Series 12: 6. Newton Family
The Newton family need to decide where their long-term future lies. For mum Nicola, it's the romance of Australia. But dad Mark is a lot more cautious. On this and many other matters, they are proof that opposites attract! But it is more often than not working for them as the couple are very happy living in Bradford in West Yorkshire.\n\nAs an ex holiday rep, travelling is an itch Nicola is always wanting to scratch. But falling in love with Mark put an end to her wanderlust dreams. Not that it mattered to begin with, as a year after meeting Mark twins Emily and Harrison were born. Busy and fulfilled new mum Nicola was more than content with her lot.\n\nIt soon became clear something wasn't right when daughter Emily's development was slower than her brother Harrison's. When Emily was a year old, Mark and Nicola were told she had cerebral palsy. It was a blow at the time, but the way Emily has made progress has been inspirational. The warm UK summers helped her greatly, so much so Nicola's long-held dream has been resurrected. With promises of a warm year-long climate, her dream of living in Australia is back on the agenda.\n\nNicola has managed to get Emily and Harrison on her side, but as the breadwinner, dad Mark is much more cautious about moving his family across the world. He knows only too well how difficult gaining visas is with a child with special needs. But Nicola is a mum on a mission and is determined to show them all that living in Perth would allow all four of them to live their lives to the full.\n\nA trial week in Perth sees the Newton family experience the lifestyle that could transform their young daughter's life. Will the experience be enough for Mark to throw caution to the warm Perth wind?
