0:00:35 > 0:00:38You might have noticed that while Mitzi likes to help,
0:00:38 > 0:00:40she doesn't really like to do what others tell her to do.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Over this way a bit, Frank!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Can't I help?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48You are helping Mitzi.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Everyone's got an important job to do,
0:00:50 > 0:00:51and your job is to pass the nails.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56So how come it's your job to tell us what to do?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Making a seesaw can be a dangerous business, Mitzi
0:00:59 > 0:01:02and someone has to be in charge. Hammer, Buster.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hammer, Frank!- Nails, Mitzi.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09But how come you're the "someone in charge", Frank?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Well, I guess it was my idea to build the seesaw.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And I organised everything and then found you and Buster to help.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19So that's why I'm in charge.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24Well, I'm going to do something of my own so I can be in charge!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26All Mitzi needed now was to come up with her own idea.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33By the next day, Mitzi had worked out a plan.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38Hello, Mitzi. Just finishing my morning routine.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm going on a Big Adventure!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- You don't say! - Yeah. Do you wanna come?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47On a Big Adventure? Ho-ho!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Count me in! "Adventure" IS my middle name!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52What are we waiting for?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Not so fast, Archie.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's MY idea, you know,
0:01:57 > 0:01:59and I'M in charge,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01so you have to do as I say.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Stand in line!
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Do we have everything we need?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Of course we do!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I've got it all organised! Let's go!
0:02:11 > 0:02:17- Come on! BOTH:- Hop, two, three!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Hop, two, three!
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Hop, two, three! Hop, two, three!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Hop, two, three! - And halt!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- BOTH: Hi, Ned! - Hi, Mitzi! Hi, Archie!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Do you wanna come on our Big Adventure?- Er... Big Adventure?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yeah, it's going to be exciting, and tough and maybe even...
0:02:40 > 0:02:44dangerous. And I'M in charge.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Er... Well, I told Frank and Buster that I'd help them clean the plane.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Come on, Ned, Old Chap!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54It's a once in a lifetime experience. Not to be missed!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- I don't think so... I, er... - Oh, come on Ned.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00you can help clean the plane any day.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Oh...all right.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Hey, Ned! I'm in charge.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You won't know where to go unless you follow me!
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Stand in line!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Nice to have you on board, Mr Ned!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19And...
0:03:19 > 0:03:22hop, two, three! Hop, two, three!
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Hop, two, three...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Er...Mitzi, shouldn't we tell someone where we're going?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Don't worry, Ned, we'll be back before anyone even notices!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- But...- Come on!
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- Hop, two, three!- Two, three! - Hop, two, three!- Two, three!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Later that morning,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Frank and Buster were hard at work cleaning the plane.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Phew! It's a scorcher.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I wonder what's happened to Ned?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52He said he'd come and help us, didn't he?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yep, sure did. Odd.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Meanwhile, Mitzi was enjoying being in charge.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02But it wasn't quite so much fun for her friends.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Come on!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Hold on, Mitzi!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10OK. Now we're gonna play hide-and-seek.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Archie, you hide first.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Ned and I will count to ten.- But...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm in charge, Ned!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh-h!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21BOTH: Eight...nine...TEN!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23OK, Archie, coming to get you,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25ready or not!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Boo!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Argh!- Found you! Too easy.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Oh, dash!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Can I hide next?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oh! Good idea, Mr Ned!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Just wait a second!
0:04:41 > 0:04:46I'M in charge and I say it's MY turn to hide next.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So, come on. Start counting.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55One...two...three...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57G'day, Frank, Buster.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59BOTH: Hi, Sammy!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Have you seen Mitzi?- Er...- Uh-uh.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- No...- It's just...
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I've got her groceries.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09She's... She's not in...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I wonder where she's gone?
0:05:11 > 0:05:14First Ned, and now Mitzi...
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It's a mystery.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21There was something of a mystery at the water hole, as well...
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yoo-hoo! Anybody home?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Archie? Where are you?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh-h-h. What's this?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Food, water...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37a map and compass?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40But no Archie. Strange.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Can't we stop now, Mitzi? I'm tired.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Just a bit further, Ned. I'm looking for a good spot to have a picnic.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Ah, splendid!- But Mitzi...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57I'm in charge, Ned. Remember?!
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Right! This IS a good place!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Where's the bag with the food, Archie?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Er, the bag?
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- I thought you brought it, Mitzi. - ME?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Yeah. You're in charge.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16But... But I thought...
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Oh, no!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I want to go home.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25The map and compass are in the bag, too! With the food!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And I don't know where home is.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- But you did tell someone where we were going?- Oh!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Mitzi realised that being in charge wasn't as easy she'd thought.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42And Mitzi wasn't the only one who was worried.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47First Ned, then Mitzi and now Archie, as well.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Where could they be?
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Well, wherever they are, they must be getting pretty hungry by now.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58There's only one thing for it. We have to fly out and find them.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Get ready for take-off!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Right, Frank!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Luckily for Mitzi, Ned and Archie were ready and willing to help too.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I'm sorry, Archie.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Sorry, Ned. I haven't been a very good leader, have I?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's all right, Mitzi. Chin up!
0:07:16 > 0:07:18As soon as we're at the top we'll know exactly where we are
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and, we'll be as right as rain!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- MITZI SIGHS - Don't worry, Mitzi.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I'll make a flag to wave.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Someone'll find us!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Thanks, Ned...- I say. Coo-ee!
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- ECHOING:- Coo-ee! Coo-ee! Coo-ee!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45They must be out here somewhere.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48It's no use, Frank.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I can't see them anywhere.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53They can't have got too far, Buster.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56There might be some clues on the ground.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Prepare to land.- OK, Frank.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hey, look!
0:08:05 > 0:08:08ALL: It's them!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- HEY!- OVER HERE! Let's go!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK, Ned!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Mmm. Looks like some wool from Archie's jumper.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Have a look down here, Buster. Footprints in the sand.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25HOME: Mitzi?!
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Frank!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Are we glad to see you!
0:08:34 > 0:08:35Hello!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Well, Mitzi's Big Adventure had certainly been "exciting, tough"
0:08:42 > 0:08:46and even... "dangerous", but it had also nearly been a Big Disaster.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You know, being in charge is pretty hard work.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Yeah. Next time I'm in charge, I'll remember everything -
0:08:52 > 0:08:56the map and the compass.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59And you'll remember to bring the food, too, I presume?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Uh-huh. And... And we'll go at night so we can find our way by the stars.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'll bring plenty of marshmallows and hot chocolate.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11It'll be the Adventure of a lifetime! Anyone wanna come?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13OTHERS: Mitzi!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15SHE LAUGHS
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I know, I know!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20And next time I promise to tell everyone where I'm going
0:09:20 > 0:09:22BEFORE I set out.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25And Mitzi did keep her promise.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So, all's well that ends well!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Luckily, this time the Koala Brothers were there to help.
