0:00:57 > 0:01:01- # And it turns up... - # ..all over the place! #

0:01:01 > 0:01:03First off, Mount Tamborine.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04A high point in Queensland,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08even though Australia is the flattest continent on the planet.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Nothing quite like this, is there, Iain?

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Standing out in the wilds of the rainforest, that warm, moist air.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18That distinct smell.

0:01:18 > 0:01:19- PFFRT! - Eurgh...

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Agh!- Sorry, that was me.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I'm very nervous about the whole rainforest thing.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26- Why do I present telly with you? - THUNDER AND RAIN

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Ed, quick question.- Yeah?- How come you're not getting rained on?

0:01:28 > 0:01:31Oh, I think it's something to do with Mother Nature punishing you

0:01:31 > 0:01:33for making that disgusting smell

0:01:33 > 0:01:35in this enchanting, beautiful rainforest.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Well, it's not, though, Ed. Cos this is a cheap cloud graphic.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38POP!

0:01:38 > 0:01:42That is a member of crew... Who I'm having a word with later, mate!

0:01:44 > 0:01:46..pouring water over me with a watering can.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Come on, Iain.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Stop being so wet.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Revenge is sweet, mate.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Iain, you did deserve it.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54I smelt that one here in the voiceover booth.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Ed and Iain are here in the Tamborine Rainforest,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00which surrounds Tamborine Mountain in a place called Tamborine.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02The mountain is 560m high, which is...

0:02:06 > 0:02:07It's estimated that a Australia

0:02:07 > 0:02:11is covered by a massive 4.2 million hectares of rainforest,

0:02:11 > 0:02:14which is over double the size of Wales.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17The Tamborine Rainforest contains this - the canopy walk,

0:02:17 > 0:02:21which is the longest treetop canopy walk in South East Queensland.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- You dried off quick. - Yeah, I done my hair, and everything.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27You look pretty!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Ed and Iain, you have 30 seconds to find out as much as you can

0:02:31 > 0:02:33about the rainforest canopy walk.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Ed, you've got Nick, who knows about the structure.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Iain, you've got Justin, who knows about the wildlife.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Whoever finds out the most facts is the winner.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Three, two, one, go!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- When was the Skywalk built?- 2009.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- What's the most dangerous animal you have?- That we have here?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- Yeah.- Probably a brown snake. - A brown snake?

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Howe much forest is there, how much rainforest?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02Here we've got about 35 acres of rainforest, privately owned.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Do you have duck-billed platypus?

0:03:04 > 0:03:05- We do, yeah.- Yeah?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07How many visitors do you get a year?

0:03:07 > 0:03:09We get around 150,000 through the property here.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- You ever been bitten by a duck-billed platypus?- No.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Do people hug the trees?- A lot do.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16- Do they?!- Yeah!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Do you like working here? KLAXON

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Oh, time up! We'll never know if Justin likes working here,

0:03:21 > 0:03:23but Justin, I like you, and that's all that matters.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27And the person who found out the most facts is...

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Ed.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Argh!- Yes!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Oh-ho-ho! What's the prize? What's the prize?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- A picture of me.- Oh.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Oh, what was the point of that, then?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41This is Thunderbird Park, also on Tamborine Mountain,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44and it has the largest deposit of thundereggs in the world.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Yes, you heard me correctly, "thundereggs".

0:03:47 > 0:03:50And the boys are digging for them. Nice to see them doing some work.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Thundereggs are ancient volcanic rocks

0:03:52 > 0:03:54which are formed over millions of years,

0:03:54 > 0:03:57and have nothing to do with actual eggs.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Got loads of thundereggs, mate. - Got more than you, mate.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01Hey, guys, how did you go?

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Gary, I've nailed it.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I-I rocked it!- You rocked it.- Yeah.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08That's the biggest bucket of rocks I've ever carried around.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12To open the eggs, Gary slices them in half with a diamond saw.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15He's an expert, remember, so don't try this at home.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17So, Gary, what we're about to see in here

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- was trapped in there before the dinosaurs.- Yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23200 million years in the making, folks.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25All the minerals have leached in,

0:04:25 > 0:04:27the heat and pressure's cooked it for 200 million years.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Incredible.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Amazing, aren't they? - They're great, man.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32I love these things.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Although I don't think they should call them thundereggs.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36- Why's that?- It's a bit dangerous.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38What if someone tried to cook and eat them?

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- It's a health and safety nightmare. - That would never happen.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Unless...

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Hello, and welcome to Poorly Researched Cooking.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Unfortunately, my co-host, Tamara, can't be with us today,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52cos it turns out those red berries that Tim put in his crumble

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- WERE poisonous after all. - Get well soon.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58And don't worry about the toilet - we're just going to replace it.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01On today's show, to avoid any further...incidents,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Tim's promised that we're just going to cook eggs.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06- But not just any old eggs.- Oh, no.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09We're cooking with thundereggs.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11I'm sure they taste better than they sound.

0:05:11 > 0:05:12- Yum, yum!- Or perhaps not.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Where did you get this, in a shop or something?- No.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20I found them next to the dirt and animal droppings on the forest floor.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22I can hardly wait.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26TIM CHUCKLES So, to make a thunderegg omelette,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28you just crack the egg against the side of a bowl...

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Or use the blunt edge of a knife.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Or, or perhaps...just the side of a work top, so...

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Maybe you should give us a minute.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Well, the good news is that Tim's finally managed

0:05:47 > 0:05:50to get his thunderegg open. So, Tim, what was inside?

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Well, what do you expect is inside an egg?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Er, the protein-packed base of a delicious omelette?

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Not even close.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01It turns out that thundereggs were created millions of years ago

0:06:01 > 0:06:03when a gas bubble got trapped in cooling lava.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Water trickling over the rock slowly deposited minerals inside,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- creating its colourful and hard centre.- Of course.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13You can't make an omelette out of solid rock.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Not in the time we have available, Michael.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19So, luckily, here's one I created earlier.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20Tuck in, mate.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Join us tomorrow, when Michael will find out...

0:06:29 > 0:06:30MICHAEL CHOKES

0:06:30 > 0:06:33..which one of my steak recipes is chewier, this one...

0:06:33 > 0:06:35- or this one.- Mm, no.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Can't wait, mate.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Crumble?- Oh, lovely!

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Don't mind if I do.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06So this is a tea shop, right?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Mm, not exactly. But Maurice will tell you more.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10- Oh, hello, Maurice.- Hi.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Pleased to meet you.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13- You, too.- There we go.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, welcome to Bygone Beauties.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19This is an antique emporium and tea room,

0:07:19 > 0:07:22and we house the world's largest private collection of teapots.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Tea isn't from the UK or Australia - it's from China...

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Tea lovers were said to drink straight from the spout.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Don't let Maurice catch you doing that, boys!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37The British public do love a cuppa - almost as much as Ed.

0:07:37 > 0:07:38In fact...

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Time to get the kettle on -

0:07:43 > 0:07:46my favourite tea-based game show's about to start.

0:07:46 > 0:07:47Welcome to...

0:07:49 > 0:07:51With your host...

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Barry MacManamanamanamus!

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Now, I've got ten potty ladies,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59all waiting for that one thirsty lad.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01If they don't like what they see,

0:08:01 > 0:08:03all they have to simply do

0:08:03 > 0:08:04is take off that lid.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07No likey, no liddy.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Let's meet our first tea lover!

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Wahey!

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Ladies, I give you Ed Petrie from Birmingham!

0:08:14 > 0:08:16- I'm from Rustington. - Near Birmingham.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- No.- Ed Petrie from Birmingham.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Now, tell me, Ed - do you fancy a brew?

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Yes.- No can do!

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Until you've played Take Me Spout. Let's begin.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Tell the ladies, what are you after today?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Well, I'm looking for a sophisticated older teapot,

0:08:33 > 0:08:37preferably older than me, and made of fine bone china.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40So an older lady with a bit of class.

0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Yes, Barry.- Oh, dear.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45I can see some of our potty ladies have already removed their lids.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Ahh.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48This lovely owl design from 1958 -

0:08:48 > 0:08:51fine china from Fitz and Floyd.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Tell me, what didn't you like?

0:08:52 > 0:08:54- HOOTS:- You!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I can tell you, she won't be keeping YOUR tea cosy tonight!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59CANNED LAUGHTER

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Now, carry on

0:09:00 > 0:09:02and let the tea see the bag.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Right, well, I'm looking for someone - sorry, someTHING -

0:09:05 > 0:09:11really big, that can hold four cups of tea and keep it piping hot.

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Right.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Well, Mr Petrie, I can tell you...

0:09:15 > 0:09:18You've got yourself a tea date!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Now, let's find out a little bit more

0:09:20 > 0:09:22about these final two ladies.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23Ahem...

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Now, yes, we have the decorative commemorative teapot

0:09:26 > 0:09:29from the coronation of our Queen, Elizabeth II.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34This, here, is the Josiah Wedgwood creamware from 1792 -

0:09:34 > 0:09:36very old, just like you asked for.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38You have to remove the lid of the lady

0:09:38 > 0:09:42who you don't want to take out on a tea date.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43Off you go.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46Ooh!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Is it the decorative...?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50No, he's moving over. Ooh!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Ooh... Oh!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Would you look at that?

0:09:55 > 0:09:59Congratulations, it must have been desTEAny.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01HE LAUGHS

0:10:01 > 0:10:02Off you go, now. Thank you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Hot tea! Oh, Ed, you're potty.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Maurice's tea emporium specialises in serving a traditional high tea,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13and there are certain rules on how to be polite

0:10:13 > 0:10:14while you're drinking it.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Maurice will be on hand, judging Ed and Cel's table manners,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20and there's a cake-sized prize for the winner.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21Gentlemen, tea is served.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26- That goes on... - You don't know what you're doing.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Look, I'll do it. Just put it through my strainer.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Look at this, Maurice, I know what I'm doing!

0:10:32 > 0:10:33There we go, very nice.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35PHONE RINGS

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Oh, did you leave your mobile phone on?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38That's very rude, isn't it?

0:10:38 > 0:10:41When one's trying to concentrate on conversation.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Um.. Oh, sorry, Ed.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Where's your pinkie?

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Oh!

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Didn't you see it? It was there all the time.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50- CEL SLURPS - Slurp!

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Was that a slurp?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Was that a slurp? Ooh, and a bit of snot coming out the nose!

0:10:55 > 0:10:56That's not very British is it?

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Maybe you should use the napkin to wipe it up.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- There you go. - This has been an absolute shambles.

0:11:06 > 0:11:07It's like a chimp's tea party.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Let's see what Maurice made of that performance.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Well, hello there, Ed and Cel.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13How did you enjoy that?

0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Beautiful.- Exquisite.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Well, I wish I could say that, watching you.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18- Oh...- Brilliant.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Perhaps one of the worst things that I've ever seen

0:11:21 > 0:11:24is somebody use their napkin as a handkerchief.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I think, along those lines,

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- I'd have to award you this cake here, Ed.- Ah!

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- There you go.- Thank you very much!

0:11:33 > 0:11:36See? I'm an ambassador for our country.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39I think there's only one way to eat this.

0:11:39 > 0:11:40Mmm!

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Tea-licious!

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Come on, Michelle, keep up!

0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Sorry, Ed!- Have you got everything?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Yeah, I think so.- The boomerang?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Check.- The painted boomerangs?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Check, check.- The bush telephone?

0:12:00 > 0:12:01Check.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Aboriginal painting?- Check.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05What about marngrook football, we haven't forgotten that?

0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's somewhere... Yep, check.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Great, There you go. Five things you didn't know about Aboriginal people.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Goodbye.- Hold on a minute...

0:12:12 > 0:12:14The audience haven't even seen the film yet!

0:12:14 > 0:12:17Really? Come on, you lot! Keep up.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Previously on All Over The Place - Australia...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Ed and Michelle arrived at the Grampian region of Victoria,

0:12:23 > 0:12:26which is called Gariwerd by Aboriginal people,

0:12:26 > 0:12:29to find out about Aboriginal culture.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33At the Brambuk Cultural Centre, they discovered five things that are

0:12:33 > 0:12:37important to the Djab Wurrung and the Jardwadjali Aboriginal tribes.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46# Boom boom boom Everybody say "Boomerang"

0:12:46 > 0:12:47# Boomerang! # Where's it gone?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49Where is it gone? Oh, there it is!

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Wicked!

0:12:51 > 0:12:52That's brilliant!

0:12:52 > 0:12:53You hardly moved from the spot!

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Meet Paul, who's Aboriginal

0:12:55 > 0:12:58and knows a thing or two about boomerangs.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00- There's a flat side and there's a sort of round side...- OK.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Flat side in your palm.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06And have the boomerang angle at about a 45-degree angle.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08OK, enough chat. More action.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Wow, look at that! It's coming back.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Or not.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13That didn't come back!

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Yes. There we go.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Come on, come on! Come on, Boomie!

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Not bad!- Woo-hoo!

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Nice boomerang dance, Ed.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23Any idea where my last boomerang went, Paul?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25It'd be good to find out.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- I think I've got an idea.- Oh...

0:13:32 > 0:13:36This is one of the oldest paintings in history.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38So, Paul, just how old is this Aboriginal painting?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's 22,000 years old.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43- 22,000 years old?!- What?

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Definitely one of the oldest in Australia.

0:13:45 > 0:13:46What's it a painting of?

0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's actually a paining of our creator spirit, Bunjil.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51He's our version of God.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54He's the one who created our laws and customs, the land,

0:13:54 > 0:13:57the waters and the wildlife for us so we can survive.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02This image has been put here so our younger generation can grow up

0:14:02 > 0:14:05and learn how important Bunjil was to our culture.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08So, Paul, is there any chance we can have a go at doing some rock art?

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Yeah, sure. Come with me.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Always want to get your hands dirty, don't you?

0:14:12 > 0:14:13SHE LAUGHS

0:14:13 > 0:14:16I've picked a special rock for you guys to paint on,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- and it's totally allowed, you've got special permission.- OK.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28The clay is ground up and water is added to make the paint.

0:14:28 > 0:14:29It's time to get messy.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31And this is exactly the sort of thing

0:14:31 > 0:14:33that people would have been using 30,000 years ago?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Exact same stuff.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Before it dries you want to go...

0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Leave your mark.- Amazing!

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Three, two, one...

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Hey! You like that?

0:14:52 > 0:14:53BUZZING

0:14:53 > 0:14:55- What's Paul doing now? - Oh, he's making a telephone call.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Right, it looks like he's swinging around

0:14:57 > 0:14:59a bit of wood on a string to me.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01No, it's a bush telephone.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Swinging these flat bits of wood

0:15:03 > 0:15:05makes a noise that can be heard

0:15:05 > 0:15:07by other tribes up to 3km away.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11A slow spin is a warning, but a fast spin like this means an invitation.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14I wonder what monthly tariff he's on.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Hope he doesn't get more free minutes than me.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23A lot of the boomerangs have dots on them.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24What do the dots mean?

0:15:24 > 0:15:30Anything with dots or artwork on the artefacts, it's telling a story.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Instead of reading a book, we do it for artwork, you know?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41OK, I want to paint where I came from.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I came from CBBC back home, so I'll paint Dodge.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48Again, like in the rock art,

0:15:48 > 0:15:52all of these paints are totally natural, and come from the earth.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Look at those vibrant colours!

0:15:54 > 0:15:56I hereby declare mine finished.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Yay!- Awesome job.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Hacker on the end, smiling away.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Oh, that's really good!

0:16:02 > 0:16:05- You've done a good job of that. - That is good, actually. I love it.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07Oh, Dodge and Hacker will be proud.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Hey!

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Marngrook is like an Aboriginal version of rugby.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18The rules are simple - the game starts

0:16:18 > 0:16:20when the ball is thrown in to the air,

0:16:20 > 0:16:22and you score by hitting the spear with the ball.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25But if someone tags you, then you have to give up the ball,

0:16:25 > 0:16:29and the mayhem starts all over again.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30I really want to win a game of marngrook.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Don't you think that'd be a bit embarrassing?

0:16:33 > 0:16:34I mean, they're little kids.

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Rargh!

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Someone's going to get a time out on the naughty step.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42You might have noticed, this isn't your regular ball.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44No, it's made out of possum skin,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47and is filled with bark, grass and charcoal.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- You didn't tag me!- I did!- No.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52The most fun you could have with a dead possum, ever!

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Rargh!

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Run, Michelle, run! Go!

0:16:58 > 0:16:59Run like the wind!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03He's catching up...

0:17:03 > 0:17:04- Yes!- Yeah!

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Better luck next time, Ed.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Here we are at one of the most iconic buildings in the world,

0:17:18 > 0:17:19the Sydney Opera House.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Ed...I thought we were doing the opera song now.- Yeah, we are.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I've been having singing lessons specially,

0:17:24 > 0:17:26so I can hit that big note at the end.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Good. But hadn't you better put your fat suit on first?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- BOING! - Eh?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- BOING! - Ooh! Yes, good point. Sorry.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34What?!

0:17:34 > 0:17:35BOING!

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Right, let's do this.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Ladies and gentlemen, we give you...

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Sydney Opera House... - BOTH: ..the Opera!

0:17:49 > 0:17:51# To find the design

0:17:51 > 0:17:55# There was a competition

0:17:55 > 0:18:02# Danish man Jorn Utzon won with his submission

0:18:02 > 0:18:06# With optimism

0:18:06 > 0:18:09# Australia was filled

0:18:09 > 0:18:16# Who could have known it would take 14 years to build?

0:18:16 > 0:18:20# In Sydney Harbour

0:18:20 > 0:18:23# Right by the sea

0:18:23 > 0:18:27# The Opera House stands

0:18:27 > 0:18:31# Impressively

0:18:31 > 0:18:34# So famous

0:18:34 > 0:18:37# I'm sure you've heard

0:18:37 > 0:18:40# It's image known

0:18:40 > 0:18:44# Throughout the world

0:18:44 > 0:18:50# It cost so much it was hugely over-budget

0:18:50 > 0:18:54# 100 million

0:18:54 > 0:18:57# But who could begrudge it? #

0:18:57 > 0:18:59BOING!

0:18:59 > 0:19:04# The greatest venue the world has ever seen

0:19:04 > 0:19:11# And it was opened by Her Majesty the Queen.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15# In Sydney Harbour

0:19:15 > 0:19:19# In New South Wales

0:19:19 > 0:19:23# The Opera House stands

0:19:23 > 0:19:27# Like a ship sails

0:19:27 > 0:19:33# Protruding into the sky

0:19:33 > 0:19:40# At over 22 storeys high

0:19:40 > 0:19:43# The concert hall

0:19:43 > 0:19:46# With its vaulted ceiling

0:19:46 > 0:19:50# To sing upon this stage

0:19:50 > 0:19:53# There's no better feeling

0:19:53 > 0:20:00# 2,500 can watch from the stalls

0:20:00 > 0:20:02# Imagine how it sounds

0:20:02 > 0:20:06# When they all shout "Encore!" #

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Get on with it!

0:20:10 > 0:20:14# It's Sydney Harbour

0:20:14 > 0:20:18# By now you know

0:20:18 > 0:20:21# The Opera House is

0:20:21 > 0:20:25# The place to go

0:20:25 > 0:20:31# A wondrous sight to see

0:20:31 > 0:20:35# This final note is

0:20:35 > 0:20:37# Too hi-i-i-gh

0:20:37 > 0:20:44# For me-e-e-e-ee. #

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Ed, remind me why you've got us

0:21:00 > 0:21:02dressed up looking ridiculous in the middle of nowhere again.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Johny, I keep telling you, we've come all the way from the UK,

0:21:05 > 0:21:09trekking through the Aussie outback to deliver this letter.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Come here, let me have a look. "Boss Drover

0:21:11 > 0:21:13"Camooweal, Drover's Camp Festival.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15What's a drover when it's at home?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I think they're some kind of big, burly Aussie cowboy.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19To the drover's camp!

0:21:19 > 0:21:20Don't worry, boys,

0:21:20 > 0:21:23your postman skills will come in very handy later

0:21:23 > 0:21:24at the drover's camp mail race,

0:21:24 > 0:21:28the highlight of the annual Camooweal Drovers Festival.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Teams of four willing postmen and woman must race a cart down

0:21:31 > 0:21:33the highway, picking up and dropping off mail

0:21:33 > 0:21:35and passengers along the way.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38First team over the line wins. Ed's right, though.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Camooweal is famous for big, burly Aussie cowboys,

0:21:41 > 0:21:45or drovers as they're known here, and the festival celebrates them.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48Droving involves moving cattle across the sandy outbacks

0:21:48 > 0:21:52of Australia on horseback, and every year dozens

0:21:52 > 0:21:56of drovers come down to round up cattle, spin yarns and crack whips.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58So, before you make your special delivery in the mail race,

0:21:58 > 0:22:02it's time to find out a bit more about some key droving skills

0:22:02 > 0:22:04from the experts.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Let's see how they get on with some whip cracking.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09We're here with Stumpy.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12He's an expert drover and a dab hand at whip cracking.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14So why are drovers good at whip cracking, Stumpy?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16Oh, it's a traditional thing.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Every drover carried a whip and it's just to keep the cattle moving.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22You went out to the side and cracked the whip, if you're

0:22:22 > 0:22:24in the paddock mustering the horses, it puts all the horses together.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27You don't actually hit the beast with the whip,

0:22:27 > 0:22:30it's just to get them moving in the morning.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38That loud crack is it breaking the sound barrier.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Oh, I want a go!

0:22:42 > 0:22:44So you swing the whip...

0:22:44 > 0:22:45Yep.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Very wise, Stumpy! Very wise! - I don't blame you, to be honest.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54WHIP SWISHES

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh! It's harder than it looks, this, isn't it?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59There's some cows over there laughing at you, Johny.

0:22:59 > 0:23:00WHIP CRACKS

0:23:00 > 0:23:01Laugh now!

0:23:03 > 0:23:05That's really hard!

0:23:05 > 0:23:07Aaah!

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Get me away from that thing! You have a go, Ed!

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Let's see if competitive Ed can do any better.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Bring it back and crack. OK. So like that...

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Whoa!

0:23:20 > 0:23:23Yeah, not so smug now, are you, Ed? It's not that easy, is it?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25I'm sure I can do this.

0:23:25 > 0:23:26- WHIP CRACKS - Stumpy makes it looks so...

0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Oh, I did it, I did it!- You got it.

0:23:28 > 0:23:29Nearly got it.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31- WHIP CRACKS - Yeah!

0:23:31 > 0:23:33He's whip cracking. Pretty good.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Not to bad at all, Ed.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Now, time to get some proper Aussie bush tucker down you

0:23:37 > 0:23:40and get your energy levels up for the main event - the mail race.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Let's get down to town

0:23:44 > 0:23:47- and find out if we're any better at delivering mail.- Come on then.

0:23:47 > 0:23:48Ya!

0:23:50 > 0:23:53This cart's missing something and I can't put my finger on what it is.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54Someone with a brain?

0:23:54 > 0:23:58At the drover's festival, they celebrate the Aussie postal service.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00They used to do the rounds on horseback

0:24:00 > 0:24:03and they remember this by racing up and down the street, obviously.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Unlike the old vehicles,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07these post carts don't have horses pulling them.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Today Ed and Johny will have to toughen up to become

0:24:09 > 0:24:12the meanest postmen in the West...of Queensland.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Ed "Handle With Care" Petrie.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Speed - first class. Fastest stamp-licker in the West.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23No postcode and the incorrect stamps. Do you feel lucky, punk?

0:24:23 > 0:24:24Well, do you?

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Johny "Return To Sender" Pitts.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32Speed - airmail. Skill - handling restricted goods.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35This town isn't big enough for parcels over 20kg,

0:24:35 > 0:24:37with a maximum thickness of 46cm.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41But they can't do it on their own.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44They will need some team-mates to help them deliver the goods.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46So I'm here with Ethan and Paige.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49This is my team and we're going to kick some butt today.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Come on, what's the game plan, guys? - You know, just beat people.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Win the race. Have fun doing it.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55The person we're trying to beat

0:24:55 > 0:24:58is this really tall, gangly English guy called Ed.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Look out for him, he's a bit of a cheater as well.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Put it there, come on, guys. Woo!

0:25:02 > 0:25:03Yes! Team Johny!

0:25:03 > 0:25:06So these are my team-mates - Artie and Travis.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08- You know the rules, yeah?- Yes.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I think they know better than me,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- and you know to look out for Johny, yeah?- Johny?

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yeah, that's the guy we're going to try and beat.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17He's got curly hair, very bad personal hygiene.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21You'll smell him a mile off, OK? Yeah, are we going to beat Johny?

0:25:21 > 0:25:22- Yes!- Yes, we're going to beat Johny!

0:25:22 > 0:25:24On the count of three.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27One, two, three.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30And they're off and running under a scorching Queensland sun.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34They're pounding down this highway and it looks to me like, yes,

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Ed seems to be just edging ahead, but it's still pretty much

0:25:37 > 0:25:40neck-and-neck as they come up to the first stop.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43The first stop is the mail sack pick up.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46The whole thing here is getting out, getting the mail sack

0:25:46 > 0:25:49and getting back into the cart as quickly as possible.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Ed's looking confident.

0:25:51 > 0:25:56Johny's not. He's panicking. And quite rightly so, cos Ed's away.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58His team are off and running. Come on, Team Ed.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Where are you, Team Johny? - Come on, we can catch these!

0:26:01 > 0:26:03We've got this, come on!

0:26:03 > 0:26:05You can hear the determination in his voice,

0:26:05 > 0:26:07but will it be enough for Team Johny?

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Yes, it will!

0:26:09 > 0:26:12They've caught them as they come up to pick up the last passenger

0:26:12 > 0:26:14and then it's on to the home straight.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17It's neck-and-neck right now.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Team Ed, Team Johny, going for it on the home straight.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24But Ed is sounding tired...

0:26:24 > 0:26:27And Team Johny have opened up a massive gap as they come up
