Mum Helen believes Australia could transform their family life for the better.

Series in which families try out life overseas. Mum Helen believes a fresh start in Australia could provide what the Holroyds need to transform their family life.

Life's hard on the Holroyds. Dad Simon's working week starts at 2.45am on Monday morning and doesn't finish until after 8.00pm on Friday night. When he does eventually get home, he's too tired to spend any quality time with his family.
