0:00:02 > 0:00:04If you want to know why I am at Northern Queensland,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07dressed like this, smashing these, then keep watching!
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Ed's finally cracked up, which is just as well, as we are going
0:00:10 > 0:00:14on a bonkers road trip around Australia with Iain...
0:00:15 > 0:00:16Naomi...
0:00:16 > 0:00:19You can't win this game!
0:00:19 > 0:00:20..Cel...
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Why?!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Michelle...
0:00:23 > 0:00:24..and Ore.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26G'day, mate. Strewth, my old cobber.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31# All over the place
0:00:31 > 0:00:33# All over the place
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# North, South, East, West On a bizarre quest
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Me and my mates all over the place
0:00:39 > 0:00:42# It is true what you've heard Everything is absurd
0:00:42 > 0:00:44# Whatever we do is strange but true
0:00:44 > 0:00:49# All over the place All over the place
0:00:49 > 0:00:51# There's stuff to do down under It's totally ace
0:00:51 > 0:00:53# And it turns up...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56# All over the place. #
0:00:56 > 0:00:58First up, we're off to Mount Kosciuszko,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02named after a Polish man who never even visited Australia.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04MUSIC: "The Blue Danube Waltz" by Johann Strauss
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Meanwhile, this is some music by Johann Strauss, who was Austrian,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10not Australian. Who picked this music?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And what are these two up to?!
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Oi, get on with it, lads!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19You are supposed to be climbing Mount Kosciuszko,
0:01:19 > 0:01:20not messing around at the bottom.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22All right, mate, we are just
0:01:22 > 0:01:24having some fun on these little electric scooters we have
0:01:24 > 0:01:26to climb that massive mountain.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- We're not climbing the mountain, Iain.- Really?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Right, I'll get my jet pack. I think it's getting serviced in the hotel.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Don't worry, I'll get my massive human catapult.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Sarcasm really doesn't suit you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38We are going to climb that mountain but I promise our feet
0:01:38 > 0:01:41are going to barely touch the ground. Come on!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Ed, I do actually have the jet pack. Ed!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45HE SIGHS
0:01:45 > 0:01:48No jet packs required, Iain, this is Mount Kosciuszko,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52which is the highest mountain in Australia.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Snow in Australia? Yes, even in spring.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Not surprising if I tell you that Kosciuszko is in a place
0:01:58 > 0:02:02called the Snowy Mountains, and it has a ski resort attached.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Iain, you know I said we were going to climb the mountain
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and our feet would barely touch the ground?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Yeah, not possible. - Oh, yes? Well, check this out.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Ed, listen. We've got a mountain to climb, a massive mountain, we've not
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- got time for the funfair, OK? - They're chairlifts, Iain.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18They get you up the mountain.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Really? What are we waiting for, then? I've got a need for speed.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Woo-hoo!- Woo-hoo!
0:02:26 > 0:02:29ROCK MUSIC
0:02:32 > 0:02:33SLOW MUSIC
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Ed? If I am being totally honest, this could have been a little
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- bit faster.- I kind of like it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Fancy a cup of tea?
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Good grief, your rock 'n' roll reputation is fading away fast.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Which is the same length
0:02:56 > 0:02:58as 316 Taylor Swifts.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01It takes 12 minutes to go up, and 12 minutes to go back down again.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04It's the height of laziness, if you ask me.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05Ed, I really need a wee.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I've just had a flask of tea, how do you think I feel?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Can't we just go over that way?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- VOICEOVER MAN:- 'Ed and Iain! You have 47 seconds to find out
0:03:13 > 0:03:16'as much as you can about Mount Kosciuszko.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19'Ed, you've got Susie who knows about the history.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Iain, you've got Dan who knows about its geography.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26'Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29'Three, two, one, go!'
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- How tall is the mountain? - 2,228m above sea level.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36When was it discovered?
0:03:36 > 0:03:41It was discovered by Strzelecki, a Polish character in 1840.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- What is it made out of?- Granite.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- How long has it been a resort? - Since 1957.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48How cold does it get in the winter?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Minus five is the average temperature in June and July.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- What sort of wildlife to get on the mountains?- Lots, lots.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We get some that live above the snow, some live under the snow.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57How do Australians deal with that?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Do they say, "Oh, mate, I can't take this," and go back down?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02There are lots of ways. Lots of jackets, lots of pants.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03What animals live under the snow?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06There's all kinds of little native rats and marsupials.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09There's a tiny little pygmy possum and they live under the snow
0:04:09 > 0:04:12all winter, and they crawl around and eat the fruits in the summer.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- How do you pronounce the mountain's name?- Kosciuszko.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Kosi-osko?- Kosciuszko.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Kos-isko.- Kosciuszko.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- KLAXON SOUNDS - Come on!- Oh!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- VOICEOVER MAN:- 'And the person who found out the most facts is...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- '..Ed.'- Yes!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- Oh, no!- Yes, I am the winner!
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Always nice to beat you at something! Back to business.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Ed, I still really need that wee. - Yes, me too.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Well, this is the second highest toilet in Australia
0:04:38 > 0:04:39so it should be all right.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Out of order? - You've got to be joking me!
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Maybe it's not that bad now.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Never talk of this again.- Where is the highest toilet in Australia?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- It's a 4km walk that way. - Not doing that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54We need to get to the bottom and fast.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57If only we had, like, a magic wand or a bobsleigh.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Ah... It's funny you should say that.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He's got a magic wand?!
0:05:05 > 0:05:06'Ed and Iain! You...'
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Voiceover man, our need to relieve ourselves
0:05:09 > 0:05:11has reached critical point, OK? First to the bottom is the
0:05:11 > 0:05:14winner, and the loser has to carry the winner on their shoulders to
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- their hotel room, OK?- Deal.- OK.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18'How rude. But OK.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21'Three, two, one, go!
0:05:23 > 0:05:26'You're next, Ed. Three, two...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28'Oh, he must be thirsty.'
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So the race is on to get to the loo down this 700m long bobsleigh track.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35That is the same length as 358 Usain Bolts,
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and speaking of bolts, look at these boys go. They are like lightning.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Stirling's thundering down the track and Petrie's powering down
0:05:42 > 0:05:44so fast, I think he's left scorch marks.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Who is going to be fastest and win the honour
0:05:46 > 0:05:48of being carried to the loo?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54'And the winner is...'
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Hurry up, voiceover man.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59'Years at acting school for this. It's Ed.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Yes!- Oh, no. - Yes, one free ride home!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- There you go. Erm, Ed...- Yeah?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Have you got a water bottle in your pocket? I am soaked.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Oh... Yes... Yes, yes, that's my water bottle...
0:06:14 > 0:06:15It's warm.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- David, you are Automata Man. - Thanks very much.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I've been called a few things, but not that before,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46but that's pretty cool. Do you know what an automata is?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- No, I don't.- Automatas are toys.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Basically, toys that have movement or mechanisms
0:06:52 > 0:06:53to make them move.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- This is a very simple example. - It's quite freaky, that.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- It is a bit.- What's his name? - Dizzy Donkey.- I can see why!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- So...- What do you like about them? - The challenge of making them work,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07but at the end of the day, I like someone to come along, wind
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- the handle, and get it to work. - Could we have a look around?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Yes, no worries, come this way.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17David doesn't only collect these contraptions, he builds them, too.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Automata have a long history, maybe stretching back as far as
0:07:20 > 0:07:24ancient Greece. It used to be that only very rich people could
0:07:24 > 0:07:27afford them, but over the last hundred and a bit years they
0:07:27 > 0:07:30have become more popular, and you'll find them at places like
0:07:30 > 0:07:33the seaside. Think of them as early arcade games.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35So, get your coins ready.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Oh, what does this creepy looking one do?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43This is the Haunted Tavern, it's actually one of my favourites.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Can we have a look and see what happens?- Sure.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- I've left my wallet at home, David.- Oh!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- I have a dollar here.- Thankfully!
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Oh! That spider is going crazy. Is that a redback?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57That is a redback.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I like the hand coming out of the cupboard.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Who is behind the picture?- That's a werewolf, a good friend of mine,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06no resemblance at all!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09THEY LAUGH
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm not winding you up, these things are driven
0:08:11 > 0:08:14by a clockwork device.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18As you can see, these are like fingers moving up
0:08:18 > 0:08:20and down, pulling the strings.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23So, does each of these wires control a different animation?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yes, they do.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I wonder if it's easy to make your own automata.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Let's find out as Mr Ed and Miss Naomi make something.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Today we are going to show you how to make something that
0:08:35 > 0:08:38will make your friends crazy with envy.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39This critter bug.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Every automata maker has got to start somewhere and where best than
0:08:42 > 0:08:44with one of these little fellas?
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It's so easy.- So easy. All you need is all of this.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54- Just pop that on there like so. - We're nearly done.- It's so easy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I think we should colour him up with some of these lovely paints.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Let's brighten him up.- I am going to paint mine white.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So once you have painted your bug, you can move on to the wings.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- How are you getting on, Ed? - Really well. It's so easy.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08How on earth do they do this?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10SHE SNIGGERS
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Oh, look. - He looks like a cheeky fella.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I'm just going to add some little legs to mine.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- They seem a bit long. - They do, don't they?
0:09:17 > 0:09:23Finally, just make your critter bug fly away.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's so easy.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30So easy? I don't think so! Why don't you try your luck at a wheel-y
0:09:30 > 0:09:31simple game called...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- EVIL VOICE:- 'Wheels Of Misfortune.'
0:09:33 > 0:09:35SCREAMING
0:09:35 > 0:09:38My first contestant... A woman.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- It's Naomi!- Yes, whatever.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45The rules of the game are simple. A bit like you. I'm going to ask
0:09:45 > 0:09:49a question and you must answer it. Do you understand?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Of course I understand, you don't need to shout.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55If you answer incorrectly, misfortune will occur.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57What kind of misfortune?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58A custard pie in the face.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06This is David's handcrafted 1920s inspired fortune-telling
0:10:06 > 0:10:10spinning wheel. What will the spinning wheel reveal
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- about your fortune? - That's not a question.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- That's asking me to guess an outcome.- Excuses, excuses.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- What?- Have you got a dollar?- Yes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Erm...my taste in shirts will be better than yours in the future.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Let's have a look, shall we?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29EVIL LAUGH
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Oh, a new opportunity may come your way on Thursday.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Funnily enough, it is a Thursday.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47This is David's handcrafted skull of fortune machine.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50EVIL LAUGH
0:10:50 > 0:10:54What will the skull spinning wheel reveal as your fortune?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- You can't win this game.- Oh, come on, nobody likes a party pooper.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Dollar, dollar.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I guess that I'll get another custard pie in the face soon.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12It says "rest and relax tomorrow". I say, why not start today?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16There you go. Yes, I am afraid you did not win, but look on the
0:11:16 > 0:11:19bright side - at least you will not be needing lunch today!
0:11:20 > 0:11:22And neither will you.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Well, Grant Perry is the current Australian boomerang throwing
0:11:37 > 0:11:40champion, and a lead member of the Aussie team for
0:11:40 > 0:11:42the World Championships.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Wow, Grant, that's amazing. Look at all these boomerangs. Is this
0:11:54 > 0:11:57because you can't get rid of them? Every time you throw them away,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- they come back?- Yes.- Some of these just don't like they
0:12:00 > 0:12:01would come back to you at all.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03There's all sorts of bits sticking off them.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Surely this does not come back? - Yes, it can actually,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09it's just in the design, the way it is shaped.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11They're all designed to come back to you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Do you have a personal favourite?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17My personal favourite is actually one that I'd picked up at a
0:12:17 > 0:12:22boomerang auction and it is a very fast one but, yeah, it's a perfect
0:12:22 > 0:12:26boomerang for me, it's definitely the best one I've ever had so...
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- You like a nice three-pronged boomerang.- Yes, absolutely.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- They are much smoother flights so...- Cos that's not your
0:12:32 > 0:12:35traditional boomerang, is it? This boomerang looks more like that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- This is like a traditional boomerang.- Yes, that's more like the
0:12:38 > 0:12:41traditional boomerang. Years ago, they definitely would have
0:12:41 > 0:12:43used something like that, but for competition these days,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46it's quite dangerous using something like that.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50In Western Australia, aborigines often call boomerangs "kylie",
0:12:50 > 0:12:52meaning "curved stick", and that is
0:12:52 > 0:12:54one reason why the name Kylie
0:12:54 > 0:12:55is popular in Australia.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Let's see how an Aussie champion does it. Listen up, boys.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02To throw a boomerang, hold level with your shoulder,
0:13:02 > 0:13:07run forward, flick with the wrist, and then release vertical.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Grant has set Ed and Cel a challenge. Who can catch the most
0:13:11 > 0:13:15boomerangs after three attempts? All we need now is a dramatic intro.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- DRAMATIC VOICEOVER:- 'King Catch Cel versus Prince Propel Petrie
0:13:19 > 0:13:24'in the battle of the tick tick tick boom...erangs!'
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Ed's first attempt, and the sun is in his eyes, and the boomerang is
0:13:30 > 0:13:32on the ground, and a few seconds later, so is he.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Second shot... That boomerang...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Come back! Come back! Come back!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39..doesn't seem to be listening to him.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41A final chance, Ed.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42And it's...
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Oh, no!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47..as they say in Australia, "what a drongo".
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Throw one for Cel. Rubbish!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Number two.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh, that was actually close.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Right, number three. Come on, Cel.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, he's on the ground, failure.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Well, it is going to have to be sudden death, boys,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04the first one to catch wins.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05SCREAMING
0:14:05 > 0:14:11Come on, Cel. Yes, the first one to come close to it maybe?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14When does this show finish?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15You have got to be kidding me!
0:14:15 > 0:14:16No!
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Yes! No, I know.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Come on, Ed.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Come on! Yes! - CHEERING
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Even Cel's cheering, but don't grab each other too tight,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31you do not want to end up in an Australian hospital...sketch.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Flying doctor at your service, What appears to be the problem?
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Oh, g'day, mate, strewth, my old cobber. It's bonzer to see ya!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I've come in for a bit of a chinwag
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- because I'm feeling a bit crook. - I can see that already.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45No real Australian would say "g'day" or "strewth",
0:14:45 > 0:14:47let alone in the same sentence.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Looks like you might have a case of forgotten-how-to-be-Australian-itis.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- Any other symptoms?- Well, doc, I think I might have something wrong
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- with me head.- Too right, we never wear those daft cork hats either.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I'm afraid this is going to have to be removed.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Oh!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Mate, we see this kind of thing all the time. In fact, most of
0:15:09 > 0:15:12the things people think of as Australian are not even
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- Australian, which is why this goes in here.- Wait on, you've got
0:15:16 > 0:15:20a surfboard in there, that's definitely Australian.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23No, Polynesian, mate. The first surfers were fishermen
0:15:23 > 0:15:24over 3,000 years ago.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28You see, people are always getting things about Australia wrong.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Have another go. Where do you think this comes from?- A barbecue?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35As in "throw another shrimp on the barbie"?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37That's definitely Australian.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40No, it's a US-Caribbean thing.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Well, if none of these things are Australian, what is?
0:15:45 > 0:15:50- Erm...- Dual flush toilets that help save water.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Ultrasound, which is useful in hospitals.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Plastic banknotes, which last longer than paper.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Even Wi-Fi.- Wi-Fi?- Wi-Fi.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03All these things came from Australia.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Wait a minute. You must think I'm a flaming drongo.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12A boomerang, that's the most Australian thing I can think of!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14The word is Australian, it means "throwing stick",
0:16:14 > 0:16:17but archaeologists think ancient man was chucking these things
0:16:17 > 0:16:20all over the world, from Egypt to Florida.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Oh, I am never going to know what's Australian and what's not.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I'll never be cured.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30CRASHING
0:16:31 > 0:16:35Wait a minute... I've just remembered...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39That's how I got hit in the head in the first place. I'm cured!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44G'day, mate, strewth, you flaming galah.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I've got a bang on the bods.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Now let's shrimp another surfboard on the barbie, fair dinkum.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Oh, no.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Naomi, what are you doing?- I am practising my plate smashing.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Woo-hoo. It's for the largest Greek Festival in northern Queensland.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- That's why we're here today. - Yes, I know, but...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Oh, thank you so much for letting the organisers give me these special
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- smashing plates. Do you think they look authentic?- Naomi!
0:20:18 > 0:20:21These are the plates for smashing.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24So, who do these belong to?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28They're mine. But don't worry about me, you've got enough on your
0:20:28 > 0:20:32plate, getting around Greekfest, a massive festival in Townsville
0:20:32 > 0:20:35that celebrates Greek culture.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39A homesick Grecian realised that
0:20:39 > 0:20:40there were 2,500 other Greeks
0:20:40 > 0:20:45also living here. And now each year, around 25,000 people
0:20:45 > 0:20:47meet to seek out their inner Greek.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48What's happening here today?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50There is plenty happening.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51There is plate smashing...
0:20:52 > 0:20:56There's dancing, there's stomping, there's lots to do, lots to do.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57That sounds fab.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Sounds fab, I am glad you think that
0:20:59 > 0:21:01because you two are going
0:21:01 > 0:21:04head-to-head in the All Over The Place Greek Olympics.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Other Olympics are available, see website for details.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10There'll be smashed plates, crushed grapes, and dancing japes.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Bronze, silver and gold medals await the winner of each.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17To be a Greekfest champion, you will need to be at the top of your game,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19the pinnacle of perfection, the, the... Who am I kidding?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23You are just going to go and eat some Greek food, aren't you?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26If we are trying to improve our Greekness, we probably should,
0:21:26 > 0:21:27should we?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So, get stuck into soutzoukakia, basically meatballs,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and some barbecued octopus.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35If I didn't know what it was, I'd quite like that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36These are great.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Do you know what? I would go as far as saying, it's quite nice.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Have some, have some. You'll be surprised how good it tastes.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You can see the little suckers on it. Go for it.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Eurgh!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Urgh, look. It's fallen off.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The sucker? I'm feeling very Greek now.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57The first event is a Greek tradition - smashing plates.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Smash a stack of plaster plates as fast as you can,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and shout "opa" when you're done.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- That was over quickly.- I know. - Blink and you miss that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Don't try this at home, you need plates for dinner,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and you may actually hurt yourself.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I've always wanted to do this, you see.- I've always taken every care
0:22:16 > 0:22:19to not smash a plate. Petrie, you are going down.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21One, two, three...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23SMASHING
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Opa!
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Still going.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Opa! Finally.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Woo-hoo!
0:22:34 > 0:22:37And Naomi claims the bronze, what a smasher.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Opa!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Next up is the silver medal event, the grape stomp.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Crush some grapes using only your bare feet.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The winner is the one who makes the most grape juice,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and remember, it is the best of three, so the pressure
0:22:49 > 0:22:51is on, Ed - get stomping.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Did you wash your feet?- No.- Eurgh!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What are we doing?!
0:22:58 > 0:23:01One, two, three...
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Go!
0:23:03 > 0:23:06CHEERING
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I've got bigger feet than Naomi, I am hoping that gives me a
0:23:09 > 0:23:10mathematical advantage.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Come on.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Oh, no!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's in my toes!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21CHEERING
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Three, two, one...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Step away from the bowls!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Well, he definitely squeezed every last bit of energy out of the
0:23:33 > 0:23:37silver medal, but who has been pipped at the post and left feeling
0:23:37 > 0:23:42crushed? It's time to measure the results.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Come on!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Don't miss a drop.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Get that lovely juice in there.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It's pretty close.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- The tension is killing me.- Not another jug, surely? Oh, my word.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- What?- And that bit, measure that bit.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Oh, you did the same as three people together.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Oh.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Once again, Ed has put in his big foot in it,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09getting just over 4.5 litres to Naomi's four.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12I won't be sour grapes!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15CHEERING AND BOOING
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Thank you, Townsville, I couldn't have done it without your support!
0:24:18 > 0:24:20They're booing me over there!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And over here. Boo! Ed claims the silver
0:24:22 > 0:24:26with his juicy tootsies, so it all comes down to the gold medal
0:24:26 > 0:24:29event, and what better way to finish the Greekfest Olympics than a
0:24:29 > 0:24:32spot of old school Zorba's Dance.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38The first step is taking our right foot, and we are going right, and
0:24:38 > 0:24:41then your left foot is going behind.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Step behind, step, and kick with your left.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And then kick with your right. That's all it is.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Oh, right. - This gets faster and faster?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Yes. First it is going to start nice and slow.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Then it will start getting faster.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Left, right. Stamp left, stamp right.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00The faster you get, the more it looks like you know what you're doing!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Greek or Hellenic dancing dates back thousands of years, and it is
0:25:05 > 0:25:09a huge part of Greek culture, formed at celebrations, weddings and
0:25:09 > 0:25:13festivals. Zorba is the easiest, but there is a trickier dance to
0:25:13 > 0:25:15learn for later, so get practising!
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I don't like this one.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Night has fallen from the top to the bottom of your telly.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Ed and Naomi are going to dance
0:25:21 > 0:25:24two traditional Greek dances at the same time.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26There's loads of people out there.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It's a good job I'm not going to look silly in front of them.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33The first dance is Zorba.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34MUSIC: "Zorba's Dance"
0:25:34 > 0:25:38And off they go, and they both started well.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Ed and Naomi are evenly matched, step-by-step, and neck and neck.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46They may not notice our two are wearing fluffy slippers.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50These strictly Greek dancing judges will be awarding points for dancing
0:25:50 > 0:25:54skills and the person with the highest score will be the winner.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Wow, Naomi, showing off some fancy moves there!
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Ed, can you match her?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Oh, zing slipper slaps, Mr Petrie!
0:26:11 > 0:26:15And with Zorba completed, it's anybody's gold medal, but now for
0:26:15 > 0:26:17that trickier dance - the 12 step.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20It is their chance to impress the judges.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31It's still even in the early stages.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Nice technical skills from both of them.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Opa!
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Oh, but Ed's big feet, that served him so well crushing grapes, have
0:26:41 > 0:26:44let him down now. You'll lose points for that.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Keep smiling, Ed.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Oh, is Ed dancing to disaster?
0:26:55 > 0:26:56We never rehearsed this!
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Can he still skip his way to victory?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Or will it be Naomi who's laughing all the way to the trophy?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09APPLAUSE
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Very good!
0:27:11 > 0:27:16The dance is danced, the judges have judged, the scores are in.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20With Naomi and Ed sharing the medal so far, the winner of the gold
0:27:20 > 0:27:22will be the overall champion.
0:27:22 > 0:27:29And the winner for the All Over The Place Greekfest Olympics is...
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Naomi!- Yes! Thank you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Oh, I am so pleased. A well-deserved win.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Cheers, Ed.- In fact, I got you a victory drink to celebrate.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Brilliant, I am so thirsty after that.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's my grape juice from earlier.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49You have been watching All Over The Place Australia!
