0:00:02 > 0:00:06How far would you go to achieve a dream lifestyle on the other
0:00:06 > 0:00:10side of the world? Especially if it meant dividing your family in two?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Paul and Sheri Wintrip are desperate for a better life.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Not working 70 hours a week. It's not about the materialism.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20It's about us actually having time to still be a family.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23But there's a problem. One son definitely isn't coming
0:00:23 > 0:00:25and the other can't face leaving his girlfriend.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29I would say she is the one. She is really special.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32And as the reality of saying goodbye to loved ones hits home,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35the family come close to breaking point.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I just couldn't imagine them not been around.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Australia is an incredible 30 times bigger than the UK,
0:01:12 > 0:01:14but with less than a third of the population.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And thanks to increased work opportunities
0:01:17 > 0:01:21and a renowned outdoor lifestyle, it's been the number one destination
0:01:21 > 0:01:24for British people looking to emigrate for over 25 years.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Paul and Sheri Wintrip have long dreamed of moving to Australia.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Now, they have just one week to see if the country can offer them
0:01:34 > 0:01:38the lifestyle they're after and persuade son Ryan to join them.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41When it's over, they'll have to decide whether to keep their
0:01:41 > 0:01:46family united in the UK or start a new life Down Under.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52After 9,000 miles and over 19 hours travelling the globe,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54the Wintrips touch down in Perth.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Their eldest son, Luke, has chosen to remain in the UK.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So the long flight has given Sheri plenty of time to contemplate
0:02:01 > 0:02:05what happens if the country fails to impress second son Ryan.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09If we have to split the family further, it's going to have a really emotional pull.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So it is really crunch time for us.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I've got a good life in the UK. I've got a girlfriend living there.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So it's going to be a big decision for me to make.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Dad Paul is feeling the pressure too.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Because it's my idea, I seem to be the most terrified. There is a lot riding on my shoulders.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29If it all goes right, it will be Sheri's idea anyway! So, yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31There is a lot riding on this week.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36In the UK, the Wintrips live in Braintree, Essex.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39They are dad Paul, Mum Sheri, 21-year-old Ryan,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41and 18-year-old Grace.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45A tight-knit family, the couple's oldest son, Luke, also lives nearby.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49When our first child left home, a lot of our friends were going, "Hooray! Two to go!"
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And I was crying for three months.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I walked into a car door and I had to have stitches because I was crying so much!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57We are a very close-knit family.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02We are always either going around there or going out together and doing things.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's hard because we are always working
0:03:04 > 0:03:06but when we get time together, it's brilliant.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Paul is an electrical engineer and Sheri owns a beauty salon.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14The couple have worked hard to support their family
0:03:14 > 0:03:17but are now exhausted by the long hours.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Not working 70 hours a week would seal the deal.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It's not about the materialism.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26It's about us having time to still be a family.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28To eat a meal once a week as a family.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I just can't see myself keep the pace up
0:03:31 > 0:03:35for another 20 or 25 years in the UK.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Daughter Grace agrees with her parents.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43They are constantly full speed ahead and when they do stop,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47it is literally just crash because they work so much, it's ridiculous.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And after all that work and bringing up three children,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Paul and Sheri are ready for a new adventure.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Moving to Australia has probably been in the back of my mind for a good 10 years, I suppose.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01The way I tend to describe it to myself is,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I feel like I've been wearing slippers to 20 years
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and I just want to put some stilettos on now and have a bit of a wobble.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10So keen are they to get going, four years ago the family
0:04:10 > 0:04:13applied for a permanent residency visa for Australia.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16But in the time it has taken to process, oldest son Luke
0:04:16 > 0:04:19has decided to stay in the UK with his wife, Abby,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22and that is causing heartache throughout the family.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Leaving my eldest son behind
0:04:24 > 0:04:28is probably the most stressful bit about the whole thing.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32You will find it quite difficult to be away from your dad because you and your dad are really close.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes. I will find it difficult.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Knowing that Luke would love to come with us,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40even though he's married, he would love his wife to come with us.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45But obviously, she has got her family as well.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48It just makes it a lot more complicated.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It is not a win-win situation.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53On top of that, because second son Ryan is financially independent,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56the family visa no longer covers him.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And his relationship with girlfriend Amy is a further hurdle.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Leaving my girlfriend behind...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06..would be upsetting.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I love him. I don't want him to go. But that's for selfish reasons.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15I want him to be happy so therefore I want the best for him.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17The thought of Ryan staying
0:05:17 > 0:05:20is throwing the whole family into turmoil.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23If I wasn't to make the decision of going to Australia,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26I still would want my parents to go.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29But I'm not sure if they would or not.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31If he decided he didn't want to come,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34it would make it a whole different ball game.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I don't know. I'm just really close to him.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42I am really close to my brothers.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48But recently, because we have all grown up, I don't know,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I couldn't imagine them not being around.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Don't make me cry.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It's an emotionally charged situation and with time running out
0:06:12 > 0:06:16on the visa, the dream of moving is beginning to rip the family apart.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21I'd feel guilty if they stayed and they didn't go for it
0:06:21 > 0:06:23and go for their dreams.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But at the same time, it is going to be very hard to begin with.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It drags you down.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The whole reason of getting out of the UK was to have a slightly less stressful life
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and for the last three years at least,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36it's probably been more stressful.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39With your life in limbo.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42And it's so far. It's not like it's just across to France.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46A couple of hours on a ferry. It is, you know, two days to get to us.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That makes it even harder.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Everything now rests on the next few days as the family
0:07:00 > 0:07:03desperately hope they can persuade Ryan to join them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Home for their trial week is this three-bedroom house in Safety Bay,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11a beachside suburb just over 30 miles from the city of Perth.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13But what will the Wintrips make of it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Let's see what we've let ourselves in for.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Do you reckon this is the main lounge?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I don't know. Who knows? It's difficult to tell, isn't it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Paul doesn't seem too excited and the kitchen isn't wowing Sheri either.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I was just thinking how many takeaways we would be having!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35It's a bit like a caravan kitchenette, isn't it!?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Oh, dear. Will the rest of the house be any better?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- It's a bit rundown, isn't it? - It's a little bit dated.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I've stayed in worse places!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47But Grace isn't as easygoing.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Is that supposed to be the shower? Have you seen how tall it is?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You'll have to sit down!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57And the shower is not the only thing not measuring up.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's disgusting.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Why is it there? It's just weird.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06My favourite bit would be the front door, to get out of here!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12It's good-natured banter but could Ryan's response be a sign of what's to come?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I would still like to find out more and I'm hoping this experience
0:08:16 > 0:08:21will make me a bit more wiser about the decision I want to make.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And as the family make themselves at home 9,000 miles from Essex,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27the reality of their situation begins to sink in.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I know Sheri puts a brave face on it
0:08:30 > 0:08:33but I know she's breaking inside a little bit.
0:08:33 > 0:08:3780% of me wants to embrace this opportunity, but 20% of me is petrified
0:08:37 > 0:08:41because I feel the responsibility of getting it right for everybody.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I am probably more nervous and scared than anything else.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47If we can't get serious issues that we've got in our heads
0:08:47 > 0:08:51cleared up in this week and get some solid answers,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I think it would leave it all in tatters.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Back in the UK, home for the Wintrips
0:09:05 > 0:09:08is this four-bedroom detached house in Braintree, Essex.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Years and years ago when we were very young parents,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15we aspired to move to a house like this. This was our driving force.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19They think it's worth around £385,000.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22One of the hardest things, besides leaving my children,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24would be leaving this house.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28So what kind of property in Australia could make giving this one up easier?
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Standard, open plan, four bedrooms.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- We want four bedrooms for when people come to stay, hopefully.- Modern.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41We don't want a tiny little plot. We want a reasonable sized plot.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44And a swimming pool is always going to be nice, isn't it?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49The Wintrips' property budget is around £500,000.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Today, we will show them three houses
0:09:52 > 0:09:54based on what they think they can afford,
0:09:54 > 0:09:56what they would ideally like and one in between.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Only after they have seen each one will they find out its value.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09The first house is in Secret Harbour, 40 miles south of Perth.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It's an established neighbourhood close to beaches
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and shops, which should keep Sheri happy.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17But will the house offer the modern living they are all after?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21A nice big hall, isn't it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- What is this?- Wow!- That is what you're talking about, isn't it?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- I like this.- It's nice. A seat each.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31This works. Very nice. Tastefully done.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34A cinema room. Every home should have one!
0:10:34 > 0:10:39It wasn't really on my wish list but, yes, I would take it if it was there!
0:10:41 > 0:10:45The first house has got off to a cracking start and with five
0:10:45 > 0:10:49bedrooms, this property should have the space the family need.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- A nice little area, isn't it? - Grandchildren's room?!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Not just yet.- Don't even go there! Oh, right, here's Ryan's room!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I personally wouldn't change anything about this room.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Whatever makes you happy, Ryan.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I think that's a brilliant view out there.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11- You are not overlooked, but, yes. - It's not awful.- It could be worse.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14That's the spirit, Paul. But how is the rest of the house looking?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It's very modern and low-maintenance, isn't it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Yes. This works.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24My favourite part. The wine rack!
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Is it safe to assume Sheri could be happy in this kitchen?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's a good size. It's open plan. Plenty of surface area for working.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And I could move straight into this.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Knowing Sheri is content should make Paul's life easier too.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Lovely!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I am definitely liking this.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Wow! Look! His and hers.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48This could be the guest room!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51More like hers and hers! I'll get the corner down there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53I think it's fair to say this place is a hit.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56First impressions, I'm really, really happy.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Especially at the contrast to where we're staying.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02But is the best still to come?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- That's just fantastic.- An outdoor pool.- And a barbecue.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's fantastic.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Ryan's just spotted the house's very own pool.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13But is it all too good to be true?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15- What is it holding back?- Yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20How big is the neighbour's dog?! I find this wall a bit off-putting. It looks a bit like a prison.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24It does make the property feel a little bit hemmed in.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's taken the shine off things,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28but could the price make a difference?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Is it within their £500,000 budget?
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What do you think?- I really like it. It's just that wall, for me.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- I'm not sure whether I could live with that.- I'll say 600,000.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I will go middle of the road then and say 550.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- 527.- You are the closest.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52But Sheri has misread the price and comes back to earth with a bump.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- It's quite expensive, isn't it?- Yes.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I would have only put about 550,000.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I read the wrong sign.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03No. It's quite a shock, actually.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08£27,000 over budget and walled in like a prison.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Let's hope property two is more of a success.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Situated in Baldivis, this five-bedroom house
0:13:15 > 0:13:18comes with an acre of land in an area close to shops and schools.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's slightly closer to Perth and further from the beach.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23But will it offer more value for money?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25It's a massive property.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29I don't know whether we would have chosen to look at something with so much bushland around it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It doesn't look very low-maintenance, does it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36But before they head inside, something catches Paul's attention.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I've just seen a skull in that tree. That's not right. Who would do that?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Is Paul already having doubts about this property?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Straight into the master bedroom, look.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- It seems a bit more modern than I thought it would be.- Yes.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I'm surprised. I was expecting it to look a little bit rustic.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57This house is definitely more rural than the last one
0:13:57 > 0:14:00and comes with a soundtrack to prove it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02That is Australian living.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- What is that?- Birds, is it? It does sound like monkeys though.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It sounds like monkeys, doesn't it?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10And Sheri has spotted her route to the good life.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13We've got chickens. I wouldn't mind that.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- You're on your own there.- I know. - Definitely on your own there.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19OK. Forget the chickens.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Is there anything here that would excite Paul?
0:14:21 > 0:14:26I don't know. It seems a bit tacky, to be honest with you. I don't like it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Maybe not. But Sheri is determined to win him over.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32There is plenty of living space so if we did have friends
0:14:32 > 0:14:34and family and grandchildren come over,
0:14:34 > 0:14:38there is plenty of room for them not to be in each other's way.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41We've got no grandchildren. It ain't happening!
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I'm actually a bit fearful it's a little bit too big, this one.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I thought I'd never say that about a house but it's massive.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Although Grace thinks the opposite when she checks out her potential bedroom.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Compared to the rest of the house, it does seem quite small.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59There isn't much storage actually in the room. I just don't like it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I can just imagine a snake coming out or something.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07They do come with the territory, but hopefully there won't be any reptiles in the pool.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10This could definitely work for us. I do like it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'd be a bit worried about some wildlife issues
0:15:13 > 0:15:16but that's something us Brits would have to get used to anyway.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And Sheri is not giving up on those chickens.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I would love a small coop like this.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Fresh eggs in the morning.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27I know. We are very different like that, aren't we?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29A decent bit of chicken on the barbecue at night!
0:15:29 > 0:15:33This property is dividing opinion but will it be within their £500,000 budget?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37It's grown on me. When I first approached the property,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I didn't really hold out much hope of me liking it at all.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42I think it's too big.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45You don't want to be coming home and doing cleaning all the time, do you?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49You come to Australia so you can have more of a relaxing sort of life.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Imagine how stressed you'll be then with all the cleaning.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55A house half this size and you are crazy!
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Ryan and Grace are taking their dad's side but will seeing
0:15:58 > 0:16:02what this house costs be enough to change everyone's minds?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Go on, then, Grace. See how much this one is worth.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09£600,000.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's definitely not worth that amount of money.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Unless those chickens can lay golden eggs!
0:16:14 > 0:16:16No way.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Even more expensive than the first property, the Wintrips
0:16:20 > 0:16:24are beginning to appreciate just how dear housing in Perth really is.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Can the final one help keep the dream alive?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33This four-bedroom property is situated near the centre
0:16:33 > 0:16:36of Mandurah, a small city that's cheaper than Perth
0:16:36 > 0:16:39but still offers shops and nightlife.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42So it could help Ryan see the potential of life Down Under.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- This one is really nice, isn't it? - Nice location.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51This is nice. Big entrance again.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I like that. That's pretty unusual.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Wow!- I didn't even notice that. I noticed the fans!
0:16:58 > 0:17:02Sheri is blown away, but Paul is seeing pound signs.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03I think she might be disappointed.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08I reckon this is going to be very expensive, this house.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Dad. We need this one. It just seems perfect.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19We might actually get you to wash up!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22That would actually make me wash up, I think!
0:17:22 > 0:17:26It's a bit special, isn't it? A bit unique. You wouldn't find this in Essex!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29But if this house costs what Paul thinks,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32could they afford the lifestyle it's been designed for?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We'll just have to make friends with the rich neighbours!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Borrow the boat! - Can we borrow your boat?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43That family from Essex that's moved in. They'd love that, wouldn't they?!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Go on, Paul. Admit it. You love it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47It would be amazing looking out there every day.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Probably every morning just before I go to work for 18 hours to pay for it!
0:17:51 > 0:17:57This house definitely has the modern spacious interiors the family were hoping for
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and could enhance the outdoor living Sheri wants.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- So you've got the hot tub and the small pool.- Yes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06There you go. Instead of either or. A jet ski!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We hadn't thought of that, had we, Ryan?
0:18:08 > 0:18:13Definitely for the time in our lives at the moment, this would tick a lot of boxes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Our leisure time with the waterways and the outdoor living,
0:18:16 > 0:18:18with low-maintenance.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I definitely do like it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Something else that might please is the local wildlife.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Really? Dolphins!
0:18:31 > 0:18:34You're kicking my arse! Stop it!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He's getting cross now.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Paul is erring on the side of caution
0:18:41 > 0:18:44but Ryan is just as carried away as his mum.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If my mum and dad were to purchase a property like this,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I would definitely move out to Australia!
0:18:52 > 0:18:56See, now I'm happy. We've just got to work on Luke.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59With so much riding on this house,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02it's time to put everyone out of their misery.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Exactly how much would it cost?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Let's see how much it is.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I don't want to.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14There are so many zeros. I'm trying to work it out in my head.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- It's one million, dad. - 1 million.- £684,000.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- What sort of mortgage would we have to have for that one?- Massive.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Despite a healthy £500,000 budget,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29the dream house might not be achievable.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32The first house the Wintrips viewed had modern interiors
0:19:32 > 0:19:36but an imposing wall left the family feeling hemmed in.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Property two was a bit rural and at £600,000,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Paul found it poor value for money.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Finally, the family fell for a million-dollar house
0:19:45 > 0:19:47but Paul and Sheri would need great-paying jobs
0:19:47 > 0:19:50if they were to make it their home.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51So based on what they have learnt,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55will the Wintrips choose property in the UK or Australia?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58Based on our experience of Australian property, our vote goes to...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11ALL: Australia!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13We're all Australia.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I'm only really concerned about the last property we viewed.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20The million-dollar house.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22That's just going to push us too far.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24The other ones are fine.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I could see us as a family enjoying life in a house over here.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35The Wintrips have seen some stunning properties
0:20:35 > 0:20:39but Paul will need a stunning salary if they're to make one their home,
0:20:39 > 0:20:43so the pressure's on for him to get a positive result on the job front.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Back in the UK, Paul is an electro-mechanical engineer
0:20:47 > 0:20:49in the bakery and catering sector.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53He enjoys the job and finding something similar is essential.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57'Since I was 14, I've never been out of work. I've always been working.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00'I wouldn't want to make myself jobless.'
0:21:00 > 0:21:03That's just a crazy, crazy prospect.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And if barber Ryan does decide to move, he'll initially travel
0:21:06 > 0:21:10on a working holiday visa but the big issue will be what happens next.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The 12-month holiday visa basically gives me
0:21:13 > 0:21:1612 months to find a job in which I can get sponsored.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21So doing that might be harder than I would have thought, really.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Sheri's praying things will work out for Ryan.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27If it's his life choice, for whatever reason he wants to stay here,
0:21:27 > 0:21:32relationship, employment, his brother, family and friends.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36But if he wants to go and it's not viable for him,
0:21:36 > 0:21:39that's going to be even harder for us, I think.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44We've arranged for Paul and Ryan to explore the job market in Perth.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Paul has a meeting at a family-run business
0:21:46 > 0:21:49specialising in catering equipment
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and the owner's son, Gavin, is happy to show him around.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55What sort of area? The whole of Western Australia we cover.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- The whole of Western Australia?- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We might get a phone call right now -
0:22:00 > 0:22:04a mine site have a broken oven and they'll expect us on a plane.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Yeah, we'll get on a plane.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12The area you're talking about is probably, well,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- the size of four UKs.- Yeah.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I only do, probably, quarter of the UK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21It is a large, large area to cover.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The scale of operations may be bigger but is the equipment
0:22:24 > 0:22:26familiar territory for Paul?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Do you see those in the UK? - Yeah, yeah.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Absolutely, yeah.- It is new to the market. Probably six months old.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37It is so similar to the ones I work with.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38That's one less thing to worry about.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Across town, Ryan is visiting an all-male grooming salon.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We've got the lounge, they can relax, they can read the paper.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52But Ryan's not here to relax, as proprietor Lester
0:22:52 > 0:22:55has lined up a client to see if he can make the cut.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Back at the factory, Gavin explains to Paul that all electrical engineers
0:23:06 > 0:23:09need an A class licence before they can work in Australia.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11You need to be licensed here.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Could you work on a restricted licence
0:23:14 > 0:23:18for yourselves until you actually got the A class?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I would suggest you do it before you come rather than getting here.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26We obviously couldn't employ someone that isn't licensed.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Bad news for Paul.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Getting the licence can be a lengthy process
0:23:31 > 0:23:33and without it, his prospects don't look good.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Over at the salon, has Ryan done enough to impress?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Ryan knows what he's doing.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I wish him the best of luck and I'll see him back here for a beer.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43With a happy customer, Ryan gets down to the business
0:23:43 > 0:23:45of securing work as a barber.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47He wants to pursue a sponsored visa
0:23:47 > 0:23:50but that will be easier said than done?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Have I got a good chance of getting sponsored in Australia?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Well, having looked, you've got a good resume,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00you are presentable and you've obviously got six years' experience.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04We've seen you do a haircut so I think there is a very good chance you will be sponsored.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05If he does find a sponsor,
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Ryan can expect to earn the market rate of about £22,000.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11But are there jobs?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Is there a lot of work available in Perth?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Being a transient industry, people are coming and going
0:24:16 > 0:24:19so there's always jobs opening up. There is a real shortage too.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Again, it is good news.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Meanwhile, Paul is finding out if moving here would give him
0:24:24 > 0:24:26the work-life balance he's desperate to secure.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Do the guys ever have to work shift patterns?- No.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32We work a five-day week,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38which is 7.30am to four o'clock is our normal working week.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41There's also overtime on that, being a breakdown business.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Beats 60-plus hours a week in the UK.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45But is the money as good?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49What sort of salary is it for a service technician in WA?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We work on an hourly rate.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55The service technician would average about 85,000 dollars a year.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59That's fantastic. That's quite a bit more than I'm on now.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Is that right? - Yes. Quite a bit more.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Potentially earning around £10,000 for less hours in Perth
0:25:05 > 0:25:09is brilliant news. But Paul still has concerns.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Still have quite a way to go.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Obviously, you still need an electrical licence
0:25:15 > 0:25:17which can take some time to get.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22But I feel quite confident when I do get it I can get a good-paying job.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26For the dream move to happen, it's vital Ryan feels the same way.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Has it been a good day all round for the men at work?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Based on our work experience, we're voting for...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44BOTH: Australia.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48I was a bit worried about working in Australia,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51thinking it might be really different to the UK
0:25:51 > 0:25:55but from what I've seen today, it's no different at all.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The prospects of earning a lot more money's there
0:25:58 > 0:26:01and the fact I can come over on a holiday visa is good
0:26:01 > 0:26:05because I can work somewhere for six months, see if I can fit in,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07see if I can get on well with them and take it from there.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I think we've cleaned up, mate. - Yes. I think we've done well.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- We'll ditch the girls and move to Australia!- We're sorted, yes!
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Ryan's vote for work in Australia has given Sheri's hopes
0:26:24 > 0:26:27of keeping the four of them together a massive boost.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30But will the Aussie lifestyle they've been dreaming of
0:26:30 > 0:26:32live up to their expectations?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37In the UK, the family have precious little time together.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40We make the most of the time we do have as a family, quality time.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44But there isn't normally a lot of it
0:26:44 > 0:26:48because if my mum's not working, my dad is.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Today, they're trying out a popular Perth pastime -
0:26:51 > 0:26:53kayaking on the Swan River.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It's put them out of their comfort zone and given them time
0:27:05 > 0:27:08to reflect on the lifestyle they could have.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10All the activities you do in the UK are always indoors
0:27:10 > 0:27:12so it's nice to be in the outdoors.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15There's no-one else out here, which is nice
0:27:15 > 0:27:19and a little bit worrying at the same time, actually.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22It's a leisure balance that the Australian have.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Why's no-one else out on the water?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Ever the cynic, Paul.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Perhaps a barbecue in the park would be enough to put you at ease.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35This wouldn't happen in the UK, would it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37All four of us cooking together.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43It doesn't get much better than this for me.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's my idea of heaven, this.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Family around me, eating food together.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56But as they tuck into food, thoughts turn to home
0:27:56 > 0:27:58and the loved ones left behind.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- It would be nice if Luke was here, though.- That's true.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- You missing him?- Yes. Weirdly.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- Now we're been here a few days, it starts to kick in.- It is just weird.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14All the family stuff we've been doing and he is not here.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18It is gutting that we can't have everyone here, like our family.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23The whole family and also I wouldn't be able to be out here with my friends I've known for a long time.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I would have to start from scratch again and meet new friends.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29That's the thing.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It is really nice but I'd rather be doing this with the people at home.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36It's a sobering thought and for Sheri in particular it raises
0:28:36 > 0:28:38the fear she has been avoiding,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41leaving eldest son Luke behind the UK.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43If we come and if Luke followed in a few years,
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- would you be happier, do you think?- Yes.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48So it's not just your friends, it is leaving your brother?
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Oh, yes, obviously. We're a close family, aren't we?
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Difficult just leaving, potentially, both my brothers
0:28:56 > 0:28:57if Ryan didn't come.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Both of them.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Every now and then I get a little wave of emotion about
0:29:05 > 0:29:09whether or not I could cope with feeling like this if we did move.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11How long would it last for?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13I know when he left home the first time
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I cried solidly for three months.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- I'd probably be the worst one out of both of us, to be fair.- Really?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Yes.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22He's your drinking buddy, isn't he?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Yes. Both the boys are like best friends.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Today has given the family quality time together
0:29:28 > 0:29:30as well as an awful lot of time to think.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36You OK?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- You all right? - Yeah, I'll be fine in a minute.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- We're going to see him on your birthday.- Yeah, I know.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Just avoided the question all week, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00The lifestyle in Australia is far, far better.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06It's just whether everyone can deal with the emotional effects
0:30:06 > 0:30:08of making that move.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14It might turn out that this dream of living in Australia, working
0:30:14 > 0:30:17in Australia may not ever happen
0:30:17 > 0:30:23just purely because we all can't handle leaving loved ones behind.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26With so much to think about, will the family ultimately choose
0:30:26 > 0:30:29the lifestyle in Australia or the UK?
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Based on the lifestyle here today in Perth, we are voting for...
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Australia.- Undecided.- Australia.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Why are you undecided, babe?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Although the lifestyle's great, outdoors and everything,
0:30:52 > 0:30:56whether I'd enjoy it as much without everyone here.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01I'd definitely have to consider my final decision
0:31:01 > 0:31:04but at the moment I'm sticking with Australia.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06It will be a massive, massive change
0:31:08 > 0:31:10from what we're used to in the UK
0:31:10 > 0:31:14and a change for the better, I would have thought.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16The barbecuing was fun.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I could see us doing it again.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20It was tinged with sadness
0:31:20 > 0:31:23but I think that's just a case of,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27I could see me enjoying my life here with this lifestyle
0:31:27 > 0:31:31and the emotional side of it is something I'd have to get used to or get over.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47If Paul and Sheri are to make a life Down Under a reality,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50getting the right price for their home in the UK will be vital.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54They reckon it's worth about £385,000.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57But will two local estate agents agree?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01'It's a very modern-looking room. It feels very light and bright.'
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Nice bay windows at the front.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- This is strange. - He's missed the study.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Oh, no.- Oh, God!
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I was six in that.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15This is a really nice sized dining room. You can fit a good-sized family table in here.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18But also the two windows, the front one being a bay window,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- letting in plenty of natural light. - 'My nice modern kitchen.'
0:32:21 > 0:32:23You've got flowers everywhere.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27A big range cooker and a big American fridge freezer.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31This is everything people are looking for in a nice modern house in this area.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33This is a really nice garden.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37One of the main selling features, actually. Nice decking area, hot tub area.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39The Astroturf garden as well.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- Grace's room.- Are there enough photos on the wall?
0:32:43 > 0:32:47The third bedroom has the built-in wardrobes
0:32:47 > 0:32:50providing good storage space.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I would value this house at £375,000.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56For a quick sale I would value this around 360,000.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59'I'd value the house in the current market at 385,000.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I think 350, you'd achieve a quick sale.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05You can sell anything on the quick for cheap, can't you?
0:33:05 > 0:33:06I wouldn't be happy with that.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10I wouldn't want to go down the route of renting it out.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14There's always the temptation if something went wrong here,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16I'd want to go back.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18If you've got nothing to go back to...
0:33:19 > 0:33:21You'd have to work it out, wouldn't you?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24I'd be homeless.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26That's a scary thought. But it's time to consider
0:33:26 > 0:33:29how their finances could work in Australia.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32To help them out, we have provided a comparison of costs,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35starting with the weekly food shop.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39OK, peanut butter. This is a big one if Ryan comes.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41He gets through about three jars of this in a week.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- 1.87 more. - That's for just for one jar.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Sheri shops around at home but with only two major supermarket chains in Perth,
0:33:49 > 0:33:52finding a bargain might be tougher.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56£7.85 more for mushrooms.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I mean, that is just huge.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Taking this into account, how does the weekly bill look?
0:34:01 > 0:34:06It is £130.03. Ouch.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- That is £65.22...- More.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13If we look at our overall monthly figure
0:34:13 > 0:34:17we're going to have to allow double for our food bill.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20On the plus side, Paul could potentially earn more.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- 11,600...- Better off, isn't it?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24That's s plus.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28It's a good start but basing their figures on property one,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31will it be enough to make up for the higher outgoings?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34We've got 130,000 left on our mortgage.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39We're going to have to increase our mortgage to buy property one to 221.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44That's a £91,000 difference on mortgage.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46With increased food and mortgage payments,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49how will this impact on their overall monthly expenditure?
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Total monthly outgoings add up to...
0:34:53 > 0:34:562,476.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- That's pounds, isn't it? - Per month.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02It is a lot of money but will the bottom line be worse or better than expected?
0:35:02 > 0:35:06£1,000 a month better off based on house number one.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10That's on a house that costs three quarters of a million dollars.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13That gives us such a good quality of life in a nice house on a beach.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- We couldn't have dreamt of that. You happy?- Very, yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22So based on today's figures,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26will Paul and Sheri choose finances in Australia or the UK?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28BOTH: Australia!
0:35:30 > 0:35:33That wasn't going to be a hard decision, was it?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- And a tricky one, wasn't it?- It was.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Less hours, more money and a bit of sunshine.- Yeah.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45The finances are working in everyone's favour
0:35:45 > 0:35:49but for this close-knit family, the biggest hurdle has always been
0:35:49 > 0:35:52the thought of leaving loved ones back in the UK.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55So how will they react to messages from home?
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Hi, guys. Hope you're well, hope you're having a good time in Australia.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02We're missing you. We can't wait for you to get back so you can tell us about it.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Hi, guys. Hope you're having a lovely time in Australia
0:36:05 > 0:36:07and getting a nice, lovely tan.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Hi, Sheri. I understand you're in Australia now.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13That's a good call, girl.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15I hope you enjoy the weather and I hope you get a real
0:36:15 > 0:36:19inclination of what it's like in Australia.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23They're there for you any time, anywhere.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27They're just one bubbly, happy unit.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32A genuinely nice guy, just, like, kind, considerate, caring.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Always there. If I ever needed him, he'd be there.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Just, erm, yeah, he's lovely.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43Because she'd built up such a business and a family life
0:36:43 > 0:36:46here in England, I thought she was pretty settled.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51But obviously she's always looking for a new adventure.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- We were shocked, I have to say, and...- Sad.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57When I got home that night after the pub when he told us,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I must admit, I was a bit taken aback.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03I don't want them to think we think it's only a phase for them.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06But if it does turn out that way, at least they can turn around and go,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09"We done that, we learned from it and we're stronger for it."
0:37:09 > 0:37:12So I'd rather they go out there and have a good time while they're there
0:37:12 > 0:37:15and not worry about the fact we're here and all the rest of it.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Just enjoy the time they've got out there and see the positives
0:37:18 > 0:37:19and weigh it up properly.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I really hope you find everything that makes you happy
0:37:22 > 0:37:24and if not, come back because we really love you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28And of course life will be just as fantastic here with you in it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Obviously, we understand you may, or you will be missing Luke
0:37:32 > 0:37:33but we'll keep an eye out for him
0:37:33 > 0:37:36and rest assured we will come and visit you one day.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40If that's what they want, then we could never stand in their way
0:37:40 > 0:37:43or want to. But, yeah, we will miss them.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Yeah, without a doubt, Ryan is the biggest love of my life.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57If they went, I would miss Ryan like crazy, definitely.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01It would be really, really hard. I'd struggle so much.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Even if you give it a few years and decide it's not for you,
0:38:04 > 0:38:07you need to make that decision and go out there just to get
0:38:07 > 0:38:10it off your mind instead of wondering "what if"?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14You know we're behind you so just do what you've got to do.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16I can't say any more.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- You OK?- Yeah, fine.- What about you?
0:38:35 > 0:38:40Weird seeing it, like, we don't really talk about it that much.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43At home they don't actually say how they feel about it,
0:38:43 > 0:38:45they're just like, go for it. So...
0:38:49 > 0:38:51It's... It has made me think a little bit.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Good to see Luke. I still don't know whether he was just saying it.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Or is he putting a brave face on it...- No idea.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07He's made of the same stuff so maybe he's more behind us than you think.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- What made you cry? - Seeing everybody.- Everybody, yeah.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Yeah, it was good to see Amy again.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21It's definitely made the decision a bit more complicated for me,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23watching that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29The greatest fear for the Wintrips has always been
0:39:29 > 0:39:32whether they could leave eldest son Luke back in the UK.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35So to have his blessing should make things easier.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40But for Ryan, hearing from his girlfriend has thrown his decision into doubt.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Without him, the family's dream might be over.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48It's taken four years for the Wintrips to come this close
0:39:48 > 0:39:50to their dream life.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52But has the past week been enough to help them
0:39:52 > 0:39:55finally decide where their future might lie?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59I definitely have seen a change in Paul since we started on this week.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02If my chat with Gavin on the work experience day
0:40:02 > 0:40:04wasn't so positive,
0:40:06 > 0:40:11it would have ended the dream of coming out here, definitely.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I am torn between my love and commitment to Paul
0:40:14 > 0:40:17and what I want for the best for Grace, for her future,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21but at the same time I have brought up my children to be strong,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23independent adults.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26And the only unnatural thing about it is the fact I feel I'm leaving them.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28That doesn't feel natural to me.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Sheri, maybe, surprised me most out of all of us.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37She's a very strong, confident person and the one thing that hurts me
0:40:37 > 0:40:39is when I see her upset.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43But Sheri isn't the only one upset by the move.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Me and Amy have got a good relationship.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48I would say she is the one.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50We do do loads together.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54She's, yeah, she's really special.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Fully understand if Ryan didn't want to come
0:40:56 > 0:40:58because of his girlfriend back home.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I can totally appreciate that.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07He wouldn't get any problems off me if he decided that way.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10I'd find it really hard if Ryan decided not to come to Australia.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13Whether my mum can be away from both of my brothers for a long time,
0:41:13 > 0:41:15would be quite difficult.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I do worry that Ryan might feel slightly under pressure
0:41:19 > 0:41:22to have to make the decision that he thinks we want him to make.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24I'm hoping none of them are going to...
0:41:25 > 0:41:30..say yes just to please me. That would not make me happy at all.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32So with the final turn of the cards,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35will the Wintrips choose a future in the UK or Australia?
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Based on our week in Australia we are going to live in...
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Australia!- Undecided?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58What? Why are you undecided?
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Well, I feel as though I need to go back to the UK
0:42:01 > 0:42:06and speak to Amy, and see if she'll consider moving over here with us.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- That's a good idea. - Before I make my decision.- Serious?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12And if she says no?
0:42:12 > 0:42:17- If she said no, I'd have to really think about my final decision.- OK.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23- Would a jet ski help?- Bribery, Dad, won't work.- A jet ski always helps.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27The opportunities out here for me and for you two as well
0:42:27 > 0:42:31are just so much better than in the UK. So why not give it a go?
0:42:31 > 0:42:35If we don't do it, we're going to regret it for the rest of our lives,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37our miserable lives in the UK.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40There's always going to be a little bit of heartache with leaving
0:42:40 > 0:42:44friends and loved ones but this country this week has given us
0:42:44 > 0:42:47so many options, and I could see us actually enjoying our life here.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Paul and Sheri always worried that Ryan would hold the final card
0:42:57 > 0:43:00and his undecided vote proved their fear.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03But the rest of the family are finally reconciled to the heartache
0:43:03 > 0:43:09of leaving loved ones behind for a chance of a better life Down Under.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Whatever happens next, we wish them all a very happy future.
