Veronica and Bryce are up to their necks in nappies, finding homes for two very different families in two different states. Bryce is on the hunt for a couple of urban hippies in Noosa's spectacular hinterland. Chad and Tahlia are loved-up first-time buyers looking for a tree change so baby daughter Venice can be closer to her grandparents. Problem is, it's got to have the right 'vibe', and Bryce has got to dig deep to find his inner hippie. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Veronica's on a multimillion-dollar hunt on Sydney's exclusive lower North Shore. She's trying to find the dream home for a blended family of seven, but big budgets mean big wish lists, and like kids in a candy store, this couple wants more, more, more.

Bryce and Veronica are trekking the Victorian countryside in search of two couples' patch of paradise, but the quest for the simple life proves to be no walk in the park. Bryce is helping new parents Ben and Lena find a home in the Macedon Ranges, but they'll need to make a few compromises if they're ever going to make their country dream a reality. Meanwhile, Veronica is helping out newlyweds Erin and Allan with their tree change to the Dandenong Ranges. Only problem is, Erin wants a timber house in the treetops and Allan wants a brick house in the suburbs. They are poles apart, so Veronica has a lot of ground to cover if she's going to maintain the harmony in this home.

Max and Mariella have been planning to relocate to Bryon Bay since the birth of their daughter Ruby. As successful property developers, an ambitious build shouldn't be a problem - but handing over control to a local building team is harder than they thought. From the outset they make fundamental changes to the design, making it a headache for the builder and for Max. Something has to give - especially when the bank learns the house they're loaning money on isn't quite the house being built.

Was the spirit of competition, the urge to go head-to-head, the sole reserve of men in the mid-20th Century? In the 1950s and 60s, two women joined the fray. Two women with a shared name: Jacqueline. One passion: aviation. One goal: to become the world's fastest woman. The American Jacqueline Cochran became the first woman to break the sound barrier at the controls of a Sabre F-86. But her record was soon snatched by Jacqueline Auriol, the daughter-in-law of the French president, who became the first European woman to break the sound barrier, and went on to become France's first woman test pilot. Using state-of-the-art CGI imagery to recreate their flying feats, this documentary retraces the history of these daring record attempts in the post-war period, with each triumph bringing prestige to their respective countries. Their extraordinary supersonic duel lasted 15 years, and saw both Jacquelines write their names in aviation history.
