0:00:02 > 0:00:05What if your dream to uproot your family to move

0:00:05 > 0:00:09to the other side of the world for a new life came crashing down?

0:00:09 > 0:00:14Daryl Brenton knows exactly what he wants from a new life down under.

0:00:14 > 0:00:19Nice big detached house, at least four bedrooms, somewhere where I could escape, swimming pool.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Nice.- That would be on my wish-list.

0:00:21 > 0:00:24But wife Jenny doesn't quite share his dream.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28If it wasn't for Daryl wanting to go it's not something that I'd be considering now.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32She's determined to give Daryl's dream a reality check.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Swimming pool looks really nice.

0:00:34 > 0:00:39It doesn't look very nice to me. There's fish in there. My kids won't be going in there.

0:00:39 > 0:00:44Making dreams come true costs hard earned money.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47The property is in the region of £170,000.

0:00:49 > 0:00:54I'm not happy with that. Absolutely no way. I'm not prepared to give my home away.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57And it's not just about bricks and mortar.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01When Jenifer first mentioned Australia, I said, "Why don't you just rip my heart out?"

0:01:01 > 0:01:06Jenny may be torn but Daryl won't let anything stand in his way.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10If I vote for Australia and Jenny votes for England...we split up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Will this be a fairy tale with an unhappy ending?

0:01:37 > 0:01:42Australia is still the most popular country of residence for Brits moving abroad.

0:01:42 > 0:01:49But although they may be tempted by the sun, sea and sand almost one-third return home every year.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52The Brentons are going to be pushed to the limit

0:01:52 > 0:01:56as they try out life in Australia for one week.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01At the end of it they will have to make one of the hardest decisions of their lives.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Whether to stay in the UK, or to move down under.

0:02:06 > 0:02:11The Brentons currently living the town of Castleford in West Yorkshire.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14PE teacher Daryl shares a home with Jenny and their two children,

0:02:14 > 0:02:19three-year-old Bruce and daughter Jeannie, who is one.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23Daryl has a vision of a perfect life down under.

0:02:23 > 0:02:30A dream scenario for myself would be a nice house near the sea, good job, more quality time with the kids.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34I think it was my idea but Jenny has supported me all the way.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Got to do, haven't we, if it's what you want to do.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41I'm very scared. I don't like flying.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46I don't like creepy-crawlies and I think about it constantly.

0:02:46 > 0:02:52Not just for me, it's people that we are going to leave behind.

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Daryl would be leaving his 16-year-old son from a previous relationship.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Obviously, my oldest son Stuart, it's going to be really difficult,

0:03:01 > 0:03:05it were a really difficult just telling him we were thinking about going.

0:03:05 > 0:03:10But it's Jenny's ties with loved ones that could prevent the move.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13I rely a lot of my friends and family, a lot.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17As much as I love Daryl I do confide in my friends a lot.

0:03:17 > 0:03:23I think I'm going to miss not having somebody other than Daryl there to talk to about things,

0:03:23 > 0:03:29especially if we are finding it difficult, we're having a difficult time,

0:03:29 > 0:03:33that I've got nobody to have a moan about him to really!

0:03:33 > 0:03:37As Daryl's approaching the age limit for obtaining a visa, they are running out of time.

0:03:37 > 0:03:43We've got to give this a go. It's now or never. If I don't go now I'm going to be too old.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48The last thing I'm going to do is stand in his way

0:03:48 > 0:03:52but we've got a good life here, you know, we are giving up a lot.

0:03:52 > 0:03:58It's not as if we are thinking of just buying a house in France, or moving to Europe,

0:03:58 > 0:04:00it's the other side of the world.

0:04:00 > 0:04:07Their week down under will either bring Jenny onside, or shatter Daryl's dream.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11So where in Australia should they go?

0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's Daryl's occupation as a PE teacher that would get them into

0:04:14 > 0:04:20Australia and fortunately his skills are in demand across the country.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23The Brentons could go to Darwin, Australia's most northern capital

0:04:23 > 0:04:26with a population of just 125,000 people.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31Having come from a small town in the UK the family might find that coming here

0:04:31 > 0:04:34offers them a more relaxed, urban lifestyle.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38The problem is thousands of Australians are migrating here for

0:04:38 > 0:04:41just that, so the house prices have soared in recent years.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Almost twice what they were five years ago.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50And with a smaller economy, isolated from the rest of the country

0:04:50 > 0:04:54the job market is weaker and the cost of living higher.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Perhaps in contrast, a bustling southern metropolis like Melbourne

0:05:00 > 0:05:03could offer them the better opportunities and higher pay.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07As Australia's second largest city, and number one in the country for sports,

0:05:07 > 0:05:12Daryl couldn't find anywhere more suitable to get started as a PE teacher.

0:05:12 > 0:05:18But although family incomes are higher than the national average, house prices are booming.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23This place, costing £320,000 is way over Daryl and Jenny's budget.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Maybe further west,

0:05:26 > 0:05:31a smaller city such as Adelaide could offer a cheaper alternative for the Brentons.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Incomes are lower than the national average but house prices are also lower.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42As Adelaide is a popular destination for Brits emigrating,

0:05:42 > 0:05:47Daryl and Jenny should feel less homesick here whilst they find their feet.

0:05:47 > 0:05:53Three good options there for Daryl and Jenny, each of them at life changing.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56So where shall we send them?

0:05:56 > 0:06:01We decided that Melbourne would be best for the Brentons trial week Down Under.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07Whilst property prices are high, there are more affordable suburbs out of town

0:06:07 > 0:06:13and as Australia's sports capital, Daryl should find it easier to get a job in a school that offers

0:06:13 > 0:06:16both decent salary and good facilities to teach PE.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20Hold it at the white line, and back.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22But will his skills match up to Aussie standards?

0:06:22 > 0:06:24I think his methods are pretty basic.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28And what if they are too ambitious when searching for the dream home?

0:06:28 > 0:06:33I would have to go back to work for us to afford it and also just to live.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Daryl wants to move so much even his son won't stand in his way.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41I wish they'd stay in England, I'd get to see them more but...

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Nowt I can really do.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46But ultimately, he needs his wife Jenny onside.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Lots of things make me want to stay the UK.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's familiar, I know what I'm doing there, I've got my friends,

0:06:52 > 0:06:56my family based there, it's one of the most biggest life-changing decisions

0:06:56 > 0:06:59I've ever had to come to terms with.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Not quite sure which way we're going to go.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06There'll be discussions, talk about it, then I get my own way.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Simple as that.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16Daryl may be confident, but is he understanding just how far this is for Jenny?

0:07:16 > 0:07:18They fly from Manchester via Dubai,

0:07:18 > 0:07:23spanning a distance of nearly 11,000 miles.

0:07:25 > 0:07:31The Brentons touch down in Melbourne having had a long time to think about the daunting week ahead.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36Been getting more excited, more apprehensive, more excited, things whizzing round my head.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40I knew it was going to be a long journey but boy,

0:07:40 > 0:07:42it really hit home.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45It is the other side of the world.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50And especially when my dad took us to Manchester Airport the other day, it made us all sort of think

0:07:50 > 0:07:56it won't be, "Goodbye I'll see you next Saturday," it'll be, "Goodbye for quite a long time."

0:07:56 > 0:07:58That's quite hard, that.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Jenny's dad were choking up, and this is just like a reconnaissance having a look round,

0:08:03 > 0:08:08it did bring it home to both of us to see him really choking up.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Family back in the UK is already weighing heavily on their minds,

0:08:13 > 0:08:16but as they journey to the house they're staying in,

0:08:16 > 0:08:21Daryl soon starts fantasising about their dream home.

0:08:21 > 0:08:28In an ideal world, the house would be nice big detached house, at least four bedrooms.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31That would be ideal.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Swimming pool, that would be on my wish-list.- Yeah.

0:08:37 > 0:08:44Somewhere where I could escape, a room for the kids, where they could play, a pool room maybe.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think that would be the one for me.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Pink roofs, do you like it? - Look at this lovely house.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59This cosy three bed bijou bungalow situated in a prime a beachside location

0:08:59 > 0:09:05and priced at £375,000 it's way over the Brentons' family budget.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Shall we have a look in here?

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Hopefully they'll like it.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's not as big as I thought though. What do you think?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's all right, it's a reasonable size.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20We've not seen the other bedroom yet, have we?

0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Still not as big as I expected. - No. It's not.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33I'm just not sure it's as big as I expected. Definitely not as big as I would have expected.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Oh dear, I don't think it's as big as Daryl expected(!)

0:09:37 > 0:09:40If we could afford this place I would not buy it. Simple as that.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42No.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Not up to standard.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Not up to standard at all.

0:09:53 > 0:09:58But hopefully there will be some nicer properties

0:09:58 > 0:09:59which we can afford.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Back in the UK, Daryl and Jenny own a four bedroom semi-detached house

0:10:07 > 0:10:10in the town of Castleford in West Yorkshire.

0:10:10 > 0:10:16If they sell up for a good price they could have a potential budget of £250,000.

0:10:18 > 0:10:24The Brentons have their heart set on a spacious home with a pool in Australia.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27But will they have enough money to pay for it?

0:10:27 > 0:10:33Property in Melbourne is pricey, so it's vital they look around.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35If they were to live in the city

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Daryl wouldn't have to commute to work.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Central town houses are desirable but prices can hit

0:10:40 > 0:10:45the million-dollar mark and there is no room for a pool.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Even if Daryl and Jenny took out a massive mortgage

0:10:48 > 0:10:51they'd struggle to afford a place like this

0:10:51 > 0:10:55so they may prefer to find somewhere slightly cheaper out of town.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Coastal living is by far the most popular in Australia

0:10:58 > 0:11:01as young families crave that perfect life by the sea.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04But house prices have boomed in recent years.

0:11:04 > 0:11:1110 minutes' drive from the beach properties like this market for around £375,000,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13so way over the Brentons' budget.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18But that's what they'll have to pay if they want spacious home with the dream pool.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Melbourne's rural suburbs are a more affordable option

0:11:22 > 0:11:24for a growing family like the Brentons.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27So we decided to show them three properties around this area.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33Hopefully they'll be able to find their perfect place within their £250,000 budget.

0:11:33 > 0:11:39It would mean a longer commute to work for Daryl, but it could be a sacrifice worth making.

0:11:39 > 0:11:45As Jenny is so unconvinced about a move, finding the right home that means everything to her.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49The perfect situation for me, if we decide to go to Australia,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52is to just have a nice house in the suburbs.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56If we had a pool, that would be the icing on the cake.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01Hopefully we get a lot more for our money out there.

0:12:01 > 0:12:08Property one has four bedrooms and is bang on budget at £250,000.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13It boasts the Aussie pool Jenny dreams of. Daryl prays it will win her over.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Let's look at this house.- Look.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20It looks like an active family lives here, love, doesn't it?

0:12:20 > 0:12:24This is his first chance to show Jenny what Australia's all about.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's...it's obviously been used.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34- It's not...to my...- It's nice. - It's nice enough but it would need

0:12:34 > 0:12:38this maybe sanding down and re-varnishing.

0:12:38 > 0:12:46But this is what I like. I like the sink, like I've got at home, looking into the garden, which I do like.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Let's have a look-in this bathroom.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52That's a titchy little bath.

0:12:52 > 0:12:57Mind you, with the weather and everything we'd be more inclined to get showers, won't we?

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I wonder if there's another bathroom.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Never really sure, are you, what you're getting.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- This looks like the family bathroom. - Yeah.

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Fear not, there is somewhere else the Brentons can wash.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Good lad.- Walk down the steps.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17They finally discover the main feature of the house.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19What's that? Do you know what that is?

0:13:19 > 0:13:24- A river. - A river?- A fish pond maybe.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27It's a swimming pool. It looks really nice.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31It doesn't look very nice to me in all honesty, it looks filthy,

0:13:31 > 0:13:33absolutely filthy.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37That looks like a pond, I think there's fish in there if I'm honest.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41- My kids wouldn't be going in there. - The dead bird don't help.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45I suppose it doesn't. I wonder how deep it is.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Get in it and have a see. - I might have a paddle in it.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Jump in. I think it might need a clean before I get in!

0:13:52 > 0:13:57Darryl's trying to see the funny side, but he knows his hopes of convincing Jenny are sinking fast.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Bruce, come and look at this, a tree house.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04So what are the Brentons' final thought on this deluxe pad and pool?

0:14:04 > 0:14:09The kids seem to like it. It's more to do with the kids, isn't it?

0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's definitely a nice size, the area looks nice and quiet.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15It's got everything we asked for really.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- It has.- It just needs that work.

0:14:17 > 0:14:22It's hardly meeting up to their idea of a dream home and their budget could be limiting.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27Daryl really hopes Jenny will fall in love with the next property.

0:14:29 > 0:14:34It's essential the Brentons get value for money and new developments in Australia offer just that.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41This four-bedroom display home is on the market for around £250,000,

0:14:41 > 0:14:43so again, on budget.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45But will it win Jenny over?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I love it!

0:14:48 > 0:14:50Oh!

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Daryl?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54My gosh!

0:14:54 > 0:14:58- I can't believe it.- This is lovely.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Everything you want.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Straight out. - There's two sitting areas as well.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06So much room.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Al fresco dining.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13That's what we're coming here for, sitting outside, barbies.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm speechless. I can't...

0:15:15 > 0:15:17I feel like I could cry.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23I could just stop here now, never mind going home!

0:15:23 > 0:15:24The house is amazing.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29But I suppose it's like anything else, I'm not saying the novelty would wear off,

0:15:29 > 0:15:33but everything is shiny brand new at the minute and when we were living here,

0:15:33 > 0:15:37there's the dirty washing to get done and the house to be cleaned, you know,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40it will not always feel like that.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42It's a massive step.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47It's got to be the right step for us, moving to Australia, we are giving so much up.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Jenny is proving a hard nut to crack but he's got

0:15:50 > 0:15:55one last chance to show her a home that could sweep her off her feet.

0:15:55 > 0:16:00Property three is over budget at £350,000 but it's an example of

0:16:00 > 0:16:04what they could achieve if Daryl and Jenny were to work full-time.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05It has more land

0:16:05 > 0:16:09than they could ever hope for and plenty of space for a pool,

0:16:09 > 0:16:12if this doesn't knock her off her feet then nothing will.

0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Big garage. Look at the size of that.- It looks nice and new.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Let's look to see what's in here then.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25Wow, this is my favourite part, the walk-in wardrobe bits.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29- I like the long corridor with all the art work.- It's nice.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Open-plan area.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34This is nice, this is really stylish.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Wow. I can't believe we could be living in a house like this.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41That's if we can afford it.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43This place must be...

0:16:46 > 0:16:48At the top of our budget, if not above it.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51This is a lovely house.

0:16:51 > 0:16:57Daryl and Jenny would love to live in a home like this but they'd have to make sacrifices for it to work.

0:16:57 > 0:17:03For Daryl and I to really consider buying a house of this standard,

0:17:03 > 0:17:06I would have to go back to work.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10For us to afford it and also just to live.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14We're coming out here to have more time as a family

0:17:14 > 0:17:19and if Jenny's at work, I'm at work, it kind of defeats the object.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22We'd have to talk about it.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Really think about it, because this is a really lovely house, in a lovely area.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Daryl seems more keen for Jenny to work than she does.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32But her mind is already made up.

0:17:32 > 0:17:37I don't think it would be the right time to come out and get a job straight away.

0:17:37 > 0:17:43So on that basis I think, and affordability, we'd certainly go with property number two,

0:17:43 > 0:17:48but things may change depending on what happens with Daryl and earning.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51What he's going to be earning.

0:17:51 > 0:17:56And also the cost of living, we need to have a look at that and see if it is affordable.

0:17:56 > 0:18:01After their day house hunting, Jenny is seriously worried about money.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03But will it affect her property vote?

0:18:03 > 0:18:09We've seen three very different properties today, lots to think about but we're going to vote for...

0:18:09 > 0:18:11BOTH: ..Australia!

0:18:11 > 0:18:15The Brentons have had their first glimpse of life down under and although Jenny may have

0:18:15 > 0:18:21voted Australia for homes, can she really leave everything she knows and loves behind?

0:18:21 > 0:18:25I'm worried about Jenny being alone,

0:18:25 > 0:18:30I'm hoping she will make friends quickly but it will be at the back of my mind

0:18:30 > 0:18:36that I'm not being too selfish, I'm not bringing her to Australia just because I want to go.

0:18:36 > 0:18:43My major concern is getting homesick and maybe feeling a little bit isolated

0:18:43 > 0:18:48and just a bit worried about if the children are poorly, and Daryl's at work,

0:18:48 > 0:18:51just having the support that I'd get from my friends.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56It was a long trip here, it sort of did make us realise

0:18:56 > 0:18:59how far away from home that we actually are.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06Daryl Brenton's desperate to move his family down under,

0:19:06 > 0:19:11but his wife Jenny's ties with home could make this move impossible to handle.

0:19:11 > 0:19:19I will miss her loads and loads and probably you would not be able to express it in any sort of way.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21It'll just be a huge void.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25I do need my friends around me, not having anybody out here,

0:19:25 > 0:19:29having a friendship with somebody, does feel a little bit scary.

0:19:29 > 0:19:34Her resolve is tested when they meet a British family whose Australian dream is coming to an end.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38We've decided after two and a bit years to head back.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41What do you think made you feel like that?

0:19:41 > 0:19:46I think it was the thought of being away from everybody forever.

0:19:51 > 0:19:58It's Daryl's profession as a sports teacher that will give the Brentons their entry visa to Australia.

0:19:58 > 0:20:04His work means everything to him, and unless he can find a fulfilling career down under

0:20:04 > 0:20:06his dream will be shattered.

0:20:06 > 0:20:12Back in the UK, Daryl earns around £40,000 a year and he's worked to get to the top.

0:20:12 > 0:20:17Quite high up in the ladder as it is, I'm head of a department,

0:20:17 > 0:20:21so being told what to do by someone else I think may be a difficult,

0:20:21 > 0:20:24a difficult thing for me to be able to take.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Feeling slightly nervous and slightly apprehensive, to be fair.

0:20:28 > 0:20:34He's arrived at a secondary school in Melbourne to meet his Australian equivalent.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Hi, Daryl. Welcome to Mackinnon. I'm the head of department.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Do you want to come in and we'll show you around? - Thank you very much.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42It's artificial grass.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44We've got three tennis courts.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46So you've got a soccer pitch on the top...

0:20:46 > 0:20:49All very well but Daryl's got one thing on his mind.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53If I'm getting the job easy, a job as a head of faculty or department,

0:20:53 > 0:20:56do they come up or do you work your way up?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Work your way up, I'd say.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01You tend to yes, work your way up a bit.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04That's exactly what Daryl didn't want to hear.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07How about we do some teaching? We've got a year nine badminton class.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Want to a take part in that? - I'd love to, yes. Thank you.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15Daryl's putting on a brave face for the sake of his new Australian pupils.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Try to listen, it does help. You understand, yes?- Yes.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23It would be nice if you talked to me, not him though. OK. Thank you.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Boss Steve is keeping a watchful eye.

0:21:25 > 0:21:33Daryl's invested years to get where he is, but can he really make a go of it down under?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Meanwhile, Jenny has taken the children to the park.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40I've been thinking about my family and my friends a lot this week.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's hard because I absolutely love it here.

0:21:43 > 0:21:50And I just wish we can have this life here with them alongside us.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55She's meeting up with fellow mum, Dana, to find out more about making friends down under.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59One of my main concerns is if Daryl's working, he's going to be

0:21:59 > 0:22:04there like Monday to Friday and I'm not going to be working, so I'm just thinking about filling my days.

0:22:04 > 0:22:09I'm leaving my friends behind, so it would be nice to meet some other people.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Yes. There's a mother's group that gets organised through the government

0:22:12 > 0:22:16and you all meet at, there's usually a local community centre or something

0:22:16 > 0:22:19and that's a good way I guess, to meet other mums and kids.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yes. I do that at home.

0:22:21 > 0:22:26Jenny seems to be settling in at last, but her mind soon turns to Daryl.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31The worst-case scenario with Daryl would probably be being on a basic teacher's wage.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35I know he wants to be the head of a department.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39Try not to use your slang words, I don't understand any of those.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42English lesson over, Daryl gets on with his warm-up.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44One arm, big circles forward.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Oh, come on! Australians, please.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Boss Steve is keeping very quiet.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Anybody shout out what muscle we're stretching?

0:22:54 > 0:22:58Hamstring. Very surprised you didn't know the muscles we were stretching.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02I would've expected them to know, especially in year 10, as it is.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07Daryl is having a frustrating day. Maybe it's time for some good old-fashioned British discipline.

0:23:07 > 0:23:11If I can run in and catch it, you're going to do two press ups.

0:23:11 > 0:23:12Press-ups?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Is that a OK, is that fair?

0:23:14 > 0:23:173, 2, 1.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Go!

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Two press-ups, Alex.

0:23:26 > 0:23:283, 2, 1.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Go!

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Two more press ups, Alex. You weren't quite fast enough.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38- This Aussie speed that's legendary, Alex needs to work on it. - Not sure about the push-ups.

0:23:38 > 0:23:43You're going to have kids with big arms by the end, I think but no, he's doing really good, really good.

0:23:43 > 0:23:48Well, Steve appears impressed, but what do the pupils think?

0:23:48 > 0:23:50I think his methods are pretty basic.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52That's fantastic.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55We don't usually do press-ups here, so...

0:23:55 > 0:23:58He told me off, but it's all good.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00It's gone very well.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02The kids were enthusiastic.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Very much like kids in the UK.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11Daryl's enjoying himself at last but there is one burning issue jeopardising a move.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14Daryl would probably find it a little bit difficult,

0:24:14 > 0:24:19just the fact that from a head of department you're obviously used to to being in charge of your staff...

0:24:19 > 0:24:23Whereas I set the routines and rules and people work to my rules,

0:24:23 > 0:24:27it might be difficult, me following rules and I might have to adapt.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31This is a huge decision. Going back to a standard teaching role

0:24:31 > 0:24:35is just not a career setback, it's also a drop in salary.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37So how will he vote for work?

0:24:37 > 0:24:40My vote is going to have to be...

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Sitting on the fence on this, I'm afraid.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Can't make my mind up yet.

0:24:48 > 0:24:53Daryl is unconvinced about his work prospects down under.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57He needs to consider the impact of a lower wage.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59If this move to Australia is going to come off,

0:24:59 > 0:25:04the Brentons need to weigh up whether they can actually afford to live there.

0:25:04 > 0:25:09We've prepared a comparison of their UK and Australian living costs.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13So salary, back home, round about 43,000...

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Yes.- ...English pounds.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18But that's as head of department.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Down under, he'd have to take a standard teaching role.

0:25:20 > 0:25:2334,000.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26That would be a bit of a drop, wouldn't it?

0:25:26 > 0:25:28We are a little bit down in the bottom line.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31Daryl's lower salary has hit them hard.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm in flux, I don't really know what's going to happen.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36But how about the costs?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Gas and electric at 110.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- That's a saving already.- We spend more than that, I guess.- We do, yes.

0:25:42 > 0:25:48- In Australia, we're all going to have to have health insurance at £90 a month.- Crikey.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Council tax is slightly less. 65.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Look at that.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56The price of beans and sausages, that's unbelievable.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59I'm quite shocked at that.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03- This is a big one, groceries.- That's something we've got to look up.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06After crunching the numbers, what's the final result?

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Expenditure could be a couple of hundred pounds better off.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13That sounds good to me.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Sounds good but we don't know about wages, do we?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17We don't. The thing is,

0:26:19 > 0:26:24we don't know till we get there and start living the life, we won't know till then, will we, I suppose.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's time to vote.

0:26:26 > 0:26:32Based on the cost of living in Australia and the UK, we're going to vote for...

0:26:32 > 0:26:33Australia!

0:26:33 > 0:26:38That's all very well, but the Brentons mustn't forget the most important financial factor -

0:26:38 > 0:26:44if they can't sell their UK house for a good price, their Australian dream could be over.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49Back in West Yorkshire, the Brentons own a four-bedroom semi,

0:26:49 > 0:26:53which they bought in 2007 for £200,000.

0:26:53 > 0:26:59Both Daryl and Jenny now believe it to be worth around £220,000.

0:26:59 > 0:27:05We've arranged for two estate agents to give a more recent evaluation.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10It's a nice spacious hall, but it would benefit from a fitted carpet just to finish it off.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Unusual use of a sitting room!

0:27:22 > 0:27:25It's a good-size master bedroom with a bay window.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28Still with an original fireplace there.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Nice room. Lovely en suite.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Got everything you'd need.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42I think this property is a lovely property.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's nice and spacious inside,

0:27:44 > 0:27:46it's got everything you'd want and a good street to be on.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50I would suggest marketing it around the £210,000,

0:27:50 > 0:27:56with possibly selling it at nearer the 185, 190, I think.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58That's a lot less than Daryl and Jenny paid for it,

0:27:58 > 0:27:59but there may be worse to come.

0:27:59 > 0:28:04It's been well modernised basically, but one or two areas to attend to.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07In my opinion, the present value of the property

0:28:07 > 0:28:10is in the region of £170,000.

0:28:14 > 0:28:15Mmm.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Well, that's a bit less than I expected.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23That's a lot less.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25A lot less, the second one, certainly.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27The Brentons have spent time improving their

0:28:27 > 0:28:31UK home and were expecting a return on their investment.

0:28:31 > 0:28:38Discovering it's worth £50,000 less than expected is a huge blow. They're not impressed.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41I don't think that's realistic, personally, and I'm not happy with that.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- No.- Not happy with that, sorry.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46- 170 is way too low. - No way, that's too low.

0:28:47 > 0:28:51They dream of buying a large, spacious property with a pool

0:28:51 > 0:28:56but with this valuation, the Aussie fantasy may never become a reality.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59We've got to start again over here in Australia, and obviously

0:28:59 > 0:29:03we want the best property and the best life that we can have in Australia.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06In order to do that, we need the money behind us.

0:29:06 > 0:29:11Realistically, I think 195 would be as low as I could go on the house.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13I wouldn't go any lower than that.

0:29:13 > 0:29:18- 195 would be a bargain for whoever got it.- We're not giving it away.

0:29:18 > 0:29:24195 is actually less than what we paid for it three years ago, where we bought the property for 200.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27So, I'm not prepared to give my home away.

0:29:30 > 0:29:37Finding out their home has dropped so massively in value is a huge blow to the Brentons' expectations.

0:29:37 > 0:29:43But if you thought they were giving up on their Aussie dream, you'd be mistaken.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48Melbourne's world-renown botanical gardens extend over 90 acres.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52And thanks to the hot climate, can be enjoyed all year round.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56What I like about Australia is, people generally seem to lead

0:29:56 > 0:30:00a much more active and healthy outdoor lifestyle.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05It just appeals to me, to be outside in the fresh air, in the sunshine.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10It'll give us a really good quality of life, especially for the kids, really.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yeah, it's beautiful.

0:30:14 > 0:30:19Jenny is trying her hardest to embrace Daryl's dream of life down under.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23But deep down, she's worried about what that would mean for her.

0:30:23 > 0:30:28I would say the grass is more considerably greener in Australia but it's like with everything else,

0:30:28 > 0:30:31it still needs tending to and caring and mowing.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34I am thinking hard about it, this is just a visit.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37If we do decide to move to Australia, it'll not be like this every day,

0:30:37 > 0:30:43Daryl's going to hopefully be working Monday to Friday, maybe I'm at home with the kids on my own.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48I have been thinking about my friends and family a lot lately.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50That sort of dawned on me a little bit,

0:30:50 > 0:30:54that I'm not going to have that social side, friendships whilst I'm here.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58It's going to be hard times ahead of us if we do decide to move.

0:30:58 > 0:31:05Considering both lifestyles, the UK and Australia, I think we're going to have to vote for...

0:31:05 > 0:31:07- Australia!- Australia!

0:31:07 > 0:31:10Australia!

0:31:10 > 0:31:16But is Jenny putting on a brave face to keep Daryl happy?

0:31:19 > 0:31:22If you moved to the other side of the world, one of the

0:31:22 > 0:31:27hardest things to cope with is the pain of leaving loved ones behind.

0:31:27 > 0:31:35As Daryl has a 16-year-old son from a previous relationship, this is going to be very tough.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39We've prepared some messages from friends and family back home.

0:31:39 > 0:31:43Hi, everybody. Hope you're having a really good time in Australia. Everybody's missing you lots.

0:31:43 > 0:31:44Hi, Jenny, Daryl.

0:31:44 > 0:31:49Hi Bruce and Jeanie. I hope you've had a fantastic time.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52Daryl is very dry, he's very witty,

0:31:52 > 0:31:55he's good fun and he's a good laugh.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57I would describe my dad as...

0:31:57 > 0:32:02He's pretty serious but sometimes he can be funny, and

0:32:02 > 0:32:05he's just a nice person to be around.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Jennifer's a mini version of me.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10She's very devoted to the children and she's very devoted to Daryl.

0:32:10 > 0:32:12And she works very hard in the house as well.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15She's a joy to have as a daughter.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19I'd describe Jenny as a very nice and warm person.

0:32:19 > 0:32:23She likes to laugh a lot and keep the kids happy.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26When Jennifer first mentioned going to Australia, I was a bit surprised

0:32:26 > 0:32:29and I just said, "Well, why don't you just rip my heart out?"

0:32:29 > 0:32:33Because first thoughts were that we weren't going to see

0:32:33 > 0:32:35the grandchildren grow up.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37I might have upset her

0:32:37 > 0:32:41with my reaction to this trip.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45I think so much about the grandkids, it was just, to me, a natural reaction.

0:32:46 > 0:32:51When he first told me he might be moving to Australia, I was very shocked and...

0:32:51 > 0:32:56Very shocked, because it came out of the blue to me and I didn't know anything about it.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Yeah, I think he's going to miss me. I hope he does!

0:33:00 > 0:33:03There will be a void if they go. We're so used to seeing them all.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07We've seen them grow up, basically, and you do miss that.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09- We're going to miss that. - We really are going to miss them.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12It really goes without saying.

0:33:12 > 0:33:19I will miss her loads and loads, and probably you would not be able to express it in any sort of way.

0:33:19 > 0:33:24You know, like, this much. It will just be a huge void.

0:33:24 > 0:33:29Being able to just drive down to her house and come and see her and the children.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32It won't be the same, but that's something that we've just got to

0:33:32 > 0:33:35come to terms with if they do decide to go.

0:33:35 > 0:33:39I think it'll be harder leaving Stuart. I mean, he's a growing lad.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42I think he'll miss going out for a drink with him

0:33:42 > 0:33:45and playing a little bit of sport with him.

0:33:45 > 0:33:49What I would miss most about them moving is just coming up to talk

0:33:49 > 0:33:53to them and see them, and missing out on Bruce and Jeanie growing up.

0:33:53 > 0:33:58I wish that they'd stay in England because I'd get to see them more, but...

0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Nowt I can really do. - If you do decide to go,

0:34:01 > 0:34:05then we'll back you wholeheartedly, but we will miss the grandchildren.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07I must say that.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09We want you to go for all the right reasons.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11We're really going to miss you.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14But good luck and hope you go for it.

0:34:14 > 0:34:20I just wanted to say that you should follow your hearts' decision, and I'm sure it'll be the right one.

0:34:20 > 0:34:21I'll see you when you get back.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- You all right?- Yeah, fine.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33Just quite touched by what Stuart said.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Yeah.- Really touched. - Everybody - what everybody said.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Yeah.

0:34:39 > 0:34:40Any tears?

0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Just a few.- Well, it's... You know.

0:34:47 > 0:34:50It's...

0:34:50 > 0:34:54I don't know. It's like they've told us how much they think of us and...

0:34:54 > 0:34:57- Make it all a bit more real? - It does, yeah.- A bit more reality.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01Back at home you don't say that every day to people.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04"You're a massive part of our lives," and...

0:35:06 > 0:35:08You know people love you and that.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10You just don't sort of say it every day, do you?

0:35:10 > 0:35:14You know, as much as I love Daryl and everything, I do need my friends.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18I think, not having anybody out here, having a friendship with

0:35:18 > 0:35:21somebody, does feel a little bit scary.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23A bit scary to me.

0:35:23 > 0:35:30I've never thought of going out with Stuart for a pint or a drink in few years' time or whenever.

0:35:30 > 0:35:36Never thought about not playing golf with him or whatever, and it's things like that that bring it more home.

0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Yeah.- Obviously, when I told Stuart, we were really upset.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42We had a couple of hours just crying on the settee.

0:35:42 > 0:35:48Just not saying anything - just crying, and stopping, and then kind of coming to terms with it.

0:35:48 > 0:35:53I must admit that the reaction that Stuart had,

0:35:53 > 0:35:58at that point, I was just ready to say, "No. Absolutely no way.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01"I'm not having Stuart upset."

0:36:01 > 0:36:06It's made me think a lot, it really has, in such a short space of time.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08It's made me feel a little bit selfish, really.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17Daryl Brenton dreamt of a perfect life for his family down under.

0:36:17 > 0:36:21Nice, big detached house. At least four bedrooms.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Somewhere I could escape. Swimming pool.

0:36:23 > 0:36:25- It'd be nice. - That'd be on my wish list.- Yeah.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28But it soon turned into a nightmare.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30It might need a clean before I get in.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33There's fish in there, if I'm honest.

0:36:33 > 0:36:34My kids won't be going in there.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Australia was more expensive than they hoped, and they had to deal

0:36:37 > 0:36:41with a pay cut plus a lower valuation of their UK home.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Present value of the property is in the region of £170,000.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48We are a little bit down, at the bottom line.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52But money's nothing compared to leaving family behind.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54We want you to go for all the right reasons.

0:36:54 > 0:36:56We're really going to miss you.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07Seeing messages from loved ones has forced Jenny and Daryl to come to

0:37:07 > 0:37:11terms with what they'd be giving up in the UK.

0:37:11 > 0:37:18Will meeting some British expats help ease those concerns about cutting ties with home?

0:37:18 > 0:37:22The Brentons have come to meet the Harts.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27Annalie and her husband, Gary, have lived in Melbourne for two years

0:37:27 > 0:37:31but judging by the boxes, they won't be here for much longer.

0:37:31 > 0:37:36Jenny is quick to find out whether it's the UK they're heading back to.

0:37:36 > 0:37:40Are you moving house? I just noticed all the boxes when we came in.

0:37:40 > 0:37:47Yes, we've decided after two and a bit years to head back, so we're all packed up and...

0:37:47 > 0:37:51- Ah, so you're going back home now? - The time is coming next week, yeah. We just...

0:37:51 > 0:37:56We missed family and friends just too much, really, and whilst we love it here, there's just...

0:37:56 > 0:38:00There's always a big hole in your life and you can't fill it.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03- It's quite difficult to describe, really.- Yeah.

0:38:03 > 0:38:09What was the hardest thing for you when you moved out here, and is there anything that you'd change?

0:38:09 > 0:38:14It was a bit like climbing a mountain, trying to get out here, I have to say, and it became very much

0:38:14 > 0:38:21an administrative challenge, and that's where I think we look back and realise that we didn't actually

0:38:21 > 0:38:26give the emotional side of things as much thought as we probably should have, perhaps, done.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30You said you felt straightaway it didn't feel right and you wanted to go straight home.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32What do you think made you feel like that?

0:38:32 > 0:38:37I think it was the thought of being away from everybody, forever.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39We said that this morning.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41It does feel a little bit selfish.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44Yeah, and I think we've discussed that.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48We've said if we'd known exactly what we were doing, maybe we wouldn't have done it.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Have you got any regrets?

0:38:52 > 0:38:59We feel sad that it hasn't worked out to be what we imagined it was going to be.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02We do feel sad about that, and it's only by coming out you realise,

0:39:02 > 0:39:04yes, there's fantastic things, there really are,

0:39:04 > 0:39:08but it's almost on a surface level, for us. That's how we find it.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11And once you dig a bit deeper, you're missing those really

0:39:11 > 0:39:15fundamental things that you value in your life.

0:39:15 > 0:39:19I've had time, a lot of time, to reflect on the decision to

0:39:19 > 0:39:25move to Australia, and I've had many a sleepless night, and I've had moments where I've just thought...

0:39:25 > 0:39:29I've woken up in a blind panic and just thought, "I can't do it. I can't do it."

0:39:29 > 0:39:35Maybe we should have just jumped in and got more involved in things, but it's hard.

0:39:38 > 0:39:44Meeting a family who ultimately couldn't cope with being so far from loved ones has highlighted

0:39:44 > 0:39:49to Jenny and Daryl just how difficult emigrating can be.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51But will it affect their decision?

0:39:51 > 0:39:54It's nearly time for the final vote.

0:39:54 > 0:40:00After speaking to Annalie today, and she said it can be difficult to make new friends, it has made me think

0:40:00 > 0:40:03about if we move out here it could be difficult for me.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06Both myself and Jenny have had a reality check.

0:40:06 > 0:40:11I think Jenny in particular, now she's spoken to someone,

0:40:11 > 0:40:16realises it's not going to be maybe as easy as we thought. It's going to be a lot more difficult.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18They can't sort of just go out, socialising.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21There's nobody to fall back on if the kids are poorly.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23They've just sort of got each other.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26As much as we say we can try everything,

0:40:26 > 0:40:30until our gut feeling starts, then we can't really say a word.

0:40:30 > 0:40:35Their trial week down under has been a big wake-up call for Daryl, career-wise...

0:40:35 > 0:40:39It might be difficult, me following rules, and I might have to adapt.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43- ..financially...- If I could afford this place, I would not buy it.

0:40:43 > 0:40:44..and emotionally.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48I wish that they'd stay in England because I'd get to see them more, but...

0:40:48 > 0:40:51- nowt I can really do. - Very difficult, with Stuart.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53I will miss him incredibly.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57But he's a young man and he's got his own life to lead,

0:40:57 > 0:41:03and I'm sure he'll make the right decisions, maybe even if I don't.

0:41:03 > 0:41:09There are many reasons for Daryl not to make the move but the biggest obstacle of all is his wife, Jenny.

0:41:09 > 0:41:14It has made me realise how far Australia is away from home.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17It's a day away on a plane.

0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's a long journey.

0:41:18 > 0:41:24Hypothetically, if I vote for Australia and Jenny votes for England, we split up.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29No, I don't know.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32There'd be a lot of discussion.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35If one of us was really dead set against it, the other one really

0:41:35 > 0:41:39dead set for it, then there'd be discussions.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43There'd be talk about it, and then I'd get my own way.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Simple as that!

0:41:45 > 0:41:48I've lived my life in the UK for the past 35 years.

0:41:48 > 0:41:53It's familiar, I know what I'm doing there, I've got my friends there, I've got my family based there.

0:41:53 > 0:41:57It's a massive decision, thinking about moving to Australia.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01I think it's one of the biggest, one of the most biggest,

0:42:01 > 0:42:05life-changing decisions I've ever had to come to terms with.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Not quite sure which way we're going to go.

0:42:08 > 0:42:14Daryl's convinced Jenny will choose Australia, but does he understand how difficult it is for her?

0:42:14 > 0:42:17The whole family's future is hanging in the balance.

0:42:17 > 0:42:20It's time for the final vote.

0:42:20 > 0:42:24We've had a fantastic week in Australia.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28We've used this opportunity to have a good look round, discover the

0:42:28 > 0:42:34culture and the lifestyle, and based on these facts, we've decided that we're going to go for...

0:42:37 > 0:42:39- ..Australia!- Australia!

0:42:39 > 0:42:41Australia!

0:42:41 > 0:42:43So Jenny's decided to fulfil Daryl's dream.

0:42:43 > 0:42:46You know, at the end of the day, Daryl wants to go.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50Apart from the kids, he's the most important person in the world to me.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54We talk about everything, and I have to respect what he wants to do.

0:42:54 > 0:43:00It's been a life-changing journey for Daryl and Jenny.

0:43:00 > 0:43:07They're giving up a great deal back in the UK but they believe the sacrifice will be worth it.

0:43:07 > 0:43:11We wish them all the best with their new life down under.
