Rebecca Ellis had always dreamt of a move to Australia, inspired by her grandfather’s tales of a beautiful and friendly country. Partner Kylie and her four children wanted to support her, but fears of leaving loved ones and the kids' beloved father behind were foremost in their minds. Could a week in Brisbane help them come round to Rebecca’s way of thinking? Three years since we last caught up with them, where do they call home - Australia or the UK?
