Are the Stirks prepared to suffer the financial and emotional costs of moving to NZ?

However, for the Stirks, moving to New Zealand won't come without paying a very high price - both financially and emotionally. So, after a week experiencing the highs and lows of life down under, is it one the family are willing to pay?
