0:00:03 > 0:00:06If your mind was made up about emigrating,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10how would you convince a partner who felt the exact opposite?
0:00:10 > 0:00:11For one family,
0:00:11 > 0:00:16facing that dilemma means making the hardest decision of their lives.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Angela Morby lives and breathes one dream.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Our life revolves around Australia. Australia this, Australia that.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26It's not a dream, it's a reality, it's got to be, it has to be.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30But for husband Brendon, the idea of emigrating is a nightmare.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33I do think about it all the time.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36It is on my mind 24/7. Even when I go to sleep at night,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I'm just thinking about it all the time. You know, what do we do?
0:00:39 > 0:00:42I just really don't know what to do, I really don't.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45And their loved ones can't bear to say goodbye.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Not to have our grandchildren around
0:00:48 > 0:00:51will be absolutely devastating to me and John.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54- Now I'll cry... - HER VOICE BREAKS
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Now they have just seven days to decide
0:00:56 > 0:00:59if they could start a new life Down Under.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27With landscapes that range from vast deserts to tropical rainforests,
0:01:27 > 0:01:31all ringed by thousands of miles of pristine beaches,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Australia is a magnet for Brits looking for a new life.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39However, the reality doesn't always match up to the dream,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42and thousands return home with their plans in ruins.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Over the next week,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49the Morbys will get to experience the reality of living in Australia.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53At the end of it, they'll face a life-changing decision -
0:01:53 > 0:01:56whether to stay in the UK, or to make the move for good.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08After a marathon journey of 10,000 miles and 24 hours in the air,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11the Morbys arrive in Perth, ready for adventure.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Very excited about this week. Just can't stop thinking about it, just...
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The days just couldn't go fast enough.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I find it really fun.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Although not everyone has been swept along with the high spirits.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30The rest of the family have been jumping up and down like idiots for the last few weeks!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Erm, they've been very excited.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Hopefully, there will be plenty to keep them excited in the week ahead.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40The Morby family's journey
0:02:40 > 0:02:44started in the village of St Anne's Chapel in Cornwall.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47It's home to Brendon and Angela, along with their daughters
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Hannah, who's 13, and twins Jane and Lucy, aged eight.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57They have a life they all enjoy, but Angela wants to move to Australia.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00What started as a dream has become an obsession,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02even though she's never been there.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Our life revolves around Australia. Australia this, Australia that.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Look at this, look at that, look at what we can do.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I buy magazines about Australia and New Zealand, I leave them
0:03:11 > 0:03:13in strategic places around the house.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17It's not a dream, it's a reality. It's got to be, it has to be.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20No, yours would probably be bedroom two, Hannah, next to the cinema room.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24And it's a passion that she's passed on to their daughters.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I already know where all the shopping malls are,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I know where, like, there are theme parks, I know where the cinema is,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34the weather, the temperature difference and everything.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Me and the girls talk about Australia all the time.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Normally on the way to school or the way home from school,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42they'll be, "Oh, if we go to Australia, can we look at this,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43"and can we go there?"
0:03:43 > 0:03:47However, there's one person who hasn't caught the Australia bug.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Born and bred in Cornwall, painter and decorator Brendon has
0:03:50 > 0:03:53worked hard to build a successful life and business.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55He doesn't share the dream.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59As far as I'm concerned, you know, we've got a lot here,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04why change it, why get rid of what we've got, when I can't see
0:04:04 > 0:04:09that there's any issues with, any problems with what we have here?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I can't understand why she's so unhappy here -
0:04:14 > 0:04:16when we've got a nice house,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20nice friends, nice neighbours, you know, what can be so much better?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Brendon works such long hours, you know, we need more fun time,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26more family quality time. And I think the climate
0:04:26 > 0:04:30and the outdoor style of life over there will give us exactly that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Unfortunately, Angela's obsession with Australia
0:04:35 > 0:04:37has left them divided.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40He thinks we've got the full package here, so I have to push.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And every time I push, we get to sort of a climax,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46we have words, an argument, whatever, and then it's all brushed
0:04:46 > 0:04:49under the carpet again for three or four months.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52We've been doing that for years, for as long as I can remember.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57It's on my mind, you know, all but 24/7 at the moment.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And it is stressful.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I find it very scary!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05She wants to go to somewhere that we've never been to.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10The whole thing is just a massive, massive upheaval.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17For Brendon, with close family and friends living nearby, the idea
0:05:17 > 0:05:22of giving up the life he loves in Cornwall is just too much to bear.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Sometimes I feel I just can't cope with it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27But, you know, it's just the way I am.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- HE SIGHS - I don't even know what I'm doing.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37I just feel that I'm being pushed into a situation
0:05:37 > 0:05:39that I don't want to do.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And I feel completely the same about staying here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'm not prepared to give up on my dream
0:05:44 > 0:05:48and my plans for the children and for our future.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51This is where you may have to compromise.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I don't look at it as we're throwing anything away here.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I look at it as if it's an opportunity to gain more life,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01life for us as a family.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Now, having agreed to give Australia a try,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07they know the next seven days will determine their entire future.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11If I don't do something, there is going to be that resentment,
0:06:11 > 0:06:12for sure.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15You know, the stress and the worry of going over there is also,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18there is that stress and worries if we don't go.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I've got that resentment possibly for the rest of my life.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23At the end of this trial week, if Brendon is still
0:06:23 > 0:06:27voting for UK, I think we've got some major talking to do.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I'm not staying here, it's not happening. It's not happening.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35I'm going. Me and the girls, we're going, so it's up to him.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The Morbys' dreams are on a collision course.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Angela's convinced Australia is the right place for the family,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47even though she hasn't been there before.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50But Brendon simply can't bear the thought of leaving the home
0:06:50 > 0:06:52and people he loves.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55For one of them, the next week could end in heartbreak.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01The Morbys will be spending their trial week on the outskirts of Perth.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05The region has a booming economy, which should provide good job
0:07:05 > 0:07:07opportunities for both Brendon and Angela.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And being spread along the coast,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12it has the kind of scenery they're used to.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21It's late and dark when the family arrive at their rental home.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Hopefully, it won't disappoint.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Wow!- This looks good, doesn't it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It's big!- What's in there?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Shall we have a look?- Wow!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- Crikey, look at this!- We're home!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42This is like it! You said we're home, Hannah!
0:07:43 > 0:07:50This is what I like. Open family space. It gets the thumbs up from me.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54SHE CHUCKLES But you need to go to bed.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Better get the old bags out of the car.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01After years of longing for this day, it's the start Angela wanted.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05But now, the reality of what lies ahead is dawning on her.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09For me, the biggest thing this week is the job prospects and, you know,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12if it doesn't all add up at the end of it, that's it.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Plan B? I haven't got a plan B.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And Angela isn't the only one who's aware that moving the entire
0:08:18 > 0:08:20family on a dream is a risky business.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25I think it'll be hard for Mum, cos if Dad doesn't like it
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and, say, Mum might not even like it, we don't know.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But she has this feeling that she's going to like it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33But it depends what the week's going to bring to us.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37For Brendon, this is definitely not love at first sight.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I am happy where I am, I don't want to live anywhere else.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I'm sure it is fantastic and there is a lot of opportunities,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46but I am just happy where I am.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Which is fine, but there's five of us in this family.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You're going to be won over, aren't you?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01The Morbys own this four-bedroom house in Cornwall.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04They've both worked hard to make it into a family home.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07But Angela, unlike Brendon, isn't too attached to it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10If it was up to me, I'd just sell everything and go.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12But I think that's why we tend to work quite well,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14cos he's a bit more grounded than I am.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And their daughter Hannah knows exactly what would make
0:09:17 > 0:09:19a house in Australia more appealing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It would have to have a lovely pool, cos that is, like, essential.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You need that.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29A huge wardrobe for his clothes. That would be a good thing.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33But Dad hasn't been lured by Australian houses.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35It's not the main reason for going over there.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39As far as I'm concerned, just to have a nice house and a nice pool,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42why put yourself through all that, you know, stress and...
0:09:42 > 0:09:46anger of having all that?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48You know, I'm quite happy with here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53I know that's what we keep talking about, but it's... Yeah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It looks as though Perth's houses will need to be spectacular
0:09:56 > 0:09:59if they're to win Brendon over.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Today, we're giving the Morbys a taste of the local property market,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06from dream home to bargain basement.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08After seeing three possible options,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10they'll discover how much each one costs.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15On a day that's far from typically Australian,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18their house-hunting starts in the Australind area.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's two hours' drive south of Perth,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24but should mean more house for your money.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's a scenic spot, set around a large estuary,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and with lots of facilities and established schools,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31it's good for families.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35So, after all Angela's time scouring the internet,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38will this three-bedroom house come close to her dreams?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- This looks nice, doesn't it?- Nice, established little garden, isn't it?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Positive sounds from Brendon already - that's good to hear.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But what will he make of the inside?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Ah!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- That's nice, isn't it? - This must be the master bedroom.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05It's quite small, if you compare it to the size of our bedroom at home.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I suppose because you've got the wardrobe space,
0:11:07 > 0:11:09you don't need the units in the bedroom, do you?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You've got everything you need in there.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I sense some disappointment from Angela, but she's staying positive.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17She knows she's got a lot of work to do.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Oh, this looks nice!- Mm.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Nice, big, open space.- It is nice. Oh, that's what I like.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24The breakfast bar.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28And three stools, ready built in for girls for breakfast.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- It is a bit dark in here, though, it's not...- Yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- But this is a bigger living space than we have at home, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Brendon might not be bubbling with enthusiasm,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41but Angela's not giving up so easily.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- Maybe the garden can help her cause. - Oh, this is nice, isn't it?
0:11:45 > 0:11:50This is a lovely space. I like this. Something we can't have at home because of the weather, isn't it?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Nice try, Angela, but I doubt
0:11:52 > 0:11:55if the Australian weather is going to win any votes today!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Do you think you'd like to play out here?- Yeah.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Run around, get your trampoline out?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Yeah, but not in this sort of weather!
0:12:01 > 0:12:03SHE LAUGHS Bit breezy for you!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Despite Angela's best efforts,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08this house hasn't really made much of an impression.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Can the price make any difference?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Will it even be affordable on their £280,000 budget?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Oh!- 220.- That's well within budget.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25It's obviously a good area, isn't it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- Yeah.- Nice new school for you guys and lots of park space, so... Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I think it's worth it. Let's go and find some more, come on.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Let's have a look at the next place.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Angela may be staying upbeat, but Brendon isn't giving much away.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Maybe the next house will fire him up.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's in Port Kennedy, close to central Perth,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50meaning more job opportunities and facilities nearby.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53This is a large, six-bedroom house that would give the Morbys
0:12:53 > 0:12:58plenty of space for them and any guests from the UK.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Ah, what have we got here, then, guys?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- It's raining.- Watch your feet.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, this is a bit different, isn't it?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10There's lots of rooms going off this central area, isn't there?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's a bit dated, isn't it?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It needs a good sort of redoing, really, doesn't it?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21I guess that's a job for Brendon, then! As is the lounge.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- That's a huge room, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- I think Daddy would have to work his magic in here.- Yeah.- It would need...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Yeah.- Needs major work, doesn't it, really?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's quite a big project, isn't it?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Looks like Brendon would be busy in this house,
0:13:39 > 0:13:43but there is a feature that might make it worthwhile.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48I think I can see something else, through the double doors.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54What do you think of that, girls? That is lovely, isn't it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- You'd have lots of fun in there in the summer, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Unfortunately, Brendon might not get time to enjoy the pool.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02He'd be doing the DIY.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04It needs brightening up quite a bit, doesn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05That'd keep you busy, darling!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Needs a bit of updating, though, doesn't it?- Yes, definitely.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Oh, hang on, there's more.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14I think with a serious lick of paint and some modernisation,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16it would be a lovely home.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20OK, OK, that's enough, Angela. You're putting Brendon off now!
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Perhaps we should move on to the cost of this house.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It might need work, but it would be a big home, close to Perth.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34£315,000.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Well, it is a big house. - It's a huge house.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40But I think you need to put into the equation
0:14:40 > 0:14:44how much you're going to spend. It's a lot of work.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So I think that's a reasonable price,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49but I don't think it's for us.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It seems Angela's research was right,
0:14:52 > 0:14:58and maybe they can only afford what they want further out from Perth.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01With that in mind, they're looking near the first property
0:15:01 > 0:15:03they saw, in the brand-new suburb of Treendale.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06There's plenty of new facilities like schools and shops here,
0:15:06 > 0:15:10with parks and waterways also nearby.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15So, what will the Morbys make of a crisp, new show home?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16All a bit posh.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Well, posh is generally good when it comes to houses.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Looks very nice.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31- Wow!- Now you're talking! - Nice, isn't it?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- This must be, like, the cinema room. - Really bright and airy, isn't it?
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- I think you could certainly chill out in here, couldn't you?- Yeah.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45It's fully welcoming, isn't it? I like it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- What's over here?- Wow! This is huge!
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Oh! Now you're talking! This is lovely.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- This is amazing.- Oh, wow, look at that.- I'm speechless!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Look at that. That's bigger than your bedroom, Jane!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05This house has definitely got the wow factor Angela has wanted
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- all this time. - This is what I had in mind.- Yes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11A bit more modern than the...
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Yeah, it seems... Just more welcoming, isn't it?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19The dream is back on track and Angela's pulling the family along.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- When shall we move in? - Look at the big clock!- I know.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- So, do you think this is the house for us?- Yup!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Yup, she's letting nothing get in her way now.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Even Brendon's sounding positive. - Looks nice, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Even on a rainy, horrible day like today, it's so bright, isn't it?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It's lovely. I think we could just move in here, don't you?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Yeah, definitely. It's just so, it's like, amazing.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's so big and spacious.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52It looks like the Morbys have found their ideal home.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56But can they afford it on their £280,000 budget,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58or will it have to stay out of reach?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- The dreaded price. Ooh!- Go on, then. Put us out of our misery.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Go on, Jane. SHE GASPS
0:17:09 > 0:17:11That's right at the top of their budget.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- Not bad, is it, really?- That's amazing. Sold to the Morby family!
0:17:17 > 0:17:18I can't believe that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21And to think that that includes everything - the kitchens,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23the bathrooms.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's a real relief for Angela.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Finally, she's found the house of her dreams.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32The hours that I spend trawling the internet, this is the sort of thing I'm looking at.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36You know, open plan, outside living. What do you think now?
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- It looks lovely, it is fantastic, yeah.- Yeah, I'm really impressed.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Yeah, it's fantastic.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48The Morbys have seen three very different properties today.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The first one, like the weather, left everyone cold.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54The second did impress with its size,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57but being closer to Perth put it beyond their budget.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00But luckily, the sun really came out on the last house
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and won everyone over.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04So, when it comes to property,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07which way will the Morbys cast their votes?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Based on the properties that we've seen today, our vote goes to...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- GIRLS:- Australia!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Undecided.- Ooh!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Why did you go 50-50?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Cos I'm undecided.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I think there's a lot of discussions that we need to
0:18:28 > 0:18:30have before anything can be decided.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33We also have some nice properties in Cornwall.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38Not that we could afford that look like that. Girls, what did you vote?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- TOGETHER:- Australia!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Angela's working hard to sell her Australian dream,
0:18:48 > 0:18:51but Brendon's proving just as tough a customer.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53However, with house prices looking high,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57they both need Perth to offer good work opportunities and salaries.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02In the UK, Angela works part-time as a podiatrist
0:19:02 > 0:19:05and hopes to find a similar job in Australia.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08However, her main concern is Brendon.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11He's built up a successful painting and decorating business
0:19:11 > 0:19:14and Angela knows he doesn't want to give it up.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17For Brendon, to convince him that this is the right thing to do,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20it's the facts and figures. It's the monetary side of it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23He feels, as provider, that's his responsibility.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26It does worry me to bits.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29It is literally starting right from the bottom again and
0:19:29 > 0:19:31trying to build things up, and I've worked so hard to get
0:19:31 > 0:19:37to this stage, I just feel that I would be throwing it all away.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40So, Angela and Brendon are going to find out what working
0:19:40 > 0:19:42in Australia could mean,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and both know just how much is riding on today.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Work is definitely high on our priority,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53because, I mean, you know, we need to earn money to be able to survive.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56So, I mean, it's going to be a big issue.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00This job is going to have to appeal to me in a lot of ways,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04for me to want to even think about giving up what I've got at home.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I'm really nervous about today.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I've never had a job interview in my life,
0:20:08 > 0:20:12so this is, you know, a day of firsts for me.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15We can't come here if we can't secure jobs and a decent salary.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16The dream's over.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Angela is spending the day at a hospital clinic
0:20:21 > 0:20:23with fellow podiatrist Andrew Knox.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Kim's here today for a neurovascular assessment,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28because she has type 1 diabetes.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32So, if you want to come in through to the clinic, Kim.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37This is a great chance for Angela to demonstrate her skills
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and compare notes on working life Down Under.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- That's a nice, healthy sounding pulse you've got there. - Sounding good.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47So, are these routine tests that you'd be doing in your practice?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Yes. I come in and do, you know, diabetes as separate assessments,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54and then pass that information on to their local doctor.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Angela would love to work in an Australian hospital
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and she's certainly getting to grips with her new environment.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Across town, Brendon has arrived on site.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07He's spending the morning with ex-pat Ricky Bestford,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10who has his own painting and decorating business.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- I'm Brendon.- I'm Ricky, mate, nice to meet you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Being the boss, Ricky doesn't waste any time.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19We've got to get this one done by the end of the week, so...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Better get cracking.- Get you a brush and get you started, yeah.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Well, Brendon seems to have what it takes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27And, as the morning progresses,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31there's time to find out what working in Australia could mean.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Do you find yourself doing a lot of long hours?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Not really. We do have a...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Like, through the summer months, we normally do eight-hour days
0:21:39 > 0:21:41and try and get to work for six, as the sun's coming up,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and you're back home for two.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Then you've got the rest of the day, kids come off school.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Do you find yourself having to work weekends much?- We try not to.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Cos there's so much going on with the kids' sports,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and we do surf lifesaving with the kids on the beach,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58there's a lot going on with activities, so we try not to.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00With Brendon working long hours at home,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03this could mean the work-life balance he wants.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06But is there a downside to easier hours?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08What sort of money could I earn if I was over here?
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- The employees, they earn roughly about 50 grand a year.- Right.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14- That's Aussie dollars.- Yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17And working for ourselves, running your own business,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19is anywhere up to 120.
0:22:19 > 0:22:2250,000 is £32,000.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Even working for someone else,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Brendon could earn £10,000 more with less hours.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So, you've got a lot to think about now.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I have got a lot to think about, yeah, yeah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You don't fancy moving back out and working for me?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36No, no, I don't like the cold.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Working in Australia looks promising for Brendon, if he can bear
0:22:40 > 0:22:43to give up the business he's worked hard to build.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Back at the hospital, it's not looking as good for Angela.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50At the moment, it's very difficult to actually acquire new jobs,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54and just from last year's cohort, we're probably looking at about
0:22:54 > 0:22:58one third of the graduates that still aren't able to get full-time work.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01That's quite worrying, isn't it? In the grand scheme of things.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It is a little bit. Your best bet may be starting your own practice.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08There's plenty of opportunities throughout Western Australia, particularly in the rural areas.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11What do you think is the sort of average earnings
0:23:11 > 0:23:13that I would be able to expect?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Starting salary for a new graduate is around 60 grand.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21It goes upwards of there, so the sky's your limit, Angela, I think.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23That's really good news, that's good to hear.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Angela might be pleased by the salary prospects,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30but with little chance of getting work in a hospital, it would mean
0:23:30 > 0:23:34taking the risk of setting up her own business in a new country.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36When she meets up with Brendon,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39she's keen to find out how his day went.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It was quite interesting, actually, yeah.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44The big question, the money question, how did we fare on that?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Erm, I mean, if you worked for someone,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50their income is slightly higher than what I would be at home.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54And if you worked as a self-employed person, like myself,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57then their income is quite a bit more.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Oh, right. So, less hours, more money.- Yeah.- And some!- Yup.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05That must sound like a winning combination to Angela.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Could this be a straightforward vote?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Australia.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- UK. - SHE GASPS
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Really?- Yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Sun, all that extra money, less hours?
0:24:29 > 0:24:30That's crazy!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I still am thinking about what I have at home,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and there is a lot here, there is a lot here.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I can't say that there isn't. And there is a lot of positives here.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42We still need to sit down and do a lot of discussion and a lot of talking.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Hmm!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Despite the pluses of working Down Under,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54the pull of home has Brendon sticking firmly to his guns.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58But Angela's mixed news hasn't swayed her vote one bit.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01With plenty to discuss, it's vital they find out
0:25:01 > 0:25:03if they can afford this move or not.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08To be able to buy their dream Australian home, the Morbys
0:25:08 > 0:25:12would need to get every penny they can for their house in the UK.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14This bit's a bit scary, isn't it?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Find out actually what the house is worth.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21They think it could achieve £250,000.
0:25:21 > 0:25:26So we sent two estate agents to give their professional valuations.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Right, into the entrance lobby.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32A little bit on the cramped side and made worse by the clutter here,
0:25:32 > 0:25:37but that could always be tidied. Little cloakroom there. That's fine.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Oh, this is better, into the bright and breezy lounge,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47with fresh decorations.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49That's much better.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51This is a nice feature.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I really do like open plan kitchen-living rooms,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I think they're great for families.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Into a bunk room. It's obviously for two youngsters, that's ideal.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08And a large double built-in wardrobe, that's excellent.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Oh, wow, what a fantastic space! Excellent.
0:26:13 > 0:26:18And eaves storage space as well. That's a real bonus, actually.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22In the current competitive market,
0:26:22 > 0:26:28I would recommend an asking price of 219, and take 215 for a quick sale.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30In this market,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I would be recommending an asking price in the region
0:26:33 > 0:26:36of 235 to 245.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40For a quick sale, probably around about 225.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Those are both lower than the £250,000 they'd hoped for.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I think the 235 to 245 is, you know,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- roughly on a par with what I thought, anyway.- Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54That's doable, I think that gives us good equity, which gives us
0:26:54 > 0:26:57a good deposit here.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00So, yeah, I think that's good.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It makes things a little bit more within our reach so, yeah,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm happy with that. We're happy.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10As ever, Angela is looking on the bright side.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13But I'm not sure Brendon is quite as convinced.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Can a close look at their finances help persuade him,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20or will their calculations spell the end of Angela's dream?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22The dreaded figures!
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- Do you want to do the honours, or shall I?- You go for it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30The suspense is killing me.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36£85.28 extra that we'd spend
0:27:36 > 0:27:38on a rough, you know,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41average shopping week, so it's quite a difference.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Everything seems to be plus more, doesn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48And there's still the increased mortgage costs to factor in.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55The dream home is going to be a monthly payment of £1,029.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Mm. That is double what we're paying at the moment at home.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06The costs are really mounting up against Australia.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Can their wages make any difference?
0:28:08 > 0:28:14That's a combined income after tax of 58,300,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18which is considerably more than I think even if I was working
0:28:18 > 0:28:22full-time, we would never earn that amount of money, would we?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26That's all sounding very promising. But how do the numbers balance up?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29We should be, judged on those figures,
0:28:29 > 0:28:35a total of £1,876 a month better off.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- And that's judged on that dream house.- Yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- That's quite a difference, isn't it? - Yeah.- I think that's very positive.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47Nearly £2,000 is quite a sizeable sum left over each month,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50and that includes paying a bigger mortgage for their dream house.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Is this the breakthrough Angela's been waiting for?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Let's put it to the vote.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59After looking at the finances today, it would appear that on paper,
0:28:59 > 0:29:02we are financially better off here in Australia,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04so based on that today, our vote goes to...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Australia.- Australia.- Yay!
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I couldn't really say the UK, could I?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22I mean, it was too obvious to state that we are financially
0:29:22 > 0:29:26better off in Australia than we would be back in the UK.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Seeing the facts in black-and-white showed Brendon a real upside to life
0:29:34 > 0:29:38in Perth, and his first vote for Oz was a huge boost to Angela's dream.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41She'll be hoping that a taste of the local lifestyle
0:29:41 > 0:29:43will be just as sweet.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49So, today, to find out what they could do together as a family,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51the Morbys are off to Penguin Island.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55It's a large nature reserve just off the Perth coast.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59First stop is the penguin feeding centre.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Jane loves penguins. Penguins are her main thing. So she's delighted.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13This is the kind of day out they could have on a regular basis,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16and it's going down well with the girls.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I love Australia cos it's really hot here.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21And I've seen lots of penguins.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30You can see all the pelicans.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33There's loads of them! See their little heads bobbing around?
0:30:33 > 0:30:38For Brendon, this is what time with his family is all about.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41I mean, it's not often that we get a chance to go out
0:30:41 > 0:30:45together as a family on a day like today.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I mean, to do this is fantastic.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51And the girls are appreciating the quality time with Dad.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Dad's normally at work, so we never actually get to see him.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57So, yeah, it's a good thing that we're actually out,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00doing something as a family.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03And just... I don't know, I think being outside makes you smile.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05So, it's a good thing.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It's been a relaxing day for the Morby family,
0:31:09 > 0:31:13enjoying the gentler pleasures of the Australian lifestyle.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Unfortunately,
0:31:14 > 0:31:18the chance to relax hasn't helped to lessen Brendon's anxieties.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21The whole thing just frightens the life out of me, to be honest.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25I do think about it all the time, it is on my mind 24/7.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Even when I go to sleep at night,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I'm just thinking about it all the time.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You know, what do we do? What do we do?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I just really don't know what to do, I really don't.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39I mean, the place is fantastic, I mean, it is lovely.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42But I don't know if it's somewhere that I want to come to live.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46I just feel that I'm under so much pressure to make a decision
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and I don't know what my decision is.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50And because it's just this pressure all the time,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53it is really starting to...
0:31:53 > 0:31:55you know, just get me down a bit.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Emigrating to the other side of the world is a massive upheaval,
0:32:05 > 0:32:10and for Angela, it's brought to mind why Brendon might be so anxious.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I think he's just scared of committing to make the move,
0:32:13 > 0:32:17which I can understand. I couldn't want for anything more. Brendon just wants everyone to be
0:32:17 > 0:32:21safe, have a nice home and not have any worries.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25And for him, living in such a small community his whole life,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28any change is a big change to Brendon
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and whether or not he can do it, I just don't know.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33It's an emotional end to the visit.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38But after a day out the whole family enjoyed, which way will they vote?
0:32:38 > 0:32:39We've had a super day at Penguin Island.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42The Morby family vote goes to...
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Australia!- Australia!- Australia!
0:32:49 > 0:32:53Yay! Yippee! We got him.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57We got him, girls! We got him! Why did you vote Australia?
0:32:57 > 0:32:58It's been great, hasn't it?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- ANGELA LAUGHS - Wow!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03That's quite a turnaround.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06After being dead set against emigrating,
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Brendon's been won over by Australia again.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12But his biggest fear has never been what the Morbys could gain
0:33:12 > 0:33:15by moving. It's always been what they'd have to leave behind.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Angela and Brendon have decided to watch
0:33:19 > 0:33:22a DVD of messages from family and friends with their daughters,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26to know exactly how they feel about the move.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Hi, guys.- Hi, guys.- Hope you're well, having a good time.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Hi, Angela, Brendon, girls! Hope you're having a fantastic time
0:33:34 > 0:33:36and really enjoying yourselves.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38She's always been one that's never,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41sort of, been happy at a certain level.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43She's always wanted a bit more out of life,
0:33:43 > 0:33:46a little bit more of this and a little bit more of that.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49She's a very special friend. She's not just any friend,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- she's a very special friend that we will miss lots.- Yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56The twins, Jane and Lucy,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59they're absolutely adorable, funny little girls.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05They're going to Australia for a better lifestyle. For the children.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Just cos Angela said so! - And Angie said so.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10THEY LAUGH
0:34:11 > 0:34:16Well, I think Brendon, he likes his work here, he enjoys his life,
0:34:16 > 0:34:20he has some good friends and I think it's a big shift for him.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- I don't want Hannah to go! - We'll miss her lots.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25They've got a big decision to make.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28They're leaving their friends, very good friends,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30they're going to leave families.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35You know, that's a hard, hard thing to do.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39But if they do go, then I'm afraid I don't know when I'll see them again.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43If they can't afford to come here, then...I don't know.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Oh, I'd miss him. I'd miss the family.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I mean, they're good fun and... He always comes round, has a few beers.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I don't think I can put into words just how much I would miss them,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57to be quite truthful.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02You know, if that is what they want, for good, then I just...
0:35:02 > 0:35:05can't imagine just how bad it's going to be.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I'm going to miss them lots.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Not to have our grandchildren around will be absolutely
0:35:15 > 0:35:18devastating to me and John.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Now I'll cry! - HER VOICE BREAKS
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Hope you enjoy yourselves, but I also hope you'll come back.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34But on the other hand,
0:35:34 > 0:35:38I really want you to make the decision which is right for you.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44That's my friends and my family.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I think they just want the best for us.
0:35:53 > 0:35:58And it's only a decision that we can make for ourselves. Our parents are
0:35:58 > 0:36:05all, you know, young enough. They've hopefully got a long time to go.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09I think we've got lots of good times together ahead with them as well.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Watching messages was a harrowing experience, especially for Brendon.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17But he's also seen real positives of what life Down Under
0:36:17 > 0:36:18could offer the family.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21And with Angela being well and truly won over,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24the Morbys' future hangs in the balance.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30As they come to the end of their trial week,
0:36:30 > 0:36:34there is still a lot to think about before the final decision.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36It is tougher than ever.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39After spending this week, after seeing what potentially
0:36:39 > 0:36:45we could have, now, it does just make things even more difficult.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I want this so badly.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53The rare occasions that we do go out together, you just can't do this.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I've compromised long enough and I think now it's my turn.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58And that may be deemed as being selfish,
0:36:58 > 0:37:02but I don't think I'm being selfish for me, it's for the children.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07The sun makes you smile. And if you smile, you're happy.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10And then if everyone's happy, then you all get along with each other.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13And then... I don't know.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I just keep saying to myself, I just need that bit more time
0:37:17 > 0:37:21but is it just an excuse just to not come up with a decision?
0:37:21 > 0:37:22You know, this is the problem.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28For Brendon, the full package is exactly what we've got.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30For me, this is the package.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I think he will just thank me so much.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37You know, five, ten years from now, if we make this move,
0:37:37 > 0:37:41I think he'll see that the world is a much bigger place than Cornwall.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47So, when it comes to the final turn of the cards,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49where does everyone see their future?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Australia!
0:38:01 > 0:38:02- TOGETHER:- Australia!
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Undecided.- Ohh! That's good!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08That's good.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12I thought you were just going to grind your heels and go UK.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15The reason I voted undecided, is cos I've seen a lot of things
0:38:15 > 0:38:20this week and my mind is still not clear, but my eyes have been opened.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Is that good?- Yeah! - All Australia for us girls.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- TOGETHER:- Australia!
0:38:26 > 0:38:27(Australia!)
0:38:29 > 0:38:32The Morbys have been on quite a journey, but it looks like there's
0:38:32 > 0:38:36still a little way to go before they reach a unanimous decision.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42At the end of an emotional week,
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Angela and Brendon were still divided.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Australia had lived up to all of Angela's hopes and dreams,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52but Brendon hadn't been completely won over
0:38:52 > 0:38:54and still had one foot in the UK.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58But has anything or anyone changed their opinion
0:38:58 > 0:39:00since they returned home? Now, the family have been
0:39:00 > 0:39:04back in Cornwall now for a few weeks, so I've come to find out.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- Hello!- Hello!- Come in.- Thank you.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11'While Brendon's on his way back from work,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14'I've got time to talk with Angela on her own.'
0:39:14 > 0:39:18So, Angela, it sounds like you all had an amazing time
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- in Australia, really eventful. - It was just amazing.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23The girls, even Brendon, everyone was just enthralled
0:39:23 > 0:39:26and we just fell in love with the place.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Were you surprised with Brendon's reaction
0:39:28 > 0:39:30during the time in Australia?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I think I was. When we were there,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Brendon just turned back into the Brendon that I met.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- Did he?- It was just so great. He was so positive about everything.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- So what happens next? - I'm going!- Are you?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45I have to. I just...
0:39:45 > 0:39:48The big picture for the girls, it's for them.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And do you think, if you give him that ultimatum,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53then he'll have to come?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57I hope so. The other option doesn't sound too promising, does it?
0:39:57 > 0:40:01'Well, Angela hasn't changed her mind about emigrating.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05'And when Brendon gets home, it's time to put him on the spot.'
0:40:05 > 0:40:06So, how do you feel, Brendon?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Because you've got four girls in this house...
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Yup. Four troublemakers, yes!
0:40:13 > 0:40:17..who are desperate now to move to Australia.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Obviously, there's a huge amount of pressure on you.- Yup.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- Where do you go next? - I don't know. I mean...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29It's like the decision is more difficult now than it was
0:40:29 > 0:40:32before, because before, I knew I wasn't going to go, and now,
0:40:32 > 0:40:34it's like, now we've seen it and tasted it...
0:40:34 > 0:40:37And you two haven't discussed it, have you, since you've been home?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40I'm too scared to ask! I don't want to hear the "no".
0:40:40 > 0:40:43So I'm just living in my little bubble.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47I know it and I think about it all the time. It's just, I still can't see...
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I just can't see how we're going to get there.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Something that we have discussed is about keeping the house here,
0:40:55 > 0:40:57renting it out for a couple of years,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01so that if it doesn't work for us, we have got bricks to come home to.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04But...I think we should sell the house.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06To me, that is my safety net.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That we have got something to come back...if we ever did.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11But then, how long would you keep the house?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Well, it would only be for a year or so, wouldn't it? It's not...
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Yeah, but in another year or so,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19how much more is the price of this house going to go down
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and how much more are the prices over there going to go up?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Could that perhaps be the compromise?
0:41:25 > 0:41:29You do keep the house so that you can rent it out
0:41:29 > 0:41:33and you've got that security back home, in case.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37And in the short term, you go on a huge saving scheme to find
0:41:37 > 0:41:40the necessary funds, perhaps, to move out there.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43You just need to...just go with it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I'm going to ask you...
0:41:45 > 0:41:48to vote one more time.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Because you were undecided.- Yeah.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Over to you, Brendon.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57If I can see the hard facts and figures
0:41:57 > 0:42:00and that we can come to some sort of compromise...
0:42:00 > 0:42:03But that's what we're saying. If you've got those facts and figures
0:42:03 > 0:42:08and it's something financially that we can achieve, what do you vote?
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I would vote Australia.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40But, you know, there is... There is part of me that really does want to do it.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Then we should just do it. Let's have an adventure, let's just do it.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48That does sound really promising.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Listen, guys, we wish you all the very best of luck
0:42:51 > 0:42:53with whatever decision you make.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Thank you. Thank you.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00Well, it's still unresolved, but it does sound like the family
0:43:00 > 0:43:04are a lot closer to making that final decision.
