Ireland Family
Series in which families try out life overseas. Teenager Bea is desperate to spend more time with her hard-working parents and believes Australia's the solution.
The Ireland family agree they need to spend more time together - the only question is where in the world to spend it. With mum Nerys and dad Steve working around the clock, teenager Bea's become convinced Australia could offer a better work/life balance and an improved quality of life. Nerys and Steve, however, aren't convinced.
Bea's mission to persuade her parents to move down under gets off to a rocky start in Melbourne when the family discover their property budget won't go far in a large city. Work prospects and a day sampling Australia's lifestyle are more promising - but will that be enough to win Bea's mum and dad around?
