And you know, during that time too, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.720 when we were working with her, she was studying and 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.960 studying very hard to become one of the great. You know, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.240 she's a guarding whiz anyway, but she studies and those 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.960 every single plant and knows the history of plants. She's 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.880 an amazing young woman. And she wanted to give her 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.360 a call later today. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.960 And people would ring in, and she said, what's that? 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.800 Being by years, you say what suburb was from, and 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.640 she would know the soil type in every suburb of Ear. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.680 She was just she's just amazing. 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.279 Which is not easy because given most of its sand. 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:55.479 Yeah, that's right. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:00.880 It would manage them. Look at these Look at these 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:05.000 texts coming in the town name called cool ya noobbing. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:11.680 Yeah, yep, yep, they're all over. Well, get some calls 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.000 they've got now, I haven't got any that. There's some 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.080 deliciously dirty names, but I haven't got any of those. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.760 For your Tony but I'm going to tell you my favorite, 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:24.279 because this is a fantastic It's called Useless Sloop and 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:29.039 it's in Shark Bay, which is a wonderful area, but 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.520 basically it's a company town. There's about seventy people live there, 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.320 and it services the solar salt operation in Shark Bay. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:41.360 This isn't meant. I've flown over it. And they've got 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.440 these huge ponds where they put in salt water. And 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.440 the reason that they do it in Shark Bay is 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.560 because Shark Bay is parts of a double the saline 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:58.360 of normal seawater, so they get really quality stalt there 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.479 and they export something like one point six million tons 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:07.080 a year and it is said to be the purest 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.080 sault in the world, something like ninety nine point nine 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.880 percent pure. And it's got such a great name Uselessly. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:18.760 But if there's anything about this place, it's definitely not useless, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:24.720 because it's in a prime position in order to sell souls. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.080 This wonderful place. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.840 Now there's another one here. I'm going to make sure 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:34.279 I get this correct. Will Will Will Wonka, Will Will Wonder, 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:35.080 Will Will Wonka. 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.640 Well, I've heard of Willie Wonka.

I've been there, Chinkapook in it's 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.040 in it's up in the near near Swan Hill. That's 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.000 it's about sixty seven case from Swan Hill, but it's 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:42.120 right next to Malangatang. And I named manangu Tang because 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.000 my wife, my wife's aren't used to live there in 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:49.640 her family. Manangatang, that's that's weak growing area. But Chinckapook, 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:54.480 it's just it's the smallest place. Apparently it's on the 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:59.800 Robin Villa Robin Vale Railway, but yeah, it just sort 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:03.520 of if you blink, you're going to miss miss it 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:07.600 as you drive through. But you've got to go through 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.200 there on your way to Manangatang, which is which is 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.840 actually i'd love the name Mandanga Tang, but it's it's 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.880 a very very small town now because a lot of 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:21.319 these towns, the populations have moved out, you know, and 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.760 and it's sad to see really because I think with 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:30.199 more technology and a lot of these new high tech 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.240 tractors and that they have they don't really need the 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.559 same number of workers as they used to have there. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.360 Of course. Well that's the different landscape that we have now, 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:39.640 isn't it in many ways? 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:45.040 Yeah. But there's also another one called Dingling Lake, which 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:49.120 is once again that's near near the Little Desert National 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:54.600 Park up up there, Little Dingling Lake. I'm just wondering 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.400 everything had been. 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.160 That's right there, you go and you'd go there and 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:05.400 or j Johnny Chester.
