Growing up, Rebecca Ellis listened to dashing, sea-faring tales at her grandfather's knee of the beauty and excitement of the South Seas and Australia. Captivating the young Rebecca, she has been determined to move there ever since. But now a mum with four young children and new partner Kylie, she knows she has to get all the family on board if a move is to happen. And that won't be easy. Emigrating will mean the children having to say goodbye to their much-loved dad and leave him behind in Sunderland. \n\nA trial week in Brisbane will help Rebecca, Kylie and family sample the sort of life they could lead and afford if they were to move. Then we will ask them to vote, once and for all, as to where their future lies. Will it be Australia or the UK? Rebecca knows that any decision has to be unanimous. So, will the family buy into Rebecca's fairy tale - or will she see her dream sink without trace?
