Wilson

Back in 2010 the Wilson family had high hopes of a new life in Australia, and the dream was just within their grasp. But what did they decide to do - stay, or go?

The Wilsons wanted to find out if emigration could offer them a better life. But a move down under inevitably meant leaving loved ones behind. After a trial week in Australia, they were faced with the huge decision of whether to stay in the UK or make the move down under for good.

In 2010 the pretty village of Wilberfoss near York was home to the Wilsons - 36-year-old Chris, Debs (then 35) and their two black labradors Beth and Susie. Chris spent his working life in the RAF and travelled the troubled hotspots of the world. When he left the air force he thought they would settle down. But it wasn't long before Chris came up with the idea that they should move lock, stock and barrel to the other side of the world. While Debbie understood his inner wanderlust only too well, she couldn't bear thinking of leaving loved ones behind to jet off into the unknown.

A trial week in the Gold Coast was full of surprises - good and bad - for the couple. At the end of the week, what way they would vote was by no means certain. What do you think? Let's find out if, seven years later, the Wilsons are living back in the UK or down under in Australia.
