About this episode

How far would you go to get home during a global pandemic if you lived overseas and had a newborn?

Carly McCrossin was heavily pregnant with her daughter when the pandemic hit, so there was no way she could get home. 

Now her baby is born, she really wants to return to Australia. 

She and 300 families are trying to charter a 'baby plane' to get a plane load of babies back to Australia.
