Dennett Family

Episode 8 of 20

Series in which families try out life overseas. A mum wants to move to Australia, but her husband is set on somewhere closer to home.

With dad Wayne spending the last five years working in Afghanistan for months at a time, the Dennett family is determined to spend more time together. Mum Karen's become exhausted juggling work with bringing up the children and believes Australia's the perfect place to make a new start. But Wayne thinks the answer lies much closer to home - his preferred option would be to move to Cornwall.

When the family spends a trial period living in Western Australia's capital city Perth, Karen has just one week to persuade her husband it's where the family should be living. But will the country and what it has to offer win Wayne round, or will Karen's dream of a life in Australia bite the dust forever?
