Speaker 2: Alsof we just google Great Divide Tours. He is the
Speaker 2: man who's actually been tipping us into a few places
Speaker 2: along the GiB Riveraid and of course we are now
Speaker 2: in Broom and he's got a few other ideas for
Speaker 2: us and some places to check out. He's on the
Speaker 2: line in Braidwood now, which is for a long way
Speaker 2: away from each other. Here he's down near Canberra. I'm
Speaker 2: up here in the northern western part of Australia in
Speaker 2: Broom and he's on the line.
Speaker 3: Victor Gooda, Oh goodday, mister duck.
Speaker 4: I wish I was there where you are. Let me
Speaker 4: degree he's here in brayd this morning. I bet it
Speaker 4: wasn't Broom.
Speaker 2: Well, we're hearing Broom at the moment, and you're lucky
Speaker 2: you're not here, because there's a few crocodiles.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at them right now.
Speaker 2: In fact, there's probably about almost a dozen in front
Speaker 2: of me, and one of them looking a bit.
Speaker 3: We're at the Malcolm.
Speaker 2: Douglas crock Farm and with young young Owen, and he's
Speaker 2: telling me that they've got this special mouthwash here for crocodiles,
Speaker 2: so if you were to get bitten, they would have
Speaker 2: to they would have to insert the mouthwash to the
Speaker 2: crocodile to get the bad taste out of his mouth.
Speaker 4: I got news for you, mate, Dusty. Remember that.
Speaker 3: And they're looking at me, I'm telling you, mate.
Speaker 4: They lawyer that Ham's sake, are you They're looking at
Speaker 4: me going, hang on, here's how to feed right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, what an amazing place.
Speaker 4: What a beautiful place, Broom is you look.
Speaker 2: Really not long got any We've got any yesterday and
Speaker 2: we've had a bit of a look around. We're actually
Speaker 2: going to base ourselves here for a few days. But
Speaker 2: the first thing I wanted to do was come and
Speaker 2: check out the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Farm. I've got to
Speaker 2: tell you, This place is unbelievable. And what Owen is doing,
Speaker 2: along with his staff and his grandmother is absolutely Malcolm
Speaker 2: Douglass legacy lives on here and he's a fresh set
Speaker 2: of eyes. He's young, he's enthusiastic, he's he's got some
Speaker 2: great ideas and plans, and it's it's a great it's
Speaker 2: a great place and and it'll be here for a
Speaker 2: very long time to come. And I can tell you
Speaker 2: if you're coming to broom Vic, you've got to come
Speaker 2: here because people people are fascinated by crocodiles. I don't
Speaker 2: want to get too close to them, but they all
Speaker 2: want to spot them and they'll walk, they'll walk through
Speaker 2: tracks and stuff. In some of those national parks I
Speaker 2: see the Fresheason, you might spot one or two. But
Speaker 2: if you come here, not only will you get to
Speaker 2: see them up close in a safe environment, but you'll
Speaker 2: actually get educated on them as well. And it's made
Speaker 2: it certainly worthwhile doing it. And how I implore anyone
Speaker 2: traveling in this part and there's plenty of people listening
Speaker 2: to us, we who.
Speaker 3: Travel to this part of the country.
Speaker 2: And on the Big Look, the Big Lap, if you're
Speaker 2: coming through Broom. You would not drive past here without stopping,
Speaker 2: or if you base yourself, come back into here and
Speaker 2: have a look. It's a great facility. It's it's actually
Speaker 2: more than what I expected. So anyway, so there you
Speaker 2: gave Victor. But you've got a few other places that
Speaker 2: you want to check out as well.
Speaker 3: See what else is he which you would love?
Speaker 2: Is a museums the museum here and now all the
Speaker 2: you know the stuff that Malcolm Douglas.
Speaker 4: Diving gears and all that stuff as well, famous for
Speaker 4: the Pearl divers with there.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm talking about the Malcolm No no,
Speaker 2: not not not brilliant, I'm talking about it. No, no,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the museum here at the Crock Farm
Speaker 2: with the all the stuff about Malcolm Douglas and he's
Speaker 2: and Andrevers here and all this. You know that he's editing,
Speaker 2: he edited all these videos that's here exactly how it
Speaker 2: was great. Yeah, it's quite amazing. But you've got some
Speaker 2: other places that you want us to check out while
Speaker 2: we're here actually halfway through our filming trip.
Speaker 3: Mate, what else you got in for us?
Speaker 4: Well, look, you know, I mean just set off in
Speaker 4: Broom itself as well, I have no doubt that at
Speaker 4: some point you're going to get down onto Cable Beach
Speaker 4: and at the end of the day and watch the sunset.
Speaker 4: That's the really big thing to do. Whether it be
Speaker 4: right up at Cable Beach itself or down at guant
Speaker 4: From Point, which is the southern part of Cable Beach,
Speaker 4: it's something that everybody that the ice of Broom will do.
Speaker 4: You can drive your forward right down on the beach,
Speaker 4: et cetera there and watch that sunset over the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 4: They've got the camel rights. I can't see you on
Speaker 4: a camel, but there you go. But north of there,
Speaker 4: you've got capable leak right up to the cape there
Speaker 4: just north of Room a couple hundred k they've got
Speaker 4: a sealed road going all the way up to that now.
Speaker 4: And again that's a beautiful camp right on the beach
Speaker 4: up there, and there's a couple other little spots along
Speaker 4: the way Bugle Bay and a couple other places where
Speaker 4: you go out to the coast. And then south of there, mate,
Speaker 4: there's just so much the sea and I think you're
Speaker 4: heading south after this, all the way down that West
Speaker 4: Australian coast. There is just so much the sea along
Speaker 4: the way. Every little road that goes out to the beach,
Speaker 4: eighty mile Beach is one a caravan park right up
Speaker 4: there at eighty mile Beach. You know, it's just a
Speaker 4: brilliant part of the country, that asia blue colored sea
Speaker 4: that you have. And then a bit further south from
Speaker 4: that you start to get into one of the most
Speaker 4: beautiful places in Australia, which is at Karajani National Park,
Speaker 4: which is around that Hamersley Range, and that's that's you know,
Speaker 4: when people ask me where's your favorite place in Australia,
Speaker 4: I have to nominate that Caraagini National Park area and
Speaker 4: the walks that you can do down into those fantastic
Speaker 4: oak cordond and red colored, gorgeous. I've taken about it
Speaker 4: some several times over the years that we've been talking
Speaker 4: to you. It is a really really beautiful part of
Speaker 4: the country. Just south of Broom there a couple of
Speaker 4: days drive south and then maybe this continues like out
Speaker 4: to the coast all the way down Calbarry. The windows
Speaker 4: on the so the Calbarry's got the windows of nature
Speaker 4: and the Nature's window which is a hole in the
Speaker 4: rock formation. They've got the platforms that go out now
Speaker 4: the lookouts where it's a platform that goes out over
Speaker 4: the gorge is a couple of them. That's a really
Speaker 4: spectacular thing that they've done down there before. There you've
Speaker 4: got x now from the Mingaloo roof and people go
Speaker 4: swimming with the whale sharks. Mate, you're in heaven over there.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you. It's just so much to see and do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm not the only one here.
Speaker 2: There's plenty of people, plenty of caravan is everywhere out here,
Speaker 2: and it is a great part of the country where
Speaker 2: we are vic that is for sure.
Speaker 3: When we did the gibb.
Speaker 2: And we took in a lot of those national parks
Speaker 2: and those gorges and all that stuff, and certainly checked
Speaker 2: out a lot of a lot of stations and some
Speaker 2: good camp grounds as well.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Victor, you're a good man.
Speaker 2: And obviously we've credited you for all of this stuff
Speaker 2: because obviously you send us for some information and we
