0:18:23 > 0:18:28but it was only the courtesy bus for the country club.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31And of course, you never packed me clubs.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27'I know. The poor thing.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29'Well, next we have a Charlie on the line.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31'Yeah. G'day.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36'Yeah. This one's about my son. Let's call him... Slippers. Yep.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40'One day when he was about 14, I come in early from the milkin'.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43'I opened the door and there he was.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- 'Yeah. Buffin' the bazooka. - I'm sorry?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- 'Chokin' the goose. - Oh, well, thanks for that, Charlie.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52'Hammering the hamster, some might say.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55'Yes, thanks, Charlie. I think we've got it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59'Oh, you couldn't miss it. The kid's hung like a draught horse.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00'Thank you!'
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Well, this is interesting.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm not talking to you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09"The yellow-rumped pardalote, a rare bird indeed,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12"can occasionally be spotted foraging in this area."
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Pig!
0:26:13 > 0:26:16What?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- That was a bit rough. - I was just... Pig!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Thanks for stopping. I've been out here for ages.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Thought I was going to be out there all night.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49No worries.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Where are you headed?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56- To, er, Cape York. To go fishing. - Is that anywhere near Tamworth?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Well, Tamworth's on the way.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Cape York's on the very northern tip of Australia.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04Oh, cool.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09STARTS ENGINE
0:27:15 > 0:27:17So, how did you end up out here?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20My boyfriend was taking me to Tamworth. I'm a singer.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24And he cracked it and kicked me out. He's a real arsehole.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Why did he do that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Um, he wanted me to do things to him I didn't want to. And I told him so.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32And he begged, and I said no, and he begged some more
0:27:32 > 0:27:34and then he kicked me out.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Yep, sounds like an arsehole to me.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41So, how far's this Cape York?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's about 2,500km.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46When I was young, Dad promised we'd do it one day
0:27:46 > 0:27:48so we're doing it now.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50That's so great. I'm Jess.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- I'm Charlie. And this is Boots. - How you goin'?
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Charlie and Boots.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Pretty cool, eh?
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Oh, well, he's out.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15He's so cute.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17I suppose.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20Do you love him?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Well, yeah, he's my dad.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I mean, we've had our ups and downs but, er...
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I don't know, he's kind of all I've got now.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Well, there's my brother, but...
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Your mum?
0:28:38 > 0:28:42No, she...she died last month.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43That must be awful.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I don't know what I'd do if my mum died.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48I never got to meet my dad.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53You're not married?
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Oh, I was.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Mum and Dad were married for 45 years.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00He must miss her.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Here I am, I couldn't even manage to stay married for three years.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07What happened?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Uh... Therese, my wife...
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I don't know, I guess I was just never really what she needed.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18She was a city girl.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Mum and Dad tried to get her involved in the farm,
0:29:20 > 0:29:25but I told them to pull their head in and...
0:29:25 > 0:29:27and...with what happened...
0:29:27 > 0:29:29..er...
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Did you have any kids?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Yeah, a little boy. Ben.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41You know, I reckon you'll find someone else.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Yeah, I'm not really...
0:29:49 > 0:29:53So you live on the farm with your dad?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55No, my little brother runs it now.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Me and my wife moved away, so...
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Can you not go back?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03No.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I mean, I love the farm, don't get me wrong.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08But I don't know, things just didn't work out that way, I guess.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Plus, it wouldn't really be fair, I suppose, on my brother.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Which I know disappoints my dad.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Why are you called Boots?
0:30:23 > 0:30:26My mum was a real character.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29I mean, what you might call a free spirit.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32You know, she was into the arts and music,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35and one day in a moment of inspiration
0:30:35 > 0:30:37she decided to name me after her favourite singer.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Dad never really was crazy about the name
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- so he's always called me Boots. - Who was the singer?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45BOOTS CHUCKLES
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Dean Martin?- I wish.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55Fred Astaire?

0:31:03 > 0:31:04I'm not going to tell you.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Sorry about that one, son.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23OK, well, maybe you can drop me at a service station, then?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25We can take you the rest of the way in the morning.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- I really can't afford to pay... - No, don't worry about that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Me and Dad can get you a room, can't we, Dad?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Oh, sure. Not going to just drop you alongside the roadway.

0:48:44 > 0:48:45I don't know. Nothing, really.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50- What was her problem?- Dad!
0:48:50 > 0:48:54Well, you did everything you could do and...
0:48:54 > 0:48:58Yeah, well, when something happens like...
0:49:00 > 0:49:02..you know, what did happen,
0:49:02 > 0:49:05I don't know, people just react differently, I guess.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Yeah, well, it's for better or for worse, you know.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11You can't just then go off running around with...
0:49:11 > 0:49:13Dad, that's not fair. You weren't there.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15You wouldn't let us be.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21- She wants to get back together. - What?
0:49:22 > 0:49:23Do you want to?

0:49:28 > 0:49:30Would you like to?
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Nah, I can't.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39You were so lucky to have Mum.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Yeah, well, nothing's perfect.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46- What? - Every marriage has its problems.
0:49:48 > 0:49:49Are you saying you and Mum did?
0:49:53 > 0:49:55Do you remember Gavin O'Connor?
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- The school principal?- Uh-huh.- Yeah.
0:49:58 > 0:50:05Yeah, well, when you was a kid, your mum was sort of acting suspiciously,
0:50:05 > 0:50:09- staying out late at night and always going to meetings and...- Hmm.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12Anyway, one night, I followed her.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16And she went to Gavin's place.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18What?
0:50:18 > 0:50:19Just about killed me.
0:50:21 > 0:50:22Did you confront 'em?
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Nah.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28I was too scared of losing her.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32I never told anyone that.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Not long after that, Gavin moved to Sydney and...
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Nah, she loved you, Dad.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51I mean, she...she adored you.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Yeah, I know.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58I know.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20You kids were like that...
0:51:20 > 0:51:22especially you.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26You were a little bugger. You had to be everywhere first.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28You were always 10m out in front of us,
0:51:28 > 0:51:31running and skipping and tripping over things.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38Oh, you were a funny little bugger.
0:51:49 > 0:51:50You OK, mate?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02I'm going to go for a walk.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14You think you'll ever have more kids?
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Yeah. I think so.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22You should, you know.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26You can either let what happened...
0:52:27 > 0:52:30..beat you...or you can try and overcome it.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34Hmm. Yeah.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38You shouldn't wait too long.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Time waits for no man...
0:52:40 > 0:52:43and very few women.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Yeah, well, obviously I've gotta meet someone first.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Hmm? Yeah.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55That shouldn't be too hard.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Sleep tight. See you in the morning, son.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06Yeah. Good night, Dad.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22- What are you up to?- What?
0:53:22 > 0:53:24I don't know. You're up to something.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26Oh! I'm just having me breakfast.
0:53:26 > 0:53:28Yeah, right.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30Oh, excuse me, love.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35My son here, Boots, was just asking me
0:53:35 > 0:53:37if I thought you were married or not
0:53:37 > 0:53:39and I said to him, "Go ahead. Ask her yourself."
0:53:39 > 0:53:41Yes, I am. Sorry.
0:53:41 > 0:53:43Oh, told you.
0:53:43 > 0:53:47Aww! You'll find someone.
0:53:47 > 0:53:49Yeah, thanks.
0:53:51 > 0:53:52- THUD! - Oooh, what?
0:53:52 > 0:53:56- What?! What?!- Oh.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58Oh, excuse me, love.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Yes?
0:54:00 > 0:54:03My son Boots here, that strapping young fellow over there...
0:54:05 > 0:54:08- Oh, what's your pleasure, love? - Oh, just one of those.
0:54:08 > 0:54:09There you go.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Thanks, darl.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Oh, all part of the service.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16- Here's your change.- Thanks.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19And, um, this is our card.
0:54:19 > 0:54:24It's got the phone number on it... in case you need it.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Oh.
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Thanks.
0:54:32 > 0:54:36Look, Dad, all I'm saying is I don't need help with the ladies.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Well, we both know that's a load of rubbish.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41All right, well, put it this way - I certainly don't need YOUR help with the ladies.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43Hey, she gave you her phone number, didn't she?
0:54:43 > 0:54:45- Yeah, but I didn't ask for it. - That's what I'm for.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48No, Dad, that's not what you're here for.
0:54:48 > 0:54:51From now on, stay in the car when we stop to eat.
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Nah!
0:54:55 > 0:55:01So, it turns out I'm good with the ladies. Who knew?
0:55:05 > 0:55:06Eugh.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08You all right, Dad?
0:55:08 > 0:55:10Just get past this truck, son.
0:55:10 > 0:55:12HORN TOOTS
0:55:13 > 0:55:15HORN CONTINUES TOOTING
0:55:43 > 0:55:45- Dad?- (Boots.)
0:55:47 > 0:55:49G'day, Wes, boys.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52Dad?
0:55:52 > 0:55:55(Boots, here.)
0:55:55 > 0:55:56What the...?
0:56:00 > 0:56:01Quick.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04- G'day, mate.- G'day.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06Where will I find that great hunk of spunk you were with?
0:56:06 > 0:56:08My dad?
0:56:08 > 0:56:09Your dad? Yeah, must be.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15My dad? Now, let me think.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18I mean, he couldn't be far away.
0:56:18 > 0:56:21I mean, he was here, like, a minute ago.
0:56:22 > 0:56:24My dad?
0:56:27 > 0:56:30Hmm... Oh, hang on.
0:56:33 > 0:56:37Oh, here it is, found it - the cup we...
0:56:37 > 0:56:41Oh, hello, love.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44BOOTS AND CHARLIE LAUGH
0:56:44 > 0:56:45You're good with the ladies?
0:56:47 > 0:56:50Well, you know, I'm a dairy farmer but that was absurd.
0:56:50 > 0:56:51BOTH LAUGH
0:56:51 > 0:56:55You should have seen you, trying to bend in there like a koala bear
0:56:55 > 0:56:56trying to get in a matchbox.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59Good thinking, though, wasn't it?
0:56:59 > 0:57:02A foam cup, eh? She wouldn't have got hers in a foam cup.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04BOTH LAUGH
0:57:06 > 0:57:08- There you go, fellas. - Oh, thanks, love.
0:57:08 > 0:57:09Where are you heading?
0:57:09 > 0:57:13We're thinking about going this way up to Emerald
0:57:13 > 0:57:16- and then all the way up to the Cape. - Oh, no worries.
0:57:16 > 0:57:21Most people take the Roma road but my hubby, Clive - he's a sales rep -
0:57:21 > 0:57:23swears by the road straight north
0:57:23 > 0:57:27and then you cut across at a place they call Mongans Lane.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29That's about 100km north of here,
0:57:29 > 0:57:31then get on to the Emerald road from there.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34He reckons it saves about an hour and a half.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Sounds good to me. You know what they say about local knowledge!
0:57:40 > 0:57:42It's a good road?
0:57:42 > 0:57:43Yeah. Yeah.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47A bit of gravel, about 40km, but no traffic.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49No worries. Thanks for that.
0:58:49 > 0:58:51Beautiful country out this way, isn't it?
0:58:51 > 0:58:52Yeah.
0:59:00 > 0:59:02Which was the road she said to take?
0:59:05 > 0:59:07Actually, I think this is it coming up here, isn't it?
0:59:07 > 0:59:12Mongans Lane. This is it here.
0:59:34 > 0:59:35Wow! Look at that.
0:59:35 > 0:59:39The sky looks amazing.
0:59:39 > 0:59:40HISSING
0:59:40 > 0:59:42Bugger.
0:59:46 > 0:59:48It's not too bad. It's just a burst radiator hose.
0:59:48 > 0:59:50Can you fix it?
0:59:50 > 0:59:53No. I haven't got any tools.
0:59:53 > 0:59:54What do you expect?
0:59:54 > 0:59:58You set off on some harebrained bloody trip, half-cocked.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01I haven't got a spare radiator hose either.
1:00:01 > 1:00:02You're a bloody dickhead.
1:00:02 > 1:00:04You knew we were coming up here.
1:00:04 > 1:00:06You should have brought a spare.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08Well, it wasn't exactly a trip that I'd planned, Dad.
1:00:08 > 1:00:10Oh, bloody useless.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13What sort of an idiot comes up here without his tools?
1:00:13 > 1:00:17Me, Dad. Me. Is that what you want to hear?
1:00:17 > 1:00:19I mean, I'm not Graeme.
1:00:19 > 1:00:23I mean, I'm doing my best here, Dad, but I can't do everything.
1:00:23 > 1:00:25I don't know what you want.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32I want your mum back.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43Well, I can't do anything about that, Dad.
1:00:44 > 1:00:47I mean, the same as I couldn't do anything about Ben.
1:00:47 > 1:00:50I want to go home.
1:00:50 > 1:00:51To do what, Dad?
1:00:51 > 1:00:54What? Sit in the dark and feel sorry for yourself?
1:00:54 > 1:00:56Fuck, Dad! It wouldn't hurt to cry, you know.
1:00:57 > 1:01:00But you just cut yourself off.
1:01:02 > 1:01:05You did it... I mean, you did it when Ben died and you're doing it now.
1:01:05 > 1:01:09You went on and on to me with all this bullshit
1:01:09 > 1:01:12about, you know, "Don't let it destroy you."
1:01:12 > 1:01:14And what are you doing?
1:01:18 > 1:01:22You know, Dad, let's not pretend that I don't know about loss.
1:01:22 > 1:01:24Really!
1:01:24 > 1:01:27Dad, my heart nearly stopped when Ben drowned
1:01:27 > 1:01:32and I have struggled every day... I've got to tell you the truth, Dad.
1:01:32 > 1:01:34It is not a day that goes by that I...
1:01:34 > 1:01:37I mean, Mum was there when he died.
1:01:38 > 1:01:39I mean, how did that happen?
1:01:39 > 1:01:42I mean, she was looking after him.
1:01:42 > 1:01:45I mean, they were playing hide-and-seek, for God's sake.
1:01:47 > 1:01:52Your mum struggled with that... every bloody day since.
1:01:52 > 1:01:55I'd go to sleep at night
1:01:55 > 1:01:58and wake up to her crying her eyes out.
1:01:59 > 1:02:02I would have liked to cry with her too
1:02:02 > 1:02:05but someone has to say "Don't worry, love,"
1:02:05 > 1:02:08and, "You'll feel better tomorrow,"
1:02:08 > 1:02:11and, "It's God's will,"
1:02:11 > 1:02:14and whatever other pathetic bullshit I could come out with.
1:02:16 > 1:02:20You know, Therese, I mean, never forgave Mum for that,
1:02:20 > 1:02:23and I got to be honest, Dad - I wrestled with it too.
1:02:30 > 1:02:35And you know what really gets me, is that, I mean, despite all that,
1:02:35 > 1:02:38you know, I never got to tell Mum I still loved her.
1:02:41 > 1:02:43Oh, mate, she knew that.
1:02:43 > 1:02:46I promise you, she knew.
1:02:47 > 1:02:48(I need to cry.)
1:02:57 > 1:02:59I'll never forget the night I first met your mum.
1:03:01 > 1:03:05It was the footy club dance at the Allansford Hall.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09Oh, she was something. Took my breath away.
1:03:09 > 1:03:12She was the new schoolteacher in town then
1:03:12 > 1:03:15and every bloke in town was after her.
1:03:15 > 1:03:19I remember Gary Flood, Archie Witherspoon,
1:03:19 > 1:03:21Joey Twigg -
1:03:21 > 1:03:23in fact, the whole bloody football team
1:03:23 > 1:03:26was lined up waiting to get a dance with her.
1:03:27 > 1:03:29I thought to myself,
1:03:29 > 1:03:32"If I don't make a move now, I'm going to miss out."
1:03:32 > 1:03:37As luck happened, I spotted a gap in the pack,
1:03:37 > 1:03:42sidestepped my way through and asked her for a dance,
1:03:42 > 1:03:43and she said yes.

1:18:23 > 1:18:25"and it's a terrible mess.
1:18:25 > 1:18:28"I'm going to have to send you down there to straighten them out."
1:18:28 > 1:18:31And Jesus said, "My pleasure, Dad.

1:18:33 > 1:18:35"I'm going to have to send you as a human being.
1:18:35 > 1:18:37"You'll be mortal
1:18:37 > 1:18:40"and I'm afraid you're going to have to die for their sins."
1:18:40 > 1:18:45Jesus says, oh, you know, "OK, your wish is my command, " etc.
1:18:45 > 1:18:49He said, "Look, Son, the best thing I can do, though,
1:18:49 > 1:18:51"is I can give you a choice in how you're going to die.
1:18:51 > 1:18:53"You can either be crucified

1:19:07 > 1:19:08CHARLIE CRIES OUT COMICALLY
1:19:10 > 1:19:14- All right, another one. There's two nuns, they're in a car.- Oh, no!
1:19:14 > 1:19:16Yeah, they're in a car and this massive bat comes in
1:19:16 > 1:19:19and it's kind of like Satan.
1:19:19 > 1:19:21And it lands on the bonnet, foam and blood and fierce,
1:19:21 > 1:19:23kind of going, "Arggh!"
1:19:23 > 1:19:27On the bonnet - "Rarr!" On the bonnet, right?
1:19:27 > 1:19:30And one of the nuns says, "Quick, Maud, show him your cross."
1:19:30 > 1:19:33And she goes, "Oh, good idea," and she winds the window down
1:19:33 > 1:19:34and goes, "Get off the bonnet, you...!"
1:19:36 > 1:19:38There was a young man from McLeod

1:19:57 > 1:19:59That's not a limerick.
1:19:59 > 1:20:02It has to rhyme with McLeod cos the last line of the limerick
1:20:02 > 1:20:04is "Just like that, out loud."
1:20:04 > 1:20:06No. How can that be a limerick?
1:20:06 > 1:20:09A limerick has to have a certain rhythm, a count to it.
1:20:09 > 1:20:14It goes, "Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da..."
1:20:14 > 1:20:17Da-da-da! Bullshit! That's not a limerick.
1:20:17 > 1:20:20- Mine's a limerick. Yours is not a limerick.- It's not.
1:20:20 > 1:20:23A limerick's supposed to be funny. Mine's hilarious. Yours isn't.
1:20:23 > 1:20:25Limericks are an art form, an ancient art form from Ireland, OK?
1:20:25 > 1:20:27And I taught ya!
1:20:28 > 1:20:30Can I help you, boys?
1:20:30 > 1:20:32Yes, you can, love, as a matter of fact.
1:20:32 > 1:20:35You look to me like a woman of the world.
1:20:36 > 1:20:38There was a young lady from Bude...
1:20:38 > 1:20:40- Let it go! - Who got on a tram in the nude...
1:20:40 > 1:20:43No, there was a young man from McLeod
1:20:43 > 1:20:45Who was caressing a girl in the crowd...
1:20:45 > 1:20:48- No, that's a joke, not a limerick. - It is a limerick, Dad. - It's the "Girl in the nude."
1:20:48 > 1:20:50- And it's not a vicar. - It's always a vicar.
1:20:50 > 1:20:52- It's never a vicar. - Vicars are funny.
1:20:52 > 1:20:53- They ride round on bikes... - Look...
1:20:53 > 1:20:56- On bikes? You are off your trolley. - Look!- What's it got to do with a bike?
1:20:56 > 1:20:58Look, I'm not interested.
1:20:58 > 1:21:00It sounds disgusting.
1:21:00 > 1:21:03You're both old enough to know better - especially you.
1:21:03 > 1:21:07Now, if you want to order food, go ahead.
1:21:07 > 1:21:09Otherwise, you can leave.
1:21:17 > 1:21:19- Where are you blokes headin'? - Up to Cape York.
1:21:19 > 1:21:21We're going fishing off the tip of Australia.
1:21:21 > 1:21:23Not in this, you're not.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25Especially this time of the year.
1:21:25 > 1:21:27This won't even go close.
1:21:27 > 1:21:29Oh?
1:21:29 > 1:21:31Oh, well, um...
1:21:31 > 1:21:33.have to get a hold of a four-wheel drive.
1:21:33 > 1:21:35- Eh, Dad?- Yeah. Yeah, we can rent one.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Anywhere near here we can get one of those?
1:21:37 > 1:21:40Yep. Down at Cairns. No worries.
1:21:40 > 1:21:41Well, there you go.
1:21:41 > 1:21:44But unless it's got fins, I don't think it'll help ya.
1:21:44 > 1:21:46What do you mean?
1:21:46 > 1:21:48It's the wet season.
1:21:48 > 1:21:51River crossings are 30 feet deep this time of the year.
1:21:51 > 1:21:53Then there's the crocs.
1:21:55 > 1:21:57Bloody wet season.
1:22:02 > 1:22:04Mate, we did bloody well to get this far.
1:22:04 > 1:22:07We can still whip over to Port Douglas.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09I reckon the fishing there's great. Eh?
1:22:09 > 1:22:12Yeah, I know, Dad, but...
1:22:12 > 1:22:15you know, just once in my life it'd be nice to actually achieve
1:22:15 > 1:22:17something I've set out to do. You know what I mean?
1:22:26 > 1:22:28Does that thing work?
1:22:31 > 1:22:35- FLY BUZZES - I'm not going up in that.
1:22:35 > 1:22:37Oh, yes, you are.
1:22:37 > 1:22:40You've already dragged me 2,000 bloody miles.
1:22:40 > 1:22:42We're going through with this now.
1:22:42 > 1:22:44Does it even fly?
1:22:44 > 1:22:46Well, it did last time we dragged it out.
1:22:46 > 1:22:48Sorta.
1:22:50 > 1:22:52DOOR CREAKS
1:22:57 > 1:23:00I've gotta tell you, I'm not too crazy about flying.
1:23:00 > 1:23:01Especially in small planes.
1:23:01 > 1:23:05If you get scared, just close our eyes. That's what I do.
1:23:05 > 1:23:07Oh, fantastic.
1:23:07 > 1:23:11Well, you could always stay here. Look after the servo with Marge.
1:23:11 > 1:23:13Nup. Your missus scares me.
1:23:13 > 1:23:15Yeah, that makes two of us.
1:23:15 > 1:23:19Hey, where do you get your aviation fuel around here?
1:23:19 > 1:23:22Aviation fuel? That's just revenue raising for the government.
1:23:22 > 1:23:25I use what I've got in the pumps.
1:23:25 > 1:23:30- That works just as well? - Yeah. Well, seems to.
1:23:30 > 1:23:33That'll do it. Climb on in.
1:23:42 > 1:23:45- SIGHS - I'm glad you blokes turned up.
1:23:45 > 1:23:48I've been looking for an excuse to see if the old girl
1:23:48 > 1:23:52will still get off the ground with a big load like this.
1:23:53 > 1:23:55SIGHS
1:24:01 > 1:24:03ENGINE PURRS
1:24:03 > 1:24:07Mate, you know, I'm really glad you talked me into this trip.
1:24:13 > 1:24:14Here's the captain.
1:24:14 > 1:24:16Yeah, well...
1:24:18 > 1:24:21Well, she's started. That's always a good sign.
1:24:52 > 1:24:54All tied in?
1:24:54 > 1:24:56- Yep.- Sort of.
1:24:56 > 1:24:58OK.
1:25:06 > 1:25:08Ah, shit!
1:25:08 > 1:25:10Are they cows up there on the runway?
1:25:10 > 1:25:12Not mine, the neighbours'.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14I keep forgetting to fix that bloody fence.
1:25:14 > 1:25:17They look like Brahmas. Good stock.
1:25:17 > 1:25:20Shouldn't we be pulling up? Can we pull up, pull up?!
1:25:20 > 1:25:22COWS BELLOW
1:25:22 > 1:25:23Oh, shit!
1:25:27 > 1:25:29That was a bit of fun.
1:25:39 > 1:25:40Look at that, fellas.
1:25:40 > 1:25:42Atherton Tablelands.
1:25:44 > 1:25:46Home of agriculture, bananas,
1:25:46 > 1:25:48pineapples...
1:25:48 > 1:25:50Oh, fuck me! Not you too.
1:25:50 > 1:25:52He's bad enough.
1:25:56 > 1:25:58You get her up very often?
1:25:58 > 1:25:59Nah.
1:25:59 > 1:26:01Haven't been flying much lately.
1:26:01 > 1:26:04Due to the fact that the carby's a bit dodgy.
1:26:04 > 1:26:07How long's this going to take?
1:26:07 > 1:26:09Oh, dunno.
1:26:09 > 1:26:12Two...three hours?
1:26:14 > 1:26:16Hope you had a pee before we left.
1:26:16 > 1:26:19You do know how to find it, yeah?
1:26:19 > 1:26:23I've flown to Cape York dozens of times.
1:26:23 > 1:26:25Never as the pilot, though.
1:26:25 > 1:26:29Now, is the ocean meant to be on our left or our right?
1:26:29 > 1:26:31Right!
1:26:31 > 1:26:34Oh, well. No worries, then.
1:26:36 > 1:26:39Mate, this thing, can you do aerobatics in this?
1:26:39 > 1:26:41Nah, it's not built for it.
1:26:41 > 1:26:44I went up with a crop-duster pilot once.
1:26:44 > 1:26:47And he done one of those stall drops. Geez, it was fun.
1:26:47 > 1:26:48I can do a stall!
1:26:52 > 1:26:54Thing is not to panic
1:26:54 > 1:26:57just because the ground's coming up at 200 miles an hour.
1:26:57 > 1:27:01See that, Boots? That's the beautiful Daintree forest.
1:27:01 > 1:27:03Amazing, isn't it?
1:27:03 > 1:27:07Just gently...pull it back.
1:27:14 > 1:27:17Oh, that was fun!
1:27:18 > 1:27:20Do you want to have a try?
1:27:20 > 1:27:22Oh, me? Ohh.
1:27:24 > 1:27:26Uh, I'd better not.
1:27:27 > 1:27:29Look at that.
1:27:31 > 1:27:32Great Barrier Reef.
1:27:33 > 1:27:36One of the true wonders of the world.
1:27:40 > 1:27:42It really is something, isn't it?
1:27:44 > 1:27:46Wow.
1:28:00 > 1:28:01I hope that's broken.
1:28:07 > 1:28:08See that?
1:28:10 > 1:28:11You can see both coastlines.
1:28:11 > 1:28:15We've almost run out of Australia.
1:28:16 > 1:28:18There she is.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21So, that's Cape York, eh?
1:28:24 > 1:28:26- Where's the airstrip?- Airstrip?
1:28:26 > 1:28:28I'll chuck her down on the beach.
1:28:30 > 1:28:32- Does that work?- No worries.
1:28:32 > 1:28:36As my old mate Bill used to say,
1:28:36 > 1:28:40"Any landing you can walk away from's a good landing."
1:28:41 > 1:28:43God rest his soul.
1:28:44 > 1:28:46LAUGHS
1:29:08 > 1:29:11- You got everything? - Yeah, that's the lot, mate. Can't thank you enough, Roly.
1:29:11 > 1:29:13- No worries.- Yeah, thanks, mate.
1:29:13 > 1:29:16- I'll be back in a few days. - Sounds good.
1:29:16 > 1:29:19Well, better get goin' before the sun disappears.
1:29:21 > 1:29:23I hope I can find me way back.
1:29:25 > 1:29:26CHUCKLES

1:31:04 > 1:31:06Ahhh.
1:31:09 > 1:31:15I... I've been thinkin' about buying old Tommy Noonan's farm.
1:31:17 > 1:31:20Of course I'd...
1:31:20 > 1:31:22I'd need someone to help me run it.
1:31:28 > 1:31:33# ...For standin' in your heart Is where I want to be... #
1:31:33 > 1:31:35Photo.
1:31:37 > 1:31:38For the fridge.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02There was a young man from Bombay...
1:32:02 > 1:32:05Who caught a slow boat to China one day.
1:32:05 > 1:32:07He was tied to the tiller...
1:32:07 > 1:32:09By a sex-crazed gorilla...
1:32:09 > 1:32:12BOTH: "And China's a long way away."
1:32:13 > 1:32:14Here we go.
1:32:23 > 1:32:31# ..But I may as well Try and catch the wind. #
1:34:15 > 1:34:17She's a big bridge, isn't she, Dad?
1:34:17 > 1:34:19Yep.
1:34:21 > 1:34:22Imagine having to paint the bastard.
