1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Graham Tapscott. I came across this newsletter Winter twenty twenty

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: five newsletter for Runna Muck's Seniors tours, and I thought, well,

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: that looks interesting for people listening. I said at the

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: start of the show, the front photo showing a group

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: of people about twenty or so under the heind marsh

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: Island Bridge, just on the Wharford gorwayn I'm looking at

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: the photo thinking, I reckon, they've each called it at

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: some stage. You're at five double a perfect Graham, Graham

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: tap Scott, how are you.

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm good, Thank you very much, Thank you for coming in.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: Tell me about run of Muck Senior's tours.

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: But well, it all started off about ten years ago. Yeah,

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: when I just.

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: Started working for the West Terrence Council as a volunteer

15
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: driver taking all the seniors out for their morning shopping, right.

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: And it was through that I realized.

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: That if I didn't take them at shopping, they wouldn't

18
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 3: go out for the week, okay, And that's the very

19
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: sad thing in society today that they've become a bit

20
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: of a forgotten generation. So what we've tried to do

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 3: is to bring these people together former community which we've

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: done quite successfully over the last ten years. Started off

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: with eight people. Now we've got over thirteen hundred.

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Really, it's amazing. So that's obviously more than one council area.

25
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: Presumably they're coming from everywhere.

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: Well interestingly enough, we even have one lady come down

27
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: from Wyela really every month just to do the trips. Yeah,

28
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: that's dedication.

29
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: So okay, So it started taking them shopping, presumably from

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: around the West Torrens council area to the woolies or whatever. Yes,

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: and it's from the brochure. You now go all over

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the place. You go down to the Korong, you go

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: to the Adelaide Hills, you go to Mount Lofty, the Barossa.

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: Wherever the mood takes us. Yeah, where do they want

35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: to go?

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Okay, how does that work? How do you decide where

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: you're going?

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

39
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: I suppose you've got to advertise in it advance.

40
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: That what we do.

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: There's a group of us as I've got three other

42
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: guys were people that work with me, Karen and Chris

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: and a few other drivers. We're all dedicated to the

44
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: cause in working with the seniors. And what we do

45
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: is we sit down at the beginning of the year

46
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: and we work out a plan for these various groups

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: as to where we'll take them for the air, and

48
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 3: we submt it to them and they look at the

49
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: venue that we've got coming up for the air and

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: they choose what ones they'd like to come on. Okay,

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: so we don't get thirteen hundred all at once, Yes,

52
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: a little bit hard.

53
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: That would be. You'd need a very big bus, all right.

54
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: So just looking at the schedule, I'm going to list

55

Speaker 1: in a pub along the way, pub.

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: Or a restaurant we go to, yes, and we only

72
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 3: deal with places that are senior friendly, okay, and we

73
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 3: take care of our seniors. We make sure before we

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: take any of these places on as a venue, we

75
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: go out and check it out to make sure that

76
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: it's walker friendly, wheelchair friendly, that type of thing. That

77
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: the convenience is there, are clean and tidy and user friendly,

78
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: and the quality of the food is there for them,

79
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: and the price is just right.

80
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: So it takes a bit of research, but we put

81
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: a lot.

82
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: Of effort into it and it's been very successful so far.

83
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Fantastic, all right. So thirteen hundred, now, I imagine you're

84
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: still growing.

85
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: That average of one person the day, really, and we

86
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: don't advertise so into the year.

87
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Sixteen hundred could be I'll come back then, I'll let

88
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, absolutely, Okay. How did it go

89
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: from the aid? I mean you talk about you saw

90
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: the need. What did you do next after being the

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: community bus driver to the West Rrence Council. How did

92
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: you get going?

93
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'm still the community.

94
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 3: Yes, I've just done my eleven years now, same run gardens.

95
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 3: But you get to know these people and they and

96
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: you form a bit of a bond with them, and

97
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: you have a bit of fun and you discover that

98
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: they actually got a personality and they've got lots of

99
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: stories to tell, and they've got lots of friends that

100
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: also want to intermingle. So what we've the whole purpose

101
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: what we've done is to try and bring these people together.

102
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: And the first week they get on the bus, they

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: don't know each other. The second week they're the best

104
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: of friends. Really, it really works that well.

105
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: And so people come together weekly.

106
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we judge it by the laughter, talking, the

107
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: camaraderie between the the exchange your knitting patterns, do you

108
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: name it, it's all there, and it's just fantastic to

109
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: deal with these people. It's just absolutely wonderful. We have

110
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: a great time, never have a bad day.

111
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: All right, let's put it out there. If you've been

112
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: on RUNNERMOKS seniors tours, let's hear from you an eight

113
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: double two to three double o double. Oh, tell us

114
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: where you went and what the day was like for you.

115
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: This is the winter newsletter that I've got here, Graham.

116
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: I imagine what different venues different times of year.

117
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, there for a year, four different news letters for

118
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: each each season. We'll be preparing the spring one next obviously. Yeah,

119
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: I'm not quite sure what we're going to get. The

120
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: list is there right up to Christmas anyway?

121
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, and this is the places I read out.

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: I imagine what beachside the warmer it gets. You got

123
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: it Downel Dinger and whatever else. So that's pretty good.

124
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: It's so important, isn't it. You talked about the comaraderigue

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: and getting people out and about it. If it wasn't

126
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: for the weekly shopping tour, no one would be getting

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: out and old having the contact. It's just so important.

128
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: It is because it's a lot of these people that

129
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: we're taking are on their own, not necessarily in a

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: nursing home or retirement village, that they could be living

131
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: independently at home. They've lost their spouse and their family

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: could be living into State, so they're there by themselves,

133
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: and if you don't take them out, they set there

134
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: looking at four walls. And that's very, very sad. So

135
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: we're trying to change that. We're trying to give them

136
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: a purpose for being and getting them out there and

137
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: enjoying a day, even if just once a month, just

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: to get out there and have a good time.

139
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: Do you get that response from them that you know,

140
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for what you do, that's exactly what

141
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: they'd be doing.

142
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: You've only got to look at their faces that tells you,

143
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: thank you so much for doing this.

144
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: Nobody else seems to do it. Yeah.

145
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: Well, looking all the photos on the back from different locations,

146
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: they seem to be having a grand old time at

147
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: various places.

148
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: Yes, they do.

149
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: The Lord Lindoff, the Olive Branch Normanville on a jetty there,

150
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: the Lavender farm, you name it there, and the Crispy

151
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: Creme enjoying that tremendously.

152
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: That was a Lord one. We just thought we chucking

153
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: in for good measure. Yeah, and it was very successful.

154
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: Really.

155
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: They are coming out with donuts everywhere.

156
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: We'll remember the days when people fly into State and

157
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: come back with boxes of Crispy Kruse, Sydney and Melbourne's unbelievable.

158
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: All right, I see amongst the itinery on off. I

159
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: don't know how you organize this. The lake ere spectacular.

160
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: This is acenic flight, so you're kind of into the

161
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: that's the big deal stuff.

162
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's with Chris, one of our other drivers, one

163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: of my right hand man, shall we say, He organizes

164
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 3: those tours up there. He's well versed in bush driving

165
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: and he organizes the whole thing. I don't have to

166
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: get involved in that. I don't don't want to do

167
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,239
Speaker 3: five day tours staf Okay, he does and he loves.

168
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Them all right. So that this includes you know, an

169
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: overnight staying, Kuba PD, open Mind tours, Woomera Aircraft and

170
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: Missile Park, Botanic gardens tours and the arid lands and

171
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: all sorts of things through the Flinders as well. That's amazing,

172
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: and a flight over lake which at the moment would

173
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: be spectacular. That's the only word you can use. Yeah.

174
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Silo art tours are they popular? Sorry, silo art.

175
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: That's becoming popular because they're springing up everywhere, these silo

176
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: art and they do some wonderful paintings on that that

177
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: really it's worth seeing.

178
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: Doubt.

179
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: I haven't done one myself, but again Chris is organizing,

180
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: and you're right.

181
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: The ones I've seen just look amazing and what a

182
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: great billboard. Silos are ultimately onto what they didn't think

183
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: of doing this all those years ago, but just being white,

184
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: but there it is, indeed all right? So is this

185
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: something that stands out? A tour that stands out that

186
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: people love doing the zoo? Really?

187
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: They love the manato zoop.

188
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably the busiest one we've got.

189
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: It's entertaining, it's you never know what.

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: Animals you're going to see. Of course you can't predict that.

191
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 3: But we're getting full buses. We're getting thirty five to

192
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: forty people there and they're having a good time.

193
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: That's incredible. So they obviously then come from different areas potentially.

194
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we try to zone it.

195
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: We try to do group A, group B, group group D,

196
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: various not so much post codes, but various areas that

197
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: we can pick up conveniently with various various buses.

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes we run three or four buses just to do

199
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: one too.

200
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, that's fantastic. So and seniors, they would get

201
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: all the discounts and everything. I guess the places that

202
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: you book through will organize that.

203
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: We organize all that for them and they get the

204
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: best deal we can get for.

205
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, brilliant. Okay, So if people want to find out

206
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: more info, how do they get in touch?

207
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: Just phone yours truly?

208
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, on your mobile, on my mobile which

209
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: is and we'll keep it here if people want to

210
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: ring through later in the evening four one eight nine

211
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: zero one one six five four one eight nine zero

212
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: one one six five. And there's a Facebook page as well, right,

213
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: there is a Facebook page which is run amuks towards

214
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: That's simple as that. So just put that in run

215
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: a mark.

216
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: There's no website.

217
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Do they run a mark?

218
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: Trying to control them? Is? Oh, it's a problem. It's

219
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 2: a problem. You've given them freedom and they don't know

220
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 2: what to do with themselves.

221
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this one perhaps is one thurs You

222
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: say you make Chris, but the Gecko Safari what's that about?

223
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 3: Well, that's the company that actually runs that part of it, right,

224
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: It's okay, sub it's sort of built in with running ucks.

225
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 3: We're sort of working partnership with them, right.

226
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: So this is the outback kind of thing. Yeah, okay,

227
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: what a great trip that would be. I mean, the

228
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: outback's fascinating for a lot of people who've lived their

229
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: life in Adelaidea and not having seen, not having gone,

230
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, right up north. It's just amazing. Yes, it

231
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: is and will worth seeing. So all right, So there's

232
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: a lot going on Graham in this I know from

233
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: what I'm holding here. You rent your Holy Knights and

234
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: the Botanic gardens. That would have been very successful.

235
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course there's the Lobothoal lights. We do

236
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: that at Christmas.

237
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 3: We had one hundred and forty five people last year

238
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: for the Christmas Lights and very successful.

239
00:10:59,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: Again.

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 3: A lovely meal before we went up there at the

241
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: Pretendnia restaurant up in Caman too and they put on

242
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: a lovely Christmas spread for us at a very reasonable price,

243
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 3: and straight off up to the lights and we didn't

244
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: get them back till two o'clock in the morning. Really,

245
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: they had to have notes from their parents, but it

246
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: worked well. They stayed up, oh yes, and they stayed awake.

247
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: The most important thing was a very good, yeah, very

248
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 3: good exercise as well.

249
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: We took a load down there and they throw and

250
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: enjoyed that.

251
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: Because it was quite spectacular to see all right, years ago,

252
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: and I'm talking back in the seventies. Now I can

253
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: recall and you'd remember at the Essay Tourism Commission office

254
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: that was on King William Street just near the old

255
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: West Bank that's there, and they used to run tours

256
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: to places like you know, Mount Lofty for the day

257
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: and you'd go to Cleveland and all of that. I

258
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: don't know if that still happens, if anyone does that,

259
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: but I suppose this is a good kind of representation

260
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: of it.

261
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: Well, we actually do a day in hard Off, and

262
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: we do a day in Victor Harbor.

263
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: So we just take them down there. They can wander around,

264
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: do what they want to.

265
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: We get them lunch at one of the hotels down there,

266
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: and then we bring them home.

267
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you all right?

268
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: Blake's disappeared for a second. So I've answered the phone

269
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,960

302
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,679

00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: The whole idea is to you to have complete freedom

304
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: of the day and not have to worry about getting

305
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: into town to meet a bus down there or a

306
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: train down there. We pick you up at home, we

307
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: get you home safely, and we look after you while

308
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: you're on the bus.

309
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: Fantastic, All right, anything else we need to know anything?

310
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,840

311
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: No, Only we do run.

312
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: We have special badges we give everybody which covers all

313
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,400
