When Jodi Wilson had her fourth child, she and her partner, Daniel, had their lives sorted. 

He had a well-paid Sydney job, and they were a heartbeat away from putting down a home deposit. But somehow, things holding together for a family of five fell apart for a family of six. 

Their choice: keep going or trade in their home deposit and 90% of their belongings for a caravan? How did a family of six turn their back on the rat race and never return?
