Will a trial week in Adelaide be enough to secure the life Rehan dreams of?

Families consider relocating down under. Will a trial week in Adelaide be enough to persuade Rehan's wife Tanya to follow his dream?

Ever since his twin sister emigrated to Sydney, Rehan Farooq has longed to follow in her footsteps. Now a dad to two young children, he is more convinced than ever that his family should make the move too. But having relocated ten times in the last 14 years because of Rehan's job, his wife Tanya thinks Australia could be a step too far. Currently living round the corner from her parents, she worries about leaving them behind and taking their only grandchildren away from them.

A trial week in Adelaide sees Rehan reunited with his sister and gives the family a glimpse of what life down under would be like. Will it be enough to make Rehan's Australian dream come true, or will it leave Tanya convinced home is where the heart is?
