Speaker 1: Live from Calcooley.
Speaker 2: This is Paul Murray live out town.
Speaker 3: Can I say you welcome to Westerners straight to cal Gooley.
Speaker 4: Can I how are we?
Speaker 1: We've been Hi?
Speaker 5: Love it.
Speaker 6: Cold country has been awesome to us this weekend and
Speaker 6: we are having.
Speaker 4: The best time of our lives.
Speaker 1: We've had an awesome time here. I continue. Our experience
Speaker 1: in Cawgooley has.
Speaker 4: Been one that has taken us to all different places.
Speaker 4: Lots of fun tourist stuff to see around the place.
Speaker 4: The countryside is phenomenal. With that bloke is the best
Speaker 4: tourism guide I've seen in all the years we've done it.
Speaker 4: He's rock and roll and we'll get to all in
Speaker 4: a moment or two's time. Like al legend Kevin Bloody
Speaker 4: Wilson my friends KBW.
Speaker 6: Got on your ripping ow gooy Native.
Speaker 1: He's on the show tonight. Looking forward to this.
Speaker 4: We'll get the celebrating Kowgooley, which is a magnificent part
Speaker 4: of the world. Honestly, you've got to come and visit.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter when the weather will be fine. The
Speaker 4: people are fantastic and there is so much to see.
Speaker 4: This was the sunset that was here a bit earlier.
Speaker 4: Tonight it is absolutely ripping, okay mate, And anytime you
Speaker 4: get outside and have a chance to go a little
Speaker 4: further out, amazing, stargazing, just beautiful country. All right, let
Speaker 4: us talk about politics, because you may notice we have
Speaker 4: an election. By this time next week we will know
Speaker 4: who has either been re elected for the next three
Speaker 4: years or a new broom. Are you looking forward to
Speaker 4: a reelection or a new broom? Room boo ons, they're saying,
Speaker 4: Albert boo Earns. All right, well, correct, there are just
Speaker 4: six days until the federal election, and an extraordinary number
Speaker 4: of people have already voted. It is almost three million
Speaker 4: people who have already voted. Early voting again kicks up
Speaker 4: again tomorrow. There's about two point four million people who
Speaker 4: have already cast their votes. I say go and do
Speaker 4: it tomorrow. Why, because no one's going to change your mind.
Speaker 4: So let's try to change the country with your vote.
Speaker 4: And remember what you do with your preferences really matters.
Speaker 4: Five hundred thousand postal votes have already been returned. There's
Speaker 4: another two and a half million outstanding right now. The
Speaker 4: latest polls they show that maybe things a bottomed out
Speaker 4: when it comes to the Liberal Party slide. But if
Speaker 4: the polls are right, there will be a reelection of
Speaker 4: the Albanezi government in just a few days time. The
Speaker 4: news pole which is dropped in the Australian newspaper will
Speaker 4: be front page news tomorrow. But I can tell you
Speaker 4: tonight that it is going to be most likely a
Speaker 4: hung parliament, but not by much. They're closing in on
Speaker 4: a potential majority of seventy six seats the Labor Party
Speaker 4: fifty two to the coalition's forty eight. Worth noting here
Speaker 4: the one nation vote and I've talked about this how
Speaker 4: many days, how many weeks, how many months, and now
Speaker 4: how many years. It is now at eight percent. Paul
Speaker 4: And in fact was here in Koguli over the weekend.
Speaker 4: She was at the Nullaboar muster, which was four hours
Speaker 4: up the road. I can tell you that is one
Speaker 4: of the reasons why maybe the pubs were slightly quiet
Speaker 4: a last night, because lots of people were there.
Speaker 1: And having a good time.
Speaker 4: Well, the Pauline Hanson Party is now eight percent now
Speaker 4: they were five percent of the last election, three points
Speaker 4: up and with her being very clear about preferencing that
Speaker 4: if you vote one nation preference, the LNP that is
Speaker 4: what could be the game changer and the game savor
Speaker 4: from the coalition, not just in terms of whether they
Speaker 4: keep the seats they have, whether they go backwards, but
Speaker 4: where they are able to go forwards. Now that national
Speaker 4: number is going to be different in Western Australia where
Speaker 4: the Upper House has got a one nation member, in
Speaker 4: South Australia where the Upper House has a one nation member, Victoria,
Speaker 4: New South Wales, Queensland, all of those factors slightly higher,
Speaker 4: slightly lower. But you can't help but see the Labor
Speaker 4: Party is two points higher than where they were at
Speaker 4: the last federal election. The LMP is about where it
Speaker 4: was at the last election. And here's the bit that
Speaker 4: if you're a hardcore team Blue supporter is not going
Speaker 4: to fill you with much confidence. But you know we
Speaker 4: don't do happy talk. I'll tell you what's going on,
Speaker 4: so nobody wakes up.
Speaker 1: Surprised.
Speaker 4: News Poll did a survey of people about whether the
Speaker 4: government deserves to be re elected or whether the opposition
Speaker 4: is ready to govern. Just thirty nine percent of people
Speaker 4: in Australia believe the government deserves to be re elected,
Speaker 4: but sixty two percent are unconvinced that the opposition is
Speaker 4: ready to govern. As for the bookies, the numbers get
Speaker 4: tighter now. So if you think there is an upset
Speaker 4: in the offering, better responsibly. But six dollars is what
Speaker 4: the Coalition is paying in and around six dollars on sportsback,
Speaker 4: lab Brokes and at the tab. For his part, Peter
Speaker 4: Dutton seems to have turned a corner and decided, bug.
Speaker 1: Of this, I'm going all in now.
Speaker 4: Yes, a significant number of people have already voted, more
Speaker 4: people have not. There is apparently about twenty percent of
Speaker 4: people that will make their decisions in the last few days.
Speaker 4: And Peter Dutton says, like we say on this show,
Speaker 4: nothing is inevitable.
Speaker 1: In fact, you're going to decide, not the media.
Speaker 7: We are in the fight of our lives the course
Speaker 7: of the next six days. I have no doubt in
Speaker 7: my mind that we can win this election. Forget about
Speaker 7: what you've been told by the ABC and the Guardian
Speaker 7: and the other hate media.
Speaker 1: Forget about that.
Speaker 4: How Good's ripping into the Guardian the Turnbull Times. Oh
Speaker 4: didn't they dislike that good? Bug of them? All right? Now,
Speaker 4: As for the Prime Minister, he thinks that this tougher
Speaker 4: tone from Pety Dutton, of course, means cue the Uga
Speaker 4: booga music.
Speaker 8: A choice between building Australia's future or a darker, meaner,
Speaker 8: nastier reboot of the past, A choice between going forwards
Speaker 8: or getting dragged backwards.
Speaker 4: Do you think that's what the opposition is pushing in
Speaker 4: this election, a darker, meaner version of the past. Or
Speaker 4: they just want to get rid of a government that
Speaker 4: hasn't done great in the past three years? Right, correct?
Speaker 4: Take the pain away, all right? I like a good
Speaker 4: cowgolly crowd. I was promised to a fire up and
Speaker 4: I want to get it. And if you're not allowed enough,
Speaker 4: we're going into the gold bar. And I know a
Speaker 4: you're going to are up in there. That's the joint
Speaker 4: you go to at the very end of the night.
Speaker 4: I've been here for a couple of nights and I
Speaker 4: know that. And they've got sticky feet to prove it.
Speaker 4: All right, it's said sticky shoe anyway, You get the point.
Speaker 4: One of the things that has changed during this election,
Speaker 4: and we know it has changed polling wise during the
Speaker 4: election is the question of cost of living. Cost of
Speaker 4: living number one issue, But who has the better solution
Speaker 4: to it? Have look at this This is the News
Speaker 4: poll and some of the data behind it. It shows
Speaker 4: that in the past month or so, massive swing towards
Speaker 4: the Labor Party, and you can see that they're back
Speaker 4: to where they were at the start of the voice
Speaker 4: here in February twenty twenty three. Now, my Labor friends,
Speaker 4: and believe it or not, there is one or two
Speaker 4: who still talk to me. They just don't believe that
Speaker 4: the swing is this big because, put simply, why would
Speaker 4: you think one thing for two years and then magically
Speaker 4: change your.
Speaker 1: View in just a few weeks.
Speaker 4: So obviously, if we're sitting here next week and that's
Speaker 4: what all the numbers are, well, then yet all of
Speaker 4: that was right.
Speaker 1: But those huge spikes may be an area.
Speaker 4: Worth talking about if again you're trying to work out
Speaker 4: why one team seems to be going forward while another
Speaker 4: has either stagnated or has gone back in the past
Speaker 4: few months. The most popular policy at this election, according
Speaker 4: to the News poll, is the halving of the fuel tax.
Speaker 4: I think in a place like Kalgoula, you'd like to
Speaker 4: have the fuel tax, right, especially when bugger flying to Perth,
Speaker 4: I'll drive six hours.
Speaker 1: Right, That's going to matter, Okay, particularly in big areas.
Speaker 4: But have a look here where you can see huge
Speaker 4: number of people. This is the blue or the light
Speaker 4: blue that shows support for a policy. Darker the colors,
Speaker 4: the less support there has that forty nine plus twenty
Speaker 4: seven is the most popular policy in the election. But
Speaker 4: you can see the new killer and once you start
Speaker 4: to get into that, people start to fire up. Let's
Speaker 4: compare that to where the Labour Party is and because
Speaker 4: basically all of their policies are firing money canonate people,
Speaker 4: they don't have the same negatives to all of them.
Speaker 4: Hence why the job for the opposition and Peter Duttan
Speaker 4: is on our show Tuesday night, don't forget ask me anything,
Speaker 4: and we've got questions from all.
Speaker 1: Over the country.
Speaker 4: We're going to see plenty of wonderful, smiling faces of
Speaker 4: the Sky News audience being able to do one of
Speaker 4: the biggest shows we've ever done in our election coverages
Speaker 4: over all of those years, will be here on Tuesday night.
Speaker 4: Is they've got lots of questions, and they've got lots
Speaker 4: of questions that really are not focused on where the
Speaker 4: governments tried to change your conversation for the past couple
Speaker 4: of weeks. So again the election comes down to has
Speaker 4: Labor been able to change the conversation in the past
Speaker 4: few weeks or are Australians where they have been for the.
Speaker 1: Past couple of years.
Speaker 4: Over on Channel seven, the final leader's debate has just
Speaker 4: finished off and as always, there are five things that
Speaker 4: I have to tell you about an election debate. Now,
Speaker 4: I don't just say this because I like the People's
Speaker 4: Forum where Sky News and obviously we're not seven, we're
Speaker 4: not nine. But my goodness, it's not a freaking game show. Okay,
Speaker 4: I get it. Detail is boring, the grains of sand
Speaker 4: on the beaches at times a little bit complicated, but
Speaker 4: the idea of basically grunts or cuddles being the way.
Speaker 1: That you should argue for the future of the country.
Speaker 4: You had an hour of television tread it more sea Seriously,
Speaker 4: I say that because they decided when they speakers were talking.
Speaker 1: They often have.
Speaker 4: Only about a minute and like any of us can
Speaker 4: say anything mildly complicated about what our plans are for
Speaker 4: the next month, let alone our actual ideas for the
Speaker 4: country and the multifaceted way they work to do it
Speaker 4: in a month. But as the minute was closing down,
Speaker 4: not only is the clock there, so eventually your eye
Speaker 4: starts not paying attention to what's being said on either side.
Speaker 4: But they had music underneath it to make it seem
Speaker 4: like a game show.
Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 7: Look, massive spending has led to inflation staying higher for
Speaker 7: longer and under this government, if they're re elected with
Speaker 7: the Greens, more spending will mean higher interest rates and
Speaker 7: that will be devastating for homeowners to right across the economy.
Speaker 8: Now you our Australian values and will build Australia's future.
Speaker 8: And we know the impact that that has on the
Speaker 8: Australian people.
Speaker 7: Is to fix up the energy crisis because that's what's
Speaker 7: driven up the cost of food by thirty percent.
Speaker 1: It's driven up the.
Speaker 7: Cost of everything across the economy and that has to be.
Speaker 4: The real I think, when you think about it, that's
Speaker 4: really annoying. And obviously the leaders had it in their
Speaker 4: head as well. So think about this all right, as
Speaker 4: a person who is lucky enough I can't claim can't dance,
Speaker 4: is able to think on the top of my head
Speaker 4: about all sorts of complicated pieces of information. Again my
Speaker 4: only superpower, right, But if you started to introduce somebody
Speaker 4: talking in my ear, which sometimes happens, or you introduce music,
Speaker 4: you're going to start to you start to pay attention
Speaker 4: to the clock. So I understand that for a lot
Speaker 4: of people that don't pay as much attention as you
Speaker 4: guys do in the room and people watching at home.
Speaker 4: But surely there's a midpoint between me banging on for
Speaker 4: thirty five.
Speaker 1: Minutes about the little data that.
Speaker 4: Comes here and there all the sixty seconds music playing
Speaker 4: up stuff.
Speaker 1: I thought it was quite strange, all right. Number two
Speaker 1: Dutton turned up.
Speaker 4: Peter Dutton clearly won the debate, and this will not
Speaker 4: be one of those fifty to fifty calls.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: The only people that are going to say that Albo
Speaker 4: won the debate are people who are going to already
Speaker 4: thought that he won the debate before it took place. Now,
Speaker 4: you could be a labor supporter, but you cannot watch
Speaker 4: the past hour of television and conclude that Dutton didn't
Speaker 4: come prepared and he hit very hard. Now that will
Speaker 4: of course be interpreted by the love media or the hate.
Speaker 1: Media, as he says, as the nasty turn to the past.
Speaker 4: I think people just want to see some fight, right,
Speaker 4: because we're tired of the PMBs, We're tired of the
Speaker 4: media trying to change the subject. So sometimes you've got
Speaker 4: to go a little bit loud, to go up and
Speaker 4: over the top of the gatekeepers. Remember, majority of people
Speaker 4: have not voted. The polls say one thing. The book
Speaker 4: he say one thing. If that's the case, then their
Speaker 4: science works. But it's up to you to have the
Speaker 4: conversations with your family members. It's up to you to
Speaker 4: decide how this election goes. Not do what he is
Speaker 4: expected or what you imagine your neighbor to be doing. Remember,
Speaker 4: you get the chance to decide whether it's three more
Speaker 4: years of the same or the joint change's course. As
Speaker 4: for the Prime Minister, surprise, surprise, same old scares of
Speaker 4: everything from work from home to cutting public servants. But
Speaker 4: let's get to the number four. In the things that
Speaker 4: I've noticed here in the debate, many of the questions
Speaker 4: were more so sort of empty statements than any kind
Speaker 4: of tight or hard question. In fact, this is a
Speaker 4: little example of what was being asked of the leaders.
Speaker 9: What will you do from Sunday to make their lives easier?
Speaker 9: What does the Australian dream look like today? For an
Speaker 9: average Australian in the property market. Mister Dutton, you're promising
Speaker 9: nuclear energy in ten years. Mister Albanezy, you're back in
Speaker 9: green energy. Why do you think your plan is best?
Speaker 9: To keep the lights on, mister Dutton.
Speaker 4: But it did start to get specific and the specific
Speaker 4: question that was asked by Mark Riley and up the
Speaker 4: moment of the debate and potentially a turning point in
Speaker 4: the election. I know that means I'm putting a lot
Speaker 4: of weight on it, but this was the question and Cargooley,
Speaker 4: if you have an opinion, feel free to cheerboo or
Speaker 4: say what you think after this question.
Speaker 9: Mister Dutton as Prime minister, we know you won't stand
Speaker 9: in front of the indigenous flag. Will you have Welcome
Speaker 9: to country ceremonies where you have smoking ceremonies? Will you
Speaker 9: acknowledge the traditional owners at your official events?
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a big election issue?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, guess what Peter Dutton decided to use the
Speaker 4: moment where she firstly explained that the fakeness of that
Speaker 4: question that you refused this none. I'm going to stay
Speaker 4: in front of the Australian flag because of the Australian flag
Speaker 4: is the.
Speaker 1: One symbol for all people. And then he went there.
Speaker 4: He went there and said that there have been too
Speaker 4: many ceremonies when it comes to welcome to country, that
Speaker 4: it's something that should only be kept for speed occasions,
Speaker 4: not the opening of an envelope, not the start of
Speaker 4: a meeting, not the start of a football game. You
Speaker 4: agree or you like an I apologize we didn't open
Speaker 4: tonight's program with that.
Speaker 1: I know my crowd. Though I know my crowd.
Speaker 4: This will be a big part of the news and
Speaker 4: a little later, if I get the chance, I'll show you.
Speaker 4: Otherwise this will be the talking point of the next
Speaker 4: few days. So those are the five things. All right,
Speaker 4: Politics done, Let's celebrate Calgoley. We're happy to be here
Speaker 4: and there's lots to tell you about this incredible part
Speaker 4: of Australia. Look, if you're happen to be driving from
Speaker 4: Perth across the country, you'll be at six hour drive,
Speaker 4: otherwise about an hour in and it is a magical
Speaker 4: part of Australia, one that is famous for its goal.
Speaker 4: It's the heart and soul for Australia's gold mining industry.
Speaker 4: The super Pit is a phenomenal It's this massive gold
Speaker 4: mine where the trucks take an hour to get from
Speaker 4: the top of the bottom. It's like four k's across
Speaker 4: and five k's wide.
Speaker 1: It is amazing. We're going to have a look at
Speaker 1: that in a second.
Speaker 4: As for beautiful Cowgooley, there's twenty nine thousand, three hundred
Speaker 4: and six people who live here, and occasional topless waitresses
Speaker 4: about another two hundred and fifty, but we don't count
Speaker 4: them in the census thirty four. I'm just getting the haircut.
Speaker 1: Thirty four very specific local reference.
Speaker 4: Thirty four is the media range here and the most
Speaker 4: frequent country of birth outside of Australia is New Zealand.
Speaker 4: Any kiwis in the room tonight, Cura all right? As
Speaker 4: did I get it right?
Speaker 1: Loose? Good? She's like our live in New Zealand here
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 4: Well, we had an opportunity to be able to look around,
Speaker 4: to see things from the air, but also to introduce
Speaker 4: you to Alan.
Speaker 1: Alan is a tour guide.
Speaker 4: This bloke, like I know, there's a mayor and MPs
Speaker 4: and we're going to get them all on. But this
Speaker 4: guy find a way to make this bloke citizen in
Speaker 4: the year every year, because not only was he a
Speaker 4: great tour guide. I reckon he's a great TV talent
Speaker 4: as well. Our boss is paying attention. Let's give him
Speaker 4: a show once a week.
Speaker 1: More. In a second, here we go. Cagooley's on the
Speaker 1: edge of the desert. That's the outback of Australia.
Speaker 4: And one of the highlights of Calgooley is something that
Speaker 4: has made a lot of people a lot of money
Speaker 4: over a long time. Gold Baby. This is gold country
Speaker 4: and this is the super pit. Kilometers this way, kilometers
Speaker 4: that way, and it's got at least another twenty years
Speaker 4: of life in it. It takes what about an hour
Speaker 4: to drive one of these trucks from the top to
Speaker 4: the bottom. And the bloke is going to show us
Speaker 4: around this joint is a guy called Alan. He's the
Speaker 4: best tour guide I've.
Speaker 2: Ever ever seen.
Speaker 1: Sixty three million ounces.
Speaker 10: Of gold twice as much to come out, and the
Speaker 10: already taken out all right.
Speaker 1: To your match.
Speaker 4: It's about five thousand ounce now, yeah, not always, and.
Speaker 10: At what it does cost them. It costs them one thousand,
Speaker 10: six hundred and forty dollars an ounce to put it
Speaker 10: into gold bar right, work that out, So they're making lots.
Speaker 4: Of money they're supposed to be hired by now, but no, no,
Speaker 4: he loves a joint so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going to tell you everything he knows. Let's
Speaker 1: start here right.
Speaker 10: This is the bucket off the big shovel at the
Speaker 10: scoop seventy ton of one scoop yep. It's worth one
Speaker 10: point two million dollars and it loads a dump truck
Speaker 10: every four minutes. The diger has cost about one eighteen
Speaker 10: point five million dollars just for the digger. So that
Speaker 10: operates in the pit fall day, twenty four hours a day,
Speaker 10: seven days a week, non stop.
Speaker 4: Everything's big in Western Australia.
Speaker 10: This superpt is owned by Norman Star. There's twelve hundred
Speaker 10: workers here and you must reside in Calgildy to work here.
Speaker 10: They don't like fly and fly out. As keeps the
Speaker 10: town going, keeps it together. And it's about forty three
Speaker 10: dump trucks going up and down the present in the
Speaker 10: pet by twenty twenty seven that it should be about seventy.
Speaker 4: Okay, up, we've spent the day with the Gold Country
Speaker 4: under our faith. What does it look like from the sky?
Speaker 11: So the supplicated itself right now is about six hundred
Speaker 11: meters seven hundred meters deep in the ground. At the moment,
Speaker 11: we are about five hundred and fifty meters above in
Speaker 11: the air.
Speaker 1: So the hole in the ground is deeper than we
Speaker 1: are above in right now. Yes, we are half we
Speaker 1: are we're half okay in the sky and.
Speaker 4: This is more than half a kay into the dirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we were just down there where alf. You
Speaker 1: have to do this.
Speaker 4: You have to see the colors, you have to feel
Speaker 4: the sky, you have to see forever. This is a
Speaker 4: spectacular way, the best way to see at back Australia.
Speaker 1: Seven the sky.
Speaker 11: Who are flying us?
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting that most of the telemetry
Speaker 4: showed the plane was flying like this for most of
Speaker 4: the time while I was sitting on the back. But
Speaker 4: there he goes you eventually was able to constantly get
Speaker 4: it back a nice and level because she had some
Speaker 4: brother large cargo. All right, Three people who know this
Speaker 4: place like the back of their hand and have been
Speaker 4: chosen by the locals to represent it. Let's introduce you
Speaker 4: to Rick Wilson is the local federal MP for O'Connor.
Speaker 4: Kirsty Dellu's the Dippitty mayor here in Calgooley and Glenn
Speaker 4: Wilson is the mayor one and all.
Speaker 1: Hello, we love it to be here.
Speaker 4: Now, Glenn, I swore there was a bloke who looked
Speaker 4: very close to you that was singing across the road.
Speaker 1: You know, no moonlighting last night.
Speaker 4: You didn't put on a special mask, because I swear
Speaker 4: that was you belting out their hits, probably about.
Speaker 12: Twelve years ago, not so much in recent time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Right, that's a good good gear here, all right, this area.
Speaker 1: Is a place to represent.
Speaker 4: The wonderful thing is they've got a wonderful BS detector
Speaker 4: and they're all straight shooters, so nobody's going to hold back,
Speaker 4: and they're all going to tell you what they think.
Speaker 4: What do you think they're most proud of about.
Speaker 12: I think it's our resilience and the way that we
Speaker 12: go about things here in Calgarli Boulder, and I notice
Speaker 12: that you haven't mentioned Boulder too much. Boulder is also
Speaker 12: part of Kowgouli, So I just want to throw as well,
Speaker 12: thank you.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: You get the good points there, We go to that.
Speaker 1: But it's also I'm not running for enda. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to explain to the rest of it, you know, Kagoli
Speaker 1: Boulder Bolder.
Speaker 2: It's the way that people treat each other.
Speaker 12: It's the way that I guess anyone in the community
Speaker 12: who's feeling things a little bit tough, they get their
Speaker 12: arms wrapped around them by the rest of the community.
Speaker 12: We're very resilient, we look after each other and we've
Speaker 12: got a really strong makeshif here.
Speaker 4: So Rick, when you go to Canberra, you've got all
Speaker 4: sorts of people who have all sorts of opinions about
Speaker 4: things like mining, but also they're in very different settings.
Speaker 1: I mean this area Cagouli Boulder is very different, very.
Speaker 4: Sparse, but also you know it has has all of
Speaker 4: the metropolitan facilities that any regional center does. But it
Speaker 4: must be fun to come up against some of these
Speaker 4: in the city MPs who are winging that they've got
Speaker 4: to go. Oh the traffic, it's twenty minutes.
Speaker 13: Just how big is your electric It's one point one
Speaker 13: million square Alongnor's Paul.
Speaker 2: But Kagoley is a very special part of it.
Speaker 13: And we do produce across the gold fields around fifteen
Speaker 13: billion dollars worth of wealth for this nation. And I'm
Speaker 13: very proud to represent the people that work here. And
Speaker 13: as Glenn said, they're very resilient, very tough, and there
Speaker 13: certainly no bs out here.
Speaker 4: Now obviously you're in the middle of an election right
Speaker 4: now and we hear MPs or Canada's talking about door
Speaker 4: knocking when you've got people with big blocks of land,
Speaker 4: are you literally just choppering from one.
Speaker 1: Joint to another to knock on the door?
Speaker 13: No choppers, But yeah, I spend a favot of time
Speaker 13: on the road. But it's the communities are very very supportive,
Speaker 13: and it's they're very discreet. So you turn up in
Speaker 13: a community, they know you there, they appreciate you turning up.
Speaker 13: And certainly Cawgoli is one of the place so I
Speaker 13: enjoy spending a lot of.
Speaker 4: Time And Kirsty, what's it like again the honesty of
Speaker 4: the people. And you've got the people that have been
Speaker 4: here their whole lives or people that have just starting
Speaker 4: a new version of their life here. How do you
Speaker 4: personally try to balance all of those different interests at times?
Speaker 14: There's so much to do in Kalgarley, Paul. The diversity
Speaker 14: here is just amazing. I myself came here twenty seven
Speaker 14: years ago, so I'm still not considered local.
Speaker 1: I love that I love that everywhere.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter whether it's Lonnie or whether it's Cans
Speaker 4: people or say the same thing.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I was embraced back all those years ago
Speaker 14: and still now today. I'm involved in hockey, football, golf,
Speaker 14: all of the sporting places and the business community around
Speaker 14: town also now on council, So the community there to
Speaker 14: support you. They really do let you know that you're
Speaker 14: either doing a great job and they also let you
Speaker 14: know when things are not going how they should.
Speaker 1: We are a week out from an election. But also
Speaker 1: this is an area that produces so much wealth for
Speaker 1: the rest of the country and so much product for
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. What do you need.
Speaker 4: What's sort of stuff that Perth and Camber needs to
Speaker 4: pay just a little bit more attention.
Speaker 12: We need power, We need water to critical pieces of
Speaker 12: infrastructure that will better facilitate bigger developments here in the
Speaker 12: city and for the greater goldfields.
Speaker 2: At the same.
Speaker 12: Time, our pipeline from Perth can only take so much.
Speaker 12: We're relying on an umbilical cord of five hundred and
Speaker 12: six hundred kilometers for our power. We need that resilience
Speaker 12: in our region and we also need to have that
Speaker 12: to build capability within our city and to grow it.
Speaker 12: At the same time, as a local government, we went
Speaker 12: down a path to enable rare Earth's processing here in
Speaker 12: the city of Calgary Bold. We need some better investment
Speaker 12: in that moving forward to be able to facilitate better
Speaker 12: opportunities for our community.
Speaker 4: So, in terms of again arguing these questions in Cambra,
Speaker 4: how do you do it? How do you make sure
Speaker 4: that I'd imagine there is a collaborative relationship between state
Speaker 4: and federal government because the reality is if this place
Speaker 4: doesn't have that sort of resources, then what it sends
Speaker 4: back and sends over.
Speaker 1: To the rest of the world changes. Well.
Speaker 13: Glenn mentioned the our umbilical cord six hundred klmeter transmission
Speaker 13: line that runs to Collie, which is another town in.
Speaker 2: My electric which has been in the news and.
Speaker 13: Last year we had a seven day power outage which
Speaker 13: was devastating for the community of course, but also the
Speaker 13: local industry as well. So we need to, I think,
Speaker 13: to secure the future of Cawgooli and the resource sector,
Speaker 13: have a power generation source based here in the golfers there,
Speaker 13: whether that be gas or.
Speaker 6: Six days ago, we knows how a fire pick crowd
Speaker 6: well done.
Speaker 4: I'm going to give you the thirty second spiel. Why
Speaker 4: should people come and visit this beautiful part of Australia.
Speaker 14: It is the heartbeat of Australia, it really is. We
Speaker 14: are the heart of the goldfields here and why not
Speaker 14: come here. We've got everything that you need right here
Speaker 14: on your doorstep on a big red platter.
Speaker 1: Bluddy.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you guys, loving to see you and love
Speaker 4: you to meet you. Thank you for having us here
Speaker 4: in this beautiful part of Australia.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break back with.
Speaker 6: More believe it or not, Candy out the connects to you.
Speaker 4: An American president and Keaven Bloody Wells is on the
Speaker 4: show tonight.
Speaker 6: Brought a second.
Speaker 1: And welcome back here to Caldooley. Hello.
Speaker 4: Now I have got to explain here about the beautiful
Speaker 4: Palace hotel. This mirror, which is extraordinary, was a gift
Speaker 4: from a US president who had spent some time in
Speaker 4: his early twenties in the gold industry here and Herbert Hoover, Yes,
Speaker 4: the Hoover Dam apparently had formed quite a connection to
Speaker 4: a local bar mate. So, being a rich bloke who
Speaker 4: wanted to show off, he decided to send a president
Speaker 4: one that she couldn't take home one that she could
Speaker 4: only leave in the hotel, of which he enjoyed very much.
Speaker 1: So if you get the chance to be here, you
Speaker 1: can read the love note.
Speaker 4: And just outside the pub there's a lovely mural as
Speaker 4: to the beautiful lady who book a President's heart. All
Speaker 4: right now, we know that the wonderful people of Harvey
Speaker 4: Norman who we cannot go around the country without the
Speaker 4: support they support incredible organizations like Zephyr Education and what Ability.
Speaker 4: Here's part of how they help people, not just here
Speaker 4: but right around regional Australia. There are so many beautiful
Speaker 4: organizations doing wonderful things across this great country, but one
Speaker 4: that is so special to me is what Ability. They
Speaker 4: create fun and meaningful community experiences for those living with
Speaker 4: the disability.
Speaker 1: And we've been.
Speaker 4: Lucky enough to get to know them so well over
Speaker 4: the years, and I think they are all types of laws.
Speaker 15: Just because someone has a disability doesn't mean they can't
Speaker 15: or they don't want to. And the sooner that we're
Speaker 15: embracing give them the opportunity. There happy the world's going
Speaker 15: to be.
Speaker 4: None of this is possible without our mates at Harvey
Speaker 4: Norman who've been proud partners of this amazing organization for
Speaker 4: three years now.
Speaker 15: Having a partner like Harvey Norman on board is massive
Speaker 15: for a company like what Ability. Leveraging off their brand
Speaker 15: condition in the Australian society and how much impact that
Speaker 15: they already have helps amplify that message about making a
Speaker 15: more inclusive world for us.
Speaker 16: The little things.
Speaker 15: That they do with our families and participants, whether it's
Speaker 15: our back to school program by donating equipment to help
Speaker 15: our participants get back into the community and live a
Speaker 15: more joyful life, or if it's in our camps where
Speaker 15: they've donated soda stream pizza ovens are making our camps
Speaker 15: really special. Having that partnership is pretty cool.
Speaker 5: We go fishing.
Speaker 10: The activities I do with Utability like fun and they
Speaker 10: like help you socialize and stuff and like connect better
Speaker 10: with other people that have don't know much.
Speaker 4: Fun and happiness comes first at what whether it's a
Speaker 4: trip to the beach or a game of footage, temping bowling.
Speaker 1: For today, visiting the ArKade.
Speaker 17: What is the.
Speaker 18: What Ability has been amazing to us. They've invited the
Speaker 18: whole family.
Speaker 1: Two events.
Speaker 18: I've been to the Cricket with Reese and what ability
Speaker 18: twice where they do jet ski days where they include
Speaker 18: the family with the social workers that come out and
Speaker 18: get him on the weekends and on the school holidays.
Speaker 18: Gives us a little bit of a break, but also
Speaker 18: gives him social skills out in the public to with
Speaker 18: learning new people and meeting new people.
Speaker 5: Reese has been on quite a few of our camps.
Speaker 5: He absolutely loves our camps.
Speaker 1: He's always fishing.
Speaker 5: He loves his fishing. Basically, we get five or six
Speaker 5: participants in a big, beautiful ab and b all together.
Speaker 5: We create beautiful friendships and relationships between support workers and
Speaker 5: other participants, showing them that there's other people out there
Speaker 5: like them, that they can have just as much fun,
Speaker 5: but also growing their independence and going through those challenges
Speaker 5: of life.
Speaker 4: There are so many more organizations dedicated to supporting families
Speaker 4: across the country. Just like another one of Harvey Norman's
Speaker 4: great partners, Zephya Education.
Speaker 19: We are dedicated to helping children who have been affected
Speaker 19: by domestic violence begin a new life at a new
Speaker 19: school by providing everything that they need to continue their education.
Speaker 4: Education is so important for these kids who live in
Speaker 4: crisis because it can restore their confidence and it gives
Speaker 4: them a sense of belonging that they may be missing elsewhere.
Speaker 4: Zephyr Education helps kids get back to school as fast
Speaker 4: as possible. They provide things like school uniforms, bags, stationary shoes.
Speaker 4: And while the volunteers don't get to see the faces
Speaker 4: of the kids or the parents that receive these wonderful
Speaker 4: school packs, Nikola wanted to share a special message with them.
Speaker 19: We are here and we do care for you. Our
Speaker 19: aim is to make your life easier, to enable your
Speaker 19: children to have a smooth start at their new school.
Speaker 1: Such a beautiful organization and I'm very pleased to announce tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm really pleased.
Speaker 4: To announce tonight that Harvey Norman are going to donate
Speaker 4: another sixty thousand dollars to Zephyr Education Australia.
Speaker 1: So give them a round applause for that effort.
Speaker 3: So break donates and and they're great people, will make
Speaker 3: sure that they can help people doing small things, and
Speaker 3: those small things together lead up to something pretty big
Speaker 3: and amazing. And also when we've been traveling around the country,
Speaker 3: locals get to go into their local Harvey Norman store
Speaker 3: to nominate people who they think are running organizations that
Speaker 3: deserve a nice and chunky giftout from Harvey Norman to
Speaker 3: be able to continue going to new heights. And I'm
Speaker 3: pleased to say that here in Calgooley, the North Calgooley
Speaker 3: Cricket Club, along with the Lisa Ashley Caretaker in Calgooley
Speaker 3: and the North Calgooley Primary.
Speaker 1: School are all going to be the beneficiary.
Speaker 4: So I heard the collapse for the cricket club, what
Speaker 4: about everything else?
Speaker 6: Let's go two thousand bucks.
Speaker 1: Two thousand bucks and all my heart Norman people in
Speaker 1: the room, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: You are awesome to see at the store yesterday. And
Speaker 4: Harvey Norman who take us around the country, thank you
Speaker 4: very much. Now a man who is world famous. World
Speaker 4: famous is Kevin Bloody Wilson and he is crom And.
Speaker 6: Calls and lot's how Gooley kV W.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're not.
Speaker 4: With us here in the palace, but I'm sure you've
Speaker 4: got plenty of tales of the pubs around this part
Speaker 4: of Australia.
Speaker 17: I've been trying to have that place many a time.
Speaker 1: I called Bloody Bar. Were good to see you, made
Speaker 1: so good to see you. Tell us what Calgooley means
Speaker 1: to you and how it.
Speaker 4: Is this little part of you, big part of you
Speaker 4: that you take around the world with you. How does
Speaker 4: Cawgooley ground you as such a massively and well known blow.
Speaker 17: Well, firstly, I wasn't born in Calbiley. I was actually
Speaker 17: born in Sydney. I only ever lived in Calberley. I
Speaker 17: arrived there as a young musician. I was almost twenty
Speaker 17: and started playing for ten days at the Foundry Hotel
Speaker 17: in nineteen sixty seven, and that ten days blew out
Speaker 17: to fourteen years and I came away fourteen years later
Speaker 17: pretty skilled in most of the things that I'd attempted,
Speaker 17: certainly the music side of it. With radio announcing both
Speaker 17: on the ABC and six KG in Calgoley. I also
Speaker 17: managed to score a five year at old apprenticeship with
Speaker 17: the Nicol smelter as an electrician. I was not very
Speaker 17: good at that and came away fourteen years later with
Speaker 17: the wife and two beautiful children. So yeah, that Colbill
Speaker 17: is my hometown, without a doubt, my hometown.
Speaker 1: This is it.
Speaker 4: It's such a lovely place and the people that people
Speaker 4: do genuinely support each other. But also what I love,
Speaker 4: and I say this with a compliment about both Calgoley
Speaker 4: and Boulder, which is they'll give you a solid kick
Speaker 4: in the ass if you need one too.
Speaker 17: Well, I've got a few of those along the way
Speaker 17: as well, particularly as a single blow.
Speaker 4: Let's talk about you know this, this generations of audiences
Speaker 4: that have seen you live, that bought the tapes, that
Speaker 4: bought the DVDs, that still see you live, and that
Speaker 4: literally you're about to go back out on the road again.
Speaker 4: Tell us about the writing process. Has that changed over
Speaker 4: the years, that what was you know, the way you
Speaker 4: came up with a song decades ago was no different
Speaker 4: than what you'll do now, not at all.
Speaker 1: Well, well, sort of loaded question. Certainly.
Speaker 17: A lot of the songs that I started out with
Speaker 17: were former mates about the mates, and I'll give you
Speaker 17: an example like Mick the Master Farta that was a
Speaker 17: story about Yes, there's there's so many of them, so
Speaker 17: many of them. I think there's at least half a
Speaker 17: dozen songs that I've recorded that feature Calbilly in them,
Speaker 17: and I always talk about it no matter where I
Speaker 17: am around the world. I always talk about my background
Speaker 17: in calbilly and how we got started decomposing other people's
Speaker 17: songs in the in the pubs. Had a little band happening,
Speaker 17: and you'd get tired of doing the same songs night
Speaker 17: after night. So I changed the words a little bit
Speaker 17: and so again, and I heavily relied on the mates
Speaker 17: too to be the I guess the art's end of
Speaker 17: it all. So I wrote the song about my mates.
Speaker 1: As I say former.
Speaker 4: Mates, collaborators, you quite correctly say your mates, which is
Speaker 4: exactly true. Why do you think the staying power is there?
Speaker 4: Because again, you are doing hundreds of dates a year.
Speaker 4: Nothing's nothing slowing down here. Why do you think you're
Speaker 4: still going strong in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 17: I love what I do, Paul, as as simple as that.
Speaker 17: What would I retire to music? Spent my life and
Speaker 17: I never learned to fish in Calberley, so fishing wasn't
Speaker 17: an option. We didn't have a decent golf course. The
Speaker 17: golf was never an option. So everything that I've been
Speaker 17: able to do all stems from my background and as
Speaker 17: a foundation in Calberley.
Speaker 1: And I'll just google his.
Speaker 4: Name, no correct, google his name, Kevin Bloody Wilson, find
Speaker 4: the website, find the tour dates, go and support him,
Speaker 4: introduce him to the next generation. I know that certainly
Speaker 4: any chance I've had to be on the route around
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 1: You are on the playlist.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter whether it was to take the CD
Speaker 4: Spotify or me just singing about the bloke with a
Speaker 4: double joint at ass.
Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen, Kevin Bloody Wlson.
Speaker 17: Back there I'm doing.
Speaker 1: How really love me?
Speaker 6: Thank you kV W. How goodness is more than a
Speaker 6: second You of a Pullbury life from tow girlby Welcome
Speaker 6: back to.
Speaker 4: The Irish pub here in the Palace Hotel in Towgooley.
Speaker 4: What a magnificent spot this is in Western Australia. As
Speaker 4: you can see around this joint is absolutely decked out.
Speaker 4: You're not support for choice when it comes to hotels
Speaker 4: and pubs around here, but this is this is absolutely spectacular.
Speaker 4: This beautiful room which yeah again please come and visit.
Speaker 4: You can also upstairs. Lots of great options to stay
Speaker 4: around here and hang out with the locals. Now, obviously
Speaker 4: this weekend was Antac Day on Friday and because of
Speaker 4: the travel, we did our show in Perth on Thursday
Speaker 4: night and got up before sunrise to go to a
Speaker 4: service at Collerslow Beach in Perth. We then had a
Speaker 4: bit more fun once we got to Calgooli. Anzac Day
Speaker 4: is the day where we honor the bravery and sacrifice
Speaker 4: of everyone who served to defend our nation. This year
Speaker 4: we did something we've never done. We went to Collislow
Speaker 4: Beach in Perth. This place is magnificent on any day,
Speaker 4: but on this day it had extra meaning. You see,
Speaker 4: the local surf clubs were doing what they did ten
Speaker 4: years ago for the one hundredth anniversary of the Gallipoli landings.
Speaker 4: They came boat by boat in from the ocean to
Speaker 4: the sands, just as our boys did in nineteen fifteen.
Speaker 4: After honoring the fallen in a uniquely wa way, like
Speaker 4: every one year of mine, in the afternoon starts to
Speaker 4: turn to two up. But unlike most people that played
Speaker 4: two up on Ansac Day in Kolgooli, you can play
Speaker 4: it all year round.
Speaker 1: One thirdreta.
Speaker 4: There's a lot more pressure on this than you think,
Speaker 4: right Like I'm telling it's all this serious, serious money.
Speaker 16: This has been since signed in fifty eight as a signed.
Speaker 16: Dad was in the Second a War.
Speaker 20: He fought up in Timor and there.
Speaker 16: Was only four hundred either of them.
Speaker 20: They were like four runners to the sas and they
Speaker 20: survived against fifteen thousand, and they used to play too
Speaker 20: up take their mind off things. And people look forward
Speaker 20: to coming out Sunday afternoons and playing, you know, and
Speaker 20: yeah it is it's there is.
Speaker 16: A lot of spirit here, you know, from a lot
Speaker 16: of characters over the years, and you can feel sometimes
Speaker 16: you can you can feel that you know, you come
Speaker 16: out of here.
Speaker 1: You don't want tail. I noticed it's on a slight
Speaker 1: slag ye for what purpose?
Speaker 20: Well, they're probably a bit cleverer than what you think.
Speaker 20: In the early days when they back to that story,
Speaker 20: the copery was in charge at the time called dad
Speaker 20: in one he said, mind blakes got better things than
Speaker 20: have been chasing you around the bush everywhere.
Speaker 16: So this site was like agreed upon.
Speaker 20: So like it's far enough away from town, so you
Speaker 20: sort of want to make your conscious decision.
Speaker 16: To come and play. And the angle.
Speaker 20: Of it sort of like adds excitement to the pennies running.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 16: Yes, and also if it rains the water runs away.
Speaker 4: A good time had by it all, and a lot
Speaker 4: more bent by other people than me, I promised Darling. Now,
Speaker 4: Ossie Gold Hunters, it's a great show which you can
Speaker 4: find on Foxtel, lots of other platforms I think seven
Speaker 4: plus gives that are run as well. This is a
Speaker 4: show that I've watched for years, and in fact, my
Speaker 4: little girl Asher and I have bonded watching this show
Speaker 4: over the years. And every time somebody you know does well,
Speaker 4: she does the little gold Hutters dance because that's the
Speaker 4: feeling it's like to strike gold. And Paul mackiw is
Speaker 4: a man who is part of that scene and you
Speaker 4: can see him on Ossie Gold Hunters.
Speaker 1: Love it to see you, mate, Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for being here. Thanks so good to see you. All right,
Speaker 1: So the gold business, when did you get into it?
Speaker 2: Oh Jesus grew up with it?
Speaker 21: Basically, yeah, getting dragged out bush with the old man
Speaker 21: and swinging a metal detector. And once you've found your
Speaker 21: first goal nugget, there's no going back.
Speaker 4: So give me an idea because again, you know, I
Speaker 4: mean TV, you know, surprise, surprise, a little bit of
Speaker 4: magic here and there.
Speaker 1: But give me an idea about those early years.
Speaker 4: How do you keep up the patients for it because
Speaker 4: obviously it can be hidden miss and it's all well
Speaker 4: and good than in a one hour show, you.
Speaker 1: Know why, But you could go days without anything.
Speaker 21: It's faced and famine, and you've got the weather to
Speaker 21: contend with as well, so as many times you can
Speaker 21: get out the bush and just keep chasing that dream.
Speaker 21: But yeah, it's definitely a long, long wind, long time
Speaker 21: between wins.
Speaker 4: And then as you as you start to build a
Speaker 4: team and the operations get get bigger and more complicated,
Speaker 4: is that more headaches.
Speaker 1: Or more reward?
Speaker 2: It's both.
Speaker 21: The monetary factor is a huge headache, especially the price
Speaker 21: of DSER. When you're running your own equipment, everything comes
Speaker 21: out of your back pocket and you've got to find
Speaker 21: that goal to put it back in and to keep
Speaker 21: on keep that dream alive.
Speaker 4: I always think that that one of the many reasons
Speaker 4: I like the show is again when I'm sitting there
Speaker 4: talking with Asha and Zati, of course, where you've got
Speaker 4: to mention both trying to explain to them that it's
Speaker 4: a little microcosm of the risk reward of mining, right,
Speaker 4: which is obviously you've got to look for it, you've
Speaker 4: got to pay for it to find it, and then
Speaker 4: you've got to extract it all the rest of it, right,
Speaker 4: and that can be just one man band, two person band,
Speaker 4: But then obviously up into the much bigger operations. I've
Speaker 4: got to say that this show in particular, which has
Speaker 4: been going for a long time, has really familiarized people,
Speaker 4: I think, with mining, and it's a credit obviously to
Speaker 4: the producers, but the participants yourself. Is that part of
Speaker 4: why you want to do it, why you keep doing it,
Speaker 4: because it spreads a certain word about what you do.
Speaker 21: It's about teaching the average guy and the average family
Speaker 21: and kids, you know that you can actually get out
Speaker 21: there and do it yourself. It's not just big mining
Speaker 21: companies that have the joy in finding gold and claiming it.
Speaker 21: You know, anyone can do it so and I love
Speaker 21: the fact that I can teach them how to process
Speaker 21: it to find it.
Speaker 2: It's not just metal detectors.
Speaker 1: There's a whole range of.
Speaker 21: Different different things that you can do to find gold,
Speaker 21: and that's what I personally love the most.
Speaker 1: So in terms of the things, are you also somebody who.
Speaker 4: Occasionally can get a little bit sort of mad scientist
Speaker 4: about new ways of trying to do things?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 21: In the earlier days, for sure, I was always trying
Speaker 21: to concoct a new method. But at the end of
Speaker 21: the day, you just go back to what the old
Speaker 21: times did one hundred years ago. They're proven techniques work,
Speaker 21: and that's something that we don't have to go to university.
Speaker 1: Just study.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm going to ask the dumbest question you're going
Speaker 4: to hear all day. Why is this region so rich
Speaker 4: with gold?
Speaker 21: It comes back to the geology of it. Of course,
Speaker 21: we're in one of the most oldest, oldest countries on
Speaker 21: the planet. And what we've been, we've not Mother Nature
Speaker 21: has given us here is just phenomenal.
Speaker 4: And it's a thing where again, what used to be
Speaker 4: flying rivers now not sediment becomes rock, rock becomes being
Speaker 4: of it all.
Speaker 1: Are you internationally known?
Speaker 4: Do you get some strange fan mail from someone in
Speaker 4: Finland or something saying I love when you go.
Speaker 1: Looking for gold?
Speaker 15: I do.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of someone said you're Futo, haven't they.
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of fun as, But.
Speaker 21: I don't actually go on those sides and whatever.
Speaker 2: Look at it.
Speaker 1: My wife's banned me fair enough.
Speaker 4: But you tell me about that thing about being someone
Speaker 4: on the other side of the world that this is
Speaker 4: the joy of TV.
Speaker 1: But the type of TV that you're involved with, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 21: Huge in Eastern Europe. It's over one hundred or twenty
Speaker 21: different countries around the world. So the biggest thing for
Speaker 21: me is walking into Bunnings. You just get to stand
Speaker 21: out everywhere. It doesn't matter what Bunnings you're in. People
Speaker 21: will always say it. You're like, I know that guy
Speaker 21: from somewhere, but here what I mean, Cayl Gurley, I
Speaker 21: just fly under the radar, which is great a.
Speaker 1: Nice fellow, isn't it. So give me an idea about
Speaker 1: where you'd like the operation to be five.
Speaker 21: Years from Well, now I've actually got my whole family's
Speaker 21: and in and out.
Speaker 2: Of the business as well.
Speaker 21: So I've got the kids working with me now and
Speaker 21: the wife. So I just want to keep doing that.
Speaker 1: How do you avoid blow ups?
Speaker 4: Because I know that again on TV thinks In sometimes
Speaker 4: be a bit more dramatic surprise surprise.
Speaker 1: But how do you avoid the blow ups?
Speaker 4: Because there is as a business, there is all the stress,
Speaker 4: let alone fifty degree days.
Speaker 2: Oh, the frustration is hectic.
Speaker 21: You have equipment breakdown, You've got, as I said, all
Speaker 21: the costs associated with it as well, and people do
Speaker 21: get on your bloody nerves. And you've got the flyers
Speaker 21: and you've got the heat and the whole experience. But
Speaker 21: at the end of the day, when you're holding that
Speaker 21: gold bar that you've poured and you found that goal yourself,
Speaker 21: you've processed it, you've released it from other nature, you're
Speaker 21: holding it there and it's worth a small fortune, all
Speaker 21: that drama just goes out the window.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that feeling, that euphoria. That again, it comes through
Speaker 4: on the TV screen again. Just about this area, this region,
Speaker 4: the people in and around here. Again, the business is
Speaker 4: what sort of keeps you in and around places like this,
Speaker 4: But what person only keeps you here? Why do you
Speaker 4: want this to be the type of place that you
Speaker 4: bring a family.
Speaker 2: It's just the diversity.
Speaker 21: Basically, you know a lot of people living in different
Speaker 21: parts around Australia. They'll go to the beach on the weekends.
Speaker 21: Most people here, they'll check their dirt bugs on the
Speaker 21: back of the trailer and they'll head bush and right
Speaker 21: around on the salt lakes and we'll go prospecting. Just
Speaker 21: the amount of what you can actually do instead of
Speaker 21: sitting there in front of the TV or playing on
Speaker 21: your phones or the computers.
Speaker 2: Or whatever it is.
Speaker 21: It's about getting out and enjoying during nature itself.
Speaker 4: That's what's so lovely and so old school and new school,
Speaker 4: with that idea about being together but being outside, getting outside,
