Pinnock Family
Series in which families try out life overseas. Desperate to return home, an Australian woman hopes a trial week spent living in Perth will convince her husband.
Series in which families test drive their dreams with a trial week in Australia or New Zealand before making the biggest decision of their lives - whether to move to the other side of the world or remain in the UK.
Australian-born Erin Pinnock moved to the UK when she was just 13, and since meeting her husband Chris at college she has been clear about her desire to return to the country she calls home.
Chris, however, can't bear the thought of leaving his family behind in the UK, including his twin brother. Will a trial week spent living in Perth be enough to change his mind? Or will Erin's hopes of a permanent homecoming be dashed for good?

Update on the Pinnock family
For the time being, the Pinnocks are staying in the UK, as Chris feels his career prospects are better at home than they would be in Australia.
Their week down under showed both Erin and Chris however that family in Australia is just as important as family here, and Chris has agreed they'll travel down under at least once a year if they can afford it. The couple are due to visit Perth again in April 2015.
Erin still feels it's just a case of 'when' and not 'if' the family will emigrate. She hopes that if Chris does well at work, it will mean they have more money to put towards a move in the future.
