Everyone's getting ready for the big trip to the Big Sandy.

-Are you excited, Little Sandy?

-Little Sandy in the Big Sandy? Whoo-hoo!

-I can't wait. It's going to be big.

-And sandy.

Hmm. Huh? Oh, ha-ha.

Hup.

-Oh, no.

-Where's the ball gone?

Where's Hobart? Hobart, oh, Hobart!

-Hobart!

-Oh!

NUMPUPS: Hobart's found the ball.

-Are you excited about the big Big Sandy big trip?

-Everybody's going.

Are you excited, Hobart? Are you? Are you?

You know, I love sand as much as the next Numtum,

but I was hoping for some me time, today.

You know, some time on my own to catch up on some reading

-and relax a bit.

-Aw, you have to come, Hobart.

We need you to pick the winner of the sandcastle competition.

And to hand out my sand-spotting sheets.

Please.

Well...

Pleeease.

-OK, I'll come.

-Yay!

Prickled onions for Billy, Birdie Bites for Larry

and ten bags of Termite Treats for ten Numtums.

-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...

-Nine?

-There should be ten!

-We need one more bag to make ten.

One more bag of Termite Treats needed!

-Humpty Do!

-Erm, I was just checking it.

Nine bags plus one more makes ten.

Ten bags of treats for ten Numtums.

-Oh, what's next?

-Larry and Billy have their buckets and spades,

but we'll need some for the Numtums.

Ten buckets and spades for ten Numtums.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine.

-And we need...

-One more to make ten.

Ah!

Nine buckets and spades. With one more, that's ten. Ha-ha.

To the carts.

-Whoa!

-Gladdy.

-I think Hobart is loud enough without his megaphone, ha-ha.

-Gladdy!

-Coming!

-Got everything?

-Come on, let's get going.

-Are we all here?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Nine plus one more, ha-ha, ten. Ten Numtums.

-ALL: Yay!

-An echidna...

-Whoo-hoo!

-..and a lyrebird.

-Whoo-hoo!

-We're all here ready to go.

-But who knows the way? Hobart?

-Afraid not.

-Bendy Go?

-Uh-uh, not me. Do you know, Flinders?

Erm, I think...let me just...

We need to go, erm...that way?

Never fear, Billy's here. I know the way. Follow me, everyone.

-Hang on, where's my megaphone?

-Then let's go.

Maybe Gladdy's left it inside.

Big Sandy, here we come!

Hey, wait for me! Wait, I don't know the way!

You can't leave me on my own.

Oh, wait a minute...on my own...

Oh-ho-ho! ..by myself. At last, some good old me time.

-We're here.

-It's really big.

-And sandy.

Hello, I'm Billy and I'll be showing you around today.

To your left, you will see sand,

to your right you will see sand and if you look way over there

on a clear day, you can just see, ha-ha, some more sand.

Wow, I've never seen so many grains of sand.

Bendy Go, please take a photo of me and this grain. It's ever so rare!

Hey, Coogee, do you want to play a stick game?

All this sand and you want to play sticks. Oh...

-Let's play a Super Numtum game.

-Oh, yes.

He-he-he, all this sand and they want to play Super Numtum.

Ah, it's the slippy crabs game.

Wha-ha, this plan is sure to beat not-so-Super Numtum.

Behold, my ten super-snippy crabs.

Here, crabby-crabbies.

Never fear, Super Numtum is here.

ALL: Hooray!

Ow!

Ouch!

Can you help me stop the super-snippy crabs?

Yes!

-Then lets' go.

-Look, there.

-One.

-There's a crab.

-Two.

-Oh, there's loads of them.

Three. Four. Five.

Six, seven, eight, nine.

We found nine crabs.

There are ten crabs altogether. How many more crabs do we need to find?

Erm, we've already found...one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

eight, nine...nine crabs,

so we need one to make ten.

There's one, yay!

-Well done.

-That's my crab, hand it over.

Whoa, koala in distress. My own crabs used against me.

I'll get you next time, not-so-Super Numtum. Whoa.

Yay!

Sandcastle competition!

Ah, nine Numtums gone, leaving only one. Ho-ho, this is the life.

The other nine Numtums can take as long as they like.

Ho-ho, I love sand.

Oh, whoa!

-This is the best sandcastle I have ever seen.

-Erm, have you seen mine?

-It is the best.

-Hobart will have to choose between them.

-Where is he?

-I need Hobart to hand out my sand-spotter sheets.

-But we don't know where he is.

-Larry and Billy are selling souvenir sand.

Hobart would love it. Where is he?

Well, he must be around here, somewhere.

Hobart!

Hobart!

-Sand, sand! Come and get your Big Sandy souvenir sand!

-Numtum!

Oh, now this is a good one.

-Have you seen Hobart?

-Numtum...

-No.

It's just, we need him to pick the winning sandcastle.

-And hand out my sand-spotter sheets.

-I haven't seen him for a while.

-Me neither.

-ALL: Hobart's not here?

And neither is his cart.

Hobart!

-Maybe we left him behind.

-Yes, that must be it.

He must be back at the Gorge.

To your carts, everyone!

Ah.

Ooh, that tickles. Oh-ho, stop it!

Ha-ha, it tickles. Wha, ooh!

Oh, shoo! Help.

Whoa!

Numtum in distress, here.

Help! Anybody?

Of course, no-one's here, I'm all on my own. Oh!

This way, Numtums. We know a shortcut.

GLADDY: Don't worry, Hobart, we're coming!

They'll never hear me all the way over in the Big Sandy.

My megaphone...if I can just... get to it.

Geronimo!

Now...help!

Numtum in distress.

Listen, I can hear Hobart.

We're coming, my loud little friend!

They must have heard that.

Oh, they'll be here to save me in no time. Uh-oh, coming through!

-Gotcha.

-Oh! You're back.

-We all are.

Oh, nine Numtums, an echidna and a lyrebird.

Ho-ho, never leave me on my own again.

Don't you worry, Hobart, this echidna, lyrebird

and nine Numtums aren't going anywhere

without this one Numtum again.

Now, how about a snack before bedtime?

ALL: Hooray!
