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

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.
