0:00:02 > 0:00:05If you believed your home life was ideal,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06what would it take to persuade you
0:00:06 > 0:00:08to give it all up,
0:00:08 > 0:00:12travel halfway around the world and start again in a new country?
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Norma Jean dreams of a life down under.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20There's so much passion in me, this fire that just tells me,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24- "You have to go!"- But partner Steven can't face leaving friends,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27family or his beloved football.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29'I'm happy in my little bubble in Newcastle.'
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Norms has her work cut out to prove that Australia would be
0:00:32 > 0:00:34a smart move.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37His reluctance to leave could tear the family apart.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39I think, if I don't make the move, it's just going to cause
0:00:39 > 0:00:41a lot of problems between me and Steven.
0:00:41 > 0:00:46And hearing how relatives feel about the decision is heartbreaking.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50I spent my weekends going to my nana's and I would have liked
0:00:50 > 0:00:54that for my grandson, but it's not going to happen.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Around 35,000 Brits head to Australia every year
0:01:27 > 0:01:29in search of a new life,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34but it's not all about sun-drenched beaches and bright blue skies.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Dreams of paradise aren't always matched by reality, and pursuing
0:01:37 > 0:01:42a life down under can stretch some families to breaking point.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46This week, we'll see the Robinsons face a life-changing decision.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47The couple are torn
0:01:47 > 0:01:49between Norma Jean's dream
0:01:49 > 0:01:52to give two-year-old Harry a better life down under
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and Steven's belief their future should be in the UK.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It's a choice that will test their relationship to its very limits.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15The Robinsons may have only just touched down after
0:02:15 > 0:02:17an exhausting 10,000 mile flight,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21but, already, Norma Jean's certain Adelaide is where they should be.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27When you see the sun, the beautiful sea, it's worth it.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It'll take more than that to convince partner Steven.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33We've got so much riding on the actual trial week,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36so, hopefully, we'll get answers for all them questions.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Adelaide is the place to be.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I know already that this is the place for us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- We shall see.- We shall.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49The pressure's on for Norma Jean to persuade Steven
0:02:49 > 0:02:52a life in Adelaide's best for their young family.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54This is the life, isn't it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It could be, Norma Jean, it could be.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07The Robinson family hail from Newcastle.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Born in South Africa, Norma Jean's lived in the UK
0:03:10 > 0:03:12since she was six years old.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Partner Steven is Newcastle born and bred,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and the couple have a two-year-old son, Harry.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Despite loving life in the North East, Norma Jean's convinced
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Harry will have a better future down under, even though
0:03:25 > 0:03:28she's never actually been there.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32My dream is to go to Australia and be able to spend more time
0:03:32 > 0:03:34with my son and with Steven.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38It's got so much to offer for our family, for our lifestyles.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Steven's always been aware of Norma Jean's dream.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I've got myself to blame on this one, because it's been brewing
0:03:44 > 0:03:47since day one, but I just chose to ignore it.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I think if we don't go over, well, I'll just make your life hell.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I just cannot understand how someone can be
0:03:55 > 0:03:58so determined to move to Australia when they haven't visited,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01and she is so determined and passionate.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03'This dream means everything to me
0:04:03 > 0:04:08'and...I think that Steven needs to put his feelings aside.'
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Instead of thinking about himself, think about us as a family.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16But Steven can't see past the loss of his home life in the North East.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19'The hardest thing about moving to Australia would be
0:04:19 > 0:04:21'leaving my friends and family.'
0:04:21 > 0:04:23The day we're making the move...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25it'll be hard.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29'He's a born and bred Geordie, and Geordies love their homes
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'and they love Newcastle.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32'So...'
0:04:32 > 0:04:35can he make the move? I don't know.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I would be hard leaving my grandparents because,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40obviously, they're getting on, now.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It might be the last time that I see them,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44so that would be heartbreaking.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49And it's not just family Steven's worried about.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51In the UK, he loves his job as a gas fitter
0:04:51 > 0:04:55and he's concerned his skills won't be transferrable.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56It is quite scary that,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00if we do go to Australia, I don't have the safety net.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I'm going to have to look for a new job and to be honest,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I know I won't find a job that matches my current job.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11But Norma Jean's happy to become the main breadwinner and she's
0:05:11 > 0:05:16spent the last three years studying to be a nurse to secure a work visa.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It shouldn't be a problem for me getting a job in Australia.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21The nursing care will be exactly the same,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26so it doesn't matter if I'm in the UK, Australia - nursing is nursing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And she's had enough of Steven's indecision.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I would have a lot of regrets if I didn't go to Australia.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34It would really upset me.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39And I would definitely regret it for ever.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I don't think she realises how serious it is.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Me, I'm more logical, whereas she walks with her head in the clouds.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Norma Jean knows it's a risk, but she also sees it as the opportunity
0:05:50 > 0:05:53of a lifetime, a chance to give Harry and the family
0:05:53 > 0:05:55the best future possible.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58For me, it's an adventure and that's what life's all about,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02- it's one big adventure.- Yeah, that boat sailed a long time ago.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, it's not, because he thinks that we're 100 and we're not.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09After years of indecision,
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Norma Jean has just one week to persuade Steven to
0:06:13 > 0:06:16abandon his life in Newcastle for one down under,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18a life she passionately believes
0:06:18 > 0:06:21will offer the whole family a brighter future.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34The Robinsons are spending the week in Glenelg,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37a beachside suburb situated just 20 minutes south west
0:06:37 > 0:06:38of Adelaide city centre.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43It's the site of South Australia's original mainland settlement
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and offers plenty of shops and restaurants,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48so should be perfect for a young family.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Home for the week is this modern Australian apartment.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Ah, this is cute, isn't it?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01But, already, Norma Jean's worried about how Steven will react.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04I like the accommodation, it's really cute,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but I know for a fact that Steven won't like it,
0:07:07 > 0:07:12um, cos, generally, the rule of thumb is, whatever I like, he doesn't.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Yellow is not my colour.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I like yellow.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20So, it will be interesting to see what he says about the apartment.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The accommodation's awesome, it's excellent,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25it seems to be in a really good location.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29It looks like a decent start, but Norma Jean knows there's lots
0:07:29 > 0:07:33of work to be done if Adelaide's to become home to the whole family.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37This week in Australia is so important,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39because it's life-changing, not just for us,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41but for Harry, most importantly, so...
0:07:41 > 0:07:44and I want to give him an outdoor lifestyle.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48For me, this is perfect, absolutely perfect for any child to grow up.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Obviously, the job situation's a big issue.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53What... If we do eventually decide to move across,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57we'll have to find the perfect balance of work to life.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I know that Adelaide can offer more than what Newcastle can, so I need to
0:08:04 > 0:08:10make sure that he sees the good side and what this city has to offer.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Norms has an uphill battle to convince me that this
0:08:13 > 0:08:14is where we should raise our family.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Obviously, it's lovely having the sea, nice weather,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21but that's not the be all and end all.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25She's going to have to put a lot on the table for me to give up
0:08:25 > 0:08:28my family and friends and just everything I have back in the UK.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Back in the UK, home for the Robinsons is this
0:08:38 > 0:08:42three-bedroom, detached new build in the suburbs of Newcastle.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Steven believes it's currently worth around £150,000.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Ideally, I'd like to get 160 for it,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53but I just can't see it happening in today's market.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56But he and Norma Jean have different ideas about what their money
0:08:56 > 0:08:57could buy them in Oz.
0:08:57 > 0:09:04My dream property would be an outdoor swimming pool,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07um, I'd say four bedrooms...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think, with our current budget,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12I think we could potentially struggle...
0:09:12 > 0:09:15with trying to purchase a two, three-bedroom apartment.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Giving up our home, it'll be hard,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20but I'm looking at the bigger picture for
0:09:20 > 0:09:24what we could have in the future, so I don't expect to have
0:09:24 > 0:09:27the big dream home, but I expect to have the big dream lifestyle.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Today, we're giving the Robinsons a chance to see just
0:09:32 > 0:09:35what's on offer in Adelaide's property market.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36We've lined up three properties
0:09:36 > 0:09:39based on what they think they can afford,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42what they'd ideally like, and one in-between.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Only after they've seen each one,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46will they find out how much it's worth.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51First stop is Kurralta Park, just ten minutes
0:09:51 > 0:09:55from the centre of Adelaide and 20 minutes from Glenelg Beach.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58This apartment complex has excellent transport links to
0:09:58 > 0:10:01the city centre, with shops, good schools
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and childcare centres close to hand,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06it could be perfect for their family.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08But what will Steven make of it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Wow.- It's not great the road.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- No, not at all.- Not very family friendly.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- Wow.- Wow.- Swimming pool.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- OK.- Nice little courtyard.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27The pool, I suppose, is a nice little feature,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30but, still, I'm not feeling it, it's not for me at all.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I think if it was a little bit larger, the courtyard,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39it'd be quite nice, but...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I wouldn't be able to relax here.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The pool might be a bonus, but it's not enough to impress.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Will the flat itself lift their spirits?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Wow!
0:10:52 > 0:10:57It reminds me of a hotel, a motel like you would see in an American movie.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Mm-hm. In a horror movie.- Yeah.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Things seem to be going from bad to worse.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It's on the third floor, it's run down...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- it's dirty...this whole place, this whole complex is filthy.- Yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think Harry's settled.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25It's looking good in my favour, to be honest. UK's looking good.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26It really is.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Hmm.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34BOTH: No chance.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37It's a very disappointing start,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40falling far short of Norma Jean's dreams,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43but is it within their £155,000 budget?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- I think it'll be madness if it's anything over 150,000.- Right.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Can I have a look?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:11:53 > 0:11:55SHE GASPS
0:11:55 > 0:11:56My God!
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I just didn't expect it to be this much at all.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That's just under the couple's budget.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I'm seriously not surprised.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11I did the research into the properties and, uh,
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I was expecting this, to be honest.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- 144,000 though!- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19This is what I've been saying all along.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22You don't get much property for your money.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27That's a real blow for Norma Jean.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31With one property down, will she be able to get her dream back on track?
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Property number two is on the very outskirts of Adelaide.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42This three-bedroom, two-bathroom property is in Aldinga Beach,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45almost 50km from the city centre,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47which should help the family's budget go further.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Ooh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Wow!- Oh!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57This is lovely!
0:12:57 > 0:13:03It's new, it's clean, it's bright, it's fresh, it's...lovely.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- It's perfect, isn't it, so far?- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Things could be looking up.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15The house's modern open plan design seems to be just what
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Norma Jean had in mind.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Oh, this is so much nicer!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24We were feeling really depressed after seeing the last property,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- weren't we?- Yeah.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32Um, this is more...this is what I was expecting, it really is.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Yeah, it's a ready-made family home, isn't it?- Definitely.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- It's a lot more promising.- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Nice! A utility room as well.- Yeah.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Toys, toys, toys!
0:13:44 > 0:13:48This property seems to be ticking all the right boxes and
0:13:48 > 0:13:51outside there's a good-sized garden for Harry to play in.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Could this be a turning point for Steven?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I could definitely see myself living here.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Definitely.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01I would be happy to move in here straightaway, I mean,
0:14:01 > 0:14:05it just makes moving to Australia more appealing.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10So, the dream definitely feels like a grasp away, doesn't it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:11This bedroom...
0:14:11 > 0:14:14This house may have everything the Robinsons are looking for,
0:14:14 > 0:14:19but can they afford it on their £155,000 budget?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22I'm a little bit worried about the price now.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- I think it's going to be mega expensive.- Well, you don't know.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28It all depends how much the salaries are,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31but this is something that I think we could afford.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33After...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35seeing the price on the previous property,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I don't know if we can afford it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41The thing is, we're a good 40 minutes drive out of Adelaide, so...
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Shall we have a look?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:14:48 > 0:14:49210.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52It might be perfect for the Robinsons
0:14:52 > 0:14:53and is definitely a step above
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Steven's expectations of an apartment, but at £55,000 over
0:14:58 > 0:15:03the family's budget, the pressures on to find a well-paid job.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Was that what you were expecting?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Eh...I think it's a little bit on the expensive side.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15It's worth every penny. That was 140...well, say 150,000,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- and for 60,000 more, you could have this.- Yeah.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- I don't know if we could afford it, but, to be honest.- Mm-hm.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Norma Jean's staying positive, but the reality of
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Adelaide's property prices are hitting home for Steven.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34With so much riding on this trip,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38finding the right property for the right price is going to be key
0:15:38 > 0:15:42if Steven's ever going to buy into Norma Jean's dream.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The last leg of their house-hunting takes them to the suburb of Seaford.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The three-bedroom property is part of a new development
0:15:49 > 0:15:51less than a mile from a large shopping complex
0:15:51 > 0:15:57- and close to a childcare centre for Harry.- Wow!- Yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Very cute little house, eh? - It's a cute house.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- I don't like the fact that it's on a main road though.- Yeah.- Let's go.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- Do you want to have a look in here? - Wow.- Ahh!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15BOTH: Wow!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19- If I had a girl it would be perfect! - It would be perfect for a girl.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- But, um, for Harry, I think we'll stick to the blues.- Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25But Harry seems to have settled in nicely.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29I'm pretty sure this is wrong.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Oh, wow!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Oh, there we go! SHE LAUGHS
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- I don't...I don't like... - Steven, this isn't bad. Wow!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Wow! Have you seen this, Harry? - A nice family living area.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45This is surprisingly bigger than what I thought.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- It's very deceiving from the outside, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51This is fantastic. Wow.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Ah! Third bedroom. - Yeah.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh, we could have another baby in here!
0:17:00 > 0:17:03With plenty of room to bring up a young family,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07if the price is right, could this house bring Steven back on board?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- If we could achieve something like this...- Mm-hm.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- ..it'd be a brilliant starting off point.- Mm-hm. Definitely.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- OK, so it's not a bad-sized garden. - Barbecue, what more do you need?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Yeah. Barbecue, tables, trampoline for Harry.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Turn round, turn, turn, turn. Yay!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31With three bedrooms, outdoor space and room to expand,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34this property offers Norma Jean everything she's been
0:17:34 > 0:17:37looking for, but, to achieve all that might mean
0:17:37 > 0:17:42stretching their £155,000 budget to the limit.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- I think it's going to be worth around 190 English.- OK.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think this one will be less...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- ..by about 40,000.- Really?- Uh-huh.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Shall we see how much it is?- Yeah.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02191,000.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Yeah, that seems about right.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Definitely, which makes me feel a bit better about the properties here.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- How about you?- Still don't know where we stand, to be honest.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Obviously, if we're getting the same amount as...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17our salary in the UK,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21then I think it would be just a bit too much, too expensive, but, if
0:18:21 > 0:18:25we're getting really good salaries then it might be achievable.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29But this makes me feel a bit happier. The dream feels more realistic.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34It's been a day of highs and lows.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36The first property was within budget,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40but a dream breaker, not a dream maker.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Property number two was the ideal home for the Robinsons,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46but at a price that they just couldn't afford.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And while the final house was perfect fit,
0:18:49 > 0:18:53it could remain beyond their reach, unless they find well-paid jobs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58So, have Norma Jean and Steven seen enough to convince them
0:18:58 > 0:19:01that Adelaide might have their dream home.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Based on the houses we've seen today...
0:19:08 > 0:19:09..we are going to choose...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18..undecided.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Undecided?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Undecided.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I think there's just so many unknowns that it's hard to make
0:19:31 > 0:19:33a balanced judgment on it, you know,
0:19:33 > 0:19:39the properties over here are lovely, but, I just don't know...
0:19:39 > 0:19:42..how much we'll be able to afford.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I've gone undecided, because...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49um, I think there's more...we need to do a bit more research.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52All the questions I had, I haven't received any answers,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I've just got more questions so, eh...
0:19:56 > 0:19:57..it's quite tricky.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I feel a little bit deflated after today,
0:19:59 > 0:20:03but we'll see what the rest of the week has to offer.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08The reality of Adelaide's house prices has cast a cloud over
0:20:08 > 0:20:12even Norma Jean's day and it could mean her hopes for a new
0:20:12 > 0:20:16life for her family down under are slipping out of reach.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Finding good jobs with the right money in Australia is going to
0:20:27 > 0:20:32be key in order to afford the house and lifestyle Norma Jean dreams of.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35And with Steven unsure of what his work prospects might be,
0:20:35 > 0:20:40the pressure's on for Norma Jean to get a well-paid nursing job.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I am the main applicant going to Australia.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It's a career that I've always wanted as a young child
0:20:45 > 0:20:47and it's a career that I've got now.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Um...and I do, I love nursing, I love everything about it.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So, everything's really riding on me,
0:20:56 > 0:21:01whether or not we do go to Australia, so I need to do my research
0:21:01 > 0:21:02and be happy as well.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10In my current job I work as a gas engineer and I go out to fix
0:21:10 > 0:21:13boilers when they break down and carry out service work.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Moving to Australia would mean the couple reversing their current
0:21:18 > 0:21:22roles, with Norma Jean becoming the main breadwinner.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24She believes they'll both need to work in Australia,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28but if Steven's Aussie salary meant just breaking even after
0:21:28 > 0:21:32childcare costs, he'd prefer to look after Harry.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It would be great to be a stay-at-home dad,
0:21:34 > 0:21:37spend time with my son, that would be perfect, you know,
0:21:37 > 0:21:42that would be a dream, but if I need to go out to work, I will.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But Norma Jean's got other ideas.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49The guy struggles to clean a house, so if he thinks that I'm
0:21:49 > 0:21:54working 24/7, then to come home and clean like Cinderella, he's just...!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57It's not happening!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01I'd much prefer to look after Harry during the day,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05spend all that quality time with him at the beach or, you know,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09just chilling with him and then work the weekend when Norms is off.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11For me, that's more logical.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16Steven will have to work and he will have to bring in a wage because
0:22:16 > 0:22:20there's no way that in Australia we could just live on one wage at all.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27While Harry's looked after by a childminder, today we've arranged
0:22:27 > 0:22:30for Norma Jean to spend time at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital
0:22:30 > 0:22:35in Adelaide to get some hands-on experience of the cardiac ward.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Meanwhile, Steven sets out to meet up with
0:22:38 > 0:22:40heating and electrical engineer Darren Spragg
0:22:40 > 0:22:45who made the move to Australia himself some 30 years ago.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48As a matter of fact, I started off similar to yourself
0:22:48 > 0:22:51in the small domestic market and built myself up
0:22:51 > 0:22:53over the years to do the industrial.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Um, so, yeah, it should be...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57The domestic's just the smaller sized stuff.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59This is just a bigger version.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06And Darren has some positive news for Steven.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08If you came over with your City & Guilds,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11you would be working within a matter of weeks.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Really?- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18You'd be looking at around about the 23 to 25 an hour mark, OK?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20But you then would start to build yourself up
0:23:20 > 0:23:27and then you can get up to the 35 an hour mark as an employee.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29That's double the salary Steven was expecting.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31'To be honest, after speaking to Darren,'
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I'm a lot happier.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Basically, I was expecting to come out
0:23:35 > 0:23:37and I didn't think there would be the job
0:23:37 > 0:23:41and if there was the job, I thought the salary would be quite low.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44After speaking to Darren, obviously,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47the salary's a lot higher than I thought it would be and I'm
0:23:47 > 0:23:50starting to think that we could actually afford to live out
0:23:50 > 0:23:53here, so everything's looking up.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55That all sounds promising for Steven,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58but if Norma Jean's to become the main earner, getting
0:23:58 > 0:24:03the right job will be crucial before her family can make the move.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Confident about her job prospects down under,
0:24:05 > 0:24:10she's meeting Julie Brown from the South Australian Health Department.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13So, what are the opportunities for myself coming to Australia?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17We're not actively recruiting overseas.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Prior to the global financial crisis,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24we actually had an acute shortage of nurses
0:24:24 > 0:24:27and we were actively recruiting overseas, um,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30because of the global financial crisis we've actually found
0:24:30 > 0:24:36that we are able to meet our demand within South Australia currently.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39There would still be employment opportunities for you,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43but we haven't got the vacancies currently that we did have.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48That's not what Norma Jean was hoping to hear.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51I feel devastated
0:24:51 > 0:24:54because, obviously, they're not looking for
0:24:54 > 0:24:56any registered nurses over here.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Um, so, for that reason,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00the dream has been a little bit...well,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02the balloon's been popped.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Norma Jean's invested everything in her belief of a
0:25:05 > 0:25:08better life in Australia, but have her hopes been
0:25:08 > 0:25:12crushed by the reality of the employment market?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Based on the work day today,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16we're going to vote...
0:25:24 > 0:25:25England.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- Really?- England.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Why?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33There's no jobs.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37There's no jobs for nurses in Adelaide at the minute,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- at all.- Wow.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- England.- Well, mine was almost Australia.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I think...
0:25:46 > 0:25:51I could potentially get a better job over here that pays more...
0:25:51 > 0:25:52but...
0:25:52 > 0:25:56I've got a job at home that's for life already.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm so devastated that there aren't jobs for nurses,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00because that's my career at the end of the day,
0:26:00 > 0:26:03but it just makes me feel a little bit happier that Steven could
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- potentially get a job that earns just as much as a nurse over here.- What?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12No. It's more. Damn.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Steven's potential earning power could mean Norma Jean's dream
0:26:20 > 0:26:24stays alive, but faced with leaving close family
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and a good job in the UK,
0:26:26 > 0:26:31he's a long way from being convinced a move down under is for the best.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Could a taste of the Aussie lifestyle help bring him round?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Spending quality time outdoors as a family is
0:26:44 > 0:26:46high on the Robinsons' wish list.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Today, they're off to Victor Harbour just south of Adelaide.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55It's a chance for them to reflect on where their future may lie.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I was devastated yesterday when I was told about the nursing situation,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03but there will always be need of nursing wherever you
0:27:03 > 0:27:05go in the world and it'll have its peaks and its troughs,
0:27:05 > 0:27:10so, even though they might not want nurses now...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13..they will do in the future.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16'I think her dreams have been shattered in some respects,'
0:27:16 > 0:27:19but, I think as soon as she heard that
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I could make a fairly decent wage,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25it didn't make a difference to her who works, as long as, I think,
0:27:25 > 0:27:30ultimately that she gets here, so I think I'm snookered in that respect.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Time spent together outdoors is what the Robinson's are looking for,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and Harry certainly seems to be buying into
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Norma Jean's vision for their future.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42They're so cute!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46'I've thoroughly enjoyed today.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50'Um, the weather hasn't been 100%,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53'but it's still a lot nicer than the UK.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56'Um, obviously, it's windy, but we've got our t-shirts on,'
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Harry's got his shorts on, it's been absolutely gorgeous.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Um, the scenery, everything's stunning. It really is stunning.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The outdoor lifestyle that I want, more so for Harry,
0:28:08 > 0:28:13is I want him to be able to go kayaking and go on the boats
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and go surfing with his dad, so, for me,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20having this outdoor lifestyle would mean everything as a family.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So, the dream's definitely back on.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Steven's passionate about football and, for him,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37leaving the UK would also mean leaving behind his beloved
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Newcastle United, but sport is a massive part of Australian culture too.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Could a trip to see an Aussie rules football match with
0:28:45 > 0:28:48two like-minded sports fanatics help Steven see
0:28:48 > 0:28:51the potential in a future life down under?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Going to the match every week, you know, with the boys,
0:28:54 > 0:28:55meeting up, yeah.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I just absolutely love it, so I think the Crows
0:28:58 > 0:28:59will be my local team,
0:28:59 > 0:29:02so I'm looking forward to tonight.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03Hey, hey!
0:29:03 > 0:29:04See, it fits you OK, maybe.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Hmm? A bit snug there, Steven!
0:29:11 > 0:29:12THEY LAUGH
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Come on, the Crows!
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Ohh!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I've just been to my first game of Aussie rules,
0:29:31 > 0:29:33and it was pretty awesome.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It was very similar to the crowd back home.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Uh...
0:29:37 > 0:29:38'It seems to be a really good game.'
0:29:38 > 0:29:40I didn't know exactly what was going on,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42but I followed enough just to cheer on.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44The game's completely different,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48but the social side aspect of it is exactly the same.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Everybody's out having a good time.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Goal!
0:29:52 > 0:29:55'I would never, ever give up on my Newcastle.'
0:29:55 > 0:29:56It's part of me, you know,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59it's not something you give up and I'm a proud Geordie
0:29:59 > 0:30:03so nothing will ever, ever replace that, but, obviously,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06if we do move to Adelaide, it will be something.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11As long as I enjoy the game, it would be something that I can see...
0:30:11 > 0:30:14myself and my son doing.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17The Aussie lifestyle seems to have lived up to its reputation,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20but has it done enough to persuade Steven?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Based on today, we are going to vote...
0:30:30 > 0:30:31BOTH: Australia!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Yay!- Yay!
0:30:37 > 0:30:41A beautiful family day today. Australia all the way.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Yeah, no comparison. Eh, I love the UK.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45There's loads to do,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48but it rains a lot more out there than it does here.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I think we should sell everything and buy a place here.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53That's a complete about turn for Steven.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Norma Jean's dream could be a step closer.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07If Norma Jean's ever to make life down under a reality,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11getting the right price for their UK home will be vital.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Steven thinks their house is worth £155,000,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20and if they don't achieve this price, all plans could be on hold.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22We sent two local estate agents round to
0:31:22 > 0:31:24give their professional valuations.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Downstairs toilet - always handy for families.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Great, nice-sized family room, um, with nice oak effect flooring.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39It looks terrible, doesn't it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:40It looks cluttered.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43You've got French doors into the rear garden, which is nice,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45especially in the summer.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It would benefit, probably, from a little bit more storage.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49It would benefit from more storage.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Meaning all that stuff needs to be out the way.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Yes, but we don't have storage in the house.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56A little bit of clutter here. We could easily make a breakfast area.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Um, there is storage.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00There's a bit of a cupboard, which is always handy, to be honest.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's quite useful, but,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04generally, not a bad little kitchen, to be honest. Quite pleasant.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10And, yes, I've got a garden to the rear.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It is laid with, um, decking
0:32:12 > 0:32:16and then partially lawned which is perfect for outside entertaining.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Um, it is a south facing garden.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22It is slightly overlooked, but still, all in all, it's quite a large, decent-sized plot.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- So, the master bedroom
0:32:26 > 0:32:29has the benefit of the shower room, which, to be honest,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32is a real benefit for a family buyer.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- And this is bedroom three. It's currently being used as a single...
0:32:37 > 0:32:38- Oh, Steven!- What, "Steven"?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40How could you leave all of your washing there?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Um, it could benefit from some storage and possibly decluttered,
0:32:44 > 0:32:48but other than that, it's still a good-sized bedroom.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51And this is the family bathroom.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54It has got a white three-piece bathroom suite in.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58It's partially tiled and it's a nice...it's a good size.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- OK, three good-sized bedrooms, two doubles, one single.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04The master has an en suite shower room and obviously
0:33:04 > 0:33:05the family bathroom.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Yeah, good-sized accommodation.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Currently, I'd recommend an asking price of 140 to 150,000.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14For a quick sale, 130 to 140.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- This is a really nice three bedroom detached family home.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20If I was putting this property on the market,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I'd put it on the market at a price of
0:33:22 > 0:33:23£155,000.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Alternatively, if the sellers were looking for a quick sale,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I would suggest they put it on the market at offers over
0:33:30 > 0:33:33£145,000.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36If I was to sell it, we need to sell it for 160.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Anything less than that won't work.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I agree with everything that you've said.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44Good!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- I agree.- For a change, for a change.- I agree.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49SHE SIGHS
0:33:49 > 0:33:52With their home valued close to Steven's estimate,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55the family's finances down under will be key
0:33:55 > 0:33:57if they're to make the move.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00We've prepared a comparison of expenses to help them work
0:34:00 > 0:34:04out the difference between the cost of living in Adelaide and the UK.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- First up is the weekly food shop. - Wow! Bananas are so expensive.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10What?!
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Blueberries...! No more blueberries for Harry, I can tell you that.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- How much is that?- £6.76. - SHE GASPS
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Six Australian dollars.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- That is so... - No, it's pounds.- Oh, is it?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22SHE GASPS No way!
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Oh, no! - SHE LAUGHS
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Pizzas are so expensive!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31No more pizzas for Daddy!
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Oh, no way! That's...shocking.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38So, everything overall is a little bit more expensive, isn't it?
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Yeah.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Let me do some calculations.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48(£2.50.)
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- It's neither here nor there, is it, really?- No.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55So, it's going to be an extra £100 a month,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59which is what I was expecting, so no major dramas.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Yeah, that's what we were definitely expecting.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05That might not have a drastic effect on the purse strings,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08but when it comes to the other costs of living down under,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Steven knows the valuation of their UK property
0:35:11 > 0:35:14is essential to make the figures add up.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19The major hurdle has always been the house. Obviously, I'm tied into it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Renting's not an option,
0:35:20 > 0:35:24because I don't want to leave it to family and friends to organise.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29Basically, we've got to sell up and end all our affairs in the UK
0:35:29 > 0:35:32before we start even thinking about coming over here.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Basing their calculations on the dream property they saw,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Norma Jean and Steven's monthly mortgage payments would be
0:35:38 > 0:35:41almost double what they currently pay in the UK,
0:35:41 > 0:35:45but with the potential of a healthy boost in income on the horizon,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48could they actually end up better off down under?
0:35:48 > 0:35:53So, that's my potentially starting salary, 42,500,
0:35:53 > 0:35:57- I guess that's a good starting point.- Definitely.- Cool.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01If Norma Jean did get a nursing job, and it's a big if,
0:36:01 > 0:36:06she would have a starting salary of 54,000 Australian dollars.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07So, where does that leave them?
0:36:07 > 0:36:13So, basically, in the UK we end up with £299 spare each month,
0:36:13 > 0:36:20- whereas, over here we're going to have £1,953 spare each month.- Wow.
0:36:20 > 0:36:27So, basically, we're £19,848 better off per year.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Disposable income, that's amazing.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- So, it's a pretty no-brainer on that side.- Definitely.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35That's a great result,
0:36:35 > 0:36:39but it relies on both Steven and Norma Jean being employed.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41So, when it comes to the finances,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44will the vote be for the UK or Australia?
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Based on the figures today, we are going to choose...
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Australia!- Australia!
0:36:58 > 0:37:02The quality of life that we'll be able to offer Harry...
0:37:02 > 0:37:04compared to the UK...
0:37:05 > 0:37:07..will be so much more...so much better.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Um...so that's why I voted Australia.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13It's a no-brainer.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Definitely.- Obviously...
0:37:15 > 0:37:19the earning potential over here is unreal.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22The sooner we get out there,
0:37:22 > 0:37:26the sooner we start making the money and, you know, it's just superb.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Seeing the figures in black and white
0:37:36 > 0:37:39has prompted another turnaround from Steven,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43but there's one more obstacle left to overcome, and for Steven,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46who's devoted to his friends and family back home,
0:37:46 > 0:37:49it's perhaps the toughest of all.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52While Harry's looked after by a childminder, the couple sit down
0:37:52 > 0:37:56to hear how those back home are feeling about their potential move.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Hi, Steven, Aubergine and Harry! Hello! How you doing?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04The same from me, your grandad.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Hello, Harry, Norma Jean, Steven.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Hi!- Hi, guys!
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Steven is really friendly.- Funny. - Funny, friendly...he'll help anyone.
0:38:15 > 0:38:21Steven's turned out to be a really, really good dad. From being the young
0:38:21 > 0:38:25single lad, almost, to being this absolutely devoted...
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I could get quite upset,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29a really devoted dad.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33He really surprised me, didn't he? And he made us so proud.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I think Norma Jean is a very considerate person
0:38:35 > 0:38:38and she's very hard-working, she's very dedicated,
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- she's a lovely girl, really. - And she really loves Harry.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44She likes to spend every minute she can with him.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49Harry is our first grandchild. He's absolutely adorable.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Harry is just a gem. He's beautiful.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54He's lovely. We love him to bits.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58I spent my weekends every week going to me nana's.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01And I would have liked that for my grandson, but,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05it's not going to happen and I don't want that...
0:39:05 > 0:39:11Really, I want them to be happy as a little family unit in Australia.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13If yous decide to go, we just want to say that obviously
0:39:13 > 0:39:16we'll miss yous, but on the other hand, it'll be great
0:39:16 > 0:39:20because we can go over there on holiday and come over and stay!
0:39:21 > 0:39:25We'll just back you up, we'll help you, we'll support you,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28we love you all and it's your decision.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31We just want everything good for you three,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35so you make your decision and we'll be happy with that.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Love you.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I think you should go forth.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42We will miss you, but I think it's a good move for you,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44so I think you should do it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47The three of you, good luck to you
0:39:47 > 0:39:52and I hope everything turns out the way I would like it to go.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Bye.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07The concern I had was my grandparents.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11I can see our parents coming out here, that's not a problem.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- It's just the grandparents.- You know, this is the hardest thing...
0:40:16 > 0:40:21..and when we came to England from South Africa...
0:40:23 > 0:40:25..this is what we had to deal with,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28but my parents gave me a better quality of life
0:40:28 > 0:40:31by going to the UK, and I honestly believe that we
0:40:31 > 0:40:34can give Harry a better quality of life by coming to Australia.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38I've got lots of close family, lots of friends,
0:40:38 > 0:40:40so, it will be hard, but...
0:40:41 > 0:40:44..I've got to think of Mr Man...Harry.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Hearing from family and friends is a heartbreaking reminder of what
0:40:56 > 0:40:58they would be leaving behind,
0:40:58 > 0:41:02but having now seen what they stand to gain and lose,
0:41:02 > 0:41:06does Norma Jean believe her family's future still lies down under?
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Australia means everything to me now, especially now that I've been here.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16It was a dream, if you like, beforehand,
0:41:16 > 0:41:19but now it can be a reality.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23My head's telling us that it's a no-brainer, that we should be
0:41:23 > 0:41:28out here as soon as possible, but obviously, if I follow my heart...
0:41:28 > 0:41:31it would be really hard to leave the family behind.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35It's not a decision that you can make lightly when it comes to emigrating,
0:41:35 > 0:41:40leaving your friends, your family, your work, your home...
0:41:40 > 0:41:45cos we're doing this on our own and its a huge decision, um...
0:41:45 > 0:41:50and it is something that we need to discuss in detail, but...
0:41:50 > 0:41:52we have got all the information,
0:41:52 > 0:41:56we have been given everything that we need to know.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57I know that my mind's made up
0:41:57 > 0:42:01and I just hope that Steven can come to the same decision as me.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03With the final turn of the cards,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06will the Robinsons decide on a new start for the family?
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Based on our week in Australia, we have decided to vote for...
0:42:18 > 0:42:20BOTH: Australia!
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Daddy loves you!
0:42:25 > 0:42:28I've chosen Australia because I believe it's the best
0:42:28 > 0:42:31choice for our family and especially for Harry.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33I think that he'll flourish in Australia.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I've basically chosen Australia for
0:42:35 > 0:42:37the exact same reasons.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40I think it's the best thing for Harry and for us as a family.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45I think it's been proved that we can come out and make a decent
0:42:45 > 0:42:50living and have a great lifestyle, so I'm definitely on board now.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I'm really looking forward to the future to be honest.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11The Robinsons have been through a life-changing week
0:43:11 > 0:43:16and Norma Jean has finally succeeded in convincing Steven to make
0:43:16 > 0:43:19a new life for the family down under.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21We wish them the very best of luck.
