We quit the UK & for a huge house in sunny Australia – we have a cinema room, 2 spare bedrooms & our first ever garden
The mum gave a tour around the spacious property and said they've got so much more for their money living in Western Australia.

This includes having many luxury amenities they never had before, including a cinema room, ensuite bathrooms, a garden and even a new sofa.
She added that they are renting for now in Alkimos, which is a 30-minute drive outside of Perth.
On her @ourbigaussieleap account, she said: 'Welcome to our new Aussie home!
'Come on in for a little tour — it's still a work in progress but we're slowly turning it into us.
'From UK chaos to WA calm… kind of. Grateful, excited, and already feeling at home in this next chapter.'
The house tour began with their 'absolutely humongous' garage, and the mum said they had also never had one them before so doesn't know what to do with the space.
Next up was her and husband Dan's large bedroom, which comes with an ensuite bathroom.
She added: 'I've never had a walk-in wardrobe, so I'm so excited for that.
'It's absolutely huge so can't wait to fill that with loads of clothes when I go shopping.'
Down the hallway was a utility room with a sink and space for a washing machine.
The top 5 best countries to live in the world for quality of life
One of the best rooms in the house was the 'cinema', although the UK-born mum wasn't sure they'd have much use of it.
She explained: 'They class it as like a cinema room, but we don't really know what to do with this room right now, so it's just an empty space.'
The Aussie home's best feature was the large open plan kitchen/living area - which they had so far added a large sofa to.

The mum continued: 'Managed to pick up a sofa, brand new, so that is a huge sofa.
'Again, never had a brand new sofa, so I'm so excited. It's just amazing to lounge on.'
The space is so large that the mum said she may add a dining room table as she wasn't sure how else to fill it.
The property also has a separate bedroom for their son, a guest room, and another spare room that they may turn into a playroom.
Next, she showed their outdoor space which she hugely appreciates.
She shared: 'We've never had a garden either, so it just feels amazing to have all this outside space.
'Absolutely excited for a washing line. Never had a washing line either.
'It's the simple things in life, isn't it, as an adult, that gets you very excited.'
The mum shared how they managed to emigrate to Australia under a 190 Skilled Nominated Permanent Residency visa as a family of three, with engineer husband Dan working as a plumber.
She added: 'We've never even been to Australia before (yep… call us bold), but we're ready to embrace the sunshine, space, and a fresh start for our little family.'
People were quick to reply to her video, with one saying: 'Lovely house, you'll soon get used to the space, lol!'
Another added: 'looks amazing.... so much room.'
Towns with year-round sunshine offering workers £80,000 a year to move there
TOWNS with year-round sunshine are offering workers £80,000 a year to move there - plus free food and accommodation.
The promotion is designed to attract " fly-in, fly-out" (FIFO) workers to the area - where a key sector is experiencing a significant staff shortage.
The offer is open to those working in childcare to relocate to one of a set of remote settlements in Western Australia.
The towns of Pilbara, Gascoyne, Kimberley and Goldfields are home to a large mining community, working long hours to extract vital metals like iron ore and lithium from the rocky landscape.
Many of the workers there have young families, leading to a huge demand in the area for childcare.
FIFO carers work on a two weeks on, two weeks off basis and, as the acronym suggests, can fly in from the surrounding area to complete their residency.
And accommodation and meals will be provided while on the job - in addition to the pay.
Depending on qualifications, the programme is offering salaries of up to £80,000 (AU$150,000) in a desperate bid to attract workers.

Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake fined $400 in shock airport incident
Two-time Gold Logie winner Hamish Blake recently found himself in an unexpected predicament during a trip to New Zealand, where a routine airport inspection turned into a costly affair. The Lego Masters Australia host, 43, revealed on the Hamish and Andy podcast that he was halted at customs when a suspicious item was detected in his backpack. Hamish recounted the perplexing moment his bag was singled out by an officer. 'My backpack has a lot of compartments – it's actually the world's best backpack,' Hamish joked. 'I'm like, "Listen, you might not be familiar with this particular backpack, where is it? How can I help you? Can I find this thing for you?" He goes, "no, I'll need to do it".' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. To his bemusement, the officer retrieved a small red apple hidden under an emergency rain jacket in the front pouch of his bag. 'Is this yours?' the officer asked, to which Hamish said he humorously responded, 'I've never seen that apple before in my life.' Despite the innocent nature of the mishap, he was slapped with a hefty $400 fine by Biosecurity New Zealand. The comedian speculated the apple may have inadvertently found its way into his bag during a previous trip to South Africa. Reflecting on the incident, he shared his disbelief at the consequences of what he dubbed an 'accidental apple mishap.' Despite the fine and the incident now on his record, Hamish maintained his trademark humour, joking about the apple's international journey and its unintended role as a gift to the people of NZ. Hamish has been nominated for a Gold Logie this year for his presenting work on Lego Masters Australia. It comes after a surprise frontrunner emerged in the race to take out the coveted Gold Logie at this year's TV WEEK Logie Awards. Beloved Home and Away star Lynne McGranger, 72, is now the clear favourite to win Australian television's top prize, after a wave of public support and sentimental backing for her 33-year run as Irene Roberts on the long-running soap. According to betting giant Sportsbet, McGranger has stormed into the lead with odds of just $1.37 – far ahead of her nearest rivals. She's now well ahead of A Current Affair's Ally Langdon ($5.00), LEGO Masters host Hamish Blake ($8.50), ABC presenter Lisa Millar ($10.00), and comedian Julia Morris ($11.00). Meanwhile, MasterChef Australia star Poh Ling Yeow sits at $13.00, while 2023 Gold Logie winner Sonia Kruger has blown out to $17.00. The veteran actress, who earlier this year announced her departure from Home and Away, is being widely tipped to take home the Gold as a touching send-off from viewers. At the ceremony, beloved rocker Jimmy Barnes is set to take the stage at The Star Sydney on August 3, bringing four decades of fan-favourite hits to Aussie ears. Meanwhile, comedian Sam Pang will host the event for the third time. Sam's cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV's A-list, as well as a major ratings winner for Seven. The ceremony will be available to watch from 7:00pm on Sunday, August 3 on Seven and 7Plus. 65th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS NOMINATIONS TV WEEK GOLD LOGIE – Most Popular Personality on Australian Television Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, 9Network Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Lisa Millar - Back Roads, ABC News Breakfast, Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now, Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, ABC Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network Poh Ling Yeow - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Ricki-Lee - Australian Idol, Seven Network Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Todd Woodbridge - Tipping Point Australia, Australian Open, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, 9Network Zan Rowe - Take 5 With Zan Rowe, ABC New Year's Eve, ABC Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent Guy Montgomery - Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee, ABC Hailey Pinto - Home and Away, Seven Network Jenny Tian - Taskmaster Australia, Network 10 Kate Miller-Heidke - The Voice, Seven Network Kylah Day - Territory, Netflix Sofia Levin - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Presenter Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, 9Network David Speers - Insiders, ABC Michael Usher - 7NEWS, 7NEWS Spotlight, Seven Network Peter Overton - 9News, 9Network Sarah Ferguson - 7.30, ABC Tara Brown - 60 Minutes, Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson, 9Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Drama Lloyd Griffith - Return To Paradise, ABC Michael Dorman - Territory, Netflix Robert Taylor - Territory, Netflix Sam Corlett - Territory, Netflix Sam Neill - The Twelve, BINGE / FOXTEL Tai Hara - Return To Paradise, ABC TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Drama Alycia Debnam-Carey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Anna Samson - Return To Paradise, ABC Anna Torv - Territory, Netflix Ayesha Madon - Heartbreak High, Netflix Kaitlyn Dever - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Aaron Chen - Fisk, ABC Ben Miller - Austin, ABC Clancy Brown - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Luke Cook - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Michael Theo - Austin, ABC Patrick Brammall - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Harriet Dyer - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Jenna Owen - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan Kitty Flanagan - Fisk, ABC Leighton Meester - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Sally Phillips, Austin - ABC Vic Zerbst - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actor Ashley Zukerman - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Darren Gilshenan - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Glenn Butcher - Fisk, ABC Mark Coles Smith - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Matt Nable - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Sam Delich - Territory, Netflix TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actress Aisha Dee - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Chloé Hayden - Heartbreak High, Netflix Julia Zemiro - Fisk, ABC Marg Downey - The Newsreader, ABC Michelle Lim Davidson - The Newsreader, ABC Tilda Cobham-Hervey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Best Drama Program Bump - Stan Heartbreak High - Netflix Return To Paradise - ABC Territory - Netflix The Newsreader - ABC The Twelve - BINGE / FOXTEL Best Miniseries or Telemovie Apple Cider Vinegar - Netflix Critical Incident - Stan Fake - Paramount+ How To Make Gravy - BINGE / FOXTEL Human Error - 9Network Plum - ABC Best Entertainment Program ABC New Year's Eve - ABC Australian Idol - Seven Network Countdown 50 Years On - ABC Dancing With The Stars - Seven Network The Voice - Seven Network Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight - 9Network Best Current Affairs Program 60 Minutes - 9Network 7.30 - ABC 7NEWS Spotlight - Seven Network A Current Affair - 9Network Australian Story - ABC Four Corners - ABC Best Scripted Comedy Program Austin - ABC Colin From Accounts - BINGE / FOXTEL Fisk - ABC Good Cop/Bad Cop - Stan Melbourne International Comedy Festival - ABC Optics - ABC Best Comedy Entertainment Program Gruen - ABC Hard Quiz - ABC Have You Been Paying Attention?

Katie Price admits she uses Google search to keep track of her kids' birthdays - after she got daughter Princess' big day WRONG
Katie Price has admitted that she uses Google to remind her of her children's birthday - after she got daughter Princess' big day wrong. The former glamour model, 47, is a mum of five, with each of her children from different chapters of her life. Her firstborn, Harvey, 22, is from her previous relationship with former footballer Dwight Yorke, while she shares her eldest daughter, Princess, 17, and son, Junior, 19, with her ex-husband, singer Peter Andre. She later welcomed two more children - Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10 - with her second ex-husband, Kieran Hayler. During a new interview, Katie joined her friend Kerry Katona to chat about their upcoming UK tour. While speaking candidly, the mum-of-five admitted that she struggles to remember her children's big days. Katie Price has admitted that she uses Google to remind her of her children's birthday - after she got daughter Princess' big day wrong The former glamour model, 47, is a mum of five, with each of her children from different chapters of her life (pictured with daughter Princess, 18) She told The Sun: 'Quite often if I need to remember something I think, let me Google it. 'If I have to fill out a form and do the kids' dates of births, I Google it.' It comes after Katie was left humiliated after being forced to delete her 18th birthday tribute to daughter Princess last month. The star took to her Instagram Stories to mark the milestone, but her kind words came 48 hours too early. Katie posted a sweet snap of young Princess, who turns 18 on Sunday, and gushed: 'Happy 18th birthday to the most amazing daughter and my best friend @princess_andre I love you so much'. The post was then swiftly taken down before the mum-of-five, who is currently in Dubai, replaced it with another snap of the birthday girl. She wrote: '2 days until Princess turns 18 can't believe it xx'. Elsewhere, Princess has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in recent years and proudly revealed she's bought her first car with her own money.

'She knows she's still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she's protected and well looked after. 'The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it's naturally a great fit for both parties.' Her mother Katie started modelling at the age of 17 as a fresh-faced natural beauty. Since her first brand deal, Princess has gone on to attend events work work with other fashion and beauty brands including White Fox and Boots.
