0:00:02 > 0:00:03To find out why I'm in the sheep pen
0:00:03 > 0:00:06trying to shave the wool off one of these, keep watching. Come here!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Ed giving a sheep a haircut?! Baaaaaa!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'Wool', let's see what we've knitted together for you in today's show.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16- There is Ian and his new pal... - Mine won't even look me in the eye.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Naomi,
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- Cel...- Waaaaaaaah!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- A very cheery Katie...- What are you doing here, you old galah?
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Johnny,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Michelle and a sleepy Sam and Mark.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26I don't know about you,
0:00:26 > 0:00:30but this koala needs a good 20 hours a day or I'm good for nothing.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36# All over the place
0:00:37 > 0:00:38# All over the place
0:00:39 > 0:00:42# North, south, east, west On a bizarre quest
0:00:42 > 0:00:44# Me and my mates, all over the place!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47# It's true what you've heard, everything is absurd
0:00:47 > 0:00:50# Whatever we do is strange but true!
0:00:50 > 0:00:51# All over the place
0:00:52 > 0:00:53# All over the place
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# There's stuff to do down under that is totally ace
0:00:57 > 0:00:59# And it turns up...
0:00:59 > 0:01:00# ..all over the place! #
0:01:02 > 0:01:05The first stop today is Brisbane in Queensland,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08which is the third-largest city in Australia.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14- No, never going to happen.- Come on. - Not in a million years, mate.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Just a little one. I won't tell anyone and there's no-one around.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Tell you what, if you tell no-one about this, on you go.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Great. Come to Eddie Bear.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Ed, have you been eating stilton?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- No.- Want to tell me what's happening here?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31All will be revealed. All will be revealed.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Want to reveal it in the next
0:01:32 > 0:01:35few seconds? Cos this is getting pretty awkward.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Look, we're just two friends hugging it out, spreading the love.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Voiceover man, help me out, it stinks of cheese in here.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Don't panic, Ian, Ed is just practising for koala hugs
0:01:46 > 0:01:49at this sanctuary in Brisbane, which was the first in the world
0:01:49 > 0:01:54and is also the largest. Over 130 cute koalas are cared for here
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and I bet they like nothing more than a soppy cuddle.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So you've definitely come to the right place, Ed.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Hello, Karen.- Hello. How are you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Who is this?- Gandalf.- Wow!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Like the wizard. - He is a bit of a wizard.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11He's even more chilled out than Gandalf.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14They spend between 18 and 20 hours a day fast asleep.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Wha?!- That is most of the time. - That is most of the time.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19What they do when they're awake?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Rest of the time is mainly spent eating.- They just eat this stuff?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Just eucalyptus leaves. - That's all they eat?- That's all.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29I have not heard many people say "koala bear" since I've been here.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32No, they're not bears, they're marsupials.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Yeah, he didn't like that, did he?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Gandalf has put a curse on me.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40We weigh them once every two weeks to make sure
0:02:40 > 0:02:43they are maintaining a healthy weight like Gandalf.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Then when they're babies,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47we're making sure they are growing at a healthy rate.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- How much does he weigh, then? - Let's have a look.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Watch him now spring into action. - Spring into action.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's the most he has done all day.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58He is actually over seven kilos.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00For Gandalf, that is his normal weight
0:03:00 > 0:03:03so he is maintaining a really healthy weight.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05So Gandalf the guzzler weighs...
0:03:08 > 0:03:09That's a juicy fact.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12What we are fishing for, Karen, is can we hug one?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Well...- I've been practising, look.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Get off of me. He's been in the sun too long.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I think we can arrange a little cuddle for you guys from a koala.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- That'll be great.- Well, boys, you may have a long wait on your hands.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28They'll be fast asleep. Ssssh.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Baby koalas, or joeys, as they are known, stay
0:03:33 > 0:03:37in their mothers' pouches for around six months and drink only milk.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40- After that they ride around on their mums' backs.- Hello.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43This little girl that you are holding is Coco.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Hello, Coco.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Over there we have Beck.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Look at this, look.- There we go.- Aw.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Mine won't even look me in the eye.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Isn't this one of the cutest things that's ever happened to you?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I don't think mine likes me very much. Hello?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Again, I say this all the time, but only on this TV show.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm sat cuddling a koala.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Which is completely ignoring you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08What an intelligent creature.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11These people do a great job giving these koalas constant care
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- and attention.- Yeah. Glad the role is not reversed.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm not sure I want a koala looking after me.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Funny you should say that, Ed!
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Right, nurse, what have we got here?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Adult human, probably male, picked up an injury
0:04:24 > 0:04:26while marking its territory.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28My goodness, he's wiped his scent gland clean off.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Call for the plastic surgeon.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32No, Doctor, they don't have scent glands.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34They mark their territory with fences.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- He fell off a ladder while putting one up.- Huh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Why don't they just use the sticky gland on their chest like we do,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41this is the 21st century.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44I know, Doctor, they are very dumb creatures.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47But they do look cute while sleeping.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Actually, they don't do it very often.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Humans average about eight hours per day.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55The poor little mite must be exhausted.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56I don't know about you, nurse,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59but this koala needs a good 20 hours a day or I am good for nothing.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01SNORING
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Nurse!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Sorry, Doctor. Must've dozed off there.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- What were you saying? - SNORING
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Doctor!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Sorry about that, I must have dozed off. Right, what was it?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Straightforward neutering? - No, he fell off a fence.- Of course.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Must've been a nasty fall as well, look at this,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20he seems to have lost a thumb off each hand.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24- No, humans only have one thumb on each hand.- No wonder he fell off.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Climbing those eucalyptus trees to get food must be an absolute
0:05:27 > 0:05:30nightmare without two thumbs on each hand.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32No, Doctor, humans don't eat eucalyptus.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36They have a varied diet of meat and vegetation, which in theory means
0:05:36 > 0:05:39they have more energy than us, but I don't see it, do you, Doctor?
0:05:39 > 0:05:40SNORING
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Doctor! Doctor!
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Sorry about that nurse, must have dozed off. Back to this neutering.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Fall!- Right. Where's my stethoscope?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's here... Oh...
0:05:52 > 0:05:56For goodness sake, that pouch is for babies, not equipment.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Yes, sorry, Doctor. It is a bit more mucus-ey than I remember.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Nurse, no time for that, look, he's coming around.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Just lie back, my friend, you may have concussion.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07No, I'm fine, where am I?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10You are being looked after by two highly trained koalas
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- in medical uniforms. - You're right, I have got concussion.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16This man really does need our help.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Nurse, there is not a moment to lose.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Nurse!
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Don't worry, little fellow,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I'll have you back to good health in no time -
0:06:24 > 0:06:26even if I have to work through the...
0:06:26 > 0:06:29SNORING
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Ed? What are you up to?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Hi, Naomi, just hanging loose, checking out these gnarly waves.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- That guy's ripping it up. - He is pretty good, I guess.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I didn't realise you were a surfer.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Just one of the many talents I keep hidden under my surf singlet.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Just wax up my board and I'm good to go.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I don't think you have to wax up a body board.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03You need a real surfboard and maybe one that's not hot pink.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Just a suggestion.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm going to go out there
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- and show these grannies who is boss. - What's a granny?- It's a young surfer.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- No, that's a grommy.- You need to get down with the surf lingo.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Eat my surf, grannies, and eat it good!
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Actually, Ed, Naomi was right. A young surfer is called a grommy.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27A surfer's collection of surfboards is called a quiver,
0:07:27 > 0:07:30which is a useful fact to know because...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Gavin, I know this probably isn't obvious
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- but I haven't actually spent a lot of time surfing.- Really?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51What should I be looking for with a board?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Are you looking to look cool or do you actually want to surf?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- I just want to look cool. - There's plenty to choose from.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03This is about a quarter of my collection, so just have a look
0:08:03 > 0:08:04and see what you like.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Surfing comes from Hawaii and was first popular with fishermen
0:08:08 > 0:08:11who wanted to go back to shore quickly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Love the colours on this one, bit of pink for the girls.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Could be the case, but that board was actually shaped by a guy called
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Michael Peterson, who's possibly the most iconic Australian surfer ever.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28If you guys want to master surfing,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31you are going to need to learn some of the lingo.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Gavin, I think you need to look after your collection better
0:08:46 > 0:08:47because this one is covered in bird poo.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- That's actually wax you use on a surfboard.- Oh, right, yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I was using some of that earlier.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Yeah, yeah.- What's it for again?
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- Just to help you stay on the board, stops you slipping.- That's right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- That's a conventional way of using this.- Yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Is it possible there is anyone on the planet who knows
0:09:08 > 0:09:11less about surfing than Ed?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Let's find out.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Hello and welcome to the most fantastic and amazing and amazingly
0:09:21 > 0:09:24fantastic game show about surfing in the history of the world ever -
0:09:24 > 0:09:27All Over The Place Wipeout.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Now, you may look like a weak and feeble person...- Oi!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35..but you need to toughen up because this game is about surfing prowess.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37There's one rule.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'll ask you three questions,
0:09:39 > 0:09:44you must paddle on the surfboard at all times, and you must stay still.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46That's three rules.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49How am I supposed to paddle and stay still?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Sssshh!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Start paddling.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58The first written account of surfing
0:09:58 > 0:10:01was given by Captain James Cook when?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03A) last week,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05B) 1778
0:10:05 > 0:10:07or C) 1779?
0:10:07 > 0:10:101779.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14That's way out - it was B) 1778.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Next question, keep paddling. Stay still.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26A surfer who leads with his right foot is called A) Goofy footed,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28B) Mickey Mouse footed or
0:10:28 > 0:10:30C) Right footed?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Goofy footed.- Is correct.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33What's the score, Gavin?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36One!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43The first official surfing contest took place where?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46A) Gavin's backyard. Been there, it's lovely!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48B) California or
0:10:48 > 0:10:50C) Sunny Scotland?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52California.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Is correct. Well done, Naomi.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57You've won...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59this wax. You've won some wax.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Now go and wax up those surfboards.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Wax them!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Now the biggest rock star in Australia!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Are you ready to rock? Aaaaaaaaaah!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Let me guess.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Voiceover man said we are going to see the biggest rock star
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- in Australia, so you came dressed for the occasion, Ed?- Yes. I did.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32I can't believe you didn't.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35The biggest rock star is going to think you're a right loser.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Ah, so you don't think when he said biggest "rock" star
0:11:38 > 0:11:40he meant that over there, do you?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh dear. You could have been a bit more specific!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47But then you wouldn't have worn the sunglasses and a wig
0:11:47 > 0:11:50and looked really silly.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54So, this was called Ayers Rock by the first European to see it in 1873
0:11:54 > 0:11:57but its actual name is Uluru.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's what the aboriginal people
0:11:59 > 0:12:02who have lived here for at least 10,000 years call it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Uluru is a very sacred place to these traditional owners
0:12:06 > 0:12:10of the rock and they have their own beliefs on how it was created...
0:12:16 > 0:12:18It is part of an old seabed.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20This area used to be under water.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Ed and Johnny, you have 40 seconds
0:12:26 > 0:12:29to find out as much as you can about Uluru.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Johnny, you have Vanessa, who is a park ranger here.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Ed, you have John, who knows all about Uluru.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner. 3-2-1, go!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- What are the traditional owners of Uluru called?- Anangu.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Why is it red?- It's red because
0:12:48 > 0:12:51the sandstone has weathered and it has oxidised or rusted.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Why is Uluru important to the Anangu?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58It's because the essence of their ancestors is recorded there.
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Does it ever change colour?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Yes, in the mornings it's pinky purple,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05throughout the day it's brown and at sunset it's a deep red.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- So are these stories?- They are stories, legends, songs.- Songs? OK.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14What kind of songs, like this? # Uluru, it's a lovely rock. #
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Mmmm, not those kind of songs.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Not those kind of songs, OK.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20What time will sunset be today, because I want to see it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22- Sunset is about 6:26pm. - 6:26, I'll...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24HOOTER BLOWS
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Oh!- Sorry.- I think we did well. I think we will beat them.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Put it there. Yes.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The winner is...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Ed!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Yes!- Pipped by the Petrie again! - I rock!
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Actually, Ed, the person who really rocks at Uluru is Sammy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41He's one of the Anangu -
0:13:41 > 0:13:45the traditional owners of Uluru and Sammy is going
0:13:45 > 0:13:49to show you both some aboriginal hunting skills, using spears.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Look at that. That looks lethal.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It can take a whole day to make one spear.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58A good reason to know how to throw them properly -
0:13:58 > 0:14:00you don't want to lose it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Sammy, I think it would be a good idea to keep this away from us.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The Anangu use spears like this to hunt for food.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Ed and Johnny are only getting to try the training spears,
0:14:15 > 0:14:16just as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Say your prayers, rabbit.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23That bush is dead now.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ooh! Stay away from my carrots, rabbit.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Away!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Oh!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Quite a good distance.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Spears and pointy sticks are very dangerous, so never try throwing
0:14:40 > 0:14:43anything like this unless in the safe hands of someone like Sammy.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's like a bullet, that's incredible.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Did you see where it landed? Beyond that tree.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I thought he threw it over Uluru, basically.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Because Uluru is so sacred, visitors here are asked not to
0:14:55 > 0:14:58climb it and there are only certain parts of the rock we can film
0:14:58 > 0:15:03but that's OK, it looks absolutely amazing from far away and lots of
0:15:03 > 0:15:06people want to get a beautiful shot like this,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08especially at sunset.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09So glad I brought my camera.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13The last five minutes before sunset is the best, apparently,
0:15:13 > 0:15:14wouldn't want to miss that.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Looks like we've got company.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Brian!- Gooba!- What are you doing here, you old galah?!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Trying to take a picture of the Uluru sunset.- Same here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Take a quick pic and get it on FaceFace, hashtag hashtag.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- Watch it get likes up the wazoo, know what I mean?- I genuinely don't.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36If what you are trying to say is you to intend to take
0:15:36 > 0:15:40a picture of Uluru, I would request that you do so away from me.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42How come?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Maybe something to do with the Aussie Rules football grand final.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I'm there with the best view in the house, ball crosses the line,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- I've got my camera poised and who turns up?- Yeah, I was there.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Gave you a little help with your composition.- You photo bombed it.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Ha-ha!
0:15:58 > 0:16:02A cast iron classic from the Goobmeister.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Come on, don't be such a sourpuss, you must have loads of great snaps.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Yes, who can forget the Great Barrier Reef?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12The world's largest living organism
0:16:12 > 0:16:16and I've got a sea snake, a dolphin and turtle all in the same short.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17You paint quite a picture there,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Brian, it almost feels like I was there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You were there!
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Ha! Of course, yeah. Underwater photobomberama from the Goobatron.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Luckily, I've recently invested in a piece of equipment which
0:16:29 > 0:16:34should keep my lens free from unwanted distraction. There we are.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Best investment I ever made.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Should have done this years ago.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Just in the nick of time for the perfect photo of...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46For crying out loud! You've got to be joking!
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Here we are on the island of Tasmania in the town of Wilmot,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01where local residents have gone to extraordinary lengths
0:17:01 > 0:17:03to brighten up the town.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07As have we, because as you can tell, for today's song, I am will.i.am.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12No, no. I am will.i.am.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- No, I am will.i.am.- I am will.i.am.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- I am.- No, I am will.i.am. I am.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Well, I am will.i.am. - Well, I am will.i.am!- I am!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I am! OK, all right.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23We am will.i.am.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I mean... We are will.i.are.am.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28No, I am. No, we are.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Let's just do the song.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40# Here's a story I've got
0:17:40 > 0:17:41# The residents of Wilmot
0:17:41 > 0:17:43# Here in Tasmania
0:17:43 > 0:17:45# Had a cool idea
0:17:45 > 0:17:49# They'd seen it first in Queensland so together they planned
0:17:49 > 0:17:51# To brighten up the roadside
0:17:51 > 0:17:52# Please let me be your guide
0:17:52 > 0:17:54# They took a simple mailbox
0:17:54 > 0:17:56# Clearly pulled out the stops
0:17:56 > 0:17:59# And so began to start
0:17:59 > 0:18:00# Turning them into art
0:18:00 > 0:18:04# The first box to appear was Man And Dog right here
0:18:04 > 0:18:05# In 2007
0:18:05 > 0:18:07# Now there's 60 of them
0:18:07 > 0:18:11# Oh oh oh
0:18:11 > 0:18:15# If you like mail, you like mail, you like mail
0:18:15 > 0:18:18# Then oh oh oh
0:18:18 > 0:18:22# You can follow the letterbox trail
0:18:22 > 0:18:24# And every one's a different style
0:18:24 > 0:18:26# Makes you smile
0:18:26 > 0:18:28# This place, it rocks
0:18:28 > 0:18:30# Check the postbox
0:18:33 > 0:18:35# Check out the postbox
0:18:37 > 0:18:41# Here's a pretty neat one A mailbox with some boots on
0:18:41 > 0:18:43# This Friesian cow is charming
0:18:43 > 0:18:45# As is this Penny Farthing
0:18:45 > 0:18:48# This one is more my bag, man A jolly metal swag man
0:18:48 > 0:18:50# We have made from an old drum
0:18:50 > 0:18:52# This pig is pretty random
0:18:52 > 0:18:56# A mailbox as a chainsaw - you'll not have seen that before
0:18:56 > 0:19:00# Tell me what's not to like about this cool motorbike
0:19:00 > 0:19:04# Here's one I got to show ya - it's a real lawnmower
0:19:04 > 0:19:07# In Goodlands Road you will find nine mailboxes in a line
0:19:07 > 0:19:11# Oh oh oh
0:19:11 > 0:19:15# Side-by-side, side-by-side, side-by-side
0:19:15 > 0:19:19# But oh oh oh
0:19:19 > 0:19:23# What's inside? What's inside? What's inside?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26# Probably some letters, air mail, parcels, junk mail
0:19:26 > 0:19:30# The postman unlocks and fills up the postbox
0:19:33 > 0:19:35# Fills up the postbox
0:19:38 > 0:19:41# On the postbox of number 2730
0:19:41 > 0:19:44# A model Tazzie tiger stands guard
0:19:45 > 0:19:48# Some believe this extinct beast still roams free
0:19:48 > 0:19:52# Finding one has proved pretty hard
0:19:52 > 0:19:56# And oh oh oh
0:19:56 > 0:20:00# It is not just mailboxes on view
0:20:00 > 0:20:04# Cos oh oh oh
0:20:04 > 0:20:07# They've painted the telegraph poles too
0:20:07 > 0:20:10# So if you're ever near Wilmot I'd say
0:20:10 > 0:20:11# Why not
0:20:11 > 0:20:13# Take a short stop
0:20:13 > 0:20:16# Check the postbox. #
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Ed, I don't know what it is with this Australian heat,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29but it's playing havoc with my hair.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33It's got more volume, it's a lot bigger. How are you finding it?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I'm finding it all right.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Whooooa!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Well, maybe it is a bit longer than usual.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Ed, I think you need a haircut.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I know a right good baaaa-rber.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48He'll give you a right good baaaa-rgain.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Come on.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Actually, there are around 20 world-class barbers here, Cel,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57as they're all competitors in the Mullewa Quickshears
0:20:57 > 0:20:59sheep shearing competition.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01The show has been taking place for 80 years
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and sees world champion male and female shearers
0:21:04 > 0:21:06battling it out for the title.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Sheep need a haircut at least once a year.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11There are around 50 ewes here today
0:21:11 > 0:21:15just queueing up for their annual day out at the salon.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We're going to be shearing sheep in the shearing competition
0:21:18 > 0:21:19so I think we should meet the sheep.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Right you are.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I need to beat Cel today in the competition.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Do you fancy a free haircut?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Baaaaa!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Free haircut?- Baaaa!
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Suit yourself.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I know you're all looking a little bit sheepish,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35but I am a trained stylist.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38You'll definitely suit short on the sides and heavy on the top,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40that's definitely you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42For you, I'd probably go for a nice little number two
0:21:42 > 0:21:45all over, if you like that? You feeling that, guys?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I think they're feeling like ignoring you, Cel.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Maybe you'll have more luck with the other farm animals
0:21:51 > 0:21:53in the petting zoo.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I know I am a fully grown man, but this is awesome.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Hiya, what's this?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Shouldn't you be learning about sheep shearing instead, Ed?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03That's a cow!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Would you like feeding? - And that's a boy!
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Sorry, I got confused.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Wow, the alpaca, one of the most pointless animals in the world.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Look who's talking.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13You seem at one with the animals,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- have you ever done any sheep shearing?- Yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- We've just watched our dads.- Right, OK. What top tips have you got?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Erm... Don't cut the sheep. - Don't cut the sheep.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Yeah, don't want angry sheep on my hands.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28For the shearing, do you have any techniques?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- What kind of motion am I going for? - Um...
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I think it's more like...
0:22:33 > 0:22:35We're going for that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Yes, going down on the sheep's sides.- OK.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Down on the sheep's sides then up the front and onto the back.- Yeah.- OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I still don't think they've got a clue.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Time to meet a champion sheep shearer.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Greg has been shearing sheep for over 27 years
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and he organises the event.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56He can shear a sheep in just 42 seconds, so listen up.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Here. Lean forward, let that leg down so the sheep's relaxed.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04You'll do your first blow there and as you do that,
0:23:04 > 0:23:05you move back a little like that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07You're doing four blows max.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- This is so much more confusing than I thought.- Yes, it is.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16As you go down here, you'll pull the skin up a little bit
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- and go around like that.- You just taking it off in strips?- Yeah.- OK.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- You're not trying to get off the whole thing in one piece?- No.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- How long does it take you to shear a sheep?- 42 seconds.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- How long will it take us?- Ohhh.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Anything from 10 to 15 minutes, mate.- 15 minutes.- Wow!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Some people just naturally pick it up.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Well, my gran's Welsh, and the Welsh know what they're doing with sheep
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- so maybe it's in the genes. - There you go.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It could be. You never know.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, the boys are ready and the girls are ready.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47The Quickshears competition crowns the person who can shear the entire
0:23:47 > 0:23:49fleece of a sheep in the fastest time
0:23:49 > 0:23:52but there are three judges who check the haircut.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Any messy patches or cuts and they get a red light from the judge.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Two red lights and they are disqualified
0:23:58 > 0:24:02so it is a bit like Britain's Got Talent but with sheep.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I'm not ready for this.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Surely this isn't humanly possible what they're doing.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10The speed they're going at is just like a constant vrooom!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Vroom! Vroom!- How many sheep do you have to shear to get that good?
0:24:14 > 0:24:21Well, Ed, shearers can shear up to 400 sheep each day - so a lot.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Ed and Cel will first have to master the hand piece and comb,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28shearing as close to the skin as possible without leaving a mark.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Next they must shear in long strips
0:24:30 > 0:24:33while turning the sheep continuously between their feet.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37The world record is held by an Aussie and stands at 39.31 seconds.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Ed and Cel have never sheared a sheep before, so -
0:24:40 > 0:24:42good luck, boys!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46This could be a contender for toughest All Over The Place
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- challenge ever.- This is my toughest All Over The Place challenge.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's my toughest TV experience ever.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I really want to cry and be sick.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57All Over The Place Australia
0:24:57 > 0:25:01presents the toughest challenge ever!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03But who will emerge victorious?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I'm about to go on.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Starting to wish I'd paid a bit more attention in Greg's sheep
0:25:09 > 0:25:12shearing lesson and a bit less time in the petting zoo.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18The crowd awaits. Ed looks nervous. 3-2-1, shear!
0:25:21 > 0:25:25A confident start by Ed, who chooses to go for the leg first?!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26LAUGHTER
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Beautiful!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Now a long blow along the back.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Any shampoo you'd like to buy afterwards, conditioner?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Stop cracking jokes and watch what you're doing, Ed.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Nice finish.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Ed is clearly going for quality over speed here. Yawn!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Finally he's on the last leg.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51If my hairdresser treated me like this, I'd get really angry.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- That's him.- Are we done? - You're done.- Oh!
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Good on yer, mate.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07There you go, you'd better take her.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Thank you!
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Three green lights from the judges. Top marks, Mr Petrie.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You do know the competition is fastest sheep shearer.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I was aware of that, yes.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26I decided to forego the whole speed thing
0:26:26 > 0:26:29and just concentrate on a really nice finish.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Cel is looking confident,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34but can he beat Ed's time and get three green lights?
0:26:37 > 0:26:38And he's off.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Looks like Cel's choosing speed over quality by the looks of that
0:26:43 > 0:26:47haircut. Ohhh! 'Sheer' determination from this young man.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Cel is flying now onto the back.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55The rain's going to go soon enough, pal.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Oops, I think he's nicked the sheep a tiny bit there.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That could be costly.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Oh! This one's a close shave. Get it? Close shave?!
0:27:10 > 0:27:13And he's done. Whew!
0:27:13 > 0:27:14APPLAUSE
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Let him go through your legs.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Cel has beaten Ed by an impressive 23 seconds
0:27:22 > 0:27:25but he needs three green lights to win.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26One.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Two.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30And... Oh! It's a red light for that little scratch!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Well done, you blokes. You both did very well,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35it was very hard going to get into.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- You realise how hard it is now? - Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- The Welsh blood came top. You done well.- Wow! Thank you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Straight to the skin, mate.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Ah! Not baaaad!
0:27:47 > 0:27:49You've been watching All Over The Place Australia!
