0:00:02 > 0:00:05If all you wanted in life was to spend quality time
0:00:05 > 0:00:09with the people you love, how far would you go to achieve your dream?
0:00:09 > 0:00:14For one family, it could mean a move to the other side of the world.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The Bones are struggling to balance work and family life.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23I've been working nights and weekends for close to 20 years now.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Dad's not here when we come in from school, Dad's not up
0:00:26 > 0:00:28when the we leave school in the morning.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Desperate for a fresh start, they believe
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Australia could be the answer.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36The dream is just to have a better quality of family life.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39- A trial week down under doesn't disappoint.- No...
0:00:39 > 0:00:41..way!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- That's just amazing. - But could the finances see
0:00:45 > 0:00:47the family's fate flounder?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Actually, I feel pretty gutted.- I feel quite deflated, actually.- Yeah.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18In the last 20 years,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22over 600,000 British citizens have moved to Australia.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26They are drawn by the lure of the country's 10,500 beaches
0:01:26 > 0:01:28an average nine hours of sunshine every day
0:01:28 > 0:01:32and the outdoor lifestyle that comes as a result.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36On the surface, the Bone family have a comfortable
0:01:36 > 0:01:39life in a beautiful part of the world.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But mum, Sarah, believes it comes at a price
0:01:42 > 0:01:44she's no longer willing to pay.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48The family will spend the next week experiencing everything Australia
0:01:48 > 0:01:52could offer, before deciding whether to move there for good.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The 20 hour journey to Perth has brought the Bones more than
0:01:56 > 0:01:5810,000 miles from Scotland,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00but they've taken the trip in their stride.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08It wasn't as bad as what I had anticipated. I thought it was going to be really exhausting.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11It was certainly better than what we expected, I think.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14The kids were great on it, so, it's doable.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17It's the family's first time on Australian soil,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and for Sarah and Max, it's been a long time coming.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23It's almost a surreal feeling, we've been waiting for...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26..almost six years now and we're finally here.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Stepping out of the plane was really day one of our adventure
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and our prospect of looking into options for a better life.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35It just feels so exciting
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and I just cannot wait to see what's on offer in Perth.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Having finally reached Australia,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44ahead lies a week that could change the family's future forever.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Meet the Bones.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Mum Sarah, dad Max, Rhiannon, who's 15,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Cara, age nine, and Hayden, who's four.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57They live in the village of Ochiltree
0:02:57 > 0:02:59in East Ayrshire, Scotland.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It has a quiet lifestyle, very nice, safe lifestyle.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04We have a really comfortable life, financially.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07A beautiful house, beautiful children.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10It's a long way from the life Sarah once knew.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Falling pregnant with Rhiannon at 16, she found herself alone.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I had nowhere to stay and I had to make an application
0:03:17 > 0:03:20as homeless through the local authority.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22To be a parent, a single parent, at 16,
0:03:22 > 0:03:27and to be facing homelessness was pretty scary, to be by yourself.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30And Rhiannon kept me going through the whole process
0:03:30 > 0:03:32and still does, today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I think my mum did such a good job bringing me up.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I mean, she was totally on her own.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Determined to build a better future for herself and her daughter,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Sarah returned to education.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47I really wanted to show people that I had more in me,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50so, whilst being in hostel accommodation,
0:03:50 > 0:03:56I started my degree to turn my life about for myself and my daughter.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It's only now that I'm older that I see how she struggled,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02but she's done such an amazing job, because I never saw her struggles.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Sarah's come a long way in the past 15 years, with financial security,
0:04:07 > 0:04:11a loving husband and a home of her own, everything looks perfect.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13But, it's not.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Dad's never in at dinner time, Dad doesn't sit down at the table
0:04:16 > 0:04:20and have dinner with us. Dad's not here when we come in from school.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Dad's not up when we leave for school in the morning.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Max's job with a pizza company means long and late shifts
0:04:27 > 0:04:29away from the family.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34I've been working nights and weekends for close to 20 years now.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37And that's having an effect on everyone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39When we do spend time as a family it's great,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42we have a fantastic time, but it's few and far between.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I will get annoyed that Max is working and I know that
0:04:45 > 0:04:49it's not his fault, but it still becomes really frustrating
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and it's just starts a bit of tension.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It usually ends up spiralling into something bigger than it was.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's just so difficult to get time as a family.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Having made a better life for herself in the past,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Sarah is determined to do the same again, this time for her family.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11The dream, from me, is to have the same kind of house
0:05:11 > 0:05:13that we have established here,
0:05:13 > 0:05:15but just have a better lifestyle.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18To be able to do things after work with the children, whether it be
0:05:18 > 0:05:22going down the beach, whether it be even just sitting out the back door.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25And Max agrees, life needs to change.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28We obviously want to have time at the end of a working day,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31where you can have your downtime, have your fun time.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36I don't think that's happening to a great extent at the moment.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39For more than five years, Sarah and Max have felt Australia could
0:05:39 > 0:05:42offer their family the ideal life.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Whether it be naively from watching Home And Away and Neighbours
0:05:44 > 0:05:47and things like that, as a young person growing up, you have
0:05:47 > 0:05:50these images, or a vision in your head.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It's something inside both of us,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55just burning away and we just need to look at this seriously.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59But, Max has concerns that will need to be addressed before he will
0:05:59 > 0:06:02consider moving his family to the other side of the world.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I think it's a great idea. You know, the weather is great,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10the lifestyle looks brilliant, but, unless we can get out there and
0:06:10 > 0:06:15get decent jobs, it would just be crazy for us to be that stupid.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Seeking the perfect family life, the couple are now
0:06:18 > 0:06:21pinning their hopes on a country they've never visited.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26This week in Perth is going to be huge for us. It really is.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28For the dream, make or break.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31If it doesn't work out, I think I'll be absolutely gutted.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The family are spending their trial week in Western Australia's
0:06:45 > 0:06:47capital city, Perth.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Staying in the coastal suburb of Mindarie,
0:06:49 > 0:06:5222 miles north of the city centre.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Home for the week is this modern, three-bedroom house and,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59as a first taste of Aussie living, it doesn't disappoint.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Wow, this is fantastic... Stairs, double.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09This is gorgeous. This is absolutely gorgeous.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Looking out onto the sea, you can see the sea from here.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Oh, we'll just need to get a boat, I think.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Steady on, Max, it's early days yet.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Look at the size! It's got the island in the middle.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Sarah loves the kitchen
0:07:25 > 0:07:29and the whole family can imagine chilling outdoors.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Well, this is a big space. - There's the barbie.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Fantastic, an Aussie barbie.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I think Sarah's got more than burgers on her mind.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Candles, you can imagine along the wall in the late...at night-time.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48- Romantic.- Romantic, yeah. It could be.- That sounds good to me.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51They've just arrived down under, yet Cara and Rhiannon
0:07:51 > 0:07:53like what they've seen so far.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57First impression of Australia is awesome, it's warm.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Australia just looks incredible.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I mean, this house is just, wow.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05But Sarah is beginning to realise her dream
0:08:05 > 0:08:08could live or die over the next week.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11This week in Australia is make or break for us.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14We need to make the decision whether we think that this would
0:08:14 > 0:08:17provided us with a better life for the family of five of us.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21And addressing Max's worries will be key.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26My concerns are the financial aspects, that we can't afford
0:08:26 > 0:08:29where we would like to stay, or, you know,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33can we get jobs we would enjoy doing?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36It's a huge, huge thing we're thinking of doing here.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Back in the UK, the Bones are happy with their four-bedroom house
0:08:47 > 0:08:49in the village of Ochiltree in East Ayrshire.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I love our house in Ochiltree.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54If I could pick it up and move it to Australia and I had a pool,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56that would just be perfect.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59We have the dream house and it's going to be really,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01really hard to leave.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05The family have a budget of £300,000 for a home in Australia
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and a clear idea of what they'd like.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It would need to be four bedrooms.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Our kids would never cope, having to go back and share a bedroom.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16I've got a bee in my bonnet about a pool.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19That's the swinging point for my three children, is to have a pool.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Even from me, the big one is the pool. I'd love a pool.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I'd love a cinema room, that would be amazing.
0:09:26 > 0:09:3110-15 minutes drive from a beach would be, again, fantastic.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Not looking for much, then, Max?
0:09:33 > 0:09:38I think if we somehow couldn't afford a four-bedroom house,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41or the dream property in a nice area, myself and Sarah would
0:09:41 > 0:09:45really need to sit down and have a long, hard discussion about
0:09:45 > 0:09:48whether it was actually worth moving to Australia or not.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Finding the ideal home at the right price could make or break
0:10:01 > 0:10:05the family's hopes of a new life together down under.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07To give them an idea of what's on offer in Perth,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09we're showing them three properties.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Two on budget and one which could be their dream home.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The search begins in Butler, a suburb 25 miles north of Perth,
0:10:22 > 0:10:26just 2km from the Indian Ocean and with a wide range of local
0:10:26 > 0:10:30amenities, it could be the perfect spot for the Bones.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Will this four-bedroom house be just what they're looking for?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- It's darker than I thought.- Oh, it is dark, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- It's quite small as well, isn't it? - Yeah, it's really dingy and dark.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44First impressions, wouldn't be what I would hope to see
0:10:44 > 0:10:46in an Australian house.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51That's not a great start and, on closer inspection, things get worse.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55This is really old and needing a lot of work done to it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59The workmanship's quite poor, to be honest.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04There's cracks everywhere and... Yeah. I wouldn't buy it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Hold on, Max, you've not seen everything yet.
0:11:07 > 0:11:13What have you got through here? Oh, it's a kitchenette, oh, oh!
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Nice.- Oh, wow, right, OK.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19The open-plan kitchen goes down well.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You can look out onto the garden, which is really quite big.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25But also visible is one typical Australian feature,
0:11:25 > 0:11:27which means another thumbs down.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31I don't like the corrugated iron, that's a big bug-bear.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Max is getting worried.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Yeah, this is a wee bit concerning now, if this is
0:11:36 > 0:11:41the standard that is maybe the only option for us in Australia.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- This isn't good enough. - There's more to see, maybe.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Maybe it will surprise us.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Sarah's not giving up just yet
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and the master bedroom has one pleasing aspect.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Oh, see, I like this, this is great. - That's dead bright, yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Can you imagine just having your bedroom and just looking out onto...
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- ..if you did get a pool. - But the bathroom's a big letdown.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It just seems so old-fashioned.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- So, for five of us... - No, definitely not.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11...the queue would be outside, wouldn't it?
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Outdoors, the garden's dining area's a more attractive space.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Oh, this is so nice. So nice.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, you can feel the breeze.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Definitely see myself sitting at that with an orange juice
0:12:24 > 0:12:27and a croissant in the morning before work.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Although it's missing one feature, Sarah and Hayden have plans.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Where would you put your pool if you had room for a pool?
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Would you have it right over... Over there?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42All the way to there?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45That could be Olympic sized, Hayden.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48While the garden has the space the Bones are looking for,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51this house's interior has left everyone underwhelmed.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56And their £300,000, or 545,000 budget,
0:12:56 > 0:13:00may not even meet the asking price.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm really nervous about turning this card over.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- If it's at the top of our budget... My stomach's churning.- Me too,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I wouldn't like to pay any more than 375,000 for this.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- I would've went 425,000.- 425,000? - Right, Rhiannon.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Fingers crossed, guys.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Oh, my goodness.- Wow!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- That's...- £267,000.
0:13:27 > 0:13:33It may be £33,000 below budget, but that's not enough to impress Max.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36That's extortionate.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37- Extortionate.- Yeah.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Absolute rip-off.- Oh, no.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43That's really scary for where we go from here.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I feel really disappointed
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and quite worried about what the rest of the day holds.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52With their day discovering Perth properties off to
0:13:52 > 0:13:55a disappointing start, could Sarah and Max's vision
0:13:55 > 0:13:58of a life down under already be disappearing?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Property number two is also in the Butler area.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13It's a spacious four-bedroom home, just what the family are after,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16but will it impress enough to lift their spirits?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh, wow.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Oh, look what's in here, Hayden!
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Do you like this room?- This is... lovely.- This is lovely.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26This is really nice.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's a much more promising start.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32They've got a pool table in, but we could change that
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- and you could have things to utilise it as a family.- Cinema room?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- Maybe not a cinema room, but... Yeah, you could utilise it.- Maybe.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Yeah, definitely...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- ..much, much better than the previous property.- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45And just sort of afraid of the price now.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- And the master bedroom doesn't disappoint either.- Oh, Sarah!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52There's walk-in wardrobes. Two! Ah!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- We've got half each.- Oh, nice.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- Nice.- This is a huge space as well, isn't it?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04A toilet. Double shower.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Look at that.- Oh, this is big.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10This is the kind of bathroom that we would like to have.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- This house seems to be delivering on all fronts.- It's so nice.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Look at the space in here.- What?!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Oh, wow!- That is amazing. - This is the dream.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22This feels as if this could be the one.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Oh, another bedroom. Oh, this is big as well, isn't it?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31And Max spies something which indicates this could be
0:15:31 > 0:15:33the Bones' home from home.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34The Jimmy!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38This is clearly meant to be. This is our house, that was a sign.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40It was meant to be.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41BAGPIPES PLAY
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Outside lies another surprise...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Oh, that's amazing.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53That's amazing.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Oh, wow.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- This is lovely. - You can imagine this...
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- This is the dream, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Sitting with a glass of wine,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05having a chat about our day, after school, everybody.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Just catching up and chilling.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I think this would be worth working really, really, really hard for.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Oh, wow. Look, you can feel the sun.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Can you imagine just coming out and swimming in your own pool?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- It's huge!- This is just crazy.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24This house seems tailor-made for the family, but is it somewhere
0:16:24 > 0:16:28they could afford to call home, with their £300,000
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- or 540,000 - budget?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34So, how much do you think?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37I had thought about 550,000,
0:16:37 > 0:16:41and now I think, probably 600,000, when you see the outside area.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43What do you think, how much do you think it might be?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Maybe 575,000 to 600,000.- Yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52For me, I'm feeling almost nervous that it's beyond what we can afford,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55because this is the house I want.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57This is the house we want.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Are you ready, Cara?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08THEY GASP
0:17:08 > 0:17:09No way.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- That's so...- I'm so...- ..surprising.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16It's only £17,000 over budget.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20As long as the job situation goes well... Wow.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- With a pool.- That's amazing.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26This house has knocked the family for six
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and Rhiannon and Sarah's emotions are running high.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Me and my mum have came from a house that's, you know,
0:17:31 > 0:17:36two bedrooms. It wasn't very nice at all. She's just done amazing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37We've all done amazing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40If we were to get this, it would just be the dream.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43To show other people that, look, look where this person who was
0:17:43 > 0:17:47a single parent at 16 has come, and this is in 15 years.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50It's just amazing. And wee Rhiannon is getting all emotional.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I just feel so proud of my mum
0:17:54 > 0:17:58to have come from to this place and I...
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Sorry!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's just amazing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Everyone's fallen for this house, but there's still one more to see.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10The potential dream home we found for them.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It would be amazing just to experience that
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and let the children see what a dream property would look like.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I would love to see a dream property, after seeing this. Yeah.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26The Bones' final stop is in Quinns Rocks.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Originally a holiday destination, it's now a popular
0:18:29 > 0:18:34residential suburb, just a 30-minute commute from Perth city centre.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37This modern new build is only a stones-throw away from the beach,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40just what Max was looking for.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You can actually see the sea through the trees over there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- That's how close it is.- Yep!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48A life by the beach could be within reach,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52but will this house have the wow factor of property two?
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Oh, wow, this is nice.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Yeah.- Oh, it's dead bright, isn't it?- Isn't it?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59It sounds promising.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00Oh, this is huge!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- Oh, wow.- This is absolutely huge. - Gorgeous.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08What's in here?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12SHE GASPS ALL: Noooo waaay!
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- What?!- Wow!
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Look at the size!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19This is a second... This is a bedroom!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22It's not long before Sarah is sorting out the storage.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Look, places for all my handbags. And you would be able
0:19:26 > 0:19:28to put them all in...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It would be like Kardashian...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33And Max's dream is about to come true too.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34THEY GASP
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Oh, I wonder who is going to be happy being in this room?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43That's incredible.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45That's awesome, isn't it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Oh, man...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I want this house. I just want this house.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Oh, wow.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Whoa!- Look at this area.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Oh, wow, big TV!
0:20:02 > 0:20:06This house has surpassed everyone's expectations.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Big room!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11And Hayden's spied one more family-friendly feature.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm not telling you, but you have to go to the window.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18No way!
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Oh, yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- You could relax in here, couldn't you?- Oh... Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27This is the dream, isn't it,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- just to be able to sit out your back door and relax?- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35This property has delivered everything the Bones could want from a dream home.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39But how close will it come to their 545,000 budget?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I would say probably 700, 750?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'd...I'd go almost...
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- 675.- Would you?- I think with the beach, yeah.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49What do you think?
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Erm...I'm going for 775.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52- Oh. Much bigger.- OK.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Right, will we turn it over?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- How much...?- Ready...
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- 705.- 705,000.- Wow.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09It's £92,000 over budget.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's less than I thought it was going to be.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13With the right jobs and salary down under,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16this home could be within reach -
0:21:16 > 0:21:19but Rhiannon's got her heart set on another home.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21For us as a family
0:21:21 > 0:21:24the space in here is just too much,
0:21:24 > 0:21:29and the other property is just almost perfect.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36The Bones' search for Perth property has brought mixed results.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38House number one was under budget,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42but too dark and small for the family's needs.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Property two had plenty of space,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47and went down well with everyone.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51And home number three really WAS a dream home,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53but perhaps just too spacious for Rhiannon.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59So, when it comes to the vote, will the Bones choose home or away?
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Wonderful day visiting the houses in Australia. Now it's time to vote.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Do we prefer Australian houses or British houses?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Australia.- Australia!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Unsure?- No way.- Wow.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27The price of the properties compared to the house we have at home -
0:22:27 > 0:22:28they're really expensive.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33Expensive compared to what we are in the UK, but what does it have to offer us?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36At least you never voted for UK! That's positive.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37The dream's not dead.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Sarah's undecided vote has surprised everyone.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Could she slowly be discovering
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Australia may not meet her expectations?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Today is Cara's tenth birthday, but any celebrations could be
0:22:54 > 0:22:58short-lived, as Sarah and Max check out their work prospects in Perth.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Securing the right job has always been Max's biggest worry about a move.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's Sarah who's the main visa applicant.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Back in the UK, she's a qualified community worker.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15I love this job.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I have worked in social care and with people experiencing
0:23:18 > 0:23:21homelessness or threatened with homelessness for ten years.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24It's a job she knows the value of first hand.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28If it hadn't been for supports and information that I had got going through the homeless process,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I would never have been able to achieve what I've achieved today.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35And while Max enjoys his job as area manager for a pizza chain,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38it does have its downside.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42My current job, I've been doing for...oh, about nine years now.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46It's a lot of evening work and weekend work -
0:23:46 > 0:23:48again there's a lot of early starts as well.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56We've arranged for Sarah to visit St Bartholomew's House in Perth
0:23:56 > 0:23:59to check out her work opportunities.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04The shelter looks after 600 people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08She's met by manager and expat Nina Crosland.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Welcome to St Bart's.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14So we've got about 148 rooms here,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17so it's quite a decent-sized facility that we've got.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Really impressed, it's a really, really big property
0:24:19 > 0:24:25- compared to what we've got back in Scotland. Really modern.- Yeah.- Wow.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Sarah's keen to find out how her job might differ down under...
0:24:29 > 0:24:31In terms of work in Australia
0:24:31 > 0:24:34there's obviously the same issues that are in the UK,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and we've had a number of people come from the UK and transition easily.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41..and if her qualifications from the UK would be relevant.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45I have an SVQ 3 in health and social care,
0:24:45 > 0:24:48I have a PDA in housing law and advice,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50but my degree is in business studies.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53So that's a worry, that my skills won't be able to transfer.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57They changed the jobs on the list
0:24:57 > 0:24:59of what they're actually looking for at times, so
0:24:59 > 0:25:02welfare worker I believe IS on there so I think you can
0:25:02 > 0:25:05really look to consider whether that's something you can fall under.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08And we've definitely supported people to do that.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Knowing her skills could transfer is encouraging news for Sarah.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Meanwhile, across town, Max is about to get
0:25:15 > 0:25:18the lowdown on opportunities in the restaurant sector.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Come on in.- Thank you.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22He's meeting with Andrew Thomas,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26operations director of a speciality coffee shop chain.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29How would somebody get into a business like this,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32would they start entry level or...?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35As I understand it you kind of spent
0:25:35 > 0:25:39- nine-odd years with a pizza business and five years as an area manager? - Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43The opportunity and the availability for those positions definitely exists.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Max's experience IS paying off -
0:25:45 > 0:25:48but would his shift patterns be any better than at home?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Perth, as I quickly learnt, is a kind of an early rising town.- Right.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00However, leaving at 4:30, five o'clock, no-one frowns upon that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- I don't get it in my neck from my wife any more.- Right, OK!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05So I'm home, I see my kids in the morning
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- and have dinner every night. - That sounds great.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Early finishes means Max could get
0:26:10 > 0:26:13more of the family time he's been missing out on.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17But if a move's to work, salary for the couple will be key too.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21At St Bart's, Sarah was about to find out how much she could earn in a year.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27You can be considering something between 52,000 as a starting point, up to 57,000.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30You could consider a team leader role or a coordinator position,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34which would take you up to roughly about sort of 70,000.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39That's a potential annual salary of almost £39,000.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44That's really impressive. It's a lot more than what I get just now In the UK.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48In fact, it's nearly double what Sarah currently earns.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Very, very impressed, and it makes me very hopeful of opportunities if I was to come over to Australia.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57But Sarah knows Max will need a positive result on the earnings front
0:26:57 > 0:27:00if he's to be persuaded to move the family down under.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03If he can't secure a good income or an increased salary
0:27:03 > 0:27:06or at least the same as what he does, then it's not an option.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So what ARE Max's prospects?
0:27:10 > 0:27:15The base salary would be probably about 70,000 to 100,000,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18plus superannuation on top of that,
0:27:18 > 0:27:21so that be somewhere in the region of about £40,000 to £70,000.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23OK. That's a good wage.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28That compares favourably with Max's salary in the UK.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32But he still has some concerns about a move.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Very happy about it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39But it's just the danger of, you know, that's what I COULD achieve.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43And it's whether or not, again moving over here first time, whether I WOULD achieve that.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Do you think we would be able to see more of you in that
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- kind of role rather than what you're in just now?- Yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53I hope so, definitely the kind of divide between work life and family life can be done,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- if you work hard.- If you work hard. - If you work hard and you take a risk. It's a big risk.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- That's what I'm realising, it's a big risk.- Big risk to take.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03No matter what the situation is, we're rolling the dice and we see what happens.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It's been a very important day
0:28:07 > 0:28:11for finding out about work prospects, and this is how we're going to vote.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- Undecided.- Australia!
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I love my job in the UK,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27but I just let think there's so much more opportunities for career progression
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- and the salary is much more for me here in Australia.- Yep.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I think there's a huge amount of possibilities here.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I just need to find out just a wee bit more.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Still playing the cautious card,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Max hasn't yet been convinced a life down under's a real possibility.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55So will a rare family day out together,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59experiencing Australia's great outdoors win him round?
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Today the Bones are visiting Yanchep National Park.
0:29:03 > 0:29:08It's the perfect place to get up close and personal with some Australian wildlife.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Oh, koalas...
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Wow, look.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Who's going to be first to see if we can see any?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Look! Hayden, you see it?
0:29:18 > 0:29:19It's sleeping.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Wow. How cute is that?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24That's absolutely gorgeous.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26It's sleeping.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27SARAH GASPS
0:29:27 > 0:29:29It's awesome.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32What's that over there, Hayden, can you see it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- It's kangaroos.- Wow...
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Mingling with marsupials seems to have cast a spell on Max.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42That's incredible.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48It's just a different world, it's so... This is incredible.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52You see these things on the TV for years and years and years
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and to finally be here, it's just incredible.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56And Cara's also entranced.
0:29:56 > 0:30:02- You can have the baby kangaroo and I'll have the koala, we can swap every week.- Deal.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06BOTH: They're so cute.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's been a rare chance for the family
0:30:09 > 0:30:12to spend time together with Max.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's so good to see the kids just having fun and enjoying themselves.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17This has just been amazing, great.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Having Max here is really strange for us as a family.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Usually, we tend to do things as a family of four
0:30:23 > 0:30:26when Max is working, so it's been really fantastic.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30And Rhiannon's noticed a difference in her mum.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33For me to see my mum and Max together, it's just great.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34I feel like my mum, especially,
0:30:34 > 0:30:37she's so happy when she sees the kids happy,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39and when she's with Max there is just, like,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43a kind of air of happiness - I know that sounds cheesy -
0:30:43 > 0:30:46around everyone. It's just... Yeah, it's just been amazing.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's been a day of simple pleasures,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53but one which could have been a turning point for Max.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Today's great, the best day out I've had for a while,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59certainly better than anything we've had in the UK for a long while.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02No matter what we do, no matter how much information we have here,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04I think it's still going to be a big risk coming out,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06but seeing today...
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I'm starting to feel as if the risk is definitely worthwhile.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13To have that time, hopefully on a regular basis, would be fantastic.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19So, based on lifestyle, will the family choose Australia or the UK?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22What an amazing day here at the National Park
0:31:22 > 0:31:24seeing the koalas and the kangaroos.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25Now it's time to vote.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35ALL: Australia!
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It's not a surprise, is it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- So we prefer Australia? - Yep, Australia.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- We had a good day?- Fantastic day.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Where else can you sit and have your lunch with kangaroos as your company?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Just being able to walk past koalas and kangaroos,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- you can't usually do that. - Definitely not.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58It's ducks or cows or something when we're at home.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Koalas and kangaroos - big difference.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Different world, isn't it?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13So far, their time in Perth has shown the Bones
0:32:13 > 0:32:16that Australia could give them the family life
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Sarah and Max have been dreaming of,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21but Max is still concerned the finances of a move
0:32:21 > 0:32:23just won't stack up.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Getting the right price for the family home in the UK
0:32:25 > 0:32:27could be a good start.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Max and Sarah believe it's worth £190,000.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34We sent two estate agents round to see if they agree.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Very nice. Lovely spacious reception hallway.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Oh, I love the doors,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47solid oak, very nice.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51It's a lovely kitchen, it's a spacious family dining kitchen.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Very nice.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56This is the room we use all the time.
0:32:56 > 0:32:57Wow, yes.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59What a great room.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Obviously been extended to take full advantage of the views.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Love the hat.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It's got your Australia hat in it!
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Spectacular views out over the countryside.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13The master bedroom. Again, it's a very spacious room,
0:33:13 > 0:33:15faces to the front, which is very good,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17cos it gives it lots of light.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Really nice, spacious bathroom, in keeping with a house of this size.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Lovely corner bath, and a large walk-in shower.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27This is my favourite room of the house,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I like pretty pink princesses.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Stunning scenery to the back of this property,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36so, again, this room's got a lovely view.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Again, another nice pink room.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40THEY LAUGH
0:33:40 > 0:33:42A good size.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I don't know how they've managed to get a photograph of me
0:33:44 > 0:33:45in my swimming trunks,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- THEY LAUGH - but there we are.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It's a stunning family detached property,
0:33:49 > 0:33:53it's in a lovely area, it's surrounded by beautiful countryside
0:33:53 > 0:33:56and in today's current market
0:33:56 > 0:33:58I'd value the property at £195,000.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00And for a quick sale 185,000.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05It is a very impressive family home, seven apartments, four bedrooms
0:34:05 > 0:34:09with a lovely extension to the rear taking full advantage of the views.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10In the current market
0:34:10 > 0:34:13I would value this property at £200,000
0:34:13 > 0:34:18and for a quick sale, if the owner's looking to move abroad, 185,000.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I feel a big relief.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23That was a big pressure there, that opens doors, doesn't it?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Yeah, definitely.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27For the kind of value of the properties in Perth,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I was quite concerned that we wouldn't have enough equity
0:34:30 > 0:34:33to bring over, but with that it's very positive
0:34:33 > 0:34:36and I think this could be a goer now.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38They're encouraging valuations,
0:34:38 > 0:34:41but would the family finances balance down under?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44We've provided a comparison of living costs between
0:34:44 > 0:34:48the UK and Australia to help the couple do the sums.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50First up, it's the weekly grocery bill.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Milk's similar.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Almost double, in fact more than double, for brown bread.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01So, yoghurts we go through a lot of in the house -
0:35:01 > 0:35:07it's over four times more expensive for yoghurts.
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Crisps, similar.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10The crisps are awesome here,
0:35:10 > 0:35:15I was hoping they were going to be more expensive to try and deter me.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20So, that works out £36.89 more expensive per week.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Uh-huh, yep.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Which, if we times that by four,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27gives us £147.56 per month more.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- But, it doesn't seem unachievable. - No.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32And, again, anybody that knows me
0:35:32 > 0:35:35back at home will know I'm a bargain hunter.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- You like to hunt for your bargains. - So I would make it work.- Yeah.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42That might take some savvy shopping, Sarah.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Examining their bigger outgoings, such as mortgage payments,
0:35:45 > 0:35:49the couple base their figure on the second property they saw.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52..minus 1,062.39.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Equals minus £192.39.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59The family's mortgage payments
0:35:59 > 0:36:02would be £200 a month higher in Australia,
0:36:02 > 0:36:06and it would mean almost doubling the length of their mortgage term.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0930 years compared to 14 years in the UK.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- That's...- That's quite disappointing, isn't it,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- when you look at it? - Very disappointing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20Overall, the couple would be worse off by almost £1,200 a year.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23But could their potential earnings make up the shortfall?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27So, combined total income monthly would be...
0:36:27 > 0:36:313,838.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36OK, the difference between my income in the UK
0:36:36 > 0:36:40and Australia, I'd be £2 a month better off.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43That's not going to make much difference.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Will Sarah's salary?
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- 236.- 235 better off.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Combined £238 per month. - Which isn't a lot.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Actually, I feel pretty gutted.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Although they would be better off in Australia,
0:36:55 > 0:36:59the couple feel it's not worth increasing the term of their mortgage.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04I feel quite flat just now and I just need time to work this out.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- But at the moment I feel quite deflated, actually.- Yeah
0:37:11 > 0:37:14After looking at the figures, it is time to vote.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26BOTH: UK.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I don't think I would ever want to go back to having
0:37:29 > 0:37:31a 30 year term on our mortgage.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33I think it's a no-brainer.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Financially, we're better off in the UK.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39To have a mortgage for another 30 years doesn't really appeal to me.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Eh...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Yeah, the UK, by a long shot.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53A longer mortgage term means more time together for the Bones
0:37:53 > 0:37:55would come at a cost.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59And there's emotional cost of a move to consider, too.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01While Hayden's looked after by a childminder,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05the rest of the family choose to watch messages from home together.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08BOTH: Hi, Hayden, Sarah, Max.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You going to say to say hi?
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Hi, Hayden.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Aww!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Hi there! How's things going?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18I hope Australia's meeting all your expectations.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Hello, Max and Sarah. Hello, Rhiannon, Cara and Hayden.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27A good dad, good husband and a very good son.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Sarah's a very dedicated
0:38:29 > 0:38:31and committed member of staff, very enthusiastic.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Really?!
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- I love you guys. - We love you, too, Maya!
0:38:35 > 0:38:37But we're a four.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Yeah.- We're not designed to be a three.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44I'm going to miss Sarah and the kids incredibly,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46and I'm not saying I won't miss Max, but...
0:38:46 > 0:38:48We've been through a lot together.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51I'm sitting here and I can feel myself welling up,
0:38:51 > 0:38:53and I'm going to miss her incredibly.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Gosh.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59There is the one part of you that is wishing them all the best
0:38:59 > 0:39:01and obviously it's going to be a new life.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09But it is going to be a new life for us, as well.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10That's hard to take.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- My dad doesn't get upset. - No.- That's horrible to watch.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17I don't think we could all cope without you. We couldn't do it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Please stay!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21This is your home and, erm...
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Yeah, I don't think I would enjoy anything
0:39:26 > 0:39:29that I do as much if you weren't there, as well.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35We'll miss you both, we'll miss the kids something terrible.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38But if it's what you want to do
0:39:38 > 0:39:41then we certainly won't stand in your way.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Love you loads. Bye.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46You're going to go to Australia,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48and I wish you all the very best
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and I'm delighted for you.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Oh, that was hard, to see Papa upset, wasn't it?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Gee-whiz. That was hard.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Certainly our intention isn't to hurt anybody,
0:40:02 > 0:40:06that's the last thing we want to do in the world.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11But, watching that video, you realise that you are hurting people.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13It's going to be really, really hard
0:40:13 > 0:40:16to leave the people behind that we care about,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18but we need to think of what's best for the family of five.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23I think we've got to do what's best for us as a family, but...
0:40:23 > 0:40:27obviously there's more than five of us in our family.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Sorry...
0:40:34 > 0:40:38For five years, Sarah and Max have dreamt of giving their family
0:40:38 > 0:40:42a new life and believed Australia was the answer.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44But the week's shown the Bones
0:40:44 > 0:40:46that a move to the other side of the world
0:40:46 > 0:40:50will come with a heavy financial and emotional cost.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Will the family decide that's a price worth paying?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02There's no doubt time together this week has had
0:41:02 > 0:41:05a positive impact on everyone.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It's been amazing spending time as a family
0:41:07 > 0:41:10and with Max being here all the time that's been really, really good.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14I can see my mum and Max getting back to the way they used to be,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18even just simple things like them walking arm in arm.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21And it's so nice because they're both so happy.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24But a decision on where the family's future lies
0:41:24 > 0:41:25is anything but clear cut.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28It's been a roller coaster week.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31It's been ups and downs, so much information.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35The financial aspect is concerning, but...
0:41:35 > 0:41:38if you take the risk and it works out, the rewards are huge,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40but if it doesn't work out...
0:41:40 > 0:41:41big risk.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I feel...
0:41:43 > 0:41:48probably more confused now than what I felt before I came out.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50It's been much more difficult,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53making the decision today than I would ever have thought.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57As their final vote approaches,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Rhiannon's just as torn as Sarah and Max.
0:42:00 > 0:42:06Seeing my nana and papa, especially, so upset, it was just horrible.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12It's been a roller coaster of a week, now it's time for the final vote.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Oooooh...
0:42:22 > 0:42:24ALL: Australia!
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Hayden!
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Hayden! What's happened to you?- Undecided?!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Do you want to stay at the beach or do you want to stay at home?
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- I don't know!- You don't know!?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35THEY LAUGH
0:42:36 > 0:42:39It's Australia! I thought youse were undecided.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43I changed two seconds ago because I turned around and saw you
0:42:43 > 0:42:45and Hayden and Cara and the sea.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I was the same - you were standing on the beach,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49I thought, why...?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51You know, life's short.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Life is short, why not take the risk?
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I want to go tomorrow!
0:42:55 > 0:42:57I don't want to go home.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10It's been a life-changing week for the Bones
0:43:10 > 0:43:13and it looks like they're now ready to take the leap
0:43:13 > 0:43:16and start afresh on the other side of the world.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19We wish them all the very best.
