In 2011 the Andrews embarked on their trial week. Two flights, 9,000 miles and 22 hours gave them plenty of time to think about the journey ahead. It was a week that had the potential to change their lives for ever, a long way from their home in Folkstone in Kent.

Melanie and husband Rob shared their happy home with their children Kobi, who was seven, and Lexi, then just three. Mel loved the thought of emigrating, having experienced the lifestyle when she visited on a holiday as a teenager. But if they were going to make the dream a reality they had to move fast, as their Australian visa was close to running out.

But for husband Rob, it was much more complicated. For any move to work he had to decide if he could walk away from the cleaning business he ran with his brother and start all over again. However, there was something even more important than work that Rob would have to leave behind - his close family and friends, in particular his aunt and uncle. With so much at stake, everyone's emotions were running high. Ahead of them was a trial week in Perth to sample the life they could enjoy and afford before facing a huge decision.

So five years later, just where are the Andrews living?
