A year on from an encouraging trial week in Melbourne, and with their young daughter's cancer in remission, have Garry and Michelle Simpson moved down under?

Garry and Michelle Simpson were set to move their family to Australia when their four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer. In 2014, with Fraja's cancer in remission, the family was keen to make a fresh start down under.

After an encouraging trial week in Melbourne, emotional messages from friends and family back home reminded the Simpsons of all the people they would be leaving behind in the UK. One year on, have they made the journey to the other side of the world?
