The Australian Dream has become a reality for many young Brits in recent years as they go in search of a “better” life.
Wales reporter Charlie Buckland experienced this herself when her sister, Chanel, left three years ago.
Chanel says people often underestimate the challenges of such a move and, as the nation grapples with its own cost of living crisis, questions have been raised about whether it is as glossy as it appears on people’s Instagram posts.
The Australian Dream originated after World War Two and coincides with the “Ten Pound Poms” of the 1950s when Brits moved down under with the promise of a home, new job prospects and a greater quality of life.
