Teenage dreams are hard to beat.

0:00:020:00:04

But if yours involved

0:00:040:00:06

packing up and moving to Australia,

0:00:060:00:08

how hard would you try to make it come true?

0:00:080:00:11

Especially if your partner just isn't interested

0:00:110:00:14

in living on the other side of the world.

0:00:140:00:17

Jimmy Hedworth's desperate to return to the country

0:00:180:00:21

that's stolen his heart.

0:00:210:00:22

There's no negatives in my head about moving over there at all.

0:00:220:00:26

But homebird Sharday isn't quite so positive.

0:00:260:00:29

I'm ying, you're yang, that sort of thing.

0:00:290:00:32

When a trial week down under shows her the reality of Aussie living...

0:00:320:00:36

I couldn't see myself living here.

0:00:360:00:38

..will it take Jimmy closer to his dream

0:00:380:00:40

or push his relationship to breaking point?

0:00:400:00:43

It upsets me that the bond

0:00:430:00:48

between me and Jimmy is breaking down.

0:00:480:00:50

It might be 10,000 miles away,

0:01:140:01:17

but Australia remains the top destination of choice

0:01:170:01:20

for Brits looking for a one-way ticket

0:01:200:01:22

to a better life abroad.

0:01:220:01:24

A warm climate, strong economy,

0:01:240:01:26

and stunning natural scenery are just some of the draws.

0:01:260:01:30

Around 2,000 miles north to south

0:01:310:01:34

and almost 2,500 miles east to west,

0:01:340:01:37

it's the world's largest island,

0:01:370:01:39

and as big as the dreams it holds.

0:01:390:01:41

Since visiting Australia in

0:01:430:01:45

his teens,

0:01:450:01:46

Jimmy Hedworth could think of nothing else but moving there.

0:01:460:01:49

Now a dad,

0:01:490:01:50

he's more determined than ever to give his young family

0:01:500:01:54

the lifestyle he dreams of.

0:01:540:01:56

But it'll take more than the promise of some sunshine

0:01:560:01:59

to win over partner Sharday,

0:01:590:02:01

a self-confessed homebird, who's never ventured outside of the UK.

0:02:010:02:06

Now Jimmy has one week in which to persuade Sharday

0:02:060:02:10

the grass could be greener on the other side of the world.

0:02:100:02:15

The journey begins with over 20 hours in the air,

0:02:150:02:18

flying from London to Melbourne via Dubai and Sydney.

0:02:180:02:21

And first-time flyer Sharday's relieved

0:02:240:02:26

when they finally touch down.

0:02:260:02:29

I've been worrying that the flight's going to go wrong,

0:02:290:02:31

and we're all going to...

0:02:310:02:33

..die!

0:02:340:02:35

THEY LAUGH

0:02:350:02:36

Baby Maia was more laid-back.

0:02:360:02:39

Eight months old and she just sort of took everything in her stride.

0:02:390:02:43

Jimmy's already thinking about the task in front of him.

0:02:430:02:46

This week, I need to convince Sharday

0:02:460:02:48

it's the right move for all of us.

0:02:480:02:49

I need to convince her that my job will provide us

0:02:490:02:52

a dramatically different lifestyle to what we've got back in the UK.

0:02:520:02:55

And he knows there could be pitfalls ahead.

0:02:550:02:58

This week is going to be one of our biggest weeks as a couple.

0:02:580:03:01

To me, it's either we're together or we're flying back, not.

0:03:010:03:05

Back in the UK, Jimmy Hedworth,

0:03:140:03:16

partner Sharday Romain and baby daughter Maia

0:03:160:03:19

live in Nottinghamshire along with Jimmy's family.

0:03:190:03:23

The couple are proof opposites attract.

0:03:230:03:25

I'm outgoing, Shard's not too outgoing.

0:03:250:03:28

I love sport, Shard hasn't got any interest in sport whatsoever.

0:03:280:03:30

-I hate sport!

-Here she is, tea's here, love.

0:03:300:03:33

Want some tea.

0:03:330:03:34

I like spending money on clothes.

0:03:340:03:36

-It works out.

-Yeah.

0:03:360:03:38

But it works. We're good.

0:03:380:03:40

THEY CHATTER

0:03:400:03:44

One thing they definitely don't have in common

0:03:460:03:49

is Jimmy's passion for Australia.

0:03:490:03:52

It's one of those visions

0:03:520:03:53

where I just think the grass is definitely greener.

0:03:530:03:56

There's no negatives in my head about moving over there at all.

0:03:560:04:00

Jimmy talks about moving to Australia every day.

0:04:000:04:03

He's just nonstop talking about it.

0:04:030:04:05

It's driving me crazy.

0:04:050:04:07

Jimmy's been obsessed with moving down under

0:04:070:04:09

ever since visiting the country

0:04:090:04:10

with his dad and brother ten years ago.

0:04:100:04:13

Everything about it was just perfect.

0:04:130:04:15

I just thought, "This is where I want to be."

0:04:150:04:18

But Sharday, who's never even been on a plane before, is sceptical.

0:04:180:04:22

He went out there when he was a child.

0:04:220:04:25

A lot of things change.

0:04:250:04:26

And you don't know what it's going to be like.

0:04:260:04:28

I don't think anywhere's that great.

0:04:280:04:31

Sharday's reluctance is also fuelled by the knowledge she'd need consent

0:04:310:04:35

from her oldest daughter's dad

0:04:350:04:37

before she could up sticks and move her to the other side of the world.

0:04:370:04:41

But for Jimmy, the first challenge

0:04:410:04:43

is getting Sharday to see the country's potential.

0:04:430:04:46

And that could prove easier said than done.

0:04:460:04:49

I need to convince a person that's never been on a plane before

0:04:490:04:53

to move to the other side of the world

0:04:530:04:56

which I don't think is a small task.

0:04:560:04:58

Currently working round-the-clock as an electrician

0:04:580:05:01

while Sharday stays at home with the baby,

0:05:010:05:03

Jimmy believes moving could help bring

0:05:030:05:05

his young family closer together.

0:05:050:05:07

I'll be at work at like, I don't know, might be half nine at night,

0:05:100:05:14

ten o'clock at night, I've got Shard ringing me, like, in tears.

0:05:140:05:18

It's one of those things

0:05:210:05:23

where you want to be around more for your kids.

0:05:230:05:26

You want to be around more for Shard.

0:05:260:05:28

Because I'm here all day within these four walls with the kids

0:05:310:05:35

and it is draining emotionally and physically, like draining.

0:05:350:05:39

Can I have a chicken tikka masala, please, with pilau rice.

0:05:390:05:43

He hopes higher wages in Australia

0:05:450:05:47

will help them afford their own home.

0:05:470:05:49

And while she's grateful for Jimmy's family's support,

0:05:490:05:53

that's a move Sharday would welcome.

0:05:530:05:55

It gets quite tough, living here.

0:05:560:05:59

I'll probably cry once every couple of days.

0:05:590:06:04

-You're beautiful this evening, babe.

-Thanks.

0:06:040:06:06

There's times when I get wound up.

0:06:060:06:08

And I just think, right.

0:06:080:06:09

I'll do a few more hours at work

0:06:090:06:11

to try and get us out of the situation a lot quicker.

0:06:110:06:14

And then again, that causes tension, you see,

0:06:140:06:16

because she needs me in the house doing stuff to help her.

0:06:160:06:19

The couple agree changes need to be made

0:06:230:06:25

if they're to secure a future together.

0:06:250:06:27

And for now, Jimmy's pinning all his hopes on Australia

0:06:270:06:30

being the country they should call home.

0:06:300:06:33

I've put it on the pedestal that this is the answer.

0:06:360:06:40

And if it's not the answer,

0:06:400:06:42

then I don't know what is the answer

0:06:420:06:45

to make our family unit a lot happier.

0:06:450:06:47

To find out if Australia can give them

0:06:540:06:56

the lifestyle Jimmy's been dreaming of

0:06:560:06:58

AND keep him and Sharday united,

0:06:580:07:00

the family is spending their trial week in Melbourne,

0:07:000:07:03

capital of the state of Victoria.

0:07:030:07:05

To reach their temporary base,

0:07:060:07:08

they head to the northern suburb of Gladstone Park,

0:07:080:07:11

around 12 miles from central Melbourne.

0:07:110:07:13

Home for the week is a spacious four-bedroom rental property.

0:07:130:07:18

But what will Sharday think of her introduction to Aussie living?

0:07:180:07:22

It's modern. I like it.

0:07:220:07:23

Actually, I really like it.

0:07:250:07:27

-It's nice.

-BABY CRIES

0:07:270:07:29

Ah, do you not like it?

0:07:290:07:31

Don't cry!

0:07:310:07:33

But baby Maia is not so sure.

0:07:330:07:35

She's all right, really.

0:07:370:07:38

Hopefully, inside will be to everyone's taste.

0:07:380:07:41

This is all right, Shard, nice hallway.

0:07:410:07:43

I think the hallway's quite narrow.

0:07:440:07:47

Jimmy needs Sharday to be open-minded

0:07:470:07:50

if the next seven days are to go his way.

0:07:500:07:52

Meanwhile, baby Maia has got him wrapped around her finger.

0:07:520:07:56

I'm not sure if we can have this room now, Shard.

0:07:560:07:58

I think she's made herself quite at home, hasn't she?

0:07:580:08:00

-She's claimed it.

-Saying, "No, Dad, you're not having this bed."

0:08:000:08:05

With Maia safely sleeping,

0:08:050:08:07

the couple check out the rest of the house.

0:08:070:08:09

And Jimmy wastes no time getting straight to the point.

0:08:090:08:13

Do you think somewhere like this would convince you to move?

0:08:130:08:17

Yes and no.

0:08:170:08:18

It is nice, but I couldn't see myself living here long-term.

0:08:180:08:22

The week ahead could see Jimmy's dream

0:08:230:08:25

AND his relationship with Sharday

0:08:250:08:27

pushed to the brink.

0:08:270:08:28

In the UK the family are living in Jimmy 's parents house

0:08:350:08:38

in the village of East Leake,

0:08:380:08:40

while they save to buy a home of their own.

0:08:400:08:42

It is cramped.

0:08:420:08:44

Communal living area between five adults and two kids isn't great.

0:08:440:08:48

We've got three bedrooms upstairs,

0:08:480:08:50

we've kicked my brother down onto the sofa.

0:08:500:08:52

-Things are...

-It's very cramped.

-Cramped at the minute.

0:08:520:08:55

But it's not just a lack of physical space.

0:08:560:09:00

I just tiptoe around everyone else

0:09:000:09:02

not being able to say what you want to say

0:09:020:09:04

because you don't want to cause a rift and everything.

0:09:040:09:07

So what would they like from a place in Australia?

0:09:070:09:10

It's got to be within a very close distance to a golf club.

0:09:100:09:14

Definitely four beds,

0:09:140:09:15

just in case someone wants to come over and stop.

0:09:150:09:18

Or if we want to have another.

0:09:180:09:20

No, we're not having another child.

0:09:200:09:22

No, OK, that's dealt with.

0:09:220:09:23

As long as we have a good living area downstairs, then I'll be happy.

0:09:230:09:29

Just somewhere for the kids to run around.

0:09:290:09:32

With a maximum budget of £270,000...

0:09:320:09:36

..Jimmy hopes to find a home Sharday will be happy with.

0:09:370:09:40

The house is essential, to have, you know...

0:09:410:09:45

-Right.

-..right for Shard, more so than me.

0:09:450:09:49

To find out what kind of house they could have,

0:09:500:09:52

we'll show the family three properties,

0:09:520:09:55

two on budget

0:09:550:09:56

and a third which could be their dream home.

0:09:560:09:59

Only after they've seen each one will they find out its value.

0:09:590:10:03

That's a nice house.

0:10:030:10:04

I don't like it.

0:10:040:10:06

While baby Maia is looked after by a childminder,

0:10:060:10:09

the couple head for the town of Sunbury,

0:10:090:10:11

around 25 miles from central Melbourne.

0:10:110:10:14

It's a popular area for families looking for affordable housing.

0:10:140:10:18

I do like this neighbourhood.

0:10:180:10:20

-It's nice.

-I think the best thing about it...

0:10:200:10:23

Everything's well kept.

0:10:230:10:24

Yeah. I was just about to say that.

0:10:240:10:26

Will this three-bedroom home get their search off to a good start?

0:10:260:10:30

-Nice.

-It is nice, isn't it?

0:10:320:10:34

Bit steep!

0:10:340:10:35

Oh, I'm quite scared to get out of the car!

0:10:360:10:39

With high hopes, they head indoors.

0:10:410:10:43

A lot lighter than the one we're stopping in, isn't it?

0:10:430:10:46

-Yeah.

-So I'm already impressed.

0:10:460:10:49

First impressions are good,

0:10:490:10:51

but will the positivity continue

0:10:510:10:53

in the open-plan kitchen-living area?

0:10:530:10:55

This is nice, Shard, I think.

0:10:570:10:59

The living room is quite small.

0:11:010:11:02

It's a lot more room than we've got

0:11:040:11:06

at the present time at Mum and Dad's!

0:11:060:11:08

So I mean, maybe we're just getting a bit greedy for space now

0:11:080:11:11

cos everywhere seems like it's got that...

0:11:110:11:13

Yeah, but you want it to be perfect if we're going to move.

0:11:130:11:15

Sharday could prove hard to please, but perhaps the garden area

0:11:150:11:19

will get her seal of approval.

0:11:190:11:21

This is a nice outdoor living space, Shard.

0:11:210:11:23

Lovely. I don't like this table being here.

0:11:230:11:26

Well, we can change the table, Shard, can't we?

0:11:260:11:28

That's not a massive thing.

0:11:280:11:30

Back inside it's Jimmy's turn to be picky

0:11:330:11:36

when they check out the main bedroom.

0:11:360:11:38

Master bedroom.

0:11:380:11:39

Front of the house.

0:11:390:11:40

Not sure how I feel about that.

0:11:400:11:42

What about the en-suite?

0:11:420:11:44

Oh, that's picked up a little bit.

0:11:440:11:46

-Quite big as well.

-Yeah.

0:11:460:11:47

And I like the natural light that comes in from the big window there.

0:11:470:11:51

-Tiny little bedroom.

-It is quite small.

0:11:550:11:58

Just a small room, isn't it?

0:11:580:12:00

This isn't big enough for what I think we need.

0:12:010:12:04

I don't know, maybe it's a bit of an anti-climax for me,

0:12:050:12:08

I thought there'd be a bit more.

0:12:080:12:10

After the start, this is not doing it for me.

0:12:100:12:13

No.

0:12:130:12:14

The bedrooms haven't measured up and the discovery of a small closet

0:12:140:12:18

leaves them both confused.

0:12:180:12:19

What's this?

0:12:210:12:23

Surely not another bedroom!

0:12:230:12:24

THEY LAUGH

0:12:240:12:26

Doesn't sound like this is the property

0:12:280:12:30

for either Jimmy or Sharday.

0:12:300:12:32

It's a nice house but it's not our house.

0:12:320:12:35

No. It's not our house.

0:12:350:12:38

But is it within their budget of up to £270,000?

0:12:380:12:42

I wouldn't be happy paying more than £215,000.

0:12:440:12:47

I think it's going to be more 230.

0:12:470:12:50

Do you want to have a look?

0:12:500:12:52

256.

0:12:570:13:00

I'm really not happy with that.

0:13:020:13:04

It might be within budget, but it's still not a hit.

0:13:040:13:08

For what this is, for that price...

0:13:080:13:10

-..it's not great.

-Not great at all.

0:13:110:13:14

We need a pick-me-up after the last one.

0:13:200:13:22

Yeah.

0:13:220:13:23

Jimmy 's campaign to convince Sharday

0:13:240:13:26

to make the move is off to a shaky start.

0:13:260:13:29

Hopefully, the next property

0:13:290:13:30

will give them the space they're after

0:13:300:13:32

at a price they are willing to pay.

0:13:320:13:35

-Ah, look at that little park.

-Yeah.

0:13:350:13:37

That's good.

0:13:370:13:38

It's on the Highlands Estate in the suburb of Craigieburn.

0:13:380:13:41

With nearby schools and playgrounds, it's a perfect area for families.

0:13:410:13:46

I think that's like a community area, isn't it?

0:13:460:13:48

-Yeah.

-Your little cafe...

-Everyone just goes there.

-Yeah.

0:13:480:13:50

And with large parts of the estate still under construction,

0:13:500:13:54

it also promises more value for money.

0:13:540:13:57

But will the chance to check out a display house

0:13:570:13:59

help cement Jimmy and Sharday's opinions?

0:13:590:14:02

What do you think to that, Shard?

0:14:040:14:06

-Building site?

-It would be in there.

0:14:060:14:08

If it was finished to the standard of the rest of the estate,

0:14:080:14:11

I'd be happy living by it.

0:14:110:14:13

Hopefully, inside can build on their optimism.

0:14:130:14:16

Oh, Shard, look at that.

0:14:180:14:19

The whole reason why I want to move here is for an entrance like that.

0:14:200:14:23

It's wide, it's nice, but...

0:14:230:14:25

..I'd like it bigger.

0:14:270:14:28

No harm in dreaming big, Sharday.

0:14:300:14:32

But there's still more to see.

0:14:320:14:34

Master bedroom.

0:14:350:14:37

This is what I'd be looking for.

0:14:370:14:38

This house could be a better fit for them.

0:14:390:14:42

His and hers sink.

0:14:420:14:44

-I like that.

-Like that a lot.

0:14:440:14:45

Mine will be tidy, yours will be messy!

0:14:450:14:48

-Shower's massive.

-Love that shower.

0:14:480:14:49

Absolutely love that shower.

0:14:490:14:51

It's big enough for both of us.

0:14:510:14:53

THEY LAUGH

0:14:530:14:55

Hopefully, the rest of the house is as good.

0:14:550:14:57

Fingers crossed, Jimmy.

0:14:570:14:59

Next up, the kitchen-living area.

0:14:590:15:01

The living area is fantastic.

0:15:010:15:04

I'd probably put the sofa back a little bit more.

0:15:040:15:07

But that is, that's brilliant.

0:15:070:15:08

That is nice.

0:15:080:15:09

An extra sitting room causes some debate.

0:15:090:15:12

I wouldn't use it for this purpose, I'd use it as a diner.

0:15:120:15:16

I like this for the fact that you could say, you two,

0:15:160:15:18

get yourselves in there.

0:15:180:15:20

Then that would make this room just another room for them to mess up.

0:15:200:15:24

I think we'll have to disagree on this one.

0:15:240:15:26

Well, I'll be the one tidying up, so for me,

0:15:260:15:28

I'd like to keep it one space at a time!

0:15:280:15:31

Sharday might have the trump card there, Jimmy.

0:15:320:15:35

What about the outdoor area?

0:15:350:15:37

I think with the finish on this house, I mean the astro grass,

0:15:370:15:41

it provides a bit more.

0:15:410:15:42

What about the kids are barefoot? It's quite hard to step on.

0:15:420:15:45

The garden isn't child-friendly enough for mum, Sharday.

0:15:470:15:51

But with up to £270,000 to spend,

0:15:510:15:55

the couple are still curious to find out how much the house costs.

0:15:550:15:59

I think 270.

0:16:010:16:03

I think, a bit beyond the higher end.

0:16:030:16:05

I'd be happy paying something like 265 for this.

0:16:050:16:08

OK, do you want to turn the card?

0:16:080:16:09

261!

0:16:140:16:15

I was close.

0:16:160:16:17

It's within budget...

0:16:180:16:20

..and less than Jimmy expected.

0:16:210:16:24

Can you see the grin on my face?

0:16:240:16:25

-Yeah, I can, I can.

-We could live comfortably at that.

0:16:250:16:28

We couldn't get a three-bedroom semi in Nottingham...

0:16:280:16:30

-Oh, no.

-..for something around that figure.

0:16:300:16:33

This is nice, isn't it?

0:16:360:16:38

This is a very nice estate.

0:16:380:16:40

Things are looking up for Jimmy.

0:16:400:16:42

To see the final property of the day,

0:16:420:16:44

the couple head for the suburb of Doreen,

0:16:440:16:47

just 20 miles from central Melbourne.

0:16:470:16:49

I wonder if it's this one, there?

0:16:490:16:51

-Do you think it is?

-No.

0:16:510:16:53

-No.

-It's too posh.

0:16:530:16:55

It's too big for us.

0:16:550:16:57

Sitting in the foothills of the Yarra Ranges,

0:16:570:17:00

and surrounded by pockets of farmland,

0:17:000:17:02

the area is more rural in feel,

0:17:020:17:04

so could be perfect for bringing up a young family.

0:17:040:17:07

-What if it's this one?

-I hope so.

0:17:070:17:10

Satnav is saying it's here.

0:17:100:17:12

-I think we're here.

-Let's have a look.

0:17:120:17:14

We think this spacious four-bedroom house could be their dream home.

0:17:160:17:20

But will Jimmy and Sharday agree?

0:17:200:17:23

-Ah, Shard.

-This has got that same sort of,

0:17:230:17:26

wow factor to it, hasn't it?

0:17:260:17:27

Yeah. I like this more.

0:17:270:17:29

-Shall we go and have a look around?

-Yeah.

-OK.

0:17:290:17:32

So far, so good.

0:17:330:17:35

But will the location of the master bedroom be a hit or a miss?

0:17:350:17:38

Another bedroom in the front of the house.

0:17:380:17:40

You're not too keen, are you?

0:17:400:17:42

I'm not keen on it. Because it's not there in the UK, it's something odd.

0:17:420:17:46

I quite like it because it's different.

0:17:460:17:48

You like it, I don't.

0:17:480:17:50

I'm ying, you're yang, that sort of thing.

0:17:500:17:53

Glad he's cleared that up.

0:17:530:17:54

What about the en-suite?

0:17:540:17:56

Oh, wow.

0:17:560:17:58

-That's nice.

-Like a two-person shower, two-person bath.

0:17:580:18:02

Surprised the toilet isn't a lot bigger, really!

0:18:020:18:04

-A two-person toilet!

-A two-person toilet!

0:18:040:18:06

Moving on, the open-plan living area has plenty of room for feasting.

0:18:080:18:13

-Wow.

-That is massive.

0:18:130:18:15

-It is.

-That dining room table,

0:18:150:18:18

you would have to send a flare up at the other end

0:18:180:18:21

to know that someone was there, wouldn't you?

0:18:210:18:24

-I'd feel like Henry VIII.

-It's lovely, though.

0:18:240:18:26

You look like him!

0:18:260:18:27

THEY LAUGH

0:18:270:18:29

But will the kitchen be fit for a king?

0:18:290:18:32

This is a nice kitchen area, Shard.

0:18:320:18:33

Compared to this bit, it's quite small, do you not think?

0:18:330:18:36

Yeah. I think I would have a smaller dining area.

0:18:360:18:38

However, it's not a small kitchen, is it?

0:18:380:18:41

-Oh, no.

-You've got enough room there,

0:18:410:18:43

with that little island they've put in.

0:18:430:18:45

And they soon discover there's more elbow room in the living area

0:18:450:18:49

than they first thought.

0:18:490:18:50

-Ah, Shard.

-Wow.

0:18:540:18:56

Look at this.

0:18:560:18:57

What a man space this is!

0:18:570:18:58

-I mean, you could...

-I love how you've got it in your head

0:18:590:19:02

that it's going to be man space!

0:19:020:19:03

Can you imagine watching the Masters on this?

0:19:030:19:05

-It would be great.

-It wouldn't be on.

0:19:050:19:08

I wouldn't allow it!

0:19:080:19:09

Now my dreams are crushed,

0:19:090:19:10

-we'll go and have a look at something else!

-OK.

-Thanks.

0:19:100:19:13

One dream at a time, Jimmy.

0:19:130:19:15

What a nice outside space this is.

0:19:150:19:18

The only thing I would say, there's no grass.

0:19:180:19:20

-No.

-I'd want grass for the children.

0:19:200:19:24

Jimmy's hoping an outdoor oven might win Sharday over.

0:19:240:19:27

Look at this, Shard. That's a big selling point.

0:19:270:19:30

Yeah, but you wouldn't use it!

0:19:300:19:32

It's like the kids' channels on the TV, I don't use them either, but...!

0:19:320:19:35

You make me get them!

0:19:350:19:37

Joking aside, Jimmy agrees it might not be perfect.

0:19:370:19:41

Two adults sharing a glass of red wine

0:19:410:19:43

on that little patio bit, fantastic.

0:19:430:19:46

-But we're having two kids.

-Nothing for the kids.

0:19:460:19:48

I love the rest of the house, but the garden's not ideal.

0:19:480:19:50

It's not quite their dream house,

0:19:520:19:53

but Sharday and Jimmy are still interested

0:19:530:19:56

to know how much it would cost

0:19:560:19:58

and, more importantly, whether their maximum budget of £270,000

0:19:580:20:03

would be enough to buy it.

0:20:030:20:04

I think it is 350.

0:20:040:20:07

I think it's going to be about 373.

0:20:070:20:09

Do you want to flip it over?

0:20:090:20:11

-No, I'll let you do this one.

-OK.

0:20:110:20:13

318.

0:20:190:20:20

-Well, that's a pleasant surprise, really, isn't it?

-Mm.

0:20:220:20:25

That's almost £50,000 over budget.

0:20:250:20:28

-That's still expensive.

-It's expensive...

0:20:280:20:30

-But not as much as what we thought.

-No.

0:20:300:20:33

It may not be achievable right now,

0:20:330:20:35

but the couple don't seem to be put off.

0:20:350:20:37

With the right job and salary for Jimmy,

0:20:370:20:39

it could be something to aim for in the future.

0:20:390:20:42

All in all, the day has given them valuable insight into how far

0:20:420:20:46

their money might go in Australia.

0:20:460:20:48

Property one was within budget but the lack of space,

0:20:490:20:53

especially in the bedrooms, left the couple

0:20:530:20:55

feeling short-changed.

0:20:550:20:56

Still within budget,

0:20:570:20:58

property two offered more for their money

0:20:580:21:01

but the small back garden didn't cut it with Sharday.

0:21:010:21:04

And while property three had the wow factor inside,

0:21:040:21:08

outside was a let-down for Sharday and Jimmy

0:21:080:21:12

and its price tag put it out of reach for now.

0:21:120:21:14

So with all things considered,

0:21:140:21:16

how will the couple decide between homes in the UK and Australia?

0:21:160:21:20

After a day of viewing properties, it's now time to vote.

0:21:200:21:23

-Australia.

-Undecided.

0:21:250:21:27

What? How come?

0:21:290:21:30

We've had such a good day.

0:21:310:21:33

-Are you going to cry?

-I'm thinking about it.

0:21:330:21:35

We viewed some nice properties,

0:21:350:21:38

but I think they're more like show homes,

0:21:380:21:40

as in just for adults, it's not kids friendly.

0:21:400:21:43

You want that family feel to the house.

0:21:430:21:45

Everything has got its own little place.

0:21:450:21:47

There needs to be, like, toys everywhere...

0:21:470:21:50

OK. I understand what you're saying.

0:21:500:21:52

That means I've got the rest of the week

0:21:520:21:54

to convince you and do some work.

0:21:540:21:56

Yeah, you do. You've got your work cut out.

0:21:560:21:58

I'm disappointed, but, obviously, hopefully...

0:21:580:22:01

There's more, isn't there?

0:22:010:22:02

-..you'll be convinced by the rest of the week.

-Yeah.

0:22:020:22:05

Australian property hasn't sold Jimmy's dream to Sharday,

0:22:140:22:18

so he knows he'll have to put in more effort in the week ahead if he's to

0:22:180:22:22

stand a chance of getting the life he wants.

0:22:220:22:24

Back in the UK, spark Jimmy works with electricity networks.

0:22:260:22:30

My job at the minute is a cable jointer,

0:22:310:22:34

and that deals with any electrics

0:22:340:22:37

from generation pump to your customer meter box.

0:22:370:22:41

I enjoy my job a lot.

0:22:410:22:42

Work for a good company.

0:22:420:22:43

Working 55 hours plus per week

0:22:450:22:47

allows Jimmy to double his basic salary of £28,000

0:22:470:22:51

but his relationship with Sharday isn't benefiting as much as

0:22:510:22:55

his bank balance.

0:22:550:22:56

I can hear it in her voice when she is disheartened

0:22:560:22:58

and I've rang her up at five o'clock saying,

0:22:580:23:01

"This is going to be a late one, Shard."

0:23:010:23:03

How do you save for the house as first-time buyers and a young family

0:23:030:23:07

when you don't want to put the work in?

0:23:070:23:09

Desperate to do the right thing,

0:23:090:23:11

Jimmy hopes working down under can

0:23:110:23:13

afford him both the salary and family time he needs.

0:23:130:23:16

Over in Australia, it's essential to find the right work-life balance.

0:23:180:23:22

That's the whole driving force behind the move, for me.

0:23:220:23:25

Jimmy knows the opportunity to explore career options in Australia

0:23:290:23:33

could make or break his dream of moving.

0:23:330:23:36

We are pinning our hopes on me being able to find good work that pays

0:23:360:23:39

enough to support the family out here.

0:23:390:23:42

We've arranged for him to meet up

0:23:440:23:46

with expat and field operations manager Duncan Whitfield

0:23:460:23:49

at an electricity supply company in the city of Ballarat.

0:23:490:23:53

Hi, I'm Duncan Whitfield.

0:23:550:23:57

-How are you? Jimmy.

-Jimmy, pleased to meet you.

0:23:570:23:59

Welcome to Powercor Citipower.

0:23:590:24:01

After a quick health and safety chat,

0:24:010:24:03

they head to the dispatch area where Jimmy's foremost concern is if his

0:24:030:24:07

skills will be recognised.

0:24:070:24:10

From what I've seen of your CV, you would need to requalify here.

0:24:100:24:13

It's not a great start.

0:24:130:24:15

But Duncan is quick to point out upskilling won't take long.

0:24:150:24:18

Typically, we employee a jointer,

0:24:180:24:21

he works under supervision while you do the training.

0:24:210:24:24

We do that in-house.

0:24:240:24:26

There is no cost to the employee.

0:24:260:24:27

Typically, when we do this with people, it takes six weeks to two months.

0:24:270:24:31

That is really positive.

0:24:310:24:33

Relieved, Jimmy asks about work hours,

0:24:330:24:36

hoping he'll be able to cut down on his UK working week.

0:24:360:24:40

The basic standard hours is 37.5 per week.

0:24:400:24:42

Yeah.

0:24:420:24:44

Most people do at least 46.

0:24:440:24:46

For special cases, if we are working on a big shutdown,

0:24:460:24:49

it could go up to 55 hours a week.

0:24:490:24:51

It is entirely up to the individual's choice,

0:24:510:24:53

whether they do the work or not.

0:24:530:24:55

That is a positive thing.

0:24:550:24:57

Jimmy is impressed.

0:24:590:25:00

Meanwhile, keen to find out about the Australian education system for

0:25:000:25:05

the children, Sharday is visiting a primary school in Craigieburn,

0:25:050:25:08

north of Melbourne.

0:25:080:25:09

-Hi, Sharday.

-Euan Hughes, principal.

0:25:110:25:12

How'd you do?

0:25:120:25:14

This one's chirping a lot.

0:25:140:25:16

Principle Euan Hughes invites her to join a class of six-year-olds

0:25:160:25:20

and their teacher, Sarah Lancaster, as they learn about farm animals.

0:25:200:25:24

What are some names we could come up with?

0:25:240:25:27

-This is Sharday.

-Hi, Sharday. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

0:25:270:25:30

We are off to the farm in a couple of weeks and the chicks are all about our life cycle.

0:25:300:25:35

I like how it's so hands-on.

0:25:350:25:37

-I love it. Cos we got to actually watch one hatch.

-Oh, really?

0:25:370:25:41

That is part of their learning journey.

0:25:410:25:43

Things that they'll remember forever now.

0:25:430:25:45

And the proof is in the pudding.

0:25:450:25:47

A chat with little Archie and Evie confirms how much the children

0:25:470:25:51

are enjoying the lesson.

0:25:510:25:52

-Do you like going here?

-Yes.

0:25:520:25:54

-Are the teachers nice?

-Yes.

-Really nice?

0:25:540:25:56

-Yes.

-Good. What's your favourite thing at the school?

0:25:560:26:00

My favourite thing is learning about the farm.

0:26:000:26:04

Where are we starting over here?

0:26:040:26:06

At the ones? All right.

0:26:060:26:07

Let's go. Nine and two.

0:26:070:26:09

Next, Sharday speaks with teacher Michelle Tedeschi about the school curriculum.

0:26:090:26:14

Our school, in particular, does have a high expectation.

0:26:140:26:17

We like to think that all of the strategies and things

0:26:170:26:21

that we are teaching,

0:26:210:26:22

they are coming from those lower years and then just being

0:26:220:26:25

built upon.

0:26:250:26:26

Back at the electricity supply company,

0:26:280:26:31

Jimmy asks the burning question.

0:26:310:26:33

Figure wise, on a basic salary, what would that be?

0:26:330:26:37

37.5 hour week, around £40,000, you would earn for that.

0:26:370:26:41

That's a...

0:26:410:26:42

Well, £12,000 more than what I'm on back at home.

0:26:420:26:46

Most people do the second option, which is roughly 46 hours a week.

0:26:460:26:52

That would equate to around £52,000.

0:26:520:26:56

And then for the top option, 55-hour week or thereabouts,

0:26:560:26:59

probably close to 70,000.

0:26:590:27:02

That is, literally, unbelievable.

0:27:020:27:04

It's a brilliant result for Jimmy,

0:27:040:27:06

providing he can actually find a job.

0:27:060:27:08

I think you have a good chance of finding work in Victoria.

0:27:080:27:11

I would encourage you to apply.

0:27:110:27:13

Duncan, I can't say how happy this day has made me.

0:27:130:27:15

It's not hard to guess how the card will fall when it comes to Jimmy's

0:27:150:27:18

choice between work in the UK or Australia.

0:27:180:27:22

After an interesting work day, it's now time to vote.

0:27:220:27:24

Australia!

0:27:260:27:27

After the workday check today, I feel over the moon.

0:27:290:27:33

This sort of news is only going to

0:27:330:27:34

be positive for the rest of the family.

0:27:340:27:36

Ecstatic how his day has gone, Jimmy can't wait to meet up with Sharday.

0:27:390:27:44

-Tell me about your day.

-It's been good.

0:27:440:27:46

The school is good...

0:27:460:27:47

-Yeah?

-The kids love it.

0:27:470:27:49

They love the teachers, they love the food, they love the playground,

0:27:490:27:53

they love life.

0:27:530:27:55

-How was your workday?

-Fantastic.

0:27:550:27:56

It only takes six weeks to...

0:27:560:27:59

-To train?

-..to get my gaps filled in and here is the best part...

0:27:590:28:02

What's the wage?

0:28:020:28:03

The wage is a £12,000 increase on a basic week.

0:28:030:28:08

I voted Australia again today.

0:28:080:28:09

-Yeah.

-Career day for me has been so good.

0:28:090:28:13

But we are only halfway through.

0:28:130:28:14

So we've still got loads more to find out.

0:28:140:28:17

I agree. I agree, but...

0:28:170:28:19

..you would do well to knock me off

0:28:200:28:22

where I'm at at the minute. I just need you to...

0:28:220:28:24

-come to that level.

-To climb up.

-Yeah.

0:28:240:28:26

Jimmy's feeling fully charged after learning he can earn more

0:28:350:28:39

and work less in Australia.

0:28:390:28:41

Giving him back the family time he's been missing out on.

0:28:410:28:45

But for it all to work out,

0:28:450:28:47

he still needs to get Sharday as excited about the country as he is.

0:28:470:28:53

Hopefully, a taste of the Australian lifestyle he's been enthusing about

0:28:530:28:57

will be enough to fuse their thinking.

0:28:570:28:59

Making the most of their time together and the Aussie sunshine,

0:29:020:29:06

the family head out to Brimbank Park in North Melbourne.

0:29:060:29:10

Why are you getting on it?

0:29:100:29:11

After a leisurely stroll,

0:29:110:29:13

dad Jimmy can't resist trying out the seesaw with baby Maia.

0:29:130:29:16

-Look at her little legs.

-I can see her face.

0:29:160:29:19

Hee-hee-hee!

0:29:200:29:22

-She's a bit worried.

-She doesn't know what to do.

0:29:230:29:25

She's, like, "Shall I cry? Shall I smile?"

0:29:250:29:28

-Or both.

-Or both.

-THEY LAUGH

0:29:280:29:30

It's been a week of ups and downs

0:29:300:29:32

with Sharday yet to cast her first vote

0:29:320:29:34

for Australia.

0:29:340:29:36

So are you starting to come round?

0:29:360:29:38

A little bit, but not too much.

0:29:390:29:41

You don't have to kill my hopes, you know. You can say, "Yeah."

0:29:410:29:44

OK. Yeah, definitely moving, yeah.

0:29:440:29:47

-That was sarcasm.

-Oh, right, yeah.

0:29:480:29:50

But Jimmy has high hopes more quality family time will be enough to sway

0:29:530:29:57

Sharday and, over lunch, reminds her what the move is all about.

0:29:570:30:01

It's the ability to be able to do this in the weather...

0:30:030:30:05

-Oh, yeah.

-And the climate, isn't it?

0:30:050:30:07

-I don't think we've ever had a picnic, ever.

-We haven't.

0:30:070:30:10

Maia? Ah!

0:30:150:30:17

And it wouldn't be a family day out without ice cream.

0:30:170:30:21

Have I got any on my face?

0:30:210:30:23

It's soon clear how much they're all enjoying a taste of Aussie living.

0:30:230:30:27

You've got that...

0:30:270:30:28

My nose smells great.

0:30:300:30:31

Of mint and cheesecake.

0:30:310:30:33

The chance to chill out together also reinforces how little time

0:30:330:30:37

they get to spend as a family back home...

0:30:370:30:40

Three more of them and you'll get there.

0:30:400:30:42

..and allows Sharday to contemplate the reality of emigrating.

0:30:420:30:46

If we are coming to Australia, then it is starting off from square one,

0:30:460:30:52

having to uproot everyone over here would be a big deal.

0:30:520:30:57

With Jimmy's work hours back home putting strain on their relationship,

0:30:570:31:00

the couple agree they need change.

0:31:000:31:03

It upsets me that the bond between me and Jimmy is breaking down.

0:31:030:31:08

We are trying to find what we can do to bring that spark back again.

0:31:080:31:11

For me, if we can make the move, the stress will be lifted.

0:31:110:31:14

The fact she's voting undecided

0:31:140:31:16

means to me that she is trying to consider

0:31:160:31:17

the things that are being presented to her.

0:31:170:31:20

But Sharday will need to see more before she can commit.

0:31:200:31:24

I need to see that the kids are going to be happy,

0:31:240:31:27

that's my main concern.

0:31:270:31:29

I just need to see that over here is going to be ten times better

0:31:290:31:33

than what we can get in the UK.

0:31:330:31:35

The couple will soon have to decide where their family's future really

0:31:350:31:38

does lie but, for now,

0:31:380:31:40

will the day have done enough to see both Jimmy and Sharday choosing

0:31:400:31:44

lifestyle in Australia over the UK?

0:31:440:31:47

After lifestyle day, it's now time to vote.

0:31:470:31:49

-Australia.

-Undecided.

0:31:530:31:55

There is no surprise with that whatsoever for me.

0:31:550:31:58

What are you after? What is going to say, "Right...?"

0:31:580:32:00

I don't know. I don't know.

0:32:000:32:02

But when you see it, you'll know?

0:32:020:32:04

But, yeah, when I get that feeling of, "this is great,"

0:32:040:32:08

then I'll pick here. I can't put a finger on why.

0:32:080:32:11

I just keep on thinking there's nothing that's going to be good enough

0:32:110:32:14

to show you to say, "Yeah, this is going to be for us."

0:32:140:32:17

A second undecided vote from Sharday has not gone down well with Jimmy.

0:32:240:32:28

With only days left to convince her to buy into his dream,

0:32:290:32:32

he is now hoping a look at their potential finances in Australia will

0:32:320:32:37

be enough to increase her enthusiasm for a move.

0:32:370:32:39

Right, here we go, Shard...

0:32:410:32:43

..the truth.

0:32:440:32:45

While baby Maia is sleeping, the couple sit down to crunch figures.

0:32:460:32:50

To help, we've provided a breakdown of living expenses,

0:32:500:32:53

starting with their weekly food shop.

0:32:530:32:55

Peppers are £2.13 more expensive.

0:32:560:33:00

-Just be getting one pepper then.

-Yeah, they're going to have to come out of the shopping, aren't they?

0:33:000:33:04

Ready meals, £2.40 more expensive.

0:33:040:33:07

Mind you, I think with me being home earlier...

0:33:070:33:10

-Yeah.

-..we wouldn't have to do so many ready meals anyway, would we?

0:33:100:33:13

A tot up of the sums reveals they'd spend just £6 more on food every week.

0:33:130:33:19

-I thought it would be more. Way more.

-I'm happy you're being so positive.

0:33:190:33:22

It's a step in the right direction.

0:33:220:33:24

Next, the couple look at mortgage costs,

0:33:240:33:26

basing repayment figures on the second house they viewed.

0:33:260:33:30

£583 worse off, plus your shopping, to start off.

0:33:300:33:34

Adding up.

0:33:340:33:35

Jimmy is hoping the other monthly bills might help him rebalance the books.

0:33:360:33:40

Fuel costs, this is more my work than anything, is 400 in the UK.

0:33:410:33:46

And, then, that's minus £74 in Australia.

0:33:460:33:50

I can buy a gas guzzling monster.

0:33:500:33:52

-A truck.

-Yeah, like a truck.

0:33:520:33:54

Despite the higher mortgage,

0:33:550:33:57

the sums reveal they'd only be paying around £170 more every month

0:33:570:34:02

and when they take into account Jimmy's potential to earn over £600 more,

0:34:020:34:07

things don't look bad at all.

0:34:070:34:09

-That's a lot of money.

-Are you smiling?

0:34:100:34:13

My face is going to crack.

0:34:130:34:15

Good to see you smile.

0:34:150:34:17

That's, like, based on a 60-hour week back in the UK.

0:34:170:34:20

This is a 46-hour week that he told me.

0:34:200:34:22

-So less.

-I'd be earning this money on.

0:34:220:34:24

-Yeah.

-That is incredible.

0:34:240:34:26

-Yeah.

-I'd be spending more time at home with the kids.

0:34:260:34:29

And considering I'd be working less, and earning more, I think...

0:34:290:34:34

..I'm on the next plane.

0:34:350:34:37

When they subtract their outgoings,

0:34:370:34:39

the figures show they'd be around

0:34:390:34:41

£200 better off in Australia every month.

0:34:410:34:44

But, surprisingly, Jimmy doesn't look impressed.

0:34:440:34:48

-Are you not happy?

-No, not really, no.

-Why not?

0:34:480:34:52

I just thought it would be more.

0:34:520:34:53

I thought with the wage increase going up massively,

0:34:530:34:55

the petrol bill coming down...

0:34:550:34:57

I thought I would have seen a bit more of my money, that's all.

0:34:580:35:01

-I think it's good.

-It's been an interesting exercise,

0:35:020:35:06

so when it comes to choosing between finances in Australia and the UK,

0:35:060:35:10

what will the couple decide?

0:35:100:35:12

After an up and down reality check day, it's now time to vote.

0:35:120:35:16

-Undecided.

-Australia.

0:35:200:35:21

I pick Australia and then you pick undecided.

0:35:230:35:27

Based on £209 a month, I can't see us doing the move.

0:35:270:35:33

Wouldn't you rather be here in Australia, earning more,

0:35:330:35:36

than over in the UK?

0:35:360:35:37

I'd still be better off but it's £209 a month better off. You know?

0:35:370:35:42

-Is that not enough?

-It's not enough for me.

0:35:420:35:44

But I'm happy you voted Aussie!

0:35:440:35:46

I voted Australia and you've done...

0:35:460:35:49

-It's your first one of the week!

-I know. And you're not sure!

0:35:490:35:52

The finances have fallen short of Jimmy's expectations,

0:35:560:35:59

leaving him questioning his own dream.

0:35:590:36:02

And in a turning of the tables,

0:36:020:36:04

Sharday's now lodged her first vote for Australia.

0:36:040:36:07

But as they sit down to watch messages from loved ones,

0:36:070:36:11

will her new-found optimism be short-lived?

0:36:110:36:14

Here we go.

0:36:160:36:17

TOGETHER: Hi.

0:36:190:36:21

Hi, it's Dina, Nanny.

0:36:210:36:23

I hope you're having a good time out there and enjoying yourself.

0:36:230:36:26

James is the live wire.

0:36:260:36:29

He can be a little bit unpredictable, so I hope

0:36:290:36:31

Australia's ready for him.

0:36:310:36:34

Shard, she is very soft-hearted,

0:36:340:36:37

she'll please others more than please herself at times.

0:36:370:36:41

Yeah, I'm proud of her. Very proud of her.

0:36:410:36:43

He's always been kind of keen to go to Australia and, obviously,

0:36:450:36:48

with his family now, I think it would really help him to go

0:36:480:36:51

and settle down and, hopefully,

0:36:510:36:53

make a good life for him and the family.

0:36:530:36:56

If they moved to Australia,

0:36:580:37:00

I'm going to miss my daughter and the grandchildren and Jimmy very,

0:37:000:37:03

very much.

0:37:030:37:04

Probably more than they will know.

0:37:050:37:07

If they really do move to Australia, I'm going to miss them.

0:37:080:37:11

There will be a huge hole.

0:37:110:37:13

We are such a close family

0:37:130:37:15

that it will seem very, very strange.

0:37:150:37:17

I'd miss him quite a bit, actually.

0:37:170:37:19

I mean, I've had 24 years of him next to me,

0:37:190:37:22

so for him to be on the other side of the world all of a sudden will be a big shock.

0:37:220:37:25

I'd love them to stay here, in my heart of hearts.

0:37:250:37:27

I don't want them to go.

0:37:270:37:29

It would leave a big hole in my life if they moved halfway around the world.

0:37:300:37:35

But then, again,

0:37:350:37:36

you know...

0:37:360:37:37

..life is life at the end of the day.

0:37:390:37:41

Wherever she is, I'll still be her mum and I'll always be there for her

0:37:410:37:44

and the children and Jimmy.

0:37:440:37:46

I'm really hoping that you choose the UK but I totally understand if

0:37:470:37:52

Australia gives you more options and a better life.

0:37:520:37:56

Decision time, now, I suppose,

0:37:560:37:58

but all I'd say is, if it's going to

0:37:580:38:00

better you staying out there, then don't come back.

0:38:000:38:04

We are really supportive of whichever option you want to choose

0:38:040:38:07

and we'll be seeing you either way, whether it's in Australia or back here.

0:38:070:38:10

So just make the right choice for you.

0:38:100:38:13

I'll miss the whole lot of you, really,

0:38:150:38:18

but it's not my life, it's your life.

0:38:180:38:20

And you've got to do what you feel is best for the family, James.

0:38:200:38:25

So just make the right decision.

0:38:250:38:26

We are going to miss you so much.

0:38:280:38:30

But I wish you all the best.

0:38:310:38:34

I'm just going to miss you. But good luck on your voyage.

0:38:340:38:36

Love you to bits.

0:38:380:38:39

Pff.

0:38:400:38:42

SHE CRIES

0:38:430:38:47

It's all right.

0:38:470:38:48

Dad only said one thing and that got me.

0:38:530:38:56

I knew it would.

0:38:560:38:57

I don't think my mum would fly over here as much as your family would.

0:38:570:39:02

Then I see her upset and she never said anything.

0:39:020:39:06

She's not said a lot about that before, has she?

0:39:100:39:12

She's right though, you do always look after others before yourself.

0:39:150:39:19

But you got to stop looking after everyone else, you got to start looking after us.

0:39:230:39:27

Sharday's been undecided about her future in Australia for the biggest

0:39:330:39:37

part of the week.

0:39:370:39:38

And messages from home haven't helped as she now fears her family

0:39:380:39:43

may never make the trip to visit if her and Jimmy do decide to move.

0:39:430:39:48

As their trial week draws to a close,

0:39:480:39:50

are the odds on Jimmy's dream coming true less than favourable?

0:39:500:39:54

Before her trial week in Australia,

0:40:000:40:02

Sharday had never travelled outside of the UK and seven days living on

0:40:020:40:07

the other side of the world has left her fearful for the future.

0:40:070:40:10

I feel majorly under pressure,

0:40:120:40:14

as Jimmy's got his work and that sorted out but with me it's more

0:40:140:40:19

about the kids and whether or not my family are going to come and visit.

0:40:190:40:24

It's mixed emotions really.

0:40:240:40:26

A lot to think about.

0:40:260:40:28

Despite being the driving force behind the dream of emigrating,

0:40:280:40:32

it hasn't all been plain sailing for Jimmy either.

0:40:320:40:35

My emotions through the week, I sort of rose up on property day,

0:40:350:40:38

it peaked at job day when I found out the wage,

0:40:380:40:41

and, then, I sort of sunk a little bit on the reality check day.

0:40:410:40:46

But I think, overall, I think I know that if we are better off,

0:40:460:40:51

it can only be a positive thing.

0:40:510:40:52

Adding to both their concerns is the custodial issues they could face

0:40:520:40:56

with Sharday's older daughter, which they know would make a move difficult.

0:40:560:41:00

If Shard wants to come to Australia,

0:41:000:41:02

then we've got massive problems with how we are going to approach

0:41:020:41:06

that subject, so it isn't a done deal if Shard votes Australia.

Sharday needs to be certain it would be right for the whole family.

0:41:100:41:13

I want to know 1,000% that it's going to be the right choice for all of us.

0:41:160:41:21

So, as their last vote approaches,

0:41:210:41:24

the pressure's on to make a decision that will benefit everyone.

0:41:240:41:27

It's not a vote for my dream,

0:41:270:41:29

it's a vote for this is what I think our family needs.

0:41:290:41:34

Sharday knows her final choice could destroy her relationship too.

0:41:340:41:39

I don't want to split us up as a family unit but if I feel that's

0:41:390:41:45

the right thing to do, then I'll have to do it.

0:41:450:41:47

With the stakes so high,

0:41:480:41:50

the couple now have to choose which path they'll take.

0:41:500:41:53

Will it be Australia or the UK?

0:41:530:41:56

After a fantastic week in Australia, well, for me anyway,

0:41:570:42:01

it's now time to do the final vote.

0:42:010:42:02

-Australia.

-Undecided.

0:42:120:42:15

I knew you'd do it.

0:42:150:42:16

I didn't think you was going to pick Australia.

0:42:160:42:19

Because back when we were doing the pricing, and that,

0:42:190:42:22

I thought you were going to be undecided.

0:42:220:42:25

I think what made me decide was after watching the friends and family video...

0:42:250:42:29

That they'll be happy knowing that what...

0:42:290:42:31

That they would back me to do what I thought was right.

0:42:310:42:34

For me, I need to think about it a bit more.

0:42:340:42:38

I know we've got stuff to sort out.

0:42:380:42:39

But I think voting undecided isn't a no,

0:42:410:42:43

so that means your mind isn't made up.

0:42:430:42:45

I just need more time to think, that's all it is.

0:42:450:42:49

I need a little bit more time than you to think everything through.

0:42:490:42:52

I respect that.

0:42:520:42:53

Despite giving it his best shot,

0:42:590:43:01

Jimmy's efforts to sell Australia to Sharday haven't paid off

0:43:010:43:06

as she can't bring herself to commit to the idea of moving.

0:43:060:43:09

There could be lots more discussions ahead but wherever the family go on

0:43:090:43:14

to call home, we wish them all the very best.
