00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: the Rancho twenty twenty six. What is what are some

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: of the highlights of the program this year?

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Yes, Sook, you know Outsideline is actually Joe Boksday Stay

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Out and I think we've really done well in encompassing that.

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: As I do say so myself. This year, we've really

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: tried to diversify our operating for all the different audiences

18
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and visitor groups that we throughout the duration of the show.

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: So it's still jammed packed with tons of activations, ton

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: of entertainment. I have a few educational elements as well,

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean this year, one of our big, big draw

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: cards is our Jungle Zone. So our Jungle Magic Zone

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: is held in Hall eight. It's our kids zone. We

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: had originally created it for kids, but we found that

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: the entire family is enjoying the activation. You know, it's

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: a Neon Litz jungle. It's larger than life. It's so immersive.

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: You get that the sounds of the jungle, six foot gorillas.

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, you've got your your rhinos, you've got your spiders.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: You know.

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: We really wanted to bring the Jungle to Joe Brick

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: this year, so we're very, very excited about our offering

32
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: this year.

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: I also see that there's also a brand new anime

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: and gaming zone, which is a first for the show

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: this year. Tell us about that zone, yes, so we're.

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Very proud of that. It's not an activation that we've

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: had previously. So it's held in Hole six. It's our

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: gaming and anime zones. They'll be doing robotics, some gaming,

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: some coding. I mean, Chris as young as five growth

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: where we're coding yesterday and I was stocked. I can

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: barely get around my iPhones, you know, so it's really

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: incredible to see how the textpace is really booming, but

43
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: how they're also educating both the kids and the parents.

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: I think online safety is also very important, so we

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: love that that's been highlighted in that section as well,

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, just to keep all our visitors informed in

47
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: safe throughout their experiences.

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: Tell us about the Bridle and Mature Fair as well,

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: that's also happening in Hall seven.

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Yes, like you said, in Hall seven, we've got our

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: Bridal and Metric John's Face, So we've got a couple

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: of vendors that specialize in those industries and they're showcasing

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: their wares and their services, their goods. Because we know

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: how stressful both of those events are. I mean, they're

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: quite milestone events for each participant, so we thought, why

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: not bring some of that magic to the Rancher and

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: help our brides and arm a trick groups just make

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: it easier for them to sort of access those vendors

59
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: without having to go through maybe scams or you know,

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: just difficulty with choices. But you know it's all under

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: one roof now, so you get to see a variety

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: all in one day, all in one time.

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: And then also tell us about the music lineup because

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: there's also generally great entertainment as part of the program.

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Tell us who's on the lineup this year?

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Yes, and listen, it wouldn't be the Rancho with us.

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: An incredible lineup and the entertainment is such a cornerstone

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: for us. So this year we've had already on Satay

69
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: we have jazz Q and yesterday we actually and a Daughter.

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: But today we're very very excited to be welcoming Murders

71
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow we have our Living Legends Lester Vennie,

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: and then Monday we close it off with Carbon Momo.

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: But those are all supported by some of our local talents,

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: including sons of Finists and as well as over Choice.

75
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: So we're very very excited. I think our lineup is

76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: all a massive, massive drawout for our visitors this year,

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: and we hope that we haven't disappointed. Yeah.

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: Also, food is a big part of the experience at

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: the Rancho. Tell us about the Meat Topia. And also

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: I see that there's been an expansion of the halal

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: section for Muslim visitors. Tell us about that as well, Yes, ma'am.

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: So last year we introduced a concept called Meetopia. It's

83
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: sort of a shikan yama concept. You It said to

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: weigh and pay and then they bride for you. And

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 1: we did that because we understand that our visitors don't

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: come in groups of one or groups of two or

87
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: single visitors. It's quite large families and the prices can

88
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: wrap up quite quickly. So our mark, our catering division

89
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: sort of conceptualize this meat Topia for us. So you'll

90
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: get your your chicka yama plates, there's oil, the there's

91
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: eyes by, and they all that a very very affordable price.

92
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: But also you weigh and you play, so you can

93
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: also almost shoot how much you're wanting to spend at

94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: our Metopia station and there are various stations of different

95
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: cuts of meat, different offerings there. And then go with

96
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: our hellal offering. We really really endeavored to to sort

97
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of broaden that offering because we undert we understood that

98
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: it was after Ramadan, so we wanted our Muslim visitors

99
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: to really be able to enjoy the offering and the

100
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: show very very sort of you know, intentionally, and we

101
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: went about it by by then offering more food stores

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: that offer a halal offering.

103
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: Just a question from Presco on three on seven or

104
