Williams Family
Families consider relocating down under. After falling for Australia in his twenties, dad Martyn is desperate to return. But can his family be convinced?
Martyn has dreamt of returning to Australia ever since a car crash cut his trip down under short when he was just 22. Three months into his stay, the campervan he was travelling in went out of control and flipped, throwing him and his friends out of the soft roof. Martyn took the greatest force and broke his back in the process - forcing him to spend months in hospital before returning to the UK.
After recovering for over a year, Martyn met his wife Leona and they started a family. But the Australian dream never went away. Now over 20 years later and with three children in tow, Martyn's desperate to finally make the move.
All he needs to do is persuade Leona to leave behind close family, a beautiful home and the good life they have worked hard to build in the UK. He already has Joshua on side, but the rest of the family need convincing too - and as he nears the cut-off age for visas Martyn knows this really is his last chance.
Will a trial week in Adelaide be enough to secure him the future he longs for, or will he be forced to bury the dream once and for all?

Williams family update
We caught up with the Williams family late last year. They are still living in the UK and the dream of a life in Australia finally seems to be over.
They have decided to stay in the UK, and in fact are selling the house they built - to do it all again! They are now looking for an old house to knock down and build their second home and start to put the family roots firmly down in their new dream home.
