Back in 2014 the Bones were struggling to balance work and family life. They believed Australia could be the answer, and a trial week down under didn’t disappoint - they had the time of their lives. But when making the big decision, things weren’t as easy as they’d hoped. Was the dream over before it had even started? Five years later, Nicki finds out whether the family chose to make the final move down under or stay put in bonnie Scotland.
