Pennod 1 Julian Lewis Jones yn Awstralia

-.

-Australia.

-It's the world's largest island that

-covers three million square miles.

-Its coastline is 37,000 miles long.

-It's the oldest, flattest

-and lowest-lying continent...

-..that is a paradise for fishermen.

-Join me, Julian Lewis Jones

-and my friend, Rhys Llewelyn...

-..as we fulfil a lifelong dream

-and fish in her seas and rivers.

-We'll meet her people and animals.

-We also visit this amazing

-country's most historic sites.

-Excellent, Rhys!

-We'll travel from Sydney

-to the island of Tasmania...

-..to Brisbane, Cairns

-and the Great Barrier Reef.

-We visit the Northern Territory

-and Darwin's sweltering heat...

-..and finish in Western Australia...

-..in Exmouth and the Ningaloo Reef

-which is a Mecca for fishermen.

-Our journey starts

-in the iconic Sydney Harbour.

-'Julian Lewis Jones

-In Australia'

-Our guide around

-this massive country...

-..is an old friend

-who emigrated to Australia.

-It's Gwenllian Jones Palmer.

-How are you, sweetheart?

-It's lovely to see you.

-It's been ages.

-It's been ages.

-

-Yes, I know.

-How are you, Julian?

-How are you, Julian?

-

-It's been a while, Gwen.

-You haven't changed a bit.

-You haven't changed a bit.

-

-Thank you. You're too kind.

-You're finally here.

-We've been threatening to come.

-We've been threatening to come.

-

-It's about time too, Rhys!

-I've brought you here

-to take you to the Sea Life...

-..to give you a taster

-of the wildlife in these waters.

-Lead the way.

-Lead the way.

-

-OK.

-There was plenty to see.

-From sharks to fish we don't want

-to catch, such as the cuttlefish.

-How does it eat?

-The cuttlefish catches a fish

-or crab with its tentacles.

-It also has a very hard beak,

-similar to a parrot.

-They crush the fish with their beak

-and eat it.

-They are quick and ferocious.

-Is that why it's on its own?

-Is that why it's on its own?

-

-Yes, in quarantine or isolation.

-Hmmm.

-What's that?

-There's over 6,000 species of fish

-in the waters of Australia.

-Many of them are not found

-anywhere else in the world.

-Fishing is strictly monitored

-in the unpolluted waters...

-..to ensure a sustainable healthy

-stock of fresh fish in the area.

-Sharks are at the top

-of the food chain.

-I wonder if we'll catch

-one of these.

-We've seen a lot of fish but what

-have you got planned for us, Gwen?

-Tomorrow, you'll meet

-a guy called Pete.

-He'll take you out into the

-open seas to the Sydney Heads.

-You have to meet him

-in Balmoral at 6.00am.

-Six?

-Six?

-

-We've got jetlag.

-Jetlag? Don't be silly. Go to bed.

-Jetlag? Don't be silly. Go to bed.

-

-OK, we'd better go to bed.

-Come on. Let's go to bed.

-It's our first day of fishing.

-We start by searching for bait

-in the estuary at Balmoral...

-..before sailing out to sea

-in search of kingfish...

-..near the Sydney Heads.

-These headlands mark the entrance

-to Sydney Harbour.

-On a beautiful autumn morning

-at Balmoral...

-..we eagerly awaited the arrival

-of our guide, Pete LeBlang.

-With the kit onboard,

-we were ready for the off!

-We moved cautiously as the waterways

-around Sydney are very busy.

-People make the most of the early

-hours before the temperature soars.

-We're jigging

-with very small squid jigs.

-We hope to catch living squid

-to use as bait for the kingfish.

-No luck yet but we'll keep trying!

-I've never done this before.

-No, we've only caught small fish

-using this technique, not squid.

-When I worked on a boat

-in San Diego many years ago...

-..we caught living squid to use

-as bait for the yellowtail kingfish.

-We'd hang a large halogen light

-over the back of the boat...

-..to entice the squid to the surface

-as they were attracted by the light.

-We'd scoop them up in a net

-and drop them into a live bait tank.

-I bet it was easier than this.

-I bet it was easier than this.

-

-Yes, it was a lot easier.

-We're going to try and draw

-the small fish to our hooks.

-We want them to start eating.

-We'll drop the box of bread into the

-sea and hope they eat the crumbs.

-This is their starters

-and our hooks will be the main!

-You'd be better off

-putting some jam on it!

-Strawberry or raspberry?

-Strawberry or raspberry?

-

-Raspberry - they are very fussy!

-A baby snapper.

-Pete has just caught a baby snapper.

-This one can go back in alive.

-We want to catch the yellowtail

-which is bait for the kingfish.

-It's annoying when you catch

-the wrong species.

-They are tasty when they are bigger.

-They are tasty when they are bigger.

-

-Yes, you need a lot for a kebab.

-Hallelujah!

-Pete caught a small yellowtail...

-..but the squid is the ideal bait

-for catching a kingfish.

-We've got one here.

-Is that a squid?

-Oh, excellent.

-The tank was full so it was time to

-prepare our bait for the kingfish.

-Pete has taken the yellowtail...

-..and put a cable tie

-through the eye sockets...

-..and the hook goes through

-the cable tie.

-He keeps it alive.

-The final trick is a colourful dye

-to attract the fish.

-Oh, that's magic.

-We'll use a method

-called trolling...

-..where you drag

-the living bait behind the boat.

-Whilst doing this,

-Rhys and I will cast our lures.

-We'll wait for signs of life

-on the surface of the water...

-..such as a tuna

-and cast at those fish.

-He wants us to cast forward...

-..so we don't go over

-the area we've already covered.

-This method is very new for us.

-This method is very new for us.

-

-Yes, it's very new.

-It's important that these slugs

-imitate a small fish.

-Cast into the tide.

-Take hold of the reel and pump it.

-It's a great place

-for fishing, Rhys.

-It's as good

-as any other place we've seen.

-Yes, we're under the cliffs.

-I wish we had this weather in Wales!

-I only want a week in the summer.

-I only want a week in the summer.

-

-That isn't too much to ask.

-I just want to check the bait.

-It's had two bites.

-A kingfish has taken a bite

-out of the squid.

-You can see the shape of its mouth.

-It's quite a big fish but it hasn't

-taken the hook, unfortunately.

-Oh, it's off.

-That's all that's left of my fish.

-I caught a kingfish...

-..but it swam for the reef

-and broke my line in the process.

-My heart was racing.

-The disappointing catch

-meant it was time to move on.

-The skipper knew exactly

-where to take us.

-Pete has brought us

-to this amazing beach.

-It's the Lady Jane Beach.

-Have you noticed anything unusual

-about this beach, Rhys?

-From what I can see, I don't think

-Speedo's are a best-seller here.

-No, you're right.

-It's a nudist beach.

-Don't cast too far or you might

-catch something you don't want!

-A cocktail sausage or two!

-It was time to make

-a hasty escape...

-..but the next location

-wasn't much better.

-There's a special centre

-in front of me.

-It attracts a lot of tourists.

-It used to be a quarantine centre.

-Everyone who entered Australia

-had to go through this centre.

-These were people

-from the big ships.

-If one of the passengers had

-fallen ill and died of a disease...

-..their bodies were burnt.

-That's the chimney of the building

-where the bodies were burnt.

-All their property

-had to be steamed...

-..before it could be returned.

-There is no need

-for quarantine any more...

-..so it's a tourist attraction

-these days.

-We've left the northern side

-of the harbour and moved south...

-..to fish in an artificial causeway.

-In Australia, they create

-these causeways for fishermen.

-This prevents the fishermen going

-to the natural reefs and causeways.

-They want to preserve the natural

-reefs so create artificial ones.

-It means the economy

-still benefits from fishing...

-..whilst protecting the environment.

-It's something we should consider

-doing in Wales.

-I've finally caught something.

-Come on, Jules.

-There you go.

-Oh, it's a powerful fish.

-Goodness me! It's really strong.

-Heavens above.

-Here it comes.

-Here it comes.

-

-It's a kingfish.

-Wehey!

-A kingfish.

-A kingfish.

-

-It's an Australian kingfish.

-Here it is.

-It isn't very big

-but it's my first fish in Australia.

-It's a beauty!

-It's a beauty!

-

-Yes, fantastic.

-It was incredibly powerful.

-The tail is very strong.

-It's like a bullet.

-It's similar to a mackerel as they

-belong to the Scomber family.

-We have a Scomber scombrus

-but this is a Scomber australasicus.

-It has the same kind of fin.

-It also has a powerful tail

-which gives them their speed.

-I think this weighs

-about five pounds...

-..but it's so strong.

-Yes, it's amazing.

-Let's put him back.

-Let's put him back.

-

-Congratulations, Jules.

-Thank you.

-We've been waiting for you

-for hours.

-Off it goes.

-Woah!

-Woah!

-

-It's like a bullet.

-Goodness me.

-Well done, Julian. Put it there.

-.

-Subtitles

-It's another beautiful day

-in Australia.

-Rhys and I are fishing today...

-..whilst Julian visits the

-world-famous Sydney Fish Market.

-Today's skipper is Dan Selby,

-a local fishing expert.

-We're looking for structures in

-the water to find bait this morning.

-The bait is found around the shells.

-Yes, you can find shells and crabs.

-Any structure in the water

-will attract life.

-Reefs or coastal rocks

-are also good spots.

-This one is artificial

-but we should find small fish.

-The small fish attract larger fish

-who want to eat them.

-You find the entire food chain

-gathered around these structures.

-You attached your line to a lead.

-It's a downrigger.

-It's a large, heavy ball

-which acts as a weight.

-There's a clip on the ball and

-you attach the line to the clip...

-..so that there is

-no pressure on the rod.

-There's no resistance to the fish.

-It eats the bait which comes off the

-clip and you battle with the fish.

-There's no extra pressure

-on your line.

-Why are you using the lead

-as opposed to casting your line?

-It gives you depth.

-The fish you want is in deep water.

-When fishing in the sea,

-you use bait at many levels.

-You might have one on the surface

-and another that's half way down.

-Others use four different rods.

-Keep an eye on the rod or

-we could have an accident here.

-Oh, yes.

-The first fish of the day

-was a young kingfish.

-How does it compare with fishing

-at home or is there no comparison?

-You can compare them.

-I fish for pike at Trawsfynydd

-and use similar equipment.

-We don't use downriggers but use

-plastic, metal or wooden lures.

-We use the trolling method...

-..but they drop by themselves

-as some have their own weights.

-We also look for structures

-in the water...

-..such as an old stone wall,

-a fence or even a piece of rock.

-Fish go to structures

-wherever you are.

-Something's had a go at the bait.

-There are leatherjacket fish

-that have very sharp teeth...

-..and they are like beaks.

-They pick at the bait.

-Their mouths are strong enough

-to break a hook.

-They are just like line clippers

-and can bite through the hook.

-Three or four of them could attack

-the bait and take it off the hook.

-These small fish

-cause a commotion in the water...

-..and this attracts the kingfish.

-It will push its way through them

-to find out what's going on.

-It isn't all bad

-but they do take the bait.

-I hope I catch something.

-I hope I catch something.

-

-I'm sure you will.

-Whilst Rhys and Gwenllian

-have gone fishing...

-..I've come to

-the Sydney Fish Market...

-..to view the varieties of fish

-you can find in the harbour.

-In we go.

-Since 1966, the market has been

-located at Blackwattle Bay...

-..two miles from Sydney.

-It's the biggest

-in the Southern Hemisphere...

-..and third largest in the world.

-In a year, they sell

-over 15,000 tonnes of seafood.

-There's plenty of fresh

-and cooked fish...

-..for the hungry shoppers.

-We've got some marlin.

-There's also marwhal.

-I never heard of one of them.

-There's tuna steak, snapper...

-..and the kings are 20 a kilo.

-They are double

-the price of the snapper.

-This is pure heaven for me.

-There's fish to see, to eat

-and they're showing live rugby.

-It's paradise.

-This is the barramundi.

-It's the most famous fish

-in Australia.

-People travel for miles

-to catch this fish.

-Most are caught

-in the Northern Territory.

-The water level drops

-after the floods...

-..and the barramundi gets trapped

-in the billabongs.

-The fishermen target them.

-This is the imperador.

-It's the brightest fish

-I've ever seen.

-The whiting resembles our sea bass.

-There's also a whole flathead.

-A flathead is more expensive

-than a tuna steak.

-I'm quite shocked by that.

-In Britain,

-you pay a tidy sum for tuna.

-I wonder if Rhys and Gwen have

-caught one of these ugly things.

-The head is totally flat.

-We've come up

-one of the small rivers or creeks...

-..that flow into Sydney Harbour.

-We're fishing for a whiting,

-bream or a flathead.

-We're using a tool

-that is known as a blade.

-It resembles a tiny fish

-that lives on the river bed.

-We cast out our line.

-Something like that.

-Wait for it to reach the bottom

-before reeling it back in slowly.

-Give it a jerk every now and then

-to give it a bit of life.

-We hope something pounces on it...

-..thinking that it's a small fish

-or their prey.

-These ferocious fish

-stalk the river beds...

-..in search of small fish

-or small crabs.

-It so peaceful here.

-It's wonderful.

-Oh, yes.

-How are you getting on, Gwen?

-How are you getting on, Gwen?

-

-I haven't caught anything.

-My luck was about to change.

-It's a flathead.

-It's a flathead.

-

-That's it. Steady.

-We both caught him, have we?

-We both caught him, have we?

-

-It's a flathead.

-This is a flathead.

-These fish are absolutely delicious.

-It's my first fish!

-Is this going back in the water?

-Is this going back in the water?

-

-We'll unhook it and put it back.

-They are tough fish.

-It has spikes and

-there's a nasty spike by here...

-..on the other side

-and down its back too.

-They are not ideal to hold

-but well done, Gwen.

-I'm happy with that.

-You showed me how it's done.

-It's your home advantage.

-I won't kiss you

-because you're too spikey.

-Woah!

-How long have you been here?

-How long have you been here?

-

-Twelve years.

-I've known you for longer than that.

-You were very young back then.

-I was incredibly young

-and you wore short trousers too!

-You've got a good life.

-You've got a good life.

-

-Yes, it's wonderful.

-Just look around.

-There isn't much to complain about.

-The weather is a real bonus.

-It's wonderful.

-For the first four years,

-I was dying to come home to Wales.

-I was terribly homesick.

-I got over feeling homesick

-and realised I was very lucky...

-..because I had a home here

-and a home in Wales.

-You come home quite often.

-Yes, I've got

-the best of both worlds.

-I'm very lucky.

-I've been threatening to visit you

-since you moved here...

-..and it's great to join you

-to do some fishing.

-I've caught something.

-It's your first this year.

-It isn't as powerful

-as the kingfish.

-It's the smallest fish in the world!

-It's a little tarwhine.

-It belongs to a group

-known as the perciforms...

-..so it's the same family

-as our black bream...

-..and the bass and the perch.

-This one can go back in. Off you go.

-Very good.

-You married an Australian man

-called Rob...

-..and have two children,

-Gruff and Bronnie.

-Yes, Gruff and Branwen.

-They speak Welsh and

-I only ever speak to them in Welsh.

-We have plenty of visitors

-so they get immersed in Welsh.

-They have the option

-to use the language.

-Do you miss the cold and rain?

-When it does rain...

-..I go out walking

-and have a massive smile on my face.

-Rob thinks I'm weird for doing that

-but I love it.

-You haven't fished here before.

-You haven't fished here before.

-

-No, not at all.

-I tried waterskiing on the Lane Cove

-River and it's full of bull sharks.

-Bull sharks are very aggressive...

-..and always looking for a fight.

-The females

-travel up the river...

-..to find a place to give birth.

-Has your husband taken out

-an insurance policy on you?

-Yes, but I'm not worth that much.

-4.50!

-Woah!

-Woah!

-

-OK, bring him in.

-I am.

-What have we got this time?

-It's a flathead.

-What's that?

-What's that?

-

-It's another flathead.

-Two flatheads.

-Give me a hug!

-Ta-ra!

-Look, Rhys.

-Dec's having a birthday.

-That's good.

-They try to do that in Wales

-but it's too grey to see anything.

-I wonder how Julian's getting on.

-I wonder how Julian's getting on.

-

-He's missed out today.

-Yes, that's true.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-

-Are you alright?

-Hey, lovely.

-A flathead.

-Another one. Wo-hoo!

-This one is very small.

-How big do they grow?

-How big do they grow?

-

-About two metres.

-It has eyes like a crocodile.

-Well done, Gwen.

-You've mastered this.

-I wouldn't go that far

-but I'm having fun.

-After a successful day of fishing...

-..we went to meet Julian

-at Manly Beach.

-I don't know why the boys

-wanted to meet at Manly.

-Thank you so much, Rhys.

-What for?

-What for?

-

-You're a fountain of knowledge.

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-

-Yes, I did.

-I thought you'd waffle on

-but you actually know your stuff.

-I sound as if I know it.

-I sound as if I know it.

-

-Thank you, sweetheart.

-It could be your hobby because

-you live in a fisherman's paradise!

-There he is.

-There he is.

-

-Here comes the man himself.

-Hello.

-How was it?

-How was it?

-

-Excellent. What about you two?

-I've had an amazing day.

-She was great

-and her casting was excellent.

-I'm sure she was better than me.

-I caught three flatheads.

-Did you catch a flathead?

-Did you catch a flathead?

-

-Yes, I did.

-That's one to tick off the list.

-Thanks for sending me to the market.

-Wait until tomorrow.

-I've got a surprise for you.

-I hope it's a nice one.

-Are you afraid of heights?

-Are you afraid of heights?

-

-No, not really.

-Alright.

-We'll see!

-.

-Subtitles

-Gwenllian promised us a surprise

-but she actually had two for us.

-This was the first.

-Rhodri has emigrated to Australia

-from Wales.

-Rhodri? Another Welshman?

-Rhodri? Another Welshman?

-

-Yes, exactly.

-Where are you from?

-Where are you from?

-

-Llangefni on Anglesey.

-Goodness me, an Anglesey Warrior!

-What do you do here?

-I photograph tourist attractions...

-..such as the Opera House,

-aquarium, Madame Tussauds...

-..and a few places in Melbourne.

-I work in amazing places,

-especially the Opera House...

-..as I've seen a few shows for free!

-Did you organise this surprise?

-Did you organise this surprise?

-

-Yes, but I had some help.

-What is the surprise?

-We're going

-to the top of that tower...

-..for a bird's eye view of Sydney.

-We're going up there!

-Have we got to jump off it?

-Have we got to jump off it?

-

-That's up to you.

-You'd better not.

-OK, let's take a look. Come on.

-We're going to the top

-of Sydney Tower...

-..which is 309m above the city.

-Before venturing outside...

-..we needed our safety harnesses

-- just to be on the safe side!

-Hallelujah!

-This is your surprise.

-I wanted you to see this.

-It's beautiful.

-I'm not sure about this.

-I'm not sure about this.

-

-Let's go on the glass.

-Goodness me!

-It's lovely but don't look down.

-I brought you here to show you

-this expanse of water.

-People think the harbour

-is one area of water.

-Sharks do enter the harbour

-despite it being very busy.

-Goodness!

-It's an extension on the extension.

-It's an extension on the extension.

-

-Oh, my goodness me.

-I'd like to know where it stops.

-I'd like to know where it stops.

-

-They need to clean their windows.

-EXTENSION THUDS AND STOPS

-EXTENSION THUDS AND STOPS

-

-Oh, goodness me.

-That's it.

-There's plenty of water

-to choose from.

-Where do you want to go?

-I'd like to try

-and catch a bigger kingfish...

-..that we can keep

-and have for supper.

-Do you fancy that?

-You catch the fish

-and I'll put the barbie on!

-It's a plan.

-Come on, let's get out of here.

-Before we went fishing...

-..we needed new tools

-to help secure our supper.

-There's all sorts here.

-They've got large poppers.

-We've got nothing like this

-in Wales.

-Look at these poppers.

-There's a chunky one and a slim Jim!

-Look at that one over there.

-Look at that one over there.

-

-It's like a truncheon.

-You could hit

-the fish with it. Bang!

-Look at these hooks.

-Look at these hooks.

-

-Oh, my word.

-Goodness me.

-We use those kinds of hooks

-to catch sharks.

-Yes, because of the large gape.

-I suspect this would be used

-for a dogtooth tuna...

-..because there isn't a line

-and that tuna has large teeth.

-There was so much choice.

-The Welshmen in Australia

-were like two kids in a toy shop!

-This is used to shoot fish.

-What would the people of Trawsfynydd

-say if I took this home?

-I've got a fishing kayak at home.

-It's a bit big to take home

-on the plane.

-What have you got?

-Apart from the hooks.

-Not as much as you!

-It's like Christmas.

-It's like Christmas.

-

-This is a fantastic shop.

-It's excellent.

-It's excellent.

-

-It's the best one I've ever visited.

-I hope you've paid for everything.

-I hope you've paid for everything.

-

-Of course I have.

-You saw me pay for it.

-Gwen didn't want

-to miss a trick either!

-Have you got a fish pheromone that's

-guaranteed to catch me some fish?

-Yeah, this is what I normally use.

-It's Squidgy.

-It's a range with the S-Factor.

-It's got super fish pheromones.

-It makes fish want to eat.

-It'll drive the fish wild!

-That's what I use.

-That's what I use.

-

-It looks like lipgloss. Love it!

-They're catching the bait already.

-Morning, Dan.

-I'm dropping this in the water

-to try and catch the yellowtails.

-I've had a bite straight away.

-Excellent!

-Our old enemy

-was hiding amongst the yellowtails.

-This fish

-has been stealing our bait.

-It's a leatherjacket.

-It has a sharp spike on its head.

-There it is.

-It has beak-like teeth.

-We don't want these

-so it can go back in.

-Let's have a rest

-after catching that bait, Rhys.

-We've caught more

-than we did yesterday.

-There's yellowtails

-and Dan caught a squid.

-It's an ugly thing.

-Our one squid needed

-at least two more playmates...

-..before we could find the big fish.

-Rhys and I had to try again.

-Jackpot!

-This is my first squid in Australia.

-It can go into the live bait tank.

-We've seen a massive squid

-in the water.

-I'm trying to catch it

-with a small jig.

-It's perfect bait.

-Well done, Rhys.

-We've got a pair of squid.

-We had a pair of squid

-and plenty of bait.

-At the Sydney Heads, we didn't have

-to wait long to bag a kingfish.

-Yes, we've got a fish!

-That's the one.

-You want a little bit of give.

-See how long that took

-with a squid live bait.

-Let's get the head bait back.

-He's only a little fella.

-It's a small kingfish but

-where there's one, there's more!

-I certainly hope so.

-Dan had changed the yakka and

-removed the squid's head to use it.

-The head was still alive

-despite the hook...

-..and we had a bite straight away.

-It's back on the hook

-so we'll try to get a bigger one.

-We-hey!

-It's a strong swimmer.

-It's a kingfish. I've got sun cream

-in my eye so I can't see!

-Get him out.

-It's a lively one.

-It's a lively one.

-

-Yes, it is.

-The rod is bending

-but it's only a small fish.

-I can't believe it.

-This is the kingfish

-but we call it the 'brenhinbysg'.

-You can see why some people

-call them a yellowtail kingfish.

-It's the 'brenhinbysg' for the Welsh

-and this one is going back.

-Well done, Rhys. Very good.

-Rhys has caught another one.

-Yeah.

-Here we go.

-It's a beautiful fish.

-They are getting bigger.

-This one can go back too.

-This one can go back too.

-

-Like a shot.

-Ta-ra!

-Julian's got one straight away

-and there's another one behind it.

-Let's see

-if we can catch its friend too.

-These fish often swim in pairs.

-It's a bonito

-so that's another species for us.

-It's excellent

-and looks like a small tuna.

-It's another beautiful fish.

-It's another beautiful fish.

-

-Yes, it is.

-I've never caught one before.

-Off it goes.

-Off it goes.

-

-Great. Well done, Jules.

-We caught plenty of fish but nothing

-was big enough for our supper.

-It's amazing what you find

-when fishing in the sea.

-It's a cuttlefish.

-The head has been eaten.

-We saw it on the water...

-..so we picked it up as it will

-supply us with bait for a whole day.

-Hold on. It's a good fish.

-We changed our bait

-and Julian's already got a bite.

-Walk them out.

-Another fish on the line.

-Dan moves the boat away

-from the cliffs...

-..to stop the fish escaping

-to the safe coves...

-..where the line could get tangled

-in the underwater causeways.

-I've caught a kingy.

-The fresh bait

-has made a difference.

-This is a better fish.

-That's a nice fish.

-Oh, Julian. That's much better.

-A kingy.

-It's too small to keep.

-I think so but we'll measure him

-on the ruler to make sure.

-From the tip of the tail... he's 60.

-He's only 60cm long...

-..but is a real fighter

-for its size.

-It's a sturdy fish

-with no waste on them.

-He went back as there are

-strict guidelines in Australia...

-..for the regeneration

-of their fishing stock.

-We caught three more but

-they weren't big enough to keep.

-At this rate,

-we won't affect the stock...

-..or find anything to cook

-on Gwen's barbecue!

-.

-Subtitles

-After six hours...

-..there was still no sign

-of a big fish for Gwen's barbecue.

-Suddenly...

-Hold him there.

-Hold him there.

-

-OK.

-I'm holding onto Julian's trousers.

-Let's get this out of the way.

-He's only a little fella.

-He's only a little fella.

-This fish swimming on the surface

-of the water has immense power.

-Was this the one?

-Excellent. Here it is.

-This kingy is exactly 65cm long.

-Goodness me, it was strong.

-It's going on the barbecue tonight.

-It's going on the barbecue tonight.

-

-Yes, it is.

-Gwenllian, Rob and the children

-will be happy.

-This one isn't going back.

-We're going to eat tonight!

-We're going to eat tonight!

-

-Well done.

-The techniques we've used to catch

-the kingfish are very different.

-I'm using a live fish as bait.

-It's called flatlining.

-There isn't any pressure

-on the line.

-The line trails from the back of

-the boat and attracts the kingfish.

-Julian's just caught another one!

-It's an effective technique.

-However,

-Julian's using a downrigger.

-There's a weight, similar to

-a canon ball, on a very heavy line.

-It has a clip

-that holds the fishing line.

-There's no pressure on the line...

-..because the weight

-is on the downrigger.

-It can be set at various depths

-from 1m to 100m.

-It depends on the location

-of the fish and depth of the water.

-It means that the fishermen

-and the fish have two options.

-They either opt for the bait

-in deep water...

-..or they can take the bait

-that's bobbing on the surface.

-Both techniques are working

-for the moment!

-Yeah. Go on, go on.

-It is out?

-It is out?

-

-Yeah.

-Rhys has caught one.

-These rods are quite bulky...

-..and yet they bend every which way.

-It's amazing.

-This could be it.

-It looks like a better fish, Rhys.

-These fish can make fools of us.

-No, it's a better fish.

-Goodness me!

-As you can see,

-these fish don't give up easily.

-It's dived back down.

-What did you say to it?

-What did you say to it?

-

-It saw you, Julian.

-It looked right up your nose!

-Yes, it's a better one.

-We got him.

-We got him.

-

-Oh, well done with the netting.

-Good netting, captain.

-We got him.

-We got him.

-

-Oh, yes. Nice one.

-We've got two now.

-Right, then.

-This is a much better kingfish

-and he put up a real fight.

-It's solid and all muscle.

-They don't give in easily.

-We've got more supper now.

-Five loaves and two fishes

-and we'll be alright!

-Excellent, Rhys. Well done.

-Excellent, Rhys. Well done.

-

-Thank you.

-We had a boat full of fish

-and some time to spare...

-..so we took the opportunity to take

-another spin around the harbour.

-There was one last task before

-leaving the beautiful harbour.

-We had to prepare our day's catch.

-Thankfully,

-we had an expert on board.

-In no time at all,

-Dan had filleted the fish...

-..to throw on the barbie

-at Gwenllian and Rob's house.

-Hello? Is anyone home?

-Hello? Is anyone home?

-

-Yeah!

-How are you?

-How are you?

-

-Good, thank you.

-Look at that.

-We caught about a dozen kingfish

-but kept two.

-Look at this, Gruff.

-Hiya, how are you?

-Hiya, how are you?

-

-Look at the fish.

-It's kingfish.

-Yes, it'll taste fantastic.

-Look at this.

-It's great.

-It's great.

-

-Look at the fish.

-Rob is outside with the barbie.

-Hello, Rob. How are you?

-Hello, Rob. How are you?

-

-Alright. Welcome to you.

-Hi, Rob. How are you?

-The barbie's hot

-and ready for the fish.

-I've got the fish for you.

-I've got the fish for you.

-

-It's fresh from the market.

-No, this is from the sea.

-We caught this fish.

-Look at this.

-Look at this.

-

-It's fresh kingfish.

-Shall I take one for Don Sashimi?

-You?

-You?

-

-Yes, me. Don Sashimi!

-I'll take one

-to try to make some sushi.

-You can have the rest for the barbie

-and I'll have one for my sushi.

-Just like many other Welsh folk...

-..Gwen has made

-her home in Australia.

-Rob is learning Welsh...

-..so there's a corner of Wales

-on the other side of the world.

-OK, everyone. It's ready!

-Brilliant! Thanks, Rob.

-Perfect fish. Well done, boys.

-Well done, Rob.

-Well done, Rob.

-

-It looks wonderful.

-This is just like MasterChef.

-Mmmm... oh.

-Is it nice?

-Is it nice?

-

-Oh, Julian! You can come again.

-Hey.

-Is it good or excellent?

-More!

-I have to say that Sydney

-has been a wonderful experience.

-Thank you both and your family.

-ALL: Cheers!

-Next time,

-we reach the island of Tasmania.

-It's the biggest.

-Well done, Rhys.

-Until then...
