First, we're off to Sydney in New South Wales. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-It's the largest and oldest city in Australia. -What a day! | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
Ah! Look at this Aussie sunshine. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
-You just enjoying the view before our big climb? -Yeah, yeah, yeah. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
I was just taking it all in. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
She's a beauty. The largest steel-arched bridge in the world. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-I can't believe we're going to be climbing that, can you? -No. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
No, I can't believe they're going to let us do that. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-The largest? -Yes. -Are you sure? -Yes, that's what they reckon. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-About 80 of me stacked on top of each other. -Is that all?! | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Thanks for the comparison, Ed, that really puts my mind at ease. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
It's all right, follow your team leader, he'll look after you. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
This way! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
Oh, poor Naomi, it looks like she's having one of her nightmares. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
While she comes down, here's a bridge fact. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is nicknamed the Coathanger, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
because, well, it's used to hang up a massive jacket. Not really. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:43 | |
But it does look like a massive coathanger. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Ed and Naomi, you have 44 seconds to find out | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
as much as you can about the Harbour Bridge. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Ed, you have Ash. Naomi, you have Chris. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner. Three, two, one, go! | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
-Chris, the bridge looks massive. How long is it? -1,149 metres. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
How much does it cost to cross the bridge? | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
About 4, depending on the time of day. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
How many people cross the bridge each year? | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
200,000 a day - works out about 73 million per year. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-Why did they build it? -To save people having to walk around. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-How long did it take to build? -Just under eight years. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
-When was it built? -Opened in 1932. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
-Can you bungee jump off it? -No. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
-No, don't do that, that would be very silly. -How did they build it? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
With skill and engineering and lots and lots of people. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Of course they built it well, because they were British! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
-Weren't they? Were they? -Some of them. -Some of them were British! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
And you can go on it in what sort of forms of transport? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Cars, motorbikes, bicycles, pedestrians. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
KLAXON BLARES | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
-Good job, Chris. High-five. -Whoo! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
And the person who found out the most facts is... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-..Naomi! -SHE LAUGHS | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-Ha-ha! -Well, I don't mind, anyway. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
Because I found out some very interesting facts | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
about the Sydney Harbour Bridge. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Yes, to be fair, we know so much about it now, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
we probably don't need to climb it after all, do we? | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
No, you're not getting out of it that easily. Come on. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Toughen up, Naomi, if Ed can do it, so can you. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
We all know he's a bit of a wimp. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Oh-ho-ho! Agh! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Nice view of he Opera House, Naomi. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Ooh! SHE LAUGHS | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
HE LAUGHS Very close to the road. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Had a bus, car and train come past me at the same time. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
They've made it to the road which runs across the bridge. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
This part is 59 metres above the sea, which is | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
the same height as 12 Hagrids standing on top of each other. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
The bridge climb opened to the public in 1998 and, since then, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
over three million people have climbed to the top. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
Give us a wave! | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
Ash, this is completely safe, isn't it? | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
Absolutely. Bridge Climb's middle name is "safe". | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
What are you worried about? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
Don't worry, Naomi, it is perfectly safe. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Plus, your harnessed to the bridge at all times. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
The bridge is almost 50 metres across, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
making it the widest car-carrying bridge in the world. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
That's almost as wide as five tennis courts. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-Are we following in any famous footsteps? -You sure are. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
We get all sorts of climbers climbing with us. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
If any celebrities are on vacation, they usually try | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
and do the bridge climb while they're here, yeah. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
The likes of Daniel Radcliffe, you've got Prince Harry, | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-Pierce Brosnan, Russell Brand. -Wow! | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-Yes. So if they can do it, you can do it. -Yeah, you can do it. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
I can do it. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
-What's the matter? -Er, yeah, I think I've seen all I need to see. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
I mean, it's lovely but I think I will... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
-What happened to my fearless leader? -Yeah, I'm going to lead us | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
-back down now. Come on. -Stop being a wuss. Come on. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Hee-hee! What a wimp Ed is. It's not far to go now. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
-If I get blown off, will this hold my weight? -Of course it will. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
Reaching the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge! Whoo-hoo! | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Ed and Naomi, you're now 134 metres tall, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
that's almost as tall as 30 double-decker buses. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
But what goes up must come down. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
Can't believe you're a scaredy cat, Petrie. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I'm not scared! I'm not scared, I'm just bored with the bridge. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-It's very bridgy! -It's a fantastic bridge. -Yeah, yeah, it's great. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
Now, what's the quickest way of getting off? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
Is there a lift, a rescue helicopter? | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
Same way we came up. All 719 steps. Come on. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
ED GROANS | 0:05:34 | 0:05:35 | |
618, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
617, | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
616... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
Please tell me when we get to 20, Naomi. I'm going to throw up! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
Australia contains the most venomous spiders in the world | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
and one of the most deadly, the redback, lives right here in Perth. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
If you want to look at spiders, ideally you find a Spider-Man. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
-Look, here's two. -Cel, you look ridiculous. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
Who are you supposed to be? Pants Boy, or something? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Would you believe me if I was to tell you I was bitten | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
by a radioactive Australian spider and I'm now known as Redback Boy! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
I might believe you, because would you believe me | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
if I told you I am now Lady Longlegs, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
the terrifying superhero incarnation of the daddy longlegs spider | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
that traps its prey with its unusually long legs? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Shall we go and meet one of our own, a fellow superhero? -Yes. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-Hi, boys. -Hi. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
CEL CLEARS HIS THROAT | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
This is a bit embarrassing, isn't it? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
-Yeah, shall we, er, shall we go and get changed? -Yeah. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
I'm afraid Dr Mark isn't a superhero, boys. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
In fact, he collects spiders | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
and studies different types from all over the country. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
New ones are being discovered all the time. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
They have eight legs and most have eight eyes, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
so that's more than enough to keep an eye on you two. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
But what are Dr Mark's top three? | 0:07:23 | 0:07:24 | |
So Sydney funnel-web spider, one of the most toxic spiders in the world. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
It's huge! | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
Only lives in the Sydney region in Australia. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:34 | |
So the Australians built their biggest city | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
where the most poisonous spider lives. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
That's what I call bad planning. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
This is the golden orb weaving spider. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
This one lives in the tropical regions of Australia. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
If you spread its legs out, it will nearly cover the size of your hand. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:49 | |
-I'm glad it's dead. -CEL LAUGHS | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
Redback spider. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:53 | |
They are the relative of the black widow spiders | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
that live in places like North America. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
And very toxic, but not really dangerous to humans. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I hope that once I've left here, I don't come across any spiders | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
for the rest of my time in Australia. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
It will be unlikely that we'd find any, wouldn't it? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
There are spiders absolutely everywhere, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
including in people's backyards, all across the country. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
I know someone who can help you find them - Spider-Girl. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
Will Ed and Cel meet the real-life Spider-Girl | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
and come face-to-face with a genuine Aussie arachnid? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
Looks like it, yes. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:26 | |
Ask her if she's seen Spider-Girl. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
You haven't seen a superhero around here, | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-goes by the name of Spider-Girl? -Actually, that's me. I'm Frances. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-Where can we find some spiders?! -Come with me! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Frances is Dr Mark's daughter and a budding spider expert herself. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
I think she's found a spider, boys. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
What have we got here? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:51 | |
It's a ridged trapdoor spider | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
and it's found in Perth in the Western Australian region. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Is it poisonous? | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
Its bite will be painful, but it's not dangerous. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-See, it's just painful. -Yeah, yeah. -Why is it called a trapdoor spider? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
They live in burrows in the ground. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
At the top of the burrow, they have a little trapdoor | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
that they sit at and then they wait for prey to come past | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
and they leap out at it and grab it and eat it. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Aw, he's quite cute, actually. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
ED AND CEL: Agh! It just had a go at you. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-Did it bite you then? -I'm wearing gloves, so I can't tell. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
His fangs aren't big enough to get in the glove? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
It was happy where she was, so I don't think we want to disturb her. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-I think Cel wants to touch it. -Cel doesn't want to touch anything! | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
Cel said he'd really like to touch it. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
I don't think Cel wants to touch it. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
Cel, don't be shy, it's time to play Web of Lies. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
Hello and welcome to the game show that absolutely no-one | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
is talking about. It's Web of Lies. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
I'm joined by my glamorous...ish assistant, Frances, | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-and trapped in my web is Cel. -I'm not trapped. -He is trapped. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:53 | |
Frances here is holding a ridged trapdoor spider. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
And if Cel loses the quiz, he must touch the spider. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
I am a spider... I'm not, I'm pretending to be. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
..I need to go to the toilet... I'm still pretending to be the spider. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
But I'd better be careful, because my wee is actually acid | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
and can burn through metal. It's a metal toilet. Am I lying? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-Yes, you're lying. -Is correct. I am lying. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |
A spider's acid is not strong enough to burn through a metal toilet. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-Isn't that right, Frances? -That is right, yes. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
All right, no need to be such a spider-loving smarty-pants. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
I am an old spider, in my bed. Oh, I think I might die soon. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
But riddle me this, Cel, am I lying? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
-Yes, yes, you are lying. -I am lying. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
Yes, spiders don't live to be very old, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
because they get eaten or trampled on. Isn't that right, Frances? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
That's very true, yes. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:51 | |
-MIMICS FRANCES: -That's very true, yes! | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
Which means you lost and you have to touch the spider. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
No, that's not the rules. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
Anyway, I have arachnophobia, which is | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
an irrational fear of spiders that outweighs the threat posed. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
HE SCREAMS Oh, come on. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
HIGH-PITCHED: He's not that bad, he's a little cutie. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Ed, I'm bored. Shall we go to the cinema? | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
On a lovely sunny day like this? No. No way. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
-Come on, it'll be a laugh. -No. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:29 | |
We all do what you want to do all the time. Come on. You're so selfish. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
Cut it out, you two. I've found the perfect place for you. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
-Just follow the popcorn. -Popcorn? -Popcorn. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Ooh, popcorn. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
Bingo! | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
Welcome to the Deckchair Cinema, | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
the only permanent outdoor cinema in Darwin. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Are you both happy now? | 0:12:01 | 0:12:02 | |
The first Deckchair Cinema opened here in 1929 | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
and, like today, it was outside. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
The deckchair was originally designed | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
to be used on the decks of ships. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
I've seen them on beaches before, but a cinema? Ha! | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
Cool. It really is a cinema filled with deckchairs. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
Yeah, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
-I wonder how many there are. -There's only one way to find out. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
249. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
2... 251. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:35 | |
-What?! -THEY GROAN | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-250. -250. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-Oh, yes. This show is nothing if not accurate. -And tiring. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:54 | |
Go and sit down, boys. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
This cinema shows all kinds of films. Action movies... | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
So we made it, huh? I heard you were a crazy fool. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
You heard right. I never stop till I find my deckchair. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
-What number you got? -20. -Oh, I'm 21. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
HELICOPTER BLADES WHIR | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-This is very nice. -Yeah. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
Romantic movies... | 0:13:19 | 0:13:20 | |
I've saved the very last deckchair for you, my darling, my love. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
You're so terribly, terribly kind. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
Agh! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
I never was much good at putting those things up. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-Science fiction movies... -Captain's log. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
We appear to have landed on a strange planet inhabited | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
by curious beings comprised of a holding structure | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
with stretched material. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Dr McCoy is conducting tests as we speak. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
-Doctor! Doctor! -SHOUTING IN BACKGROUND | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Hang on! | 0:13:57 | 0:13:58 | |
Just because this is the Deckchair Cinema doesn't mean that | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
every film has to be about deckchairs. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
Let's take a look behind the scenes. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
How do you project films now? | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
Do they come on the big reels, the films, or are they digital? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
We get to still show some of the classics on the beautiful | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
old projector, but more so these days everything has gone digital. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
So whether it is old or new, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
-you basically get to watch films for a living? -Yeah. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
-Yeah, getting paid to watch movies. -Best job in the world. -Yeah. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
Do you also get free snacks, hot dogs, things like that? | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-All-you-can-eat popcorn. -Oh, wow. You'd like that, wouldn't you? -Mm. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
-How are you enjoying that? -Mm. -Tasty? Is it not a big gritty? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
-Mm-mm. -It's just that stuff we found on the floor earlier. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
Ugh, Johnny! | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
An outdoor cinema works in this part of Australia | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
because Darwin only has two seasons - | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
a wet season and a dry season. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
So between April and November, when it's dry, you can | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
sit under the stars and watch a movie. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
But between December and March, it's shut because you'd get soaked. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
please take your deckchairs for the main feature. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-Ah, best seat in the house. This is brilliant. -Perfect. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
So many ads these days, though, | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
full of rubbish actors who can't make it in the movies. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
Couldn't agree more, Johnny, couldn't agree more. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
-Do you like holidays? -I do like holidays. -Do you like weather? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
-I love weather. -Then come to Darwin. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
With not just one season, but two of the blighters. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
Start them in the dry season. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
You'll experience six months of baking temperatures | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
and dying vegetation. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
Water! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
Need water. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Sorry, mate, the sheila will kill me if I don't water these. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
But the fun doesn't stop there. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
You'll then experience a few months of intense humidity. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
Look at all this sweat. I've got a date tonight, as well. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
Yeah, right. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:57 | |
-The only thing he's got a date with is the wet season. -The what? | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
With Darwin so close to the equator, | 0:16:06 | 0:16:08 | |
the landscape is then transformed into a lush tropical paradise. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
That is if you don't mind the odd monsoon. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
Hang on a minute, does that mean | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
I'm going to get another bucket-load of...? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-Stupid question. -So come to Darwin | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
for the most exciting weather in Australia. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-I thought we'd done the wet season! -So did I. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
# Here at Fraser Island Just north of Brisbane | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
# We've come to try and find a beach | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
# To relax in the sun | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
# Just need to find a spot to settle down for the day | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
# Well, take your pick for there's sand for miles and miles each way | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
# If it's right then what I've heard | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
# Is it's the largest sand island in the world | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
# If a day on the beach is what you've planned | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
# This island is formed entirely by sand | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
-BOTH: -# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
# Doesn't matter which way you go | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
# Left or right, high or low, this place is pretty sandy | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
# Here's a spot of info | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
# It was formed thousands of years ago | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
# Do you understand me? | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
# The overlapping sand dunes are a sight to behold | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
# They rise 200 metres above the sea, I'm told | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
# Sand has been deposited by the wind and sea | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
# Onto to terrain formed by volcanic activity | 0:17:59 | 0:18:04 | |
# What's surprising is plants can thrive on nutrients from sand | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
# Enough to stay alive | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
# But the most amazing thing to me | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
# Is that you don't expect to see a forest of trees | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
# I'm no aficionado | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
# But who'd have thought rainforests could grow | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
# In a place that's sandy? | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
# Hey, ho, I think you'll find the piccabeen palm and the kauri pine | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
# Living on sand, rain and sunshine, they're just fine and dandy | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
# 75 Mile Beach highway | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
# Runs the east side of the island | 0:18:40 | 0:18:44 | |
# No other road is quite the same | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
# I hear they also use it to land planes... # | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
Look out! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
# Take the beach road, fast or slow | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
# A normal car is a no-no | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
# The road is far too sandy | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
# There's only one way you can go | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
# I recommend this trip although a 4x4 will come in handy | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you see? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
# Here at Lake McKenzie? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
# Check the eucalyptus tree What a place this is | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
# Hey, ho, what do you know? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
# The perfect spot for a photo | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
# Let's stop and eat here al fresco | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
# What's in the sandwiches? # | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
Oh, there's sand in these. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
Why does that always happen when you go to the beach? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
They're actually sand sandwiches. They're my favourite. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
I've got some gravel rolls, if you prefer. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
I'm all right, thanks. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:37 | |
I will need a volunteer from the audience. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
You, young lady, who I've never seen before. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
Don't do this to me, I don't want to help you do street magic. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
Just pick a card, Naomi. I mean, what is your name, blonde lady? | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
You know my name, Ed. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
Naomi, you say? Right, pick a card. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
(I'm trying to practise for the buskers' festival.) | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
(Pick a card.) | 0:20:10 | 0:20:11 | |
Remember your card. Place it back in the pack. I will not look. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
Is this your card? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
No. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:25 | |
-Is this your card? -No. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Yes, I know, as well, because your card is in that car over there. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
-No need to applaud. -What, the car that's just driven off? -Yes. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
And if you looked in the glove compartment of that car | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
you would find your card! | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
But the car's gone now. Ed, you are rubbish at this. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
You are going to need a much better act | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
if you're going to take part in a street-performing event. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Naomi has a point, Ed, | 0:20:50 | 0:20:51 | |
because this is Coffs Harbour International Buskers' Festival. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
It's been running for 24 years | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
and attracts performers from all over the world. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
They range from acrobats to shows of strength | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
and the downright dangerous. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
That looks hard. Don't try this at home, kids. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
There's over 120 shows and, unlike Ed the Extraordinary, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
who should be called Ed the Dull and Ordinary, | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
these performers have many, many years' experience. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
Oi, everyone's got to start somewhere. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
Maybe we should start by finding the organiser of the event. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Maybe he can help you out. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
This is John, he travels all over the world | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
looking for street performers for the festival. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
-What makes a great street performer? -If you go down the street | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
and don't know anything's happening, | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
then somebody who stops you and makes you watch for half an hour. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
-That's a great street performer. -Is there real talent here? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
Absolutely. There's some amazing talent. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
You'll see a group called Acrobatica. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
They are an amazing talent, great acrobats. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
And we have some young ones, we've got some 15 and 12-year-olds | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
and they're good, as well. There is some real talent. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
You've seen the professionals, now it's time to meet the amateurs. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
In today's event, Ed and Naomi will go head-to-head in a busk-off. | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
John the organiser will decide the winner based on their act | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
and the audience reaction. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Ed, you have Magic Jake to teach you everything | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
you need to know about street performance. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
And, Naomi, you have New Zealander Jeremy Penguin, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
who will teach you the joys of juggling. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
Jake's been doing magic since the age of five. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
He's performed on Australia's Got Talent and, in 2005, | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
he spent at least an hour a day performing magic. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
That's 365 hours, which is a lot, so he must be good. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
What have you got for me? | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
-A 5 bill. -Right. -A normal pen. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
Careful, that's worth about three quid back home. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-Just watch about right there. Stab it through. -What?! | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
How did you stick a pen through a banknote? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-How it's done is actually a little magnetic piece like that. -Oh! | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
All you do is you show the 5 bill, | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
show the pen, go under, | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
-clip it off like that. -OK. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
You shouldn't show this, actually. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
We shouldn't let people know how it's done, so, er... | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
It's just like that and you can slide it and then rip it off. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
OK. So... | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
Ed, that's rubbish. Let's see how Naomi is getting on. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:08 | |
-Brrrr! -Great, isn't it? | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
Jeremy Penguin, not actually a penguin, | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
but he is a world-class juggler. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
He comes from New Zealand | 0:23:15 | 0:23:16 | |
and he once juggled five rings for 15 minutes. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
You're in good hands, Naomi. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
What we are going to do is shake your hands out, | 0:23:21 | 0:23:23 | |
get your body straight up and down and feel your centre, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
relax and drop down a little bit. OK. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Now just do this. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
That is essentially the basic action of juggling. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
Here we go, throw it up and catch. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
You're a natural at this, Naomi. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Good start(!) | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
One, two and catch, yeah? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
Looks like you're getting the hang of it, Naomi. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Technically, a juggle is two revolutions, so six throws. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Six throws. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
Not bad for a beginner. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
Let's hope you can control the nerves in front of the audience. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
This week, will Ed astound everyone with his extraordinary magic? | 0:24:00 | 0:24:05 | |
Or will Naomi dazzle the crowd with her j-amazing juggling? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
Time to find out. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
From the UK, please welcome Naomi. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:15 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my name is Naomi... | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
..the Incredible. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:27 | |
I have come all the way from the UK | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
to dazzle and amaze you with my amateurish juggling skills. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
I am going to juggle not one, not two, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:39 | |
but three balls tonight. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
Yes, you are going to gasp in amazement | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
and, potentially, have a ball hit you on the head. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
So I'm going to try and catch them six times. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
If I do it, I want you to go wild. It's very unlikely. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
Drum roll. Let's have a drum roll. Everybody. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
I'm going to make Naomi drop all the balls. Abracadabra! | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
Oh, no, I was doing so well backstage. I'm going to keep going. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
Shall I keep going? | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Yes! | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
-Thank you, everybody. -Amazing! | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
Wait a minute! | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Previously in training. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
Technically, a juggle is two revolutions, so it's six throws. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
-Six throws. -Six throws. -Six throws. -Six throws. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
Let's rewind and count those throws. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
One. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
Two. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
Three. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
Four. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:34 | |
Five. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
S... No! | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-Yes! -Thankfully you're being judged on your overall performance, | 0:25:37 | 0:25:42 | |
so you're still in with a chance, Naomi. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Come on, Ed, dazzle us with your tragic magic. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Edward the Extraordinary! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
-Come on, make some noise! -CHEERING | 0:25:51 | 0:25:55 | |
Extraordinary! | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
Right, OK, I've got here a perfectly ordinary pen. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
If you'd like to see an incredible magic trick performed | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
with this pen and this note then say, "Ooh, yes, please!" | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
AUDIENCE: Ooh, yes, please! | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Well, that's what I'm going to do right now. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
Extraordinary by name, extraordinary by nature. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
I want you to all make a special magic noise. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
Can you do that for me? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
I want you to go, "Mmm." | 0:26:26 | 0:26:28 | |
-Can you go "mmm"? -AUDIENCE: Mmm. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
Make the pen pass through the note. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
-Keep going, keep going! -AUDIENCE: Mmm. -Mmm! | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Look. Look what I've done! | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Look at that. The pen is through the note. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Can you see that, can you see that? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
-Are you amazed? -AUDIENCE CHEER | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
If you're amazed, say, "Ooh, I'm amazed." | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
AUDIENCE: Ooh, I'm amazed! | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
Sorry, I've ruined your note now. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Don't worry, I can get it out. Here we go. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Incredible. I will now make this note disappear. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
Well, that's one way to make money disappear, Ed. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
Both acts have performed, but will John give the win to Naomi, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
even though she didn't catch all six balls? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:20 | |
Or will Ed win, stealing the show and the money? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
We have a winner. We finally have a winner. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
It's been tough competition but the winner is... | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
-Ed! -Thank you, John. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:32 | |
What?! One Trick Petrie has done it again. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Well, this is why I won, Naomi. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
Magic. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
-I think you dropped that. -Oh. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 |
