0:00:34 > 0:00:37As the morning sun was warming up the town.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41George was getting ready to deliver the post.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43But George had a problem.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46There wasn't any post to deliver.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47G'day, George!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Oh, um, morning Sammy...
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Have you lost something?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- There's no post!- Are you sure?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Yeah... I've checked...
0:00:58 > 0:01:01- There's...no...post! <- Cooee!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Ah... G'day, Mitzi.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Mornin', Mitzi.- What's up with him?
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- George hasn't got any post to deliver.- Great!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- What?- You can have the day off!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Mitzi's right, George.- Oh.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19George wasn't very sure about this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20He'd never had the day off before.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Meanwhile back at the homestead,
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Frank and Buster were getting ready to fly into town.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- Stand By! - BOTH: Standing by!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Chocks away, Buster!
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Chocks away, Frank!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Get the gate, Ned! - I'm getting the gate, Frank!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Buckle up, Buster!- Buckled up!
0:01:57 > 0:02:01The Koala Brothers needed to pick up their groceries
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and some big nails to fix the postbox.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Oh, these are beauties.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- But they take a lot of knocking in! - Hmm.- Hmm.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Oh!- Er...
0:02:16 > 0:02:18hello, everyone. Er...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Hi, George.- Yeah! Morning, George.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Hey...you're all dressed up!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- What's the occasion? - He's got the day off.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Wow! I wish I could have the day off!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Yeah! What have you got planned?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I...um, I don't know.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38That's why I've come here, um, for a bit of advice.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Right. Well, what do you like doing?- Delivering the post.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47On my day off, I always put my feet up and read a good book!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- That's a good idea.- Yeah!
0:02:49 > 0:02:53After all, you should take it easy on your day off.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57So George took everyone's advice.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59But as hard as he tried to relax,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02he couldn't stop thinking about the post.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Oh, mornin', Alice. Are you going to post a letter?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Hi, George. Um...I'm not sure.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13A letter. At last! A letter!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Ooh! It's my shopping list.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Hey! You look fancy!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Yeah, I-I've got the day off.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Lucky you!- Hmm, lucky me.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- We'll take some of these. - Wise choice, Frank.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Hey, Frank! George hasn't got his feet up any more.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Oh...- I don't think George is enjoying his day off.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Maybe we should help him out, Frank.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49What you need George is an interest.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52That's right! Something you can do when you have a day off!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But all I've ever wanted to do was be a postman.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Mmm. I've got an idea...sport!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02TOGETHER: Sport?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Sure. Everyone likes sport. And it's really good for you.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09That's right. It keeps you fit!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Good idea, Frank! - Meet us at the waterhole, George!
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Come on, Buster!
0:04:16 > 0:04:19As George made his way to the waterhole,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22he felt strange not having any letters to deliver.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Hi, Ned.- Oh, hello, George.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Er...you look funny.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I've got the day off. What are you doing?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I've found a really nice blue rock.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Why do you want a blue rock, Ned?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Oh, I'm collecting them.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Riiight.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Well, I've got to dash. I'm meeting Frank and Buster at the waterhole.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm doing sport.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Bye, George.- Bye, Ned.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Ha-ha!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Urmph!
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Frank's arranged a game of tennis for you - with Archie.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Have you played tennis before, George?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Nah. I can't say that I have.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Ha-ha-ha! It's simple really, George.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You just hit the ball over the net.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Ha-ha! Right. Off we go then!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22BOTH: Good luck, George!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Bad luck, old chap! Try and keep your eye on the ball, eh?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Let's give it another whirl.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Ha-ha!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Try and swing the racket this time, George.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40OK.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Gurmph!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Whoo!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Did I hit it?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! I say!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Good shot! Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56You're getting the hang of it! Ha-ha!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Right, let's see what you can do with an Archie special!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Gargh!- Whoa!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Ooh!- Oh, I say! Everything all right?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, I think so.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Jolly good! I don't know my own strength.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Perhaps tennis isn't for you, George.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I think you're right, Buster.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Thanks for the game though, Archie.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh, a pleasure, dear chap.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Now, if you don't mind, ha, I'm off for a jog.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Ha-ha-ha-haa! Bye!
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Bye, Archie. Bye!
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Why don't we meet at the homestead for a nice glass of lemonade?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Good idea, Frank.- Hmm.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41That'd be nice.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Hey, Ned, do you need a hand carrying your rock?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- You could put it in my satchel if you'd like.- Will it be safe?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Very safe. - Oh, that'd be a real help.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00George didn't mind that Ned's rock was really heavy.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04He had a delivery to make, and that's what mattered.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07When they eventually got to the homestead,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10they were all ready for a cool glass of lemonade.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13And this is my really special one.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It's a lovely collection, Ned.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Mmm. It must be great to have a hobby you really like.- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Hey! I remember delivering that postcard last week!
0:07:24 > 0:07:26It's got a pretty stamp on the back.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28ALL: Ooh!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Do you like stamps, George?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yeah! There are so many different ones
0:07:33 > 0:07:36from all over the world, you know.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Have you ever thought about collecting stamps, George?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42What...you mean like a hobby?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Sure. We could help if you like.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Between us we must have LOADS of stamps!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oh, yeah! - Yeah!
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Everyone searched for their old letters and postcards,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56so they could give George the stamps.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04George had a wonderful collection in no time.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Aw...thanks, everyone. - Don't mention it, George.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yeah! We're here to help.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14George was so happy he had a hobby.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Especially as it reminded him of being a postman.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Ho-ho.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Ah! These nails should do the trick.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Wise choice, Frank.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Mornin', all.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Morning, George. - Just the one today.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Ah, thanks.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Ah! Nice stamp.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Mmm?- On the letter. Nice stamp.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- You can have it if you'd like, George.- For your collection.- I can?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Aw, thanks.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Um...could you save it for me?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's just I've got so much post to deliver...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Sure. Just pick it up the next time you have a day off.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah. We'll save all our stamps for you if you like.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Thanks, Buster. Thanks, Frank.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Well, I'd, um, better get back to my round.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16BOTH: Bye, George.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20GEORGE HUMS
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Being a postman was a full-time job in the outback.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27But when George did have a day off, he had lots of stamps to collect.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Thanks to his friends, the Koala Brothers.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, that's a GREAT one!
