0:00:20 > 0:00:22# Come and hide out with me. #

0:00:25 > 0:00:27G'day.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29You'll never guess where I've just been.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Oh, sorry. Welcome to my secret hideout.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Shall I tell you where I've been?

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Well... Oh! HONK!

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Ow! What's this?

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Ah-ha-ha!

0:00:40 > 0:00:41It's a boomerang.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44This is a clue as to where I've been.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46Any ideas?

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Australia! That's right!

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Australia is such a beautiful and strange place.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Because all the animals have been stranded on the island

0:00:54 > 0:00:59for millions of years, they've become quite different to anything

0:00:59 > 0:01:00else in the world. Ow! CRASH!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Ooh...

0:01:02 > 0:01:06I forgot that boomerangs come back to you when you throw them.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Right, I must remember not to throw this again.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Hey, what's that? WHOOSH!

0:01:14 > 0:01:17It's a sugar glider.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21Now, these beautiful creatures are often found in trees.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25And they have a rather clever trick up their big baggy sleeves.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29To get between the trees without having to climb down again,

0:01:29 > 0:01:32they jump out into the air and spread their legs to reveal

0:01:32 > 0:01:36big flaps of skin that act like wings.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39They can glide on the wind for over 50m -

0:01:39 > 0:01:42that's around half the length of a football pitch -

0:01:42 > 0:01:45which means they can avoid any animals on the ground

0:01:45 > 0:01:47trying to eat them.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51And it also means they can jump very quickly from tree to tree,

0:01:51 > 0:01:53or from bed to me.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Come on.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58BOING! Oop! There we go.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Come on.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02You can have a play in the hideout.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05They're not the only Aussie oddballs.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Just look at kangaroos.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Australia is such a big hot place,

0:02:09 > 0:02:12they need to be able to get around quickly

0:02:12 > 0:02:14without using too much energy.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15So, they hop.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17BOING! BOING! BOING!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Oh, strewth, this sand is hot.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Ooh! Ow! Eek! Ooh!

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Aren't they amazing?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH Ow!

0:02:25 > 0:02:26CRASH! Oooooh!

0:02:26 > 0:02:31Kangaroos and sugar gliders are mammals, just like you and me.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34But the females have pouches where they keep their babies,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37so they are put into a group called marsupials.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41When I was in Australia, I used my gizmo to shrink myself down

0:02:41 > 0:02:42and I jumped in one, too.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Whoa! Kip's right!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49This really is bouncier than a bouncy castle,

0:02:49 > 0:02:51but just as fun!

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Do you want to be like a marsupial, too?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- AUDIENCE:- Yay! - It's really easy.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59All you need is a bedsheet or a towel, or even a blanket.

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Great.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Now, you might need a grown-up to help you do this.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06First of all, spread the sheet out like this

0:03:06 > 0:03:09and put it in front of you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11And we're going to fold it over...

0:03:11 > 0:03:13like so.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Pick your sheet up and put it behind you.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20This is the part you might need a grown-up to help you with,

0:03:20 > 0:03:21but try and do it on your own.

0:03:21 > 0:03:26Bring the two ends in together, screw them both up and make a knot.

0:03:28 > 0:03:34Then turn it around and all you need is a toy.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I've got Roo and her baby here.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38There we go.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40One marsupial pouch.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47BOING! BOING! BOING!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54I think that's enough being a marsupial for one day.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Right then, Roo.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59You and your baby can go play.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's tough work being a marsupial.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Better watch out, Andy.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10WHOOSH! HE GASPS

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Ha! Can't get me this time.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17CRASH!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Dear, oh, dear.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Check this out.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24BOING! WHOOSH!

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I'm going home for my dinner. - Oh, he's off.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30But I think it's time for me to get to bed now, too.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34I'll see you next time for another adventure in my secret hideout.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH
