomorrow?- No! - HE LAUGHS
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- I'm just thinking about it.- OK. OK.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Nearly.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Richard's work isn't done quite yet,
0:14:45 > 0:14:50so is this house one they could afford with their £300,000 budget?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51So, the big question -
0:14:51 > 0:14:54do you think we can afford this house?
0:14:54 > 0:14:55No.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I think the house is worth, like, £350,000 to £400,000.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07I think probably around about £275,000 to £325,000.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Hmm.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Turn it over, Izzy.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Oh, my gosh!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's only £4,000 over budget.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Not bad!- It's all right, yeah.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- Good start.- Good start.- Yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I can't wait to see the rest!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Richard could be off to a good start.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Next, the family head to Golden Grove,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37half an hour inland from the city.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40With excellent schools nearby and well-kept parks,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43it's an area that's proved popular with British families,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46so will this home appeal as much as the last?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Outside, the house's setting impresses.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- ALL:- Wow.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It feels like on top of the world here, isn't it?
0:15:54 > 0:15:55It's very imposing, isn't it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Look at that view there.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, it's a stunning view, isn't it?
0:16:01 > 0:16:04And inside it doesn't disappoint either.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Oh, wow.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08It's beautiful. It's far bigger than the other one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- The master bedroom hits the spot. - Our room!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- They've all got front bedrooms, haven't they?- Look at the view!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Babe, can you imagine that, sitting down there
0:16:17 > 0:16:20when you wake up with that view?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23But Richard and Nieva are already worrying about the price.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I reckon it's going to be expensive.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Mm.- Yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28It looks like it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32A luxurious en-suite temporarily puts pay to money worries.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Whoa!- Oh!
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Yeah!
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Now you're talking! - NIEVA LAUGHS
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Richard, you could be onto a winner.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44This is my dream bathroom!
0:16:44 > 0:16:48With four bedrooms, two dining areas and two living rooms,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51this house offers plenty of space for the family.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- Nice open plan. Yeah.- Look what they left behind.- That's very nice.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57NIEVA GASPS
0:16:57 > 0:17:01And then you've got another entertaining area here as well.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03So, you could even have that as your front room.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Outside lies the feature Richard was hoping for.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10This is perfect.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Perfect. When you come to Australia, this is what you expect, isn't it?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17You know, the big house with the swimming pool.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20You know, it's just the stuff what dreams are made of.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23This house has blown everyone away,
0:17:23 > 0:17:27but will it be beyond their budget of £300,000?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Hmm.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Well, I'd say it's impossible we can afford this, but let's see.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I want to turn that card.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37It's got to be £500,000.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40It's not going to be, like, £350,000, £400,000.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Impossible.- No, it's going to be sky-high over our budget.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Can I do it now?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Yeah. Go for it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- NIEVA GASPS - Oh!- No way!- What?!
0:17:53 > 0:17:57That's £4,000 below budget.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59No way!
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Impossible!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03No! No way!
0:18:04 > 0:18:07£296,000?!
0:18:07 > 0:18:09And Izzy is so smitten,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12her opposition to a move could be melting away.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Just buy it.- Just buy it. Yeah.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18We could get a very good house for that money.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21This is a perfect house to live in.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22It is.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Richard's dream has received a shot in the arm
0:18:24 > 0:18:26and there's still one more house to view.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Staying in Golden Grove,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38we've found what could be the family's dream home.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41It's situated in one of the area's more desirable pockets,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45and as soon as she sets eyes on it, Nieva is ecstatic.
0:18:45 > 0:18:51No way! No way!
0:18:51 > 0:18:52You're joking me!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54NIEVA LAUGHS
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- That one?- Yeah, that one. Yeah. - HE LAUGHS
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Izzy is in disbelief.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Are you 100% sure we're in the right place? Cos I'm not.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Yeah. Yeah.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- This is where we've told to be, Izzy.- Oh.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Inside, everyone's enthusiasm grows.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Oh!- Wow.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16This feels like you're walking into a stately home, doesn't it?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22The property boasts four bedrooms and a study.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26But it's the master suite that dazzles them the most.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Oh, my gosh!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34A walk-through wardrobe's hidden behind the bed.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- It's a lot more space. - That's really, really different.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38I've not seen that before.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41But the icing on the cake is the en-suite bathroom
0:19:41 > 0:19:43where all the best things come in twos.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47His and hers, babe! The shower is his and hers as well.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Can you imagine if the bedroom is this good,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52what's the rest of the house like?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Oh, my God. Let me see. I'm going to go first.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Nieva just can't contain her excitement
0:20:00 > 0:20:02when they step into the kitchen.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Oh, my God!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- HE LAUGHS - No way!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10We can't afford this!
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Even the kitchen is worth the house of our house!- Look outside!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Then Izzy spots something through the window.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- ..outside!- Outside! Oh, that is a clean pool.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I feel it. This is my house...for the day.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- The sun is there is well. - I love this.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Absolutely love this. Absolutely love this.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39This is just something you'd see a movie star staying in or...
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yes.- Do you know what I mean? - Yes, that's right.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Not for average people like us.- No.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45Not at all.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Everyone loves this house,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52but is it reserved for the rich and famous as Richard fears?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55The family's budget is £300,000.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00So, what do you think of this house, Izzy?
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- I don't know why the people want to sell it.- No, I don't.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06A nice house to live in.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08How much is this house worth?
0:21:08 > 0:21:15For me, I would say probably £500,000.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Yeah.- £600,000. - I would say exactly the same.- Yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Probably right near that half a million mark.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21- Yeah.- Or more.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Please, take me out of my misery. - OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Come on, Izzy.- Let's do it. - Let's do it.- In three, two, one.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Whoa!- Whoa!- Oh, my goodness.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36It's £98,000 over budget, but...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38That's a lot more for £100,000.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40In the future.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43We cannot afford that!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Let's see if I win some lottery back home, shall we?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'm going to start going to lottery.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- I have to be in it to win it.- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- That's cheap, though.- It is cheap. - A lot of house for that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55For the house, yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59It's been an eye-opening day property hunting for the Restaricks,
0:21:59 > 0:22:01with each house eclipsing the last.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Property one wowed Nieva with this impressive master bedroom
0:22:06 > 0:22:08and a place for a dip in the back yard.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Property two upped the stakes with Izzy wanting to move right in
0:22:13 > 0:22:16and the pool Richard desired.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20But property three was a real winner, with curb appeal in spades,
0:22:20 > 0:22:24a dream kitchen and all the space the family could need.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28So, with all that in mind, how will the Restaricks vote
0:22:28 > 0:22:31when it comes to choosing between property at home or away?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- Australia!- Australia!
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Wow.- Oh, wow.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46What do you like, Izzy, the most?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I really like the houses with the swimming pools.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I thought you were going to be the hardest to persuade about Australia.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It's open-plan and that's what I like the most.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Yeah, it's got to be Australia.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- Yeah, Australia is good.- Yeah. The houses are fantastic here.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02This is a great turnout.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04First round of voting, and we've got Australia.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07You've still got that job and the rest to go, babe.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I've got the ultimate decision to make at the end.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16A full house of votes for Australia
0:23:16 > 0:23:19means Richard's week is off to a solid start,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22but there's still some way to go yet
0:23:22 > 0:23:24if he's to get Nieva and Izzy fully on board.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Back in the UK, Richard runs a garage with his mum,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34but that responsibility means there's little room for time off.
0:23:36 > 0:23:42Probably do 60, 70 hours a week working for 12 days on the trot,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and then I have the two days off on the weekend
0:23:45 > 0:23:47to spend with my family, which isn't enough, really.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Nieva is a book-keeper and works at the family garage.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I love my job because of the flexibility
0:23:56 > 0:23:59that I can work at any time I want.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02I can still spend time with Izzy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05In Australia, Richard would be hoping to free himself
0:24:05 > 0:24:07of the pressures of running a business
0:24:07 > 0:24:09and work for someone else.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11It's not been the easiest of time.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12I've been bringing home a lot of stress.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14You know, I haven't been myself because of it,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16and I just need a change.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Nieva, meanwhile, won't move if it would mean putting
0:24:20 > 0:24:23her career aspirations on ice.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26If I can't find work in Australia, I would rather stay here in the UK
0:24:26 > 0:24:29because there's a future prospective for me.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I'm thinking of being a qualified accountant here in the UK
0:24:31 > 0:24:35because I'm so settled now, I can actually start studying.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41As the couple head out to explore their work opportunities in Adelaide,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Richard's feeling the pressure.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Today is a really, really stressful day, to be honest.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47I've been dreading today.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50If you're not going to earn the money
0:24:50 > 0:24:52but you want to buy the houses what we saw,
0:24:52 > 0:24:55then it kind of bursts the bubble a little bit.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00We sent Richard to a large car dealership
0:25:00 > 0:25:02where he met service manager Craig.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Desperate to discover if he could reduce his working hours,
0:25:07 > 0:25:12Richard wastes no time asking Craig about typical Aussie shifts.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14What is your normal working day for a mechanic?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18We work Monday to Friday, from 8 o'clock until four or six,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21which gives the 7.6-hour day with a half an hour lunch break
0:25:21 > 0:25:24and a 15-minute morning tea break.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30And our technicians work three Saturdays on and one off each month.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33That's much better than working 12 days on the trot,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37but would Richard's qualifications transfer down under?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Well, mechanical ability and skill should be transferable
0:25:39 > 0:25:41and acceptable in Australia.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's great news, to be honest. That's fantastic.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Just what I wanted to hear.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47So far, so good for Richard.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Meanwhile, Nieva has got an appointment in central Adelaide
0:25:50 > 0:25:54with Andrew, who runs an accounting firm.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Hello.- Hi, Nieva. I'm Andrew. Welcome to Evans + Ayers.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02She's keen to hear if she could fit a working day around caring for Izzy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04We're quite flexible.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I like to make sure I go to all my children's events,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12and I try to ensure that staff have the same opportunities,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14cos you need happy staff at the end of the day.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16But with her qualifications and experience,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19what kind of role does Andrew think she could secure?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I would have no issues with your qualifications
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and for you working as a book-keeper accountant
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and then working your way through, and then it's based on experience.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29And you have training on the job
0:26:29 > 0:26:32and you can attain qualifications on the job.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I can apply to any job!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37SHE GIGGLES
0:26:37 > 0:26:40It's not the kind of reaction Andrew is used to,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but being able to pursue a career as a fully-qualified accountant
0:26:43 > 0:26:46is a massive plus for Nieva.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm very happy to hear that, Andrew.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm very, very happy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's something that would probably make me think that,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55"Yeah, I want to move to Adelaide."
0:26:55 > 0:26:58OK, Andrew, now the big question. How much would I earn?
0:26:58 > 0:27:03Full-time, you'd probably earn about 60,000 Australian
0:27:03 > 0:27:05to 70,000 Australian.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07SHE GASPS
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Wow.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Working full-time could see Nieva earn around £35,000 -
0:27:13 > 0:27:16more than triple what she gets part-time at home.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I have to ask my mother to give me a pay rise
0:27:19 > 0:27:20if I'm staying in the UK.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Well, we're not paying you as much now, 'cause of...
0:27:22 > 0:27:25THEY LAUGHS
0:27:25 > 0:27:27That is good.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29It's been a great day for Nieva.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Across town, Richard is getting to the all-important question.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37So, what would I be expected to earn if a position was available?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Anywhere from around 50,000 to about 57,000
0:27:41 > 0:27:44is a general wage.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46That's about £25,000,
0:27:46 > 0:27:50way below the £40,000 Richard brings in at home.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52I'm a little bit shocked at that, to be honest.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54You know, I was expecting to be paid, you know,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57a little bit more with the skill and the qualifications I've got.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00A shrinking salary is a big blow.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04I feel quite deflated, to be honest. It's quite a big dent.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07I wasn't expecting the wages to be quite so low,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09in all fairness.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I think it's just a little bit too low to make a good go of things,
0:28:11 > 0:28:12to be honest.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The couple have had very different results
0:28:17 > 0:28:20on earnings today, so how will that affect their vote?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Australia!- UK!
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Oh...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34You knew that was going to come, didn't you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- SHE LAUGHS - No!- Yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Am I turning then?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- I've been voting Australia twice now.- That's all right.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- That's good.- Oh.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I'll just send you out to work.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47I'll just live the life of luxury, become a house dad.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Oh, that's not a bad idea. - THEY LAUGH
0:28:55 > 0:28:57It's a case of tables turned.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59While Nieva's eyes have been opened
0:28:59 > 0:29:02to the upsides of life in Australia,
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Richard's reluctantly launched his first vote for the UK.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Spending a day experiencing Australia's great outdoors
0:29:09 > 0:29:13under a sun-kissed sky could be just what's needed
0:29:13 > 0:29:15to not only keep Nieva on board,
0:29:15 > 0:29:18but also persuade Richard a smaller salary
0:29:18 > 0:29:19is a sacrifice worth making.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24The family head to West Beach
0:29:24 > 0:29:27where they meet world-class speed skater Carly
0:29:27 > 0:29:29for an in-line skating lesson.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Morning.- Morning. - How are you doing?
0:29:31 > 0:29:32How are you, guys?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Who feels like doing some skating this morning?- Yeah.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Please teach us, please.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43While Richard and Izzy are quick to get their skates on,
0:29:43 > 0:29:44someone's struggling.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- SHE SCREAMS - No!
0:29:56 > 0:29:58It's exactly the kind of family time
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Richard's been craving.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Doing all the activities out in the glorious sunshine,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06it's pretty cool, to be honest.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09You know, you don't normally get this weather in England. It's nice.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11It's really nice.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13And Izzy seems sold.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17I've really enjoyed the roller-skating.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21I'm not certain that my mum is very good at rollerblading.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23LAUGHTER
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Ooh!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Cos when she just couldn't get up, that was very funny.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I'm going back!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Don't think a career as a skater is on the cards, Nieva.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39'I look like a crab trying to stand up on it.'
0:30:39 > 0:30:42She actually managed to make me stand up, which is...
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I'm quite pleased.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45THEY LAUGH
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Thank you!
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Over an ice cream, Nieva is quick to confess
0:30:50 > 0:30:54the country's climate at least could be winning her around.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I think it's been brilliant, you know.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01I mean, it started really gloomy and everything. Like...
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Bank holiday weather when we got here.- Bank holiday weather, yeah.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07But now today it's brilliant.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08How about you?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11How do you feel about after finding out about the job, that it's not...?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Yeah, put a bit of a downer on things, didn't it, really?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16But it's not deterred me in any way, I don't think.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19You know, I still really like the place.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22You know, money, as we know, doesn't buy happiness, you know.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23It doesn't.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27I just want to be able to live a normal life without the stress.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Richard believes a lower salary might be a worthwhile compromise
0:31:30 > 0:31:32for the dream he's chasing.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35You can work to your heart's content,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37but if you can't go out and enjoy yourself,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40then you're not living, you're just existing,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42and this is why I want to come here.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46But Nieva is less certain compromising their finances
0:31:46 > 0:31:47is worth the risk.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51I'm thinking about the UK, how affordable the life is there.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I personally like our life in the UK because we can do this on holiday.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- Yeah.- We still have to find out more about the finances here.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01And having experienced poverty first-hand,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04she's keen to avoid being in that position again.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I don't want to struggle cos I struggled when I was young
0:32:06 > 0:32:09and I don't want to come back to the same position.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Richard, though, is staying positive
0:32:11 > 0:32:15and hoping today has worked more wonders on his wife.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I'm very surprised the way Nieva has been voting in Australia,
0:32:18 > 0:32:23and to have two cards so far for Australia is quite impressive.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25I'm hoping it's going to be number three today.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Is Richard right?
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's time for everyone to vote
0:32:28 > 0:32:31on Australia's lifestyle versus the UK's.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Based on the activities that we've done today,
0:32:35 > 0:32:36our vote goes for...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- ALL:- Australia!
0:32:50 > 0:32:51All of us, Australia.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- That's another vote for Australia! And you!- Look at the weather!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- We can do far more...many things in this sort of weather.- Yeah!
0:32:58 > 0:33:01It's pretty awesome, isn't it?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- It's been a great day today. - It's lovely.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05You know, I can get used to this as well.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Walking on the beach.- Mm-hm.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18With Nieva and Izzy sold on Australia's lifestyle,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Richard could be one step closer to persuading them to make the move.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25First, though, he'll have to address Nieva's concerns
0:33:25 > 0:33:27on finances down under.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32They think their home in the UK is worth around £240,000.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34To see if their valuation is accurate,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36we sent round two estate agents.
0:33:36 > 0:33:37A-ha!
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I like the look of that house, though.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Great spacious entrance hall. Tiled floor. Ideal for children.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51It's a nice size lounge. Well presented.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Obviously, a children's playroom. Could be a home office.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59THEY LAUGH
0:34:01 > 0:34:05So, a fantastic size conservatory, great space for entertaining.
0:34:05 > 0:34:06Floor's a little bit worn.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- NIEVA LAUGHS - We need to change that one!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Just a little bit. - Just a little bit!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14OK, a really good size family garden.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16May want to just pay some attention to the fence panels,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18which are broken to one side.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I knew they'd show that. I told you to fix them!
0:34:23 > 0:34:28In the current market, I would value this property at £260,000.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29Wow.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33For a quick sale, I would suggest marketing the property at £240,000.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Oh.- That's all right.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I would value this property at £265,000.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43For a quick sale, I would ask £250,000.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Quite surprised by that, to be honest.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I think that's a lot more than what we paid for it, isn't it?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It is a lot more what we paid for, but we've done loads of work.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53We've done loads of work to it,
0:34:53 > 0:34:55but it's more than what we thought it was worth.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Valuations higher than they'd hoped for is a good start.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Next, the couple move on to comparing costs down under -
0:35:02 > 0:35:04starting with a weekly food shop.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Do it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08You're better with numbers than me.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Bananas.- 6.22.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15No, that's Australian cost in pounds.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Oh, my God!
0:35:16 > 0:35:19I cannot eat banana here.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Washing powder is cheaper.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26205.53.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- Worse off at £6.85?- Mm-hm.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Spending just £35 a month more on food shouldn't cause
0:35:32 > 0:35:33too many problems.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- That's doable.- That's doable.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Next, they take a look at their bigger outgoings,
0:35:38 > 0:35:41basing their figures on the second property they saw.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Look at the mortgage. - It's cheaper.- Mm-hm.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Electricity is more.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49The transport is good.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5016.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52100.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53In total, the couple work out
0:35:53 > 0:35:57they'd be spending £139 a month less in Australia.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- That's cool.- Wow.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04But based on Richard's lower potential earnings down under
0:36:04 > 0:36:08and Nieva working part-time, the overall outcome isn't as rosy.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13So, we'd be £1,361 a month worse off.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18The couple would be more than £16,000 a year worse off.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19- Wow.- That's a lot of money.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- That is a lot of money.- That's a lot of money to lose.- Mm-hm.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25But once again, Richard's remaining positive.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30But... Money doesn't buy happiness, babe.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31It doesn't.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And if we can afford to live a comfortable life
0:36:34 > 0:36:37rather than an extremely comfortable life,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40then it's still an option, isn't it?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- It's your call.- Mm.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44It's your call.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Despite putting on a brave face, the figures are disappointing
0:36:48 > 0:36:51and the Restaricks would be significantly out-of-pocket
0:36:51 > 0:36:54if they move to Australia.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Will that prove to be a pill too bitter to swallow
0:36:56 > 0:36:58as they cast their votes?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Australia!- UK!
0:37:08 > 0:37:09What?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11When you've got to lose £16,000 a year,
0:37:11 > 0:37:12it's a lot of money to lose.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- But it's another one for Australia for you, isn't it?- Uh-huh.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18I haven't got that much money when I was in the Philippines,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21and I'm happy, and you know, we can work things out here.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22- Mm-hm.- We can work things out here.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31While the finances down under didn't work in Richard's favour,
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Nieva has been reassured life could still be comfortable in Australia
0:37:35 > 0:37:39and he remains convinced having less money isn't everything.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44But perhaps the biggest challenge of the week remains.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48With Nieva and Izzy voting for Australia all week,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50will hearing from friends at home
0:37:50 > 0:37:52see them change their minds on a move?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Do you want to watch a video from our family and friends from the UK.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59OK. Let's watch then.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Hi, guys. Really missing you.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Hello.- Hi.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Hello, you lot out there in the sunshine.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Miss you!- Good luck, girls!
0:38:09 > 0:38:10THEY LAUGH
0:38:10 > 0:38:13As a family, they're very close. They do everything together.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15He'll do anything for any of his mates.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18If somebody's in need, he'll be there.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I think he's a fantastic son.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25You know, he's very caring. He's really, really hard-working.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30She's always funny and whenever I'm upset, she makes me laugh.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- She's a very integral part of the circle of the friends.- Yeah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36When she said that Nieva and the family
0:38:36 > 0:38:39will be going to Australia, it was a bit of a shock.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Oh, she's crying already!
0:38:44 > 0:38:46It'd just be gutting to lose a long-term friend,
0:38:46 > 0:38:50especially a good friend who's always there for you.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52To lose that would be really hard.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I would hate it.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I would really hate it.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Not being able to see Izzy, not being able to talk to Richard
0:39:00 > 0:39:03when I wanted to, ask his advice.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08Going out for meals with them, everything. That'll just all stop.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09I don't want her to leave.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15It's OK.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24Nieva, Richard, Izzy, go with whatever is in your heart.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I need my mate back and have good times again,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28so hurry up and come home.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Please be careful and look at all the pros and cons
0:39:31 > 0:39:33before you make this big decision.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36You can choose whatever you want, but hopefully you stay here.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- That was tough. - That was a bit hard, wasn't it?
0:39:43 > 0:39:44Now I don't want to move.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Now you don't want to move? - Back to zero.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Back to zero again now!
0:39:49 > 0:39:50What about you, babe?
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- It's a bit hard. - Yeah, it is, isn't it?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55You know... I can't.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Hm?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- I'm being too emotional.- OK.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13Nieva and Izzy have been left reeling as the emotional cost of a move
0:40:13 > 0:40:15has hit home, and that could be enough
0:40:15 > 0:40:19to see Richard's long-held dream bite the dust for good.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23As their trial week in Adelaide draws to a close,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25where the family will decide to spend their future
0:40:25 > 0:40:27is far from certain.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Since he first set foot in Australia in his 20s,
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Richard has been keen to return for good.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39While there's been some bumps this week...
0:40:39 > 0:40:41It's still a bit hard for me to take that
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I'm going to have such a big pay cut.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46..the country's proved to be everything he remembered.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49It's exceeded my expectations.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52I've just loved every second of it.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Nieva and Izzy's opposition to the move
0:40:54 > 0:40:57has softened dramatically over the last seven days.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I said to myself, "I should not like it,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01"I should not like it, I should not like it,"
0:41:01 > 0:41:04but how can you not like it?!
0:41:04 > 0:41:07As the week went on, well, it just became hotter
0:41:07 > 0:41:10and I really enjoyed it.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13But messages from home have now given them pause for thought.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Everything is brilliant here,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21but sometimes having your family around you and friends,
0:41:21 > 0:41:25the sort of friends that you have through thick and thin,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28sometimes that's more important than having the sun.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33I feel very sad 'cause I'll leave behind
0:41:33 > 0:41:36so many people that I've known for years.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44And knowing how Izzy feels could mean Richard is uncertain too.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Am I doing the right thing?
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Is she going to hate me for it if I move her out here?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Whether Richard will return down under for good
0:41:52 > 0:41:55rests on his family's final turn of the cards.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Based on the amazing experiences we've had in Australia
0:41:59 > 0:42:00over the last few days,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03waking up to the beautiful views every morning,
