0:00:00 > 0:00:02- Australia.
0:00:02 > 0:00:08- It's the world's largest island that - covers three million square miles.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- Its coastline is 37,000 miles long.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16- It's the oldest, flattest - and lowest-lying continent...
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- ..that is a paradise for fishermen.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24- Join me, Julian Lewis Jones - and my friend, Rhys Llywelyn...
0:00:24 > 0:00:30- ..as we fulfil a lifelong dream - and fish her seas and rivers.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34- We'll meet her people and animals.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39- We also visit this amazing - country's most historic sites.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Excellent, Rhys!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45- We'll travel from Sydney - to the island of Tasmania...
0:00:45 > 0:00:49- ..to Brisbane, Cairns - and the Great Barrier Reef.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53- We visit the Northern Territory - and Darwin's sweltering heat...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- ..and finish in Western Australia...
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- ..in Exmouth and the Ningaloo Reef - which is a Mecca for fishermen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- Once again, our guide is our - old friend, Gwenllian Jones Palmer.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07- A marlin!
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- This time, we visit Brisbane, - Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- You look like a penguin, Rhys!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Woah! Look at that, Rhys!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- The Welsh boys!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- Welcome to Queensland, - the sunshine state.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37- What do you think?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- What do you think?- - It's wonderful.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- This is Mount Coot-tha, - 237m above the city of Brisbane.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- We can see Moreton Bay - in the background.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- You won't be fishing in the bay.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56- I want you to experience something - that exceeds your expectations.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- Come on then!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59- River fishing.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00- Trout?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- Trout?- - Flathead?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Bull sharks.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04- Bull sharks.- - In the river.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- In the heart of the city?
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- What line are you going to use?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- What line are you going to use?- - A thick one.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13- How big is the hook?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- How big is the hook?- - It's massive, like an anchor!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- There's a bucket of blood - in the car. Come on.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21- Thank you.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Brisbane is the capital of - Queensland in north-east Australia.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- It's bordered by the Coral Sea...
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- ..which is home - to the Great Barrier Reef.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Thanks to Gwen, - we start on the Brisbane River.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- The boat, Firebird and her captain, - Warwick Maclean were waiting for us.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- It's a beautiful afternoon, Rhys.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Sharks only tend - to start feasting at twilight.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00- We'll leave the harbour - and head towards the river.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Warwick said that Matt, - the deck hand...
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- ..has caught us some mullet - on the river.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- We'll be ready for the bull sharks.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- We'll be ready for the bull sharks.- - That saves us a job!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- I could do - with a boat like this myself.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Matt is using the live mullet - that he's caught...
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- ..to put on a hook.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- He's removed the scales - so it's easier to put on the hook.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- It's going to swim in the water.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- The balloon acts as a float so - that the mullet can swim freely.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- He'll cast the line out too.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- He's going to use some dead bait - on the other line.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I've wanted to do this - for over four years.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- It's the only shark that survives - in freshwater and saltwater.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- That's why they are so dangerous.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- That's why they are so dangerous.- - Yes, that's right.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- It's the most likely shark - to attack humans.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Thanks for bringing me!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- You've waited four years - so you can go first.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Yes, why not?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- The sun is starting to set - so it's the ideal time.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- Despite the perfect conditions, - we had a long wait ahead of us.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- It's getting dark now.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- This is always the case - when fishing for shark.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- It's a matter of waiting - and showing patience.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- We're using about six different rods - at the moment.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- It's relatively quiet.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- We're not having a lot of luck.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- We've moved closer - to the old dock or harbour...
0:05:08 > 0:05:14- ..to try and get our bait - underneath the structure...
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- ..and hope we find the big fish.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- People always say the big fish - are under the bank!
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- The fish are there, but I'm not sure - if they'll take the bait or not.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- RHYS COOS
0:05:36 > 0:05:41- I suspect this is our last location - tonight. The last chance saloon!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- I've got a real mixture here. - It looks like I'm preparing a meal.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- The garfish is - mixed with mullet guts...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- ..and some small squid or calamari.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- These must be finely chopped - and mixed together...
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- ..to form the burley trail - or the chum.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Throw it in bit by bit.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Throw in a small amount of burley - at regular intervals.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15- We want to attract the sharks, - not feed them.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- The bull shark isn't the only - large, dirty animal...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- ..that lives on the Brisbane River.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- That's very true.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- We're being eaten alive - by mosquitoes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- I think these mosquitoes - are on steroids!
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- It's like being home in Traws - but they're twice the size.
0:06:43 > 0:06:43- Are you alright?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Are you alright?- - It hurts!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- We were unlucky - with the bull sharks but...
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Oh, they're everywhere.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- There's plenty of mosquitoes.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'll give you a clip - around your head.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- That's it. I'm signing off.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- This is the Lone Pine - Koala Sanctuary.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- I'm hoping to show you a lot - of Australian wildlife here.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28- Hi, Karen.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- This is Rhys and Julian.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Hi, Karen. How are you?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34- Will we see loads of animals today?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Will we see loads of animals today?- - Lots of Australian native animals.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Follow me and we'll go - and meet some of them.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- There's not only koalas...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- ..but other native creatures - at this centre.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Tchk, tchk, tchk.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- What was that, Skip? Someone's - trapped in a mineshaft?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I'd better go.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Lone Pine is the oldest - and biggest sanctuary of its kind.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11- Since 1927, this site has cared for - these iconic creatures.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17- This is one of - a very few sanctuaries...
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- ..that permits the public - to cuddle a koala!
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- This animal is less aggressive - than a bull shark.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27- Yes, definitely.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- I wouldn't argue with those claws!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- How does it feel to cuddle a koala?
0:08:33 > 0:08:34- How does it feel to cuddle a koala?- - It's wonderful.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- You look so content.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Shall we see what else is here?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Shall we see what else is here?- - Yes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- It's home to 130 koalas...
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- ..but of all the animals here, - my favourite has to be the wombat.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- From one wombat to another.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Julian has found himself a friend.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- It's scorching this afternoon.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- It's scorching this afternoon.- - Yes, it is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Wait until you get to Cairns!
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- You'll have to travel light - because you're sleeping on the boat.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Cosy!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- You're quite used to that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- You're quite used to that.- - Oh, yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- .
0:09:22 > 0:09:22- Subtitles
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- We left Gwenllian in Brisbane - to fly to Cairns...
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- ..to catch the boat that would be - our home on the Great Barrier Reef.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- First, we visited a rainforest - on the Skyrail.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- The first thing you notice - is the change in temperature.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- We wore coats - on the sea in Tasmania.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- I've heard that it hardly ever falls - below 10 degrees.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Despite the heat, - we're in a tropical rainforest...
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- ..and 2m of rain falls annually.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Thanks to the 7.5km Skyrail...
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- ..visitors can enjoy the scenery - without affecting the eco-system.
0:10:13 > 0:10:19- The first series of I'm a Celebrity, - Get Me Out of Here was filmed here.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- You've survived two hours - in the jungle, Julian.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- You're a celebrity, - get yourself out of here!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- Thank you. Thank you so much.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- That must be our boat.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- I've dreamt of fishing on the Great - Barrier Reef since I was a child.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Morning, guys. I'm Jules.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- G'day, Jules. I'm Darren.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- G'day, Jules. I'm Darren.- - I'm Rhys.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Hiya, Dan. How are you? - I'm very excited.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54- It's lovely, Rhys.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Yes, the sun is shining - and the sea is calm.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Off we go to catch the big fish!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- My boat is over there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- It should be owned - by a James Bond villain.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13- We bid farewell to the city of - Cairns, its forests and mountains...
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- ..and I'm very excited to be heading - towards the Great Barrier Reef.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28- The Great Barrier Reef is - two hours away from Cairns Marina...
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- ..so we had plenty of time - to prepare our equipment.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Dan is preparing a teaser.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- There aren't any hooks - on these lures.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- These encourage the fish to surface.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- This is the bird - that goes on the outrigger.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- The bird and teasers - are in the water.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- We're imitating a shoal of fish - and call them the bait fish.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- A marlin, wahoo or Spanish mackerel - could surface...
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- ..and attack the bird or teasers.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- It's an old trick, but effective.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Woo-ho-hoo!
0:12:18 > 0:12:19- Have you had a bite, Jules?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Have you had a bite, Jules?- - Yes. It isn't big but it's a fish!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- I'm reeling this one in.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28- Here it comes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29- Here it comes.- - It's a good one, Jules.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- OK, Dan. Great!
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Here it is.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- My first Spanish mackerel.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- This is a Spanish mackerel.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- There's still a lot of life in him.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- You can see its shape.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Heavens above! - I think it's woken up!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- They are very quick.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Its teeth - resemble those of a barracuda.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- I wouldn't like a bite from them.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00- I wouldn't like a bite from them.- - No, they're like needles.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03- Oh!
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- It's a better fish - and taken a lot of the line.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12- Yes, I think so.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Yes, I think so.- - Oh, it's a nice one.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- It swam all the way to you.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Yes? Oh, we've got another one here.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It's swimming towards the boat.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- They are quite devious.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- They swim towards the boat...
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- ..and I'm trying to reel it in - as quickly as possible.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- I can feel its weight.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- I think it's swimming - on the other side.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Yes, it's still swimming.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- I can feel its weight now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- It's just a matter of reeling it in - as quickly as I can.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- I think it's another mackerel.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- This fish is incredibly fast.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- That's it. Excellent.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Great!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- We've each caught a great fish.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- We've each caught a great fish.- - A mackerel each.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- Spanish mackerel.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- They're bigger than the Moelfre - mackerel caught off Anglesey.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- Yes, definitely.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- You'd need 20 of those - to make one of them.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- They are beautiful fish too.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19- They are beautiful fish too.- - Yes, they are.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24- We've got one each so all - we need now are some baguettes!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Dan is preparing the fresh bait.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I didn't realise there were - so many different garfish.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- There's only one variety in Wales.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- This garfish has five spots. - The middle fish has one spot.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- The third doesn't have spots.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- What is this one, Dan?
0:14:42 > 0:14:43- What is this one, Dan?- - A silver gar.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- There's only one variety in Wales.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- You need fresh bait - and a strong line...
0:14:50 > 0:14:55- ..because you never know - what you might find in these depths.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- I've tightened - the drag of the reel.
0:15:03 > 0:15:09- The line was screaming as the fish - pulled away but it has tightened.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- They are fast swimmers.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- They swim straight at the boat - and I thought I'd lose mine.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Yes, but they are very quick.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- It's difficult to keep the fish - and secure a tight line.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- This one is running.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27- I'm catching up.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- It's important to keep contact - with the fish.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- These rods are very flexible.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35- These rods are very flexible.- - Yes, they are.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- I'm glad - I had that steak last night!
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- Darren, our skipper thinks I may - have accidentally caught a shark.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- As the mackerel swam towards us...
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- ..he thinks a shark - has attacked our mackerel.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- We'll have to wait - for it to come up.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- You like sharks, Jules.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- You like sharks, Jules.- - Yes, I love them!
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- I don't mind. I wish it had eaten - its tail and left the rest for us!
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- It would be easier to reel in.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11- That's it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16- I think I've got its head - but the rest of the fish has gone.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Here it comes. I can see its colour.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- There's a large shark.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- There's a large shark.- - It's a big shark.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24- Oh, a hammerhead.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Oh, a hammerhead.- - Whoa! That's a big shark!
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- It's a massive hammerhead.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Look at its head. - Heavens above, it's huge!
0:16:35 > 0:16:36- Goodness me.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- I knew it was a big one.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- You won't find those in Wales.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42- You won't find those in Wales.- - No, not yet.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- I'm so excited.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- I've only seen them - on television or in films.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- It's going for your bait.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Yes, it's taken your bait.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- Jules has caught the hammerhead.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- You'll really be sweating now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- It's going, it's going.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- There's a lot of drag - on this reel now.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Ho, ho!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Goodness me.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- It's the Moby Dick of sharks!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- It's brilliant. - Who would've thought it?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Do you want a hand?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Do you want a hand?- - No, it's bitten off. He's off.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Amazing, amazing, amazing. - Brilliant, Jules.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- I've caught my first hammerhead.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46- We didn't have to bring it into the - boat because it broke free itself.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- The shark was absolutely massive - and its head was this big!
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- Heavens above.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- What an experience!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I don't think - I'll be going swimming!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- I've got a bite and - there's a real bend in the rod.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- You can really work the fish - when using a strong line.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- The rod is flexible - but it is draining for the fish.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- Here it comes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Here it comes.- - Well done.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- I couldn't let you have all the fun.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24- I couldn't let you have all the fun.- - I was just testing it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- I'm not just here to look pretty!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- The hammerhead's back.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- The hammerhead's back.- - Woah... Rhys, Rhys, Rhys!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Watch out for the hammerhead.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Woah!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Get him, get him. That's it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Goodness me, Rhys!
0:18:51 > 0:18:56- I didn't want that hammerhead on - my lightweight rod or it's ta-ta!
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Here it comes again.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Wow!
0:19:03 > 0:19:09- Darren thinks we should move or - it'll happen over and over again.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- The hammerhead came to see - what was happening...
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- ..but brought a pack with it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- It was our old enemy.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- He still had my hook in his mouth!
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- He obviously wanted more food - so we moved location...
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- ..which gave us time - to prepare supper.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- Dan is going to prepare - the Spanish mackerel for us.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- That's quite a fillet, Rhys.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- That's quite a fillet, Rhys.- - Yes, I'd say so.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- You won't need - a lot of chips with that.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- It's bigger than - Moelfre mackerel fillets.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- It has amazing colours - with these stripes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- One for you and one for me, Rhys.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Darren, our skipper told me - that he'd seen the fish.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- He's got a better view than me.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- It's a Spanish mackerel.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- This is a very angry - Spanish mackerel.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- Goodness me.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Goodness me.- - Come on, come on.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- This is a big mackerel.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Oh, yes. It is.
0:20:31 > 0:20:32- Watch out!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Woah! Woo-hoo!
0:20:36 > 0:20:37- Excellent!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- It's a massive Spanish mackerel.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- It's like a rocket.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- There you are.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Take a look at those teeth.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- I wouldn't want to argue with him!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Excellent! Fantastic!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Rhys has caught a sailfish.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Oh, it's over there. - Look at it in the distance.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Heavens above.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Oh, fantastic. Look at that, Rhys.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Is it a small black?
0:21:18 > 0:21:19- Is it a small black?- - A small black.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- It's a marlin.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- Is your heart racing?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Is your heart racing?- - My heart is in my mouth.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Darren has asked us to put - the ratchet on the reel...
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- ..so he can hear - if the fish is escaping...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- ..or if Rhys is gaining on the fish.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- I've been waiting for - something like this all my life.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- I know it isn't very big.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- I know it isn't very big.- - I've never caught a marlin.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- It's a great way - to break yourself into it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- They can dive unexpectedly - straight into the air.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00- The coloured line stands out too.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- The coloured line stands out too.- - You can see where it's going.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Whoa!
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Oh, it's so exciting.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09- Oh, it's so exciting.- - Yes, it is.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- I can feel it shaking its head.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- Wow!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Wow!- - They are swimming machines.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- And these grow to the size of a car.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- This one is big enough for me today!
0:22:25 > 0:22:31- It's great because - we're using lightweight tackle.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- The biggest marlin caught - in the 2013 heavy tackle season...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- ..was 1,200lbs.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- I'm sure it pulled like a train.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- You've done most of it - without your butt pads.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- I'm a hard man.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- I'm a hard man.- - Yes, from Llanllwni.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- They breed them hard in Llanllwni.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- That's it. Here it comes.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Goodness me!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- It's going to do it again.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- It's trying to shake that lure off.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Heavens above.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- OK. You alright, Dan?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47- Woah!
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- It's a big one.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- That's excellent, Rhys. What a fish!
0:23:55 > 0:24:00- Come this side. Put your hands - under his belly and his tail.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- That's beautiful.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04- Excellent, Rhys.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- Goodness me.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- It's a black marlin.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- CHEERING
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- The Welsh boys.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- The Welsh boys.- - The Welsh boys!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- A black marlin from Cairns.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21- Back it goes.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Oh, Julian. That made my day.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- I thought it has made your year.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- I thought it has made your year.- - No, my decade!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- That's excellent.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- You fought it perfectly. - It was fantastic.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- All the fishing for trout - put me in good stead for this!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Fantastic.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- It was totally amazing - to be able to see it in the flesh.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Great, boys!
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- We've had an amazing day - of fishing, Rhys.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Yes, unforgettable.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55- We're exhausted.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- It's been warm and we've had - a lot of physical fishing.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- The adrenalin was pumping too.
0:25:04 > 0:25:04- Well done to you.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Well done to you.- - Thank you and congratulations.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Let's have something to eat.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12- .
0:25:16 > 0:25:16- Subtitles
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:25:21 > 0:25:27- Brisbane is Queensland's biggest - city that's home to three million.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- It's named after - Sir Thomas Brisbane...
0:25:30 > 0:25:36- ..a Scot who was Governor of - New South Wales in the 19th century.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- The city is on a flood plain...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- ..an area of flat land - that often gets flooded.
0:25:43 > 0:25:50- Five years ago, Eiriol Davies - and her family emigrated here.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- How does Brisbane - compare to Ceredigion?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- I enjoy it.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01- Everything is outside, there's a lot - of sports and the weather is great.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- You live right on the river.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- You live right on the river.- - Yes, I'm very lucky.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06- Do you go fishing?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Do you go fishing?- - No.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- My son caught a catfish - but that was before the floods.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- The floods were two years ago.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- What kind of damage did you witness?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- There was a lot of damage.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- The water levels - reached the top of that tree.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- They are paler above the water line.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32- Our neighbours got flooded and some - lost everything so we were lucky.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Brisbane was being wrenched - into pieces.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- After the city's wettest December...
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- ..the government was forced to open - the Wivenhoe Dam floodgates...
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- ..to stop the reservoir walls - collapsing.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- This sight - greeted the city at first light.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Suburb after suburb surrounded. - Riverside enclaves waterlogged.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- During January 2011...
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- ..over 200,000 people - were affected by this disaster.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- It cost the city 2.8 billion.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- The residents of Brisbane - retain these vivid memories.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- There was a boat - in one of these trees.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- There was an incredible amount - of litter.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- The boats just cut across - our neighbours' lawn.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Lots needed to be re-homed.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Some homes were not flooded - but had no electricity...
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- ..because the station was flooded.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- They needed to be re-homed - so many families moved here.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- It's been lovely to meet you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- I'm being eaten alive.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- It's mosquito city - at this time of night.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Let's have a glass of wine.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- Good morning. It's another fine day - on the Great Barrier Reef.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Oh, it's hot already!
0:28:07 > 0:28:07- It's lovely.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- It's lovely.- - The lines are out already.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- I got out of bed, - the lines were in the water.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- We stepped out - and had a bite straight away.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- That's a good way - to wake up in the morning.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Oh, I'm out of breath.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29- What have you got? A mackerel?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- What have you got? A mackerel?- - Yes, it's a big one too.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Oh, yes. It's a monster.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36- Whoa!
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- It's a good morning on the Great - Barrier Reef with a mackerel!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44- What a way to start the morning!
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- What a way to start the morning!- - Let me shake your left hand.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- Thanks. I haven't had time - to put on my hat or sunglasses.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Let's have kippers - and scrambled egg.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- We've stopped trolling - to try the jiggy jiggy.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- We're over the reef.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- One rod has a pilchard bait - and it's freelining...
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- ..whilst Rhys and I - will use jigs on our two rods.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Before the jig hit the water...
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- ..there was an unusual bite - on the baited rod.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- We've got another species here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26- It's a red bass.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Its teeth are very different - to our bass.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35- It's poisonous and you can't keep it - so we'll have to throw it back.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Oh, my goodness.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48- This one is real bully!
0:29:49 > 0:29:54- These rods are very strong - and this one is trying to break it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- I hope it's a GT - a giant trevally.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- I've got to get it - out of that coral.
0:30:01 > 0:30:07- They cleverly manoeuvre - between the corals...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- ..and break the line.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14- I can see it.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- I can see it.- - It's big and it's white.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Woah, it's trying to get away.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- It's really putting up a fight.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Oh, Rhys!
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Oh, dear me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- I think it was - a GT from its shape...
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- ..and sharks fight differently - as they run more.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- This one was jagged.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- It certainly woke us up.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- It certainly woke us up.- - Yes, but we'll try again.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- There was no doubt that - our next catch was a lot heavier!
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- It's just waiting there.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52- It's just waiting there.- - Yes, it is.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- I wonder if it's a shark.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Oh, it's awake now.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- You're going to catch - your first bronze whaler, Rhys.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- t isn't in the boat yet.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07- No, but keep going.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- You've hooked it - because I can see the leader.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Once you touch that...
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Whoa!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- There are three sharks here now.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20- That's it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- That's it.- - Ho-hoo! Well done, Rhys.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- Excellent. - A bronze whaler. Fantastic.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Once again, - we had to leave the sharks...
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- ..and move to the reef in the hope - of catching something unusual.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- Our skipper, Darren, - or Biggles to his friends...
0:31:38 > 0:31:44- ..knew just where to go - to snare a very special fish.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46- It's in. Off we go!
0:31:47 > 0:31:48- Whoa! A marlin!
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Oh! Wa, wa, wa, wa!
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- It's a small one - but it's lively. Goodness me!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- It's a juvenile black.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Well done, Jules.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- You're almost there.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- One more run.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- That's it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- I'm trying to keep the line tight.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- The colours are amazing.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- They're dazzling.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- It's trying to get rid of the hook.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- It looks beautiful in the water.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26- It looks beautiful in the water.- - The colours are amazing.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Goodness me. And again.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- Oh, it's a beautiful fish.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- Dan is getting the leader as - I pull it in. That's it. Excellent.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- It's a juvenile marlin.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- That's it. OK.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- Hold it by the belly - to support it.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49- Here we go.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- I've never caught a marlin before - and this is excellent...
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- ..but they are extremely lively - and jump everywhere.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01- You can go back now.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- That's just what I needed - this afternoon.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I was feeling a bit weary - after trolling for hours.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- When trolling you spend hours - in anticipation...
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- ..before this explosion - of excitement.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Excellent. Fantastic!
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- I need a cup of tea - to warm myself up.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- And scones? Any scones?
0:33:30 > 0:33:36- After afternoon tea, even the fish - decided to take a siesta!
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- It's gone quiet all of a sudden.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54- I suspect Poseidon, god of the sea, - thinks we've caught enough.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56- We've done quite well.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- The skipper said they learn quickly.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- They've told their friends - that two Welshmen caught them!
0:34:04 > 0:34:05- Avoid!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- They couldn't avoid us for long!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- We've got a bite each.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- We're getting our money's worth - from these rods today.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- These are wonderfully flexible.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25- The Spanish mackerel - are really attacking the bait.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- The fish tire quickly with these - rods as the rod does all the work.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- I think this is another mackerel.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- It's coming to the surface - of the water.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- That's it. - It's another Spanish mackerel.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- There's no pattern. - You do whatever needs to be done.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Great job, Dan.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Oh, that's a fine pair.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56- Excellent, Rhys.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57- Excellent, Rhys.- - Fantastic!
0:34:58 > 0:34:59- Fantastic!
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- In no time at all, - the two became three...
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- ..and the Coral Sea - was bubbling with fish once again.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10- Grrrr!
0:35:16 > 0:35:17- Another mackerel.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- There's teeth marks - from where it took my bait.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26- This could be the final - mackerel of the day.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- It's still doing its best to escape - so it can go back.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- The sun is setting - over Michaelmas Island.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- It's been another - excellent day of fishing.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- You've joined the black marlin club.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- You've joined the black marlin club.- - Yes, Rhys Llywelyn's club.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- The marlins club.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- My shoulders are aching now.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Yes, the old muscles - have been affected.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- The sun is setting and the moon is - rising so we should have some food.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13- Good morning.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- This is where we sleep. - My bed is here.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18- Morning, Darren.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19- Morning, Darren.- - Morning.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21- It's breakfast time.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Morning, Rhys. Are you ready for it?
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- Morning, Rhys. Are you ready for it?- - I'm having vegemite on toast.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- I think I'll have cereal - this morning.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- We're near Michaelmas Island.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- I've got some leftover toast and - there's some fish underneath us...
0:36:38 > 0:36:40- ..so we can feed the fish.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- You'll see it all on camera.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- The larger ones on the surface - are batfish.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- The smaller ones - are called fusiliers.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- I've spotted a GT in the depths.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- We cannot catch them here - as it's a conservation area.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02- When we sail further into the reef, - I hope to catch a large GT.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Eh! Wahey!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- He got it. That was excellent.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- He took it right out - of my hand. Great!
0:37:15 > 0:37:20- After feeding the fish, we joined - one of the many snorkelling trips...
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- ..that leave Cairns - to visit the reef.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Tourism within the Great Barrier - Reef creates an income...
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- ..worth billions of dollars - to Queensland's annual economy.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39- It helps preserve and protect one - of the natural wonders of the world.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- You look like a penguin, Rhys!
0:38:00 > 0:38:06- It's the world's largest reef - with 2,900 individual reefs...
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- ..and 900 islands...
0:38:08 > 0:38:14- ..stretching over 2,600km - in the Coral Sea.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- That was an unforgettable - experience. It was amazing.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- We've seen all sorts of fish.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- I saw a large pipefish.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- I saw a large pipefish.- - I saw a large ray.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- It's difficult to describe.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- I lacked confidence at first - but really got into it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- You go into the zone - and it was unforgettable.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- I'm so glad we were able to do it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- I'm so glad we were able to do it.- - That's another box ticked!
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- There's a lot of others left.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- We returned to the Bounty Hunter - for our final day of fishing.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- What did today have in-store for us?
0:39:02 > 0:39:07- It's a mackerel but it's bigger - than the others we've caught.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- It has run quite a distance...
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- ..but it's coming - towards the boat now.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18- Oh!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Goodness me.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- That's what I call a mackerel.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29- These fish are very strong - but dangerous with those teeth.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- It's a decent fish to start the day - and was worth catching.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Excellent!
0:39:36 > 0:39:41- This one can go back. It's best - to throw them in head first.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- The oxygen flows over the gills - and off they go.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Brilliant.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- It's my first bite of the day.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- This one - has been caught on the lure.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- I think there's a bit of Irish - in this lure.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- It's got the luck of the Irish.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- It's got the luck of the Irish.- - Yes, the luck of the Irish.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- They like the Celts.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- It's quite close to the boat - but very deep.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- Its behaviour is unlike every other - mackerel that we've caught.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- This one is a lot deeper.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21- It must be sulking.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23- It's starting to surface.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- I think it's a mackerel.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- I think it's a mackerel.- - No, it's round. I'm sure of it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- No, it's a mackerel.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34- No, it isn't.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- It's coming - and it's longer than a GT.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- It's a GT. A GT!
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Wehey! A GT!
0:40:46 > 0:40:47- High five! High five!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- High five! High five!- - Well done, Julian.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- It's my first GT.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- We've travelled far - to catch one of these.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Well done to that little green lure.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Well done to that little green lure.- - Yes, the green bait obviously works.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05- Here it is. It isn't a monster - but this is the giant trevally.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09- I've been wanting - to catch one for many years.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- It's excellent. - It has a head like a bull.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- There's so much power in that body.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- There's so much power in that body.- - It's a beautiful fish.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17- Look at those large dorsals.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Look at those large dorsals.- - Fantastic!
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Thank you, Mr GT. You're going back.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Well done, Julian. - That was fantastic. Fantastic!
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- Nobody realised - that a fish had taken this lure...
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- ..so we need to reel it in.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Still going, still going.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- You'll have a massive arm - when we go home.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- One arm like Popeye...
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- One arm like Popeye...- - ..and the other like Olive Oyl!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Or Pluto!
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Is this one going to be worth it?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- It's swimming around the boat...
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- ..and going from side to side - before coming to the surface.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- It looks like a big one.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14- Oh, yes. It's a big one.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- The Irish has done its job again.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- I'm trying to keep my balance - on the boat.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- This green lure has been amazing - this morning.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Rhys brought it - with him from Wales...
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- ..but it does the business - on the Great Barrier Reef.
0:42:33 > 0:42:39- It's about 28lbs. It's somewhere - between 26 and 30lbs.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Let's return it safely. In it goes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Oh, it just did a summersault.
0:42:46 > 0:42:51- The pelagic fish who live - in this cruel environment...
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- ..put up quite a fight.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59- After a few minutes, I was ready - to fight something substantial.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Oh, this one's quick!
0:43:06 > 0:43:07- Let's see what happens.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12- A shark is trying to steal - my Spanish mackerel.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15- It's exciting no matter the outcome.
0:43:15 > 0:43:20- It's fun even if the shark - steals your fish.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- It's a challenge - and this one has started swimming.
0:43:24 > 0:43:30- Darren is adjusting the boat - to make it easier for me...
0:43:30 > 0:43:32- ..but this shark is angry.
0:43:32 > 0:43:37- It was happy to have its food - but angry about being caught.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- It would be great to see it - no matter the outcome.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46- The natural world is very tough.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- It has everything. The entire - food chain is right in front of you.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56- There's the tiny fish or bait - that's taken by the mackerel...
0:43:56 > 0:44:01- ..and the shark is at the top of - the food chain and helping itself!
0:44:01 > 0:44:07- This is only a 30lb line - so I can't bully the fish too much.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10- That's it, that's it.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13- It's shaking its head - and isn't happy at all.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18- When the shark stops moving, - you have to get to work.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21- If the shark wants to go, - you let it go!
0:44:21 > 0:44:25- There's something in the water - so it's starting to surface.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- It might shoot back to the depths - when it sees the daylight.
0:44:30 > 0:44:35- When we're close, we remove the rod - from the butt pad...
0:44:35 > 0:44:37- ..to make it easier to manoeuvre.
0:44:37 > 0:44:43- It also helps Dan to lead the fish - around the boat.
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- It's a bronze.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48- You can see the bronze colour - on its back.
0:44:48 > 0:44:53- They grow up to 500lbs - and are very powerful creatures.
0:44:54 > 0:44:55- That's it.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57- That's it.- - Excellent, Jules.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02- When Dan touches the leader - it means it's a caught fish.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04- Fantastic. Thank you.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06- Fantastic. Thank you.- - Well done, Jules.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- It was quite big and massive bait!
0:45:10 > 0:45:12- You've caught your shark.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14- You've caught your shark.- - And he had his supper!
0:45:16 > 0:45:18- The weather was deteriorating...
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- ..but we had three successful days - of fishing...
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- ..and it was time to head for home.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31- We're heading back - to Cairns Harbour...
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- ..and the line from this rod - started screaming.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- We're not sure what it is. It isn't - behaving like a Spanish mackerel.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44- Wo-hoo!
0:45:45 > 0:45:47- Rock 'n roll!
0:45:47 > 0:45:50- It's lucky that the water's warm.
0:45:50 > 0:45:51- What is it?
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- What is it?- - What are you hoping for?
0:45:53 > 0:45:57- I'd be delighted - if it's a barracuda.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00- It's coming to the surface.
0:46:00 > 0:46:01- It's big, Rhys.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- It's big, Rhys.- - It's very big, Jules.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11- I think it's a mackerel.
0:46:14 > 0:46:16- Great job, Dan.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20- Woo-hoo-hoo!
0:46:21 > 0:46:25- It's a great fish to close - this visit to Queensland...
0:46:25 > 0:46:28- ..as we head back to Cairns Harbour.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- Thanks to Darren and Dan - for such a fantastic time.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33- Goodbye for now!
0:46:33 > 0:46:35- Goodbye for now!- - Ta-ra!
0:46:38 > 0:46:42- Next time, we visit the Top End - in the Northern Territory...
0:46:42 > 0:46:45- ..and its capital city of Darwin.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47- Hello to everyone in Wales.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50- Come on, boy.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52- Come on, boy.- - Heavens above!
0:47:16 > 0:47:19- This is what I came - to Australia to catch!
