0:01:39 > 0:01:42You'd say, "That's bonzer, mate!"
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- ALL:- That's bonzer, mate!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now, try this one. "G'day, mate."
0:01:48 > 0:01:50G'day, mate.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54That's bonzer! You're really getting the hang of it now.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Hello. You're new, aren't you?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yes. This is Carrie the Cockatoo.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10She's here on a visit from Australia.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14She's been teaching us how to speak Australian.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18And we thought we might ask her to tell us a story.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh, yes, please. Do you know any good ones?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25I sure do, mate. I've got a very good one, actually.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29It's all about... Well, why don't I just tell it to ya?
0:02:31 > 0:02:35This is the story of The Big Billabong Wave.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42It was the start of another long, hot day in the Outback.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Same old billabong.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Same old games.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Why's there never anything new to do round here?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53THEY ALL GROAN, CARRIE SQUAWKS
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Look! There's Carrie the Cockatoo. - I thought she was on holiday.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Let's go talk to her.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Hey! Carrie!
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Yoo-hoo!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Oh, hi!
0:03:06 > 0:03:11'I was quite tired after my long flight from the seaside.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15'But Joey and his friends wouldn't let me go till I told them
0:03:15 > 0:03:17'all about my trip.'
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And then, we had a beautiful barbie on the beach,
0:03:20 > 0:03:25and went fishing on the reef, and best of all, it was the surfing.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Oh, yeah. Surfing - I've heard of that.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30What is it, again?
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Well, there's a giant wave, and you ride on it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37On top of the wave!
0:03:37 > 0:03:42You stand on a little wooden board and can do all these fancy tricks,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and ride along above the sea. That's surfing!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- ALL:- Wow!
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- I want to go surfing! - And me!- Me, too!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So, what are we waiting for?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55But...I don't think you can surf here!
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You need waves!
0:03:58 > 0:04:04Er, Jimmy... You can't use a rock as a surfboard.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06You'll sink!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10SHE CHUCKLES
0:04:10 > 0:04:12This is more like it.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16SHE MUTTERS NERVOUSLY
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Uh-oh!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Do I look like a surfboard?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24HE TITTERS
0:04:26 > 0:04:27< Hey!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Look at this!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Perfect!
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Me first!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36HE SIGHS
0:04:36 > 0:04:39We'd better practice on dry land.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Wahey!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's easy!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Yeah, when there's no REAL waves. Me next!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Woo-hoo!
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Now me! Now me!
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Whoo... Whoa... Aaargh!
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Joey discovered balancing on the surfboard wasn't easy.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12HE CHUCKLES
0:05:12 > 0:05:16But eventually, with lots of practice,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18they all got the hang of it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Now, there was only one problem left.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Where are all the waves?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27There were no waves on the billabong.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It was just big and flat.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Joey and his friends were very disappointed.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37DIDGERIDOO MUSIC PLAYS
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Hey, it's Wally Two-Trees.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Ah!
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- WALLY:- Have you never heard of the big billabong wave?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Then, it's time you did.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Many, many years ago, when the world was still young,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02there came from the billabong a great wave.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06The big billabong wave.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07ALL: Wow!
0:06:07 > 0:06:12A HUGE wave, taller than a tree.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Wow!
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Wow, indeed. It was the biggest wave anyone had ever seen!
0:06:18 > 0:06:23From time to time, they say the big wave comes back...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26to this very billabong.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29ALL: Woo-hoo!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Let's go and find it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35It may be a very long time before the next wave.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38That's all right, Mr Two-Trees.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- We'll wait all morning if that's what it takes.- Remember, Joey,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46all good things come to those who wait.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Er, yeah. Nice one. Bye!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Can you see it yet? I'm going in first.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Won't be long now.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59At first, Joey and his friends waited patiently.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02JOEY HUMS A TUNE
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It'll be along soon, I guess.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Yeah, any moment now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14But after a while, Phoebe got bored.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15SHE SIGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:20I thought Carrie said surfing was fun!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I'm going home. Might climb a few gum trees.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Want to come?- No, thanks. Think I'll stick around a bit longer.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Yeah, me too. I'm going to ride that wave.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Then Jimmy got bored, too.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Oh, Phoebe's right. Surfing is boring.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I think I'll go and hang out with the triplets. Coming?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46No, thanks. I'll give it a bit longer.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- Mr Two-Trees did say we had to try and be patient.- Suit yourself.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55He waited and waited, and then he waited some more.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00But Joey wasn't bored. In fact, the more time he spent by the billabong,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03the more he liked it.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Ah!
0:08:04 > 0:08:05BIRDS TWEET
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's really beautiful here, and SO peaceful.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Ahh! Jimmy and Phoebe don't know what they're missing.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22But I'd still like to ride that big billabong wave, just once.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28All good things come to those who wait.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31# Hey, a-hum, hey, ho
0:08:31 > 0:08:32# Come, wind
0:08:32 > 0:08:34# Come, wind
0:08:34 > 0:08:36# Blow, blow
0:08:36 > 0:08:39# Big billabong wave
0:08:39 > 0:08:43# Flow, flow
0:08:43 > 0:08:45# Hey, a-hum, hey, ho
0:08:45 > 0:08:47# Come, wind, come. #
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Ooh!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Where did that wind come from?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Ohh!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- ALL:- Come on, Jimmy. Your turn.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01HE WHIMPERS
0:09:03 > 0:09:06# Hey, a-hum, hey, ho #
0:09:06 > 0:09:08That's quite a wind!
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Gee! The big billabong wave!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20I never guessed the big billabong wave would be as big as this.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Ha-ha! You can do it, Joey!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Here goes.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Ah! It's fantastic!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36What's going on?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41There was a big storm, and we got worried about Joey.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Where is he?- He's out there, on the big billabong wave.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48PHOEBE & JIMMY: On the big billabong wave?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Well, then, what are you waiting for?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Big billabong waves don't last forever, you know.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Woo-hoo!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00THEY ALL CHEER
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Wait for me!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04THEY CHEER EXCITEDLY
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Wa-hey!- Yippee!- Wheee!- Woo-hoo!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15And so, we surfed and surfed
0:10:15 > 0:10:20until the sun went down, and the big billabong wave was no more.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Wow! What a "bonzer" story.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Wish- I- could go surfing Down Under.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Er-hm. Yes, but not tonight.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33I think a certain young lady should head for somewhere nearer home.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Where's that, mate?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Nelson means it's my bedtime.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I suppose I am quite tired.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41SHE YAWNS
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Good night, Carrie.- Good night.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47ANIMALS: Sweet dreams!
