Pennod 2 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 Llywelyn...

-.as we fulfil a lifelong dream

-and fish 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.

-Once again, our guide is our

-old friend, Gwenllian Jones Palmer.

-In this programme,

-we visit the island of Tasmania.

-Excellent!

-Well done, Rhys.

-That's all from me.

-'Julian Lewis Jones

-in Australia'

-Welcome to Tasmania

-which is a truly wild area...

-..off the coast of Australia!

-I hope you've got your flies because

-it has trout and lots of other fish.

-I should catch something then!

-I should catch something then!

-

-Yes, you should.

-What do you think so far?

-What do you think so far?

-

-It's a stunning view.

-It's beautiful.

-Shall we go?

-Shall we go?

-

-Yes, OK.

-East of the capital city of Hobart,

-lies the Tasman Peninsula.

-It's connected to the mainland

-by an isthmus.

-Eaglehawk Neck is on one side

-and Pirates Bay is on the other.

-It's home to Scott Johnson's

-fishing boat, the Doongara.

-He's our guide today and

-we're hoping to catch a mako shark.

-We're sailing out of Pirates Bay

-in Tasmania.

-Before we start, we need to decide

-who'll get the first catch.

-I should get it

-because of seniority.

-Age before beauty!

-However, I'm a fair man so

-I'll let Rhys have the opportunity.

-Today's challenge is a game

-of Paper, Scissors, Stone.

-OK, we'll go after three.

-One, two...

-I won that one.

-OK, we caught that on camera.

-Rhys has won again.

-I'll have to cut his line!

-Our main aim

-is to catch some sharks...

-..but as we head out to sea,

-we try to catch some tuna.

-They are the perfect bait

-for the mako shark.

-I want to explain our

-fishing techniques in Tasmania.

-We're dragging five lures

-behind the boat.

-Five lines have been spread

-across the back of the boat.

-This method of fishing

-is called trolling.

-Trawling is when you drag a net

-but this is called trolling.

-The lure sits relatively close

-to the surface of the water...

-..and the tuna swim up

-and take a bite.

-We're following the coastline

-and dragging these five lures.

-Whilst Rhys waited

-for his first bite...

-..I asked our captain

-about these deep waters.

-Scott has just told me...

-..that this is the closest point

-of the continental shelf...

-..to mainland Australia

-as it's only 8km from the land.

-It drops from 70m

-to a depth of about 2,000m...

-..so it's very deep!

-The large fish

-all gather at the drop-off point.

-We're currently

-passing the Hippolyte rocks.

-It's a beautiful area

-but it's also very dangerous.

-The waves are breaking

-on the underwater rocks.

-Scott knows the area like the back

-of his hand and knows what to do.

-I've caught something that

-is known as a striped tuna...

-..whilst fishing

-off the back of the boat.

-Here we go, boys.

-It's my first tuna.

-It isn't the biggest in the world

-but it's a good looking fish!

-Oh, we've got another one.

-We must have hit a shoal of fish.

-What do you think about this, Rhys?

-His friend decided to join him.

-Excellent!

-Look at it wriggling. The tails are

-very powerful and they're quick too.

-It's just like Mick Jagger!

-These are the perfect bait

-for the mako shark.

-They are full of blood!

-Are you on again, Rhys?

-Are you on again, Rhys?

-

-Yes.

-This one feels better

-but it's further out.

-Oh, it's broken free.

-Oh, it's broken free.

-

-You've lost it.

-We lost that one

-but had already bagged two tunas...

-..so we set about hunting the mako.

-Matthew has started making

-the burley.

-We want to create a trail

-using the chum or burley...

-..to attract the sharks to the boat.

-It's just like a torch whose

-light shines through the water.

-The burley or chum spreads across

-the waves to attract the sharks.

-The sharks could be

-up to ten miles away.

-They follow the trail

-that is cast by our torch...

-..back to the boat,

-which is the source of the light.

-That is where

-you'll find the burley.

-We've got the old favourite

-- the mackerel.

-Matthew's got another species

-which is the slimy mackerel.

-We call it a scad in Britain.

-There's a lot of blood in

-the heads of the tuna we caught.

-This is a mixture

-of frozen burley or chum...

-..and the fresh tuna.

-The burley

-is spreading through the water.

-Throw it in sparingly at regular

-intervals, not all at the same time.

-We use a similar system in Wales...

-..but this one

-sits outside the boat.

-It's much cleaner than having oil,

-blood and guts all over the deck!

-Whilst I churned away...

-..Matthew prepared the hook

-for the shark.

-A large chunk of tuna

-is placed on a 2m wire line.

-It's attached to a balloon

-which is a visual marker...

-..that also keeps the bait

-at its correct depth.

-And all we had to do was wait.

-It's very quiet but that's

-the nature of shark fishing.

-You need a lot of patience to wait

-for that explosion of excitement.

-Rhys is sunbathing.

-He's ready for his workout.

-I'm working on the burley.

-You need a lot of patience.

-Matthew has taken the bait

-out of the water...

-..because the birds

-were diving for it and eating it.

-The bait is sitting in

-a shallow position in the water...

-..so they are trying to eat it.

-These sooty shearwaters

-can dive to depths of 70m.

-Penguins are the only birds

-that can swim any deeper.

-We'll wait for the birds to fly away

-before throwing in the fresh bait...

-..and I'll carry on with the burley.

-I'm fed up

-of all this hanging around...

-..so I'm going to try

-some deep sea fishing.

-Fish such as the flathead

-can be found in deep water.

-I'm hoping the bait drops quickly.

-Let's see

-if I can catch something else.

-The water's deep here...

-..so it will take a while

-to reach the bottom.

-Every wait is a long one.

-The hours passed

-with no sign of any fish.

-Today wasn't our lucky day.

-The bait wasn't the only thing

-that attracted the birds.

-An albatross

-took a fancy to our camera!

-There was also

-an Australian fur seal.

-These were hunted intensively

-last century...

-..but I'm delighted that

-their numbers are on the increase.

-We've done our best, Rhys.

-We've done our best, Rhys.

-

-Yes, we have.

-Nothing's biting.

-They don't want

-to play with us today.

-We lost the current in the water.

-The sea fell totally calm.

-There was no current to carry the

-burley or chum away from the boat.

-There was no breeze.

-The birds were the only life in the

-area and they were quite a nuisance.

-There's always tomorrow.

-We'll do some trolling

-on the way home too.

-We returned to Pirates Bay

-without a shark or any treasure.

-I've heard that Tasmania has another

-animal with very sharp teeth.

-Alright?

-Alright?

-

-Thank you.

-After you.

-After you.

-

-Thank you. Age before beauty!

-There's a pair of Tasmanian Devils

-behind us.

-They are cute little animals.

-They are cute little animals.

-

-Yes, they are.

-But they have very sharp teeth!

-They say its bite is stronger

-than that of a lion.

-They are not playthings.

-This animal is currently

-an endangered species...

-..because they get attacked

-by a cancer.

-It's a neuroendocrine cancer...

-..that spreads

-when the devils bite each other.

-Their population in the wild

-has fallen from 100,000 to 15,000.

-A mere 15%

-of the population remains.

-That one looks angry.

-That one looks angry.

-

-Yes, there's going to be a fight.

-DEVIL GROWLS FEROCIOUSLY

-Goodness me!

-Goodness me!

-

-They are funny things.

-Hello. Have you calmed down now?

-They look cute but we've just seen

-how ferocious they can be.

-I wouldn't want one in the house.

-I wouldn't want one in the house.

-

-Oh, it's off again!

-It's an amazing creature, Rhys.

-It wasn't what I expected at all.

-Let's go and get a bacon sandwich.

-Come on.

-Port Arthur.

-In 1996, it experienced the biggest

-tragedy in Australian history.

-Thirty-five people

-lost their lives...

-..when Martin Bryant,

-a 28-year-old from Hobart...

-..lost his mind

-and went on a killing spree.

-This area's murky past

-stems back even further.

-You've brought us to Port Arthur.

-What happened here?

-Many years ago, the naughty boys

-were all brought here.

-The criminals who came here

-were re-offenders.

-They were transported from Sydney,

-so these were really bad boys.

-The aim was to break them

-physically and mentally.

-It had an asylum and

-they spent 23 hours in pure silence.

-There was also a waterwheel.

-It had a special port

-where they exported wood.

-Australia was a growing country

-and they built ships...

-..so stripped the trees.

-They called it hell on earth.

-Boys were brought here

-and taken to a nearby island.

-They were separated

-from the prisoners...

-..but they were taught a craft.

-At least they learnt something

-whilst being imprisoned.

-The hardened criminals

-rebelled against the system...

-..but those who put their heads down

-and worked hard were released.

-It's very interesting.

-Between 1833 and 1877...

-..over 12,000 criminals

-were imprisoned here.

-Today, Port Arthur is Tasmania's

-biggest tourist attraction...

-..with 250,000 visitors every year.

-I'll send you here

-if you don't behave.

-I want a lot of fish today.

-Look at the wonderful water.

-It's screaming with fish.

-It's screaming with fish.

-

-Let's get to it.

-Tasmania has a lot

-of great sites for fishing...

-..so we decided to split up.

-I searched the Hobart estuary

-for black bream...

-..and Rhys ventured to the Tyenna

-River in search of brown trout.

-I've come to the banks

-of the Tyenna River...

-..in Westerway, Tasmania.

-I'll be fishing for the

-famous Tasmanian brown trout.

-I'll be fly fishing.

-I need to be very careful...

-..because the water

-is crystal clear.

-Let's see what happens.

-It'll take a few practice shots.

-I need more length...

-..so that the fly

-lands right in front of the trout.

-That was better.

-It's right where I wanted it.

-Tasmania is very famous

-for its trout fishing.

-We can be grateful to the

-British Empire for one thing.

-They introduced the trout...

-..to the various countries

-within the Empire.

-Tasmania was one of those countries.

-The trout here is similar to the

-trout found across the Empire...

-..and are descendents of a shoal

-from Loch Leven in Scotland...

-..who were brought

-here 200 years ago.

-It's amazing to think

-of those pioneers...

-..who ensured they could enjoy

-trout fishing across the Empire.

-It was one of

-the first things they did.

-I'm sure that many of you at home

-make your own flies...

-..so you might be interested

-in what I'm using in Tasmania.

-Let me show you.

-This fly is quite common to us.

-This is an Adams fly.

-There's an Adams dry fly

-on the front.

-Behind it...

-..there's a hare's ear

-copper head nymph fly.

-It's a very common fly.

-We use it a lot in Wales...

-..because they attract

-the same breed.

-There's nothing different

-to the equipment we use at home.

-This is known as

-the duo technique...

-..or the New Zealand style.

-They developed this technique

-in New Zealand...

-..because of its clear water.

-This was developed

-as a gentle method of fishing...

-..that deceived the trout.

-Here we go.

-Well...

-My perseverance has paid off.

-Look at what I've got.

-I need to dampen my hand first.

-Oh!

-It got away.

-It was a trout.

-A very beautiful brown trout.

-They are here.

-They are taking my flies so

-I'll keep trying to get another one.

-Today, I've come to Montagu Bay

-near Lindisfarne by Hobart...

-..to go fishing with Plinio Taurian.

-Plinio specialises in fishing

-for brim or black bream.

-Hi, Plinio.

-He's not only an expert...

-..but a champion at fishing

-for the southern black bream...

-..that only resides

-in South Australia.

-Plinio has told me that the brim

-lives very close to the shore...

-..under the rocks

-and feeds on seaweed.

-This fishing apparatus

-is very light in weight.

-I need to be very careful because

-this is only a 4lb fishing line.

-This is something very new for me...

-..so I'm learning as I go along.

-I'm with the right person.

-It's a bit of a gamble...

-..to get as close to the rocks

-as you can.

-Oh, I had a take then!

-Oh, I lost it.

-This landscape reminds me

-of fishing in the Menai Straits.

-However,

-the current isn't as strong.

-This is the lure

-that we're using today.

-It's called a minnow.

-These sit just beneath

-the surface of the water.

-The lip allows it

-to sit just under the surface.

-The trebles are quite small.

-You need to cast your line

-towards the shore.

-Any rocks, pieces of litter

-or anything under the water...

-..is where the bream or brim

-will gather.

-The water is very shallow.

-It only looks about two-foot deep.

-When Plinio casts his line,

-it sounds like a whip.

-Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

-Oh, yes. Good fish.

-I thought it was a snag

-and he just sat there on it.

-The fish is trying to escape.

-Plinio is only using

-a 4lb fishing line...

-..so he has to be very careful.

-He doesn't want to put too much

-pressure on the line.

-I can see it now.

-It's a good fish.

-It's the first brim

-I've seen in Tasmania.

-Woah!

-We need to be quick.

-Plinio has dropped the rod

-into the water...

-..so that the fish

-doesn't collide with the boat.

-It's quite a brim.

-Yeah, nice fish.

-Yeah, nice fish.

-

-That is a lovely fish.

-The treble

-is in the corner of the mouth.

-I can't believe how motionless it is

-as I handle it.

-A fish usually wriggles

-all over the place.

-This would be how old?

-That one

-would probably be maybe 15.

-It's quite a small fish

-but it's 15 years old.

-The grow very slowly

-just like the sea bass in Wales.

-There we are.

-Excellent.

-OK... in it goes.

-I'll let it come around slowly

-in the water.

-When it's ready, it will swim away.

-There we are. It's off like a shot.

-Excellent!

-It's the first brim

-I've seen in Tasmania.

-Well done, Plinio. Fantastic!

-I wonder how Rhys is getting on.

-Knowing Rhys, he's probably

-caught half a dozen already!

-I'm trying to cast over there.

-The water is flowing nicely

-around that tree.

-It's a great spot

-to try and deceive the fish.

-This water isn't very warm.

-It's actually quite cold.

-No, nothing's taking here.

-I need to get out very slowly...

-..so that I can work my way up

-to the next pool.

-I'm creeping along quite gingerly...

-..as there's a lovely pool

-in front of me.

-In Wales, we say that the big fish

-are found under the banks.

-I'm trying to get my fly

-as close to the bank as possible...

-..to see if any trout

-rear their heads.

-I had a bit of luck.

-The fly bounced off a leaf.

-That's one of the old tricks.

-As soon as the line

-has an unnatural effect...

-..on the movement of the fly...

-..the fly starts to skate.

-That's when it's over for you.

-I can use it all day as long as

-it retains its natural movement.

-Oh, I had a bite just then.

-Anyone could tell me...

-..that they think fishing

-is a dull and boring hobby.

-But I'd tell them to come with me

-to watch a dry fly...

-..as it dances on the surface

-of a river in Tasmania.

-That's when you can tell me

-if it's boring or not!

-I think I'll move on from here.

-I managed to catch one fish today...

-..but it slipped out of my hand.

-However, it did prove to me...

-..that my fishing is effective.

-It's just lucky that

-I don't have to feed a family...

-..or we'd be eating

-Weetabix tonight!

-All the waterways in Tasmania...

-..are controlled by the government.

-This can only be a good thing.

-It means that anyone can go fishing.

-You won't find any fishing clubs...

-..who own sections of a river.

-It's in the hands of the state.

-They can control it,

-preserve it, licence it...

-..and protect it.

-Oh!

-I lost another one.

-I think that was a good fish too.

-That was a bit of excitement.

-It came up to the surface

-to take the nymph.

-The nymph hadn't

-event sunk in the water.

-We might get a bit more luck...

-..as the afternoon progresses.

-I can see that fish

-feeding on something.

-I've just seen it

-raising its head once again...

-..so I'll try to keep the fly

-on the water.

-My heart is pounding.

-I caught one

-but it slipped out of my hands...

-..and I just missed

-that other one.

-I'm confident

-that there are fish to be had...

-..and they want to meet a Welshman

-so I'll persevere.

-This kind of fishing

-calls for you to search the water.

-I've bagged myself a trout.

-I'm trying to keep the line

-nice and tight.

-Wonderful!

-I'm going to walk up the river...

-..to find a suitable place

-so that I can show it to you.

-It's a Tasmanian brown trout.

-Stay with me, boy!

-I need to wet my hand.

-Beautiful... beautiful.

-Can you see that?

-It's a pretty little trout.

-Back it goes.

-Wonderful.

-Alright, boy. How did you get on?

-I caught a few trout.

-Were they a good size?

-No, they don't grow very big

-in the rivers.

-It was very technical as I had

-to fish upstream but it was fun.

-Shall we have some food?

-Shall we have some food?

-

-Yes, what have you got?

-I've got a tasty pie for you.

-I've got a tasty pie for you.

-

-Lovely. A pie it is!

-Tasmania's capital city

-of Hobart was founded in 1804.

-It's the oldest capital city

-in Australia after Sydney.

-The island was discovered in 1642...

-..by the Dutch explorer,

-Abel Tasman.

-He was the first European

-to set foot on the island...

-..that was once

-known as Van Diemen's Land.

-In the spirit of Abel Tasman,

-we had an adventure of our own.

-We're about to leave

-Hobart Harbour in Tasmania.

-Our pilot for the day is Jethro.

-G'day, Jethro!

-G'day, Jethro!

-

-G'day!

-Jethro used to work in RAF Valley on

-Anglesey and lived at Y Felinheli...

-..so we're in great company.

-Over to you, Jethro!

-Jethro was telling me that if we

-flew directly out over the ocean...

-..we would reach Antarctica.

-We're closer to Antarctica...

-..than to the city of Perth

-in Australia.

-It just proves the sheer magnitude

-of Australia.

-Tasmania itself

-is 26 square miles.

-It's three times

-the size of Wales...

-..but has a population of 500,000.

-It has a similar climate to Wales.

-It's the coldest part of Australia

-with four clear seasons.

-Winter runs from June to August.

-It can drop to 3 degrees Celsius

-in Hobart...

-..and snow sometimes falls

-on the mountains.

-Mount Wellington

-is in that direction.

-It's almost

-as tall as Ben Nevis in Scotland.

-You organised something

-quite amazing again, Gwenllian.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much.

-

-You're welcome. It was fantastic.

-It was so smooth. I expected it

-to bounce along the waves.

-I didn't realise we'd taken off.

-Did you see the oyster beds?

-Did you see the oyster beds?

-

-And the salmon farms.

-It's an amazing coastline...

-..and you can see all the spits

-that connect the islands.

-The beaches were so clean and

-there were some fantastic villages.

-Come on, let's go.

-That was amazing.

-That was amazing.

-

-Yes, brilliant.

-It's a cold and wet morning...

-..but Scott and Matthew say it's

-the ideal weather to catch tuna.

-The rain and clouds

-remind me of home.

-Let's catch some tuna!

-Let's catch some tuna!

-

-Come on.

-The tackle that we're using today...

-..in order to battle with the tuna

-that grows to 500lbs in this area...

-..is a very strong rod

-that's known as a stand up stick.

-It belongs to the 50-80lb class.

-This extremely strong rod...

-..is teamed with

-a Shimano TLD 50 reel.

-It's similar to a bike

-because it has two gears.

-We use the high gear

-when we catch the fish...

-..and switch to the low gear

-when locked in battle with the fish.

-The fishing line

-is approximately 600m long...

-..and weighs about 50-60lb.

-This is the lure we're using.

-It's a skirted lure

-with a solid head.

-These are made in Hawaii.

-Our skipper, Scott,

-has fitted them with these skirts.

-There's an extremely thick

-200lb line...

-..and a very strong hook.

-The next lure

-sits deeper in the water.

-It's for tuna fishing

-and it's called a halco.

-This lure has a lip...

-..which helps the lure sink

-nose-first into the water.

-It has the same tackle

-which is very strong...

-..because tunas are real fighters.

-I've been chatting with Scott.

-He said we have south-westerly

-winds which oxygenates the water.

-They feed on the saury fish

-and we've used them before.

-They are sold as

-a bluey fish in Britain.

-They feed on garfish

-and small fish...

-..such as the mackerel

-that we used for the sharks.

-They also like small squid.

-Let's hope they ignore those fish

-and choose our bits of plastic!

-Yes, let's hope so.

-You're first up today.

-You're first up today.

-

-Yes, I'm after a bluey.

-A big bluey, not a small one!

-There's a lot of birds

-diving into the sea...

-..but the tuna is pushing

-the bait fish to the surface.

-There's also seals in the water...

-..who are feeding

-on the scraps left by the tuna.

-The birds eat whatever

-the seals have left behind.

-It's proof that there's tuna in

-these waters so I hope I catch one!

-I caught something. I don't think

-it's very big but it's a fish!

-Well done, Jules.

-Is it still there?

-Is it still there?

-

-Yes.

-It's swimming towards the boat.

-It's a striped tuna.

-That's it. In it comes.

-It isn't very big but it's a fish!

-It's got amazing colourings with an

-almost fluorescent blue on its back.

-I'll show you

-if it stops wriggling.

-The tail is still moving.

-This is a striped tuna.

-Come on, Rhys.

-What have you got?

-It's a stripey.

-Oh, it's got away.

-No, it's swimming towards you.

-No, it's swimming towards you.

-

-Yes, it's still there.

-Bring it in.

-Goodness me, they're lively.

-Goodness me, they're lively.

-

-Yes, they are.

-It's a stripey for Rhys.

-It's a stripey for Rhys.

-

-It's wonderful.

-There are blue veins

-running over its body.

-It's behaving itself, unlike mine!

-It's behaving itself, unlike mine!

-

-It likes the camera.

-It's just like a bullet.

-It's the perfect shape

-for darting through the water.

-There's the strong dorsal fin.

-It doesn't have any teeth...

-..unlike the bonito that

-has teeth like the dogtooth tuna.

-Great, Rhys. Well done.

-We've got a pair of stripers!

-my friend, Rhys Llywelyn and I...

-..are fishing for tuna

-on the Tasman Sea.

-The sea is rough

-but we've already caught one each.

-Jules, Jules, Jules!

-Alright?

-Alright?

-

-Yep.

-That's it.

-We've got another striped tuna.

-Could you hold that please, Rhys?

-They all seem to be the same size...

-..and appear to like

-these small, skirted lures.

-Once again,

-we can see it's striking colours.

-It's shivering

-so must feel the cold.

-I'm cold!

-I know we're in Australia

-but it's still cold.

-We don't want you to think

-that we're sunning ourselves.

-Not today, anyway!

-Not today, anyway!

-

-No, not at all.

-This one is really wriggling.

-I think it's bigger than the others.

-I think it's bigger than the others.

-

-Yes, it is.

-We're on the right track.

-We're on the right track.

-

-Yes, they're growing.

-We're fishing under the cliffs

-of Cape Pillar...

-..and we've had

-quite a few bites here.

-Yes, we have.

-There seems to be a shoal

-of skipjack tuna by here.

-The birds and seals

-are moving all the time.

-This is where

-the action has started.

-There's food here

-and it's a hive of activity.

-I think this is another small one.

-It could be our old friend

-the striped tuna.

-I'll bring it in now.

-Have you got it?

-Have you got it?

-

-Yes.

-Well done, Rhys. Thank you.

-Stay still for goodness sake!

-The tail is a fantastic colour.

-Excellent.

-In Tasmania,

-this is known as the striped tuna.

-However, it's real name

-is the skipjack tuna.

-We consume tonnes of

-the skipjack tuna out of tins.

-It looks very different

-to the tuna I eat out of a tin.

-It's more colourful and lively.

-We're sailing between the

-Tasman Island and Cape Pillar.

-These are some of the tallest cliffs

-in the Southern Hemisphere.

-I feel as if

-I'm on the set of King Kong!

-RHYS IMITATES A GORILLA

-As if a gorilla from Llanllwni

-on my back wasn't bad enough...

-..the waves were attacking me too!

-A fresh shower!

-Time for the rinse.

-Wash and go!

-Matthew is preparing

-the striped tuna for us.

-The colour of the flesh

-is quite amazing, Rhys.

-It looks very tasty.

-It looks just like a steak.

-It looks just like a steak.

-

-Yes, full of blood.

-This variety of tuna

-retains a lot of blood...

-..along the backbone

-or the bloodline.

-This piece of flesh is worthless.

-He's removed the tasty flesh

-from around the backbone area.

-That's why the sharks

-enjoy them so much.

-What are you making

-for us tonight, Julian?

-It's a surprise.

-It's a surprise.

-

-A tuna sandwich.

-Yes, with a bit of mayonnaise

-and some sweetcorn!

-Yep... Go on, Rhys.

-Once again, as we returned to

-the harbour, we had one more bite.

-It was Rhys' turn with the rod.

-Tasmanian fishing regulations state

-you can only catch two tuna each.

-We already had four fish, so this

-little tuna had a lucky escape.

-We had more than enough for supper.

-It's a shame

-we didn't catch anything bigger.

-It might be too early for them.

-Our final return to the harbour...

-..brought our Tasmanian adventure

-to an end.

-We're returning to Pirates Bay

-at the end of a wonderful day.

-Yes, and the sun is shining again.

-You caught your first ever tuna.

-You caught your first ever tuna.

-

-Yes, I'm happy with that.

-They are beautiful fish.

-They are beautiful fish.

-

-Yes, with that sparkling blue tone.

-Let's return to our cottage to cook

-and eat the best tuna in Tasmania.

-Goodbye for now!

-Goodbye for now!

-

-Ta-ra!

-Next time, we visit Brisbane,

-Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef.

-You look like a penguin, Rhys.

-Woah, look at that!

-The Welsh boys!

-Woah, it's a marlin.

-It's very dangerous. Excellent.

-Fantastic.

-Fantastic.

-

-It's a good one.

-Heavens above, Rhys!
