Bennett Family

Episode 10 of 24

Series in which families try out life overseas. Will Charlie be able to convince his whole family Australia is the ideal location for a new beginning?

Up until five years ago, life was plain sailing for Charlie and Stephanie Bennett and their family. Since then, the couple have suffered a series of tragic events, the latest being when their daughter Chloe had to undergo open heart surgery when she was just 16 days old.

Determined to give his children the best life possible, Charlie believes his long-held dream to emigrate to Australia could be the answer. But not everyone in the family is so keen to make the move. Son Max worries about leaving his friends behind, and for Stephanie, emigrating could mean saying goodbye to her grandparents for the last time.

With none of the family having set foot in Australia before, will a trial week spent living in Queensland see the country live up to Charlie's expectations? And will he be able to convince his whole family it's the ideal location for a new beginning?
