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