0:00:02 > 0:00:04If you want to find out why I'm digging a hole in the ground,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09wild with gold fever in Victoria, Australia, then keep watching.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Eureka!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13No! You reek-a!
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Anyway, let's get the fun going, we're heading off with Cel...
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..Johny...
0:00:20 > 0:00:25- This is incredible.- ..an excited Sam and Mark...- Yeah! Woo-hoo!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27..Michelle...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30- and a very observant Naomi. - I spot that this was made of wood.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- I'd already spotted that.- Oh, yeah.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37# All over the place
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# 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 > 0:00:52# All over the place
0:00:52 > 0:00:55# All over the place
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# There's stuff to do Down Under that is totally ace
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- # And it turns up... - All over the place! #
0:01:02 > 0:01:05First up, we're heading to Western Australia
0:01:05 > 0:01:09and Perth, which is one of the windiest cities in the world.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Australia has over 150 different species of snake
0:01:13 > 0:01:15and one of the world's most deadly lives right here
0:01:15 > 0:01:18in Western Australia, the tiger snake.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Thankfully, David, here, is a specially-trained,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25snake-catching expert. Nothing's too slippery for his skills.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28It's a good idea to know what is out there and how to deal with it,
0:01:28 > 0:01:33as snakes can find a way into gardens and houses across Australia.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Sssscary!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Today, Ed and Cel are aiming to get their deadly reptile
0:01:38 > 0:01:41removals licence, but they're going to have to listen to David
0:01:41 > 0:01:44if they want to catch some snakes, even if they are made of rubber.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46THEY SQUEAL
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Ooh! So brave, boys!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51There is a bit more snake education we should give you
0:01:51 > 0:01:53before I let you loose on the real thing.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Tip one, always dress in protective clothing
0:01:59 > 0:02:01when you're out in the wilderness.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Top tip, don't wear a snakeskin jacket. Not only is it
0:02:05 > 0:02:08a crime against fashion, it may offend some slippery snakes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Silly Ed.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Tip two, do not approach a snake, even if you think it is dead.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Recently-deceased snakes can bite. Oh, and it might just be sleeping.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Silly Ed.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Tip three, if you're bitten, remain calm, so the venom does not spread.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Ask for a bandage technique and await the anti-venom
0:02:28 > 0:02:31administered by a professional.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Just don't become hysterical.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36HE LAUGHS
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Oh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44OK, David, well, I've learned how to handle a snake,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46deal with a snake bite and also got my tong and hook and bin skills
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- down to a T.- Yeah, think we're ready for our certificates now.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Gimme, gimme, gimme. - Whenever you're ready.- Not just yet.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Inside, we have three snakes for you to catch, so, please,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- take a bin and go and get them. - They're plastic ones, yeah?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02No, real ones.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06There's one there, on the floor, Cel! No, that's plastic.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Let's just check.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10OK, boys, there are some fake snakes to distract you, but you better
0:03:10 > 0:03:15watch out, because there are three real live snakes to catch.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Now this is just getting ridiculous. Look at these. There's jelly ones!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20THEY SQUEAL
0:03:20 > 0:03:22OK, come on, Cel, open the bin, get ready.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Number one - Stimson's Python, which likes to squeeze frogs to death
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and eat them.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's a bit harder when it's a real snake, I'm guessing.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- It is, indeed, but look at this. - That's masterful. Very good.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- In we go, nice and safe. How are you doing, my little mate?- Ta-da!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Bob is your uncle.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41No matter how many times I've seen a plastic snake,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- there's always a split second... - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:03:43 > 0:03:44THEY LAUGH
0:03:44 > 0:03:46But that's a real one.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Oh, it's going behind there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Number two - Woma Python,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53now an endangered species in Western Australia so, careful, boys.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Now you just want to use your tongs. There you go.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- I'm doing it, Cel, I'm doing it, I'm doing it.- There you go.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02In the bin, in the bin, there you go, mate.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yes! Just caught a snake!
0:04:08 > 0:04:14Third and fi... Oooh! Every time! Come on, you first.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16That's not real.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Oh! Look at that.- OK.- It's huge!
0:04:21 > 0:04:25OK, Ed? This is going to be difficult to pick up, I'm guessing.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26- Have a go, have a go.- Have a go?
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Number three - black-headed python, which can grow up to 3.5m in length.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- That's twice the height of Wayne Rooney!- Ed, where's the bin, pal?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- It's there. It's right in front of you.- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38THEY LAUGH
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Here we go. In the lovely bin.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Well played. In you go. Right in there.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- There you go, son. - In you go, my mate.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Wait a minute, that's cheating, guys.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- He's in the bin. Oh, he's a heavy one.- Is he?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58THEY GASP AND LAUGH
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Now are you proud of us, David? - Absolutely.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04And I'd like to award you your snake-catching certificates
0:05:04 > 0:05:07and just remember, Australian snakes are more scared of you
0:05:07 > 0:05:08than you should be them.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I must say, my opinion of snakes has changed since I've been here.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I've learned to love and respect them
0:05:13 > 0:05:15and maybe they're not all dangerous in Australia.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Maybe they are just misssssssunderstood.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24G'day and welcome to the dangerous animals self-help group,
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Australian branch.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29This evening, we'll be discussing in an open and supportive atmosphere
0:05:29 > 0:05:32the negativity that all dangerous animals have to face.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Great white shark, do you want to kick off, mate?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- How's your week been? - Not too good ,actually.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I mean, you know I've got 300 teeth. Well, they've just put up
0:05:41 > 0:05:45the price of toothpaste, so that's a bit of a pain in the fin.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Sorry to hear that. Oh, sorry.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's more the narrow-mindedness that gets me.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I mean, I've got this reputation of being a cold-hearted man-killer,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57but I rarely kill them, I just bite off an arm or something. No biggie.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I mean, why don't they focus on one of my many other talents?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Oh, yeah, don't you play the violin?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- No.- Snooker?- Never tried.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Although I've always thought I'd be quite good.- Swimming.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Exactly! Swimming! I'm a wonderful swimmer, but do they
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- focus on that? - BOTH: No.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Exactly, it's always the whole "killer" angle.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Now, why do you think that is? - Erm...I don't know.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Maybe it's because I'm called the Great White Shark?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24If I was called the Rubbish Pink Shark, perhaps people
0:06:24 > 0:06:26wouldn't be so intimidated.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, thanks for sharing, mate, anyone else?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31How about you, Box Jellyfish? Do you feel
0:06:31 > 0:06:34discriminated against because you're slightly on the poisonous side?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Well, I do, actually. It's the name-calling that gets me.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40They call me the sea wasp, the marine stinger.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yes, I have the quickest-acting venom known to science and, yes,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46my lovely tentacles contain around 5,000 stinging cells
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- but there's more to me than that. - Of course there is. Ow!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- You tell him, brother. Such as? - Well, look at me.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54I'm absolutely gorgeous, aren't I?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Well, I can't argue with that... in case you sting me.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So, finally, salt-water croc,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03you've famously got the most powerful bite known to man.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah, thanks for that, mate.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I usually average about 1,000 human deaths per year,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12so what that basically means is that I beat you and I beat you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Erm, this isn't a competition about who can kill the most people.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Certainly not a close one.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20It's about being misrepresented, about being overly violent
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- and deadly.- Not for me, mate.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I'm here for my dinner
0:07:23 > 0:07:26and I'm thinking the jellyfish for starters, shark for main.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27THEY GASP
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Oh, oh, oh.- Aargh.- Sorry. Sorry.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31What a pair of mugs.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Oh, Naomi "spotter" Wilkinson,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46it's a great day for spotting things, isn't it?
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Indeed it is, Ed "Spotter" Petrie, we love spotting things, don't we?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Oh, yes, love it passionately. And then telling all our spotter friends
0:07:53 > 0:07:55about it. It's what we live for.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Remember, if we spot anything of interest,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59we've got to write it in our spotting notepads
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and take a picture on our special spotting camera.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Absolutely.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07But we are in for a spotting jackpot today, Ed "Spotter" Petrie.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11An amazing collection of old ships, right here in Port Adelaide.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Have we got everything we need?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Yes, yes, I've sharpened our spotter pencils,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I've polished my spotter binoculars,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20I've made a thermos of spotter tea and I've made spotter sandwiches.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Oh!- They're your favourite flavour.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Gherkin and peanut butter. - Ooh! That'll hit the spot.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29But how are we going to get close enough to the collection to spot?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Don't worry about it, Naomi "Spotter" Wilkinson.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I've got special spotter connections.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Ahoy there, Captain Bouc. - Hello.- Hello, nice to meet you.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56You'll be pleased to hear this. I don't think you look 104 years old.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Not quite. Not yet. Getting there, but getting close.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So, what's your part in this collection, then?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Well, I run this little boat, Dolphin,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and I take people out and I show them
0:09:06 > 0:09:10the remains of the old ships which are out here and around the corner.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Can't wait to start spotting these. - Yep, we're looking forward to this.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Well, OK, hop aboard and we'll go find them.- Right.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20# I wanna sink to the bottom with you... #
0:09:20 > 0:09:23This collection of shipwrecks on the Port Adelaide River
0:09:23 > 0:09:25is the largest in Australia.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28There's sailing boats, steamboats and motor vessels,
0:09:28 > 0:09:29all beached in the shallow waters
0:09:29 > 0:09:31when the ships were no longer needed.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I shipreckon...
0:09:33 > 0:09:37this is a great place to spot ships from all over the world.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39First stop is the oldest ship in the collection.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Any ideas as to what made it move?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Goats on wheels inside, running around.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- No, no, no, ships don't have wheels. - People pushing from behind.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Swimming.- Swimming. - No, too hard. It was a sailing boat.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59That's a long way to sail.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Can we have a look at some more wrecks, please?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03# I wanna sink to the bottom... #
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Next port of call, the Sunbeam. This ship was also made in Scotland.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- And I take it the tree didn't used to be in there.- No.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16That's a recent addition.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20A not-so-recent addition is the Dorothy H Stirling,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23abandoned here in 1932.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Surely that's worth a spot.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Incredible to think we're standing on an old shipwreck.- Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- I spot that this was made of wood. - I've already spotted that.- Oh, yeah.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Built in 1920, Portland, Oregon, this one.- Right.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44The Dorothy.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well, you certainly know your facts, Naomi, which is just as well,
0:10:47 > 0:10:50because it's quiz time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Welcome to everyone's favourite game show about shipwrecks.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And there's been a few, hasn't there?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Is there anyone here on the shipwreck who'd like to play?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Oh, I will. I'll play. - The rules are simple.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Answer some questions about the shipwreck collection
0:11:09 > 0:11:12and, if you're right, you'll get the thumbs-up from Captain Bouc
0:11:12 > 0:11:14and the chance to search for treasure.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Thumbs down means your answer's wrong.- Question one.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21What was the first ship in this collection of wrecked ship?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Is it A - the Sunbeam?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26B - the Moonbeam?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Or C - the Quarantine?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31HE COUGHS
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I'll give you a clue. It was built in 1857, my favourite year.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I think it's the Sunbeam.
0:11:36 > 0:11:42Is correct! Yes, the Sunbeam was built in bonnie Scotland in 1857.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- You can go and find treasure, Naomi.- Yes!
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Can't find any treasure. I only found this.- Oh, well. Waste not, want not.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Question two.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57What was the first to ship that was scuttled here in Port Adelaide?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Was it A - the Semolina?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02B - the Semmin Holy?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Or C - the Semicolon?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Oh. I'll give you a clue. It was scuttled in 1909, my favourite year.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Well, the only one that sounds realistic is the Semmin Holy.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- It must be that.- Is corr...
0:12:15 > 0:12:16No. No, that's wrong.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- I pronounced it Semmin Holy and it's actually Seminole.- What?- Sorry.
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Question three.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Of the 40 wrecks in the collection,
0:12:27 > 0:12:32which of the following names are not legitimate boat names?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37Enterprise, Flinders, Jen, Annie, or Grace Darling.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Darling?- Yes, darling?- Oh, no, don't call me darling.- Bit awkward.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Which is it, then?- Grace Darling?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Oh, is incorrect.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49In fact, they are all legitimate boat names.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- So, you didn't say any incorrect boat names, anyway?- No.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- I couldn't have won?- I don't know.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Did I get that right or wrong? - I don't care any more.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01At least you saw it through to the bitter end.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17This, the desert, that most dangerous of places.
0:13:17 > 0:13:23Especially if you're a species known as the Edis Petrius, behind me.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25The Petrius is not originally from Australia,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27so when visiting the desert,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31it struggles with even the most basic survival skills.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Let's see if we can get a little bit closer to this very rare species.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Come on. We have to be very quiet. I don't want to startle it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Wow, look at this.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46He knows, naturally, to protect me from the baking sun
0:13:46 > 0:13:49in this Australian desert.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51This is incredible.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Amazing.- What's also incredible and amazing is that,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59here at Alice Springs Desert Park, you can explore not one, not two,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02but three, different types of Australian desert.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10There's lots of plants and wildlife.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Deserts are not all sand dunes, you know.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15In fact, almost 20% of Australia is desert.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Ed and Johny,
0:14:20 > 0:14:25you have 31 seconds to find out as much as you can about Desert Park.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ed, you have Leah, who works at the park.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Johny, you have Renata, who's a guide here.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Whoever finds out the most facts gets a special treat.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Three, two, one, go.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Is a desert park like a theme park? - No.- Have you got roller coasters?- No.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- Can you name a plant in the desert?- Mulga.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- What have you got?- Plants, animals!
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Another one.- OK, er... Witchetty.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- What's your favourite desert? - The Tanami Desert.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- What's your favourite dessert? - Chocolate!- That's mine too. Lovely.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Witchetty. Is that where witchetty grubs come from?- Yes.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Can you can eat witchetty grubs?- Yes.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Do you have snakes here?- Yes.- Aaah!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How long have people lived in the desert?- 35,000 years.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- That's a long time. - KLAXON
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I think we got lots of questions in there, didn't we?- Yeah, we did.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13And now I'm absolutely terrified!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16And the person who found out the most facts is...
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- ..Ed.- Oh, awesome.- Aaaaah!
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And here's my prize. Dessert in the desert.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Oh, save us just a little bit. - No.- Just a little bit.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Ed, I just want...- No, I'm really enjoying this hot cake.- No.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- In this hot desert! Nice warm cake! - I'm going to go and have some water.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Well, Ed, if you get a sore tummy from eating all that cake
0:15:41 > 0:15:43then you can try some bush medicine.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Local Aboriginal people have been using stuff
0:15:45 > 0:15:48that grows here in the desert for thousands of years.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51The desert doctor will see you now.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Looks like you've got a good set-up. What have we got?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55These three are antiseptics.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58You can grind it up on a grinding stone
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and you can mix it in with animal fat,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03so preferably emu's fat and goanna's fat.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06A lot of people like using it for arthritis.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08That what I'm getting my gran for Christmas.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Emu fat and some of that stuff. - I know.- I'm sure she'll love that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So, your witchetty grub, besides it being a source of food,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17you can use it for medicinal properties, as well.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19So, if you ever burn yourself, while it's alive,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22just crush it up and wipe it over the top of your burn
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and it dries, puts a sealant on it, and...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- So, I could use this to dig up some witchetty grubs?- Yeah.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- This is basically like a traditional Aborigine shovel?- Yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33OK. So, that's my grandad's Christmas present sorted, as well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Have you got anything for if you've been in the sun too long?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- I'm starting to get a bit hot. - Generally you just use shade.- Oh.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Where can I find some of that? - Don't worry about that, Ed.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44I think I know the perfect place.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Welcome to the Nocturnal House.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's one of the very best places
0:16:50 > 0:16:52to check out some of the Aussie desert wildlife
0:16:52 > 0:16:53that only comes out at night.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Oh, right. I'm more interested in the air conditioning.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Nice and cool after all that desert.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Don't get too comfortable there, Ed,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02because right behind you is the enclosure for the king brown,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05one of the deadliest snakes in the world.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I'm just going outside again.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10That's a shame. I wanted to check out some of the Aussie nightlife.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13And where better to check out the nocturnal nightlife
0:17:13 > 0:17:14than at a nightclub?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Especially if you're a couple of kangaroos.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19HIGH-PITCHED: Excuse me.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21DEEP VOICE: Excuse me, is this the nightclub?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22It's Rockturnal.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Australia's premier nightclub for nocturnal animals.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Isn't it the ONLY club for nocturnal animals?- Might be.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33But here at Rockturnal, we only let the very coolest animals inside.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- That means the wombats will be there. - Course they will!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- The wombats love it in here. Yeah!- Whoo-hoo!
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Oh, yeah.- Yeah!- Whoo-hoo!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Well, no. - BOTH: Oh.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47You see, your wombats live under the surface in super-long burrows,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51so they'll probably be in some dingy underground club dancing with worms.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- However that works. - I'll tell you who will be inside.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- The rock wallabies.- Yeah!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59# I'm not a pop wannabe
0:17:59 > 0:18:01# I'm a rock wannabe!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04# Rocking all night If you wanna follow me... #
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's not that kind of rock, is it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08They're called rock wallabies cos they hang out in cliffs
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and piles of boulders, not cos they're in a rock band.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12And if they were in there,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14your singing's probably scared them off.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- I'll tell you who will be inside. The spiny anteater!- Of course!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The spiny anteater loves it in Rock... Ow! Ooh!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- What's that?- Actually, the spiny anteater's out here.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26When it sees a predator, something he thinks is going to eat it,
0:18:26 > 0:18:29it digs into the ground, leaving only its spikes sticking up.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Looks like he got you a good 'un.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34So, what you're saying is, there's no-one in your stupid club.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Um, well...- Come on. We're going to find some proper nightlife.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Come on, guys. - No, hang on. Er, you can come in.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You can come in for free.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Ohh! Kids. Haven't got the brains they were born with.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- BOING! - Ow! Stupid spiny anteater!
0:18:50 > 0:18:52CRASH!
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Ed, here we are in Coffs Harbour.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Hey, I spy with my little eye something beginning with B.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Ooh.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10B, you say?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Tricky.- Yes, B.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Um...
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Ah! Beach!
0:19:17 > 0:19:18What? No.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Oh, OK. Oh, obvious. Blue sky.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- This is a joke, yeah?- Right, give me a clue.- You need a clue?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28For something beginning with B?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Yes. Preferably in song form.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34MUSIC STARTS
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- # It's a big banana - Yes, a big banana
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- # It's a big banana - Ooh, a big banana
0:19:39 > 0:19:43# Back in 1964 A man named John Landi
0:19:43 > 0:19:48# Thought a giant banana might come in handy
0:19:48 > 0:19:53# To help him sell roadside food from his banana plantation
0:19:53 > 0:19:58# He had one built in Coffs Harbour An exact recreation

0:20:00 > 0:20:03# Big bana-na-na-na-na-naa

0:20:06 > 0:20:08# Five high and two wide
0:20:08 > 0:20:11# And visitors to the theme park
0:20:11 > 0:20:13# Can even walk inside
0:20:13 > 0:20:15# It's not just its dimensions
0:20:15 > 0:20:18# That are interesting
0:20:18 > 0:20:21# It started a trend for Aussie big things
0:20:21 > 0:20:23# And, no, we're not jesting
0:20:23 > 0:20:25BOTH: # If they like it then they make a big thing of it
0:20:25 > 0:20:28# That's why we've come here just to sing of it
0:20:28 > 0:20:30# They're really, really into big stuff out here
0:20:30 > 0:20:33# And one big thing isn't enough out here
0:20:33 > 0:20:35# No-no-no-no-no-no
0:20:35 > 0:20:38# Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

0:20:50 > 0:20:52# Has become tradition

0:20:55 > 0:20:57# It's not an apparition

0:21:00 > 0:21:02# Each one answers to its mate out here
0:21:02 > 0:21:05# They're visible for miles and miles around, you see
0:21:05 > 0:21:08# And these aren't the only ones we've found, you see
0:21:08 > 0:21:11# There's 150 on this list Shall I read them all?
0:21:11 > 0:21:12# I think they've got the gist

0:21:13 > 0:21:15# then they make a big thing of it
0:21:15 > 0:21:17# That's why we've come here just to sing of it
0:21:17 > 0:21:20# If you ever find yourself in Australia
0:21:20 > 0:21:21# If you don't see a big thing

0:21:25 > 0:21:27- # Something beginning with B, wasn't it?- Yes!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I've got it, finally - it's Beyonce!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47You're here at the Golden Gateway Gold Dig,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50near Ararat in the state of Victoria. And if you haven't
0:21:50 > 0:21:52guessed already, Ed and Michelle are here to dig for real gold.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55The winner will be the person who finds the most.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56If no gold is found,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59then the person who finds the most hidden coins will win.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02This year, 150 people will be taking part in the dig,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05all of them hoping to strike it rich.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08It's time to meet the very generous man who lets people keep
0:22:08 > 0:22:09the gold they find on his land.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Here's Murray!
0:22:14 > 0:22:17So how much gold can people find in one dig here?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19The genuine gold, not the stuff that you've planted.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Ah, you can find very small pieces to big pieces,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25or maybe you can find a piece like this, here.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- This gold has been dug out of the ground.- Whoa!- Gosh!
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Yeah.- It's really heavy, as well, isn't it?- How much is that worth?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I believe it's 5,000-plus.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- 5,000?- Murray, look over there.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Yeah! - THEY LAUGH
0:22:40 > 0:22:42No, I wouldn't do that to you, Murray.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44I wouldn't do that to you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47So if I found a nugget like that today, I get to keep it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:53If you picked up a nugget or, say, 20,000, that is your gold.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55This is the best event we've ever done, Michelle!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57This is a great, great day. THEY LAUGH
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Cannot wait. Sounds incredible. - We need to get cracking.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- Yeah. See you later.- Righto. - I guess you'll be wanting this back.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Thank you. I will. Yeah, thanks very much.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So what do you have to do to become a gold digger?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Well, listen up - here are the steps.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14You need something to dig with.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16You need a hat to protect your head
0:23:16 > 0:23:17from the sun.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Most importantly,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21you need a metal detector.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23When the metal detector beeps,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24start digging.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25And dig some more.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And keep digging until you find something.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Well, there's definitely still gold in them thar hills.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Only ten years ago, this massive gold nugget,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42nicknamed Goldasaurus, was found in the area.
0:23:42 > 0:23:49It weights 4.4kg and is worth around £140,000,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52but during the gold rush, the Welcome Stranger nugget
0:23:52 > 0:23:54was the largest ever found,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56weighing a whopping 64kg,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59which is worth around £1.5 million.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02That's going to be heavy around your neck.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05So what are your top gold-finding tips, then?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Really listen to the gold detector.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And feel part of the gold detector, and it'll tell you where to go.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You've got a very fetching necklace on here.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Is this solid gold, by any chance? - Yes, solid gold.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- Dug it out of the ground with my own hands.- Wow.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Not many people that can say that.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24This guy here's got a Nugget that big! Unfortunately, it's a dog,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26called Nugget.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Now you have those nuggets of wisdom, let's start the event.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Remember, the more coins or gold you find,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34the more chances you have of winning.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Gold fingers at the ready!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Metal detector primed and ready, Michelle?- Let's do this.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47METAL DETECTOR BEEPS Yes! OK.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Ooh-ooh-ooh!
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I've found something! Yes! Yes!
0:24:55 > 0:24:56It's five cents.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Ooh-ooh, well done, Michelle.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02You're five cents closer to becoming a millionaire. Keep digging.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- METAL DETECTOR BEEPS - I've found the toilet.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Definitely made of metal.- Metal toilet, well done. Go spend a penny.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Oh, you haven't found any yet. Get on with it, Petrie.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Another five cents!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16That's more cents than Petrie's ever had.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Get it - sense? Never mind.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's amazing to think this is how some people
0:25:21 > 0:25:22spend their entire weekend...
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Oh, it's a nail!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26It's a nail!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28It's not just a nail - it's a rusty nail!
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Not quite a piece of gold or the coins you were looking for, Ed.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Where? Where, Mr Metal Detector?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37METAL DETECTOR BEEPS
0:25:37 > 0:25:39If I'm not mistaken, that is the sound of gold.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43No, it's another nail.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46You're the king of nails, Ed. Unbelievable.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50METAL DETECTOR BEEPS
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Oh.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Oh, has Ed found another nail? - Is that gold?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55I see what's happening.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58I wonder how long it'll take him to work out he's wearing a gold ring.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I'm not imagining this. This rock...
0:26:01 > 0:26:02is making a noise.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06So there must be some metal in here. Oh, hang on.
0:26:06 > 0:26:07I've got a ring on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08That was embarrassing.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- METAL DETECTOR BEEPS - Oh, you're joking.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- That's a really strong signal, as well.- Oh...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Now it's getting interesting.- OK...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20This has got to be good.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Can I just...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Hey, hey, hey! Hey, get off my patch!
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Yeah, get him out of there. He'll turn it into nails.
