Speaker 1: On the road again. Just can't wait to get on
Speaker 1: the road again.
Speaker 2: He's mean, he's nasty, he's grumpy. He is Steve grumpy Collins.
Speaker 1: Grubby, you're too well tony. Yes, very very mean, very glumpy. Yes,
Speaker 1: never never laughed at anybody in my life.
Speaker 2: No, that's not in your spirit at all. Yes, yeah, good, yeah,
Speaker 2: good as golder grums. So, because we've been asking the
Speaker 2: question about people that you may have admired over the years,
Speaker 2: who's someone that you really admire or admired and for
Speaker 2: what reason? Now, clearly I'm going to be at the
Speaker 2: top of your list. You want me to do, you
Speaker 2: want the second choice, your statue, give me the give
Speaker 2: me your second person.
Speaker 1: What a person that basically no one has ever heard of.
Speaker 1: He's a guy called Ben Carlin, and he had an
Speaker 1: aquatic jeep called half Safe, which he saw when he
Speaker 1: was in World War Two, when it was an American one.
Speaker 1: It was a Ford aquatic jeep, and he said, you
Speaker 1: could drive one of those around the world. So after
Speaker 1: the war he moved to New York. He bought two
Speaker 1: of them, one aparts, and he built this car which
Speaker 1: he called the Half Safe. But bear in mind that
Speaker 1: you could drive it across water and that, and he
Speaker 1: literally drove it around the world. Now, the first attempt
Speaker 1: from New York, he was unsuccessful. Gives us out in
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean and he was almost surrounding, so a
Speaker 1: tanker pulled him up and took him to Montreal. Was going,
Speaker 1: so he stayed there, he did some adjustments to the car,
Speaker 1: and then he drove it across the Atlantic Ocean to
Speaker 1: the Canary and from there he drove it across to Africa,
Speaker 1: and then up through Africa and across the Mediterranean to Gibroad,
Speaker 1: and then up through Europe and then across the English
Speaker 1: Channel to Great Britain. Stayed there for a while. Then
Speaker 1: he drove it back right across Asia to the Bay
Speaker 1: of Bengal and across across the water there, then up
Speaker 1: through Asia, across the water to Japan, through Japan, and
Speaker 1: then across the North Pacific where there's ice to Alaska,
Speaker 1: and then from Alaska he drove over land to Montreal.
Speaker 1: The most incredible card journey in the world. Really, anyone
Speaker 1: knows about it. And you can see half safe if
Speaker 1: you visit Guilford Grammar, because he was a Guildford Grammar
Speaker 1: and he left it to them at his will.
Speaker 2: Is of that a fantastic ship.
Speaker 1: There's a there's a book called The Other Half of
Speaker 1: Half Safe, which I read many many years ago, and
Speaker 1: I think you might be able to get it from
Speaker 1: Guilford Grammar. But you look at this thing and it
Speaker 1: is basically the size of a normal sedan car. And
Speaker 1: it was amazing because he had to carry his own fuel,
Speaker 1: so we invented these great, big sort of leather balloons
Speaker 1: basically that he towed behind him so that he could refill.
Speaker 1: And he took his wife with him. His wife got
Speaker 1: seasick and they went through They went through a typhoon
Speaker 1: and a tornado out in the Atlantic Ocean, and I
Speaker 1: bopped on the on the surface of water like a cork.
Speaker 1: I didn't think. And it was just an amazing adventure.
Speaker 2: What a wonderful, wonderful story.
Speaker 1: What was his name again, Grumpy Ben Carl and C
Speaker 1: A R. L. I N.
Speaker 2: Ben Callen. I'll do some researchency if we can.
Speaker 1: Find you love your cars you would be amazed at
Speaker 1: this story. But he does. He had a great things
Speaker 1: of humor as well, And so when you read the book,
Speaker 1: it's not it's fantastic, but it's also quite funny his
Speaker 1: observations of people and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: In what decade was he doing this.
Speaker 1: He started in the nineteen fifties and the journey took
Speaker 1: him a bit over ten years. He didn't do it
Speaker 1: in one go because he used to fund it. He
Speaker 1: would sort of go to Europe and then he put
Speaker 1: it on display in Paris and places like that, and
Speaker 1: he went to London. He was in quite in London
Speaker 1: for about three years. He traveled all over the UK
Speaker 1: just people would pay to look at it and sit
Speaker 1: in it, and that was how That's how he financed everything.
Speaker 1: And he had the King of Belgium was sitting in
Speaker 1: at once and he was sitting in the passenger seat.
Speaker 1: What the King of Belgium didn't know was if you
Speaker 1: lifted that. That was the onboard talk as well. So
Speaker 1: he said, I had the King of Belgium sitting on.
Speaker 2: Microone as one does. Just before he came on, we
Speaker 2: had a regular contributed Julie, and Julian's a great bloke.
Speaker 2: He story into some degree and loves bits and pieces
Speaker 2: about things that happened all around Australia. He asked me
Speaker 2: to ask you the question about Heard Island.
Speaker 1: It's called Herd Island and the McDonald Islands. It's a
Speaker 1: group of islands, and it's about four thousand, just over
Speaker 1: four thousand kilometers south west of Perth. It's right down there,
Speaker 1: it's right, it's in the it's in the Southern Ocean,
Speaker 1: not all that's far from Antarctica, and it's run by
Speaker 1: the Antarctic Division. And so yes, you do have to
Speaker 1: have special permission to go there because why because it's
Speaker 1: protected alier. Okay, it's a it's a World Heritage site.
Speaker 1: And he's right that there are only seals and penguins
Speaker 1: that lived there. And by the way, when Donald Trump
Speaker 1: introduced his tariffs, he was charging those seals and Big
Speaker 1: wasn't heard on anything.
Speaker 2: That's funny. That is just so funny. He was charging
Speaker 2: them fifty percent and they do nothing.
Speaker 1: There were nothing. You could have had some big iguado.
Speaker 1: I guess that would have been. I don't I mun
Speaker 1: sell that foot, to be honest.
Speaker 3: But no.
Speaker 1: But it's got two of it's not the only two
Speaker 1: active volcanoes in Australian territory. And one of them is
Speaker 1: called Big Ben and that's the highest mountain in Australian Territory.
Speaker 1: It's it's over nine thousand feet bearing him, but Mount
Speaker 1: Kosiosco is about seven thousand something and so Big Ben
Speaker 1: Towers over that. And there's another one called Mawson Peak
Speaker 1: or Morson Peak is part of because Mawson would have
Speaker 1: been there of course. So yeah, but they send scientists
Speaker 1: there to study it. But yeah, they're protected areas. That's
Speaker 1: why you can't go there. You've got our permission to
Speaker 1: go there.
Speaker 2: Favorite or least favorite destinations because why what touched on
Speaker 2: neve for you about that?
Speaker 1: Well, I was just thinking about some of the places
Speaker 1: I've been, and yeah, I love trouble and I love
Speaker 1: going places, but there are some places that they disappoint you, now,
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, let's take the USA for instance.
Speaker 1: I loved I love the USA. I love Chicago. That
Speaker 1: is my favorite city in the USA, which is hard.
Speaker 1: Was a hard choice because New York.
Speaker 4: Is fabulous as well.
Speaker 1: But Chicago surprised me, I think because it's actually a
Speaker 1: beautiful city. Of the architecture there is wonderful, and it's
Speaker 1: it's unlike Erie, and it's and they've got beaches right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the city. You know, right on
Speaker 1: the edge of the city and stuff like that, which
Speaker 1: I didn't expect, and I just just loved it. You know.
Speaker 1: Of course, New York is just exciting, you know, Will's
Speaker 1: most exciting city as far as I'm concerned. But what
Speaker 1: disappointed me was San Francisco, because I guess certain part
Speaker 1: of it is the weather there. San Francisco is pretty
Speaker 1: shocking weather, or did when I was there. But it
Speaker 1: was the homelessness there. It's unbelievable, the homelessness, and it's
Speaker 1: very very open, and it's basically anywhere you go in
Speaker 1: San Francisco, there's homeless people everywhere, and a lot of
Speaker 1: them are begging and stuff like that, and some of
Speaker 1: them aren't too friendly, and I just thought it was
Speaker 1: it was it was really disappointing to see that in
Speaker 1: one of the actually the world's richest country. Really to
Speaker 1: see that level of homelands, homes brighton, it's right out
Speaker 1: on the streets. I mean, if you go to the
Speaker 1: pier and all that outbreak there, you know, And I
Speaker 1: just found that very very disappointing about San Francisco. I mean,
Speaker 1: I loved the rest of America, but that was something
Speaker 1: that I don't know. It made me feel sad for
Speaker 1: the city. To be honest with you.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll get some calls. I hope we get some
Speaker 2: calls about those best and wish or if you like
Speaker 2: the favorite or the least favorite destination that you've truveled
Speaker 2: at the computis straight at the commedia in the world.

Speaker 2: how it, feels each way ahead of Where New york ever.
Speaker 1: Was it's a very very friendly, city and the public transport's.
Speaker 1: Good BUT i, MEAN i got good weather WHEN i was,

Speaker 1: Park there's all these artworks, there and there's this massive
Speaker 1: fountain which has got projected faces on it and stuff like.

Speaker 1: Transit authority if you recall they had that they hit
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Sixty four, oh, yes year what a song twenty five or.
Speaker 2: Sixty four now earlier we were talking about great cities
Speaker 2: around the world And Including new york as to why they.
Speaker 2: Were so there was a lot of issues around violence
Speaker 2: and crime in a City Like, new york which well
Speaker 2: and truly documented, the time and they talked About The
Speaker 2: New york city's broken, windows, policy which According to rich
Speaker 2: who sends a lot of, information through is based on
Speaker 2: the theory that cracking down on minor offenses during that
Speaker 2: time helped prevent more. Serious crime was credited with contributing
Speaker 2: to the dramatic dropping crime during the nineties and into the,
Speaker 2: two thousands which sort of worked for a, little while
Speaker 2: and then it stopped working the zero tolerance because it
Speaker 2: looked really overly aggressive zero tolerance and stop and disproportionately
Speaker 2: affecting so called. Minority communities and Even in, gladwell's BOOK
Speaker 2: which i think Was Called The, tipping point later walked
Speaker 2: back his support of citing unintended. Social consequences but it
Speaker 2: just goes back to one of the topics we're talking
Speaker 2: about earlier great cities around the world that you, would
Speaker 2: visit and what that looks like when you, GET there,
Speaker 2: i guess is the real challenge for anybody who's doing
Speaker 2: any visiting.
Speaker 1: OR touring i mean a lot of people go THE
Speaker 1: places i dreamed of going to places and they either

Speaker 2: be and i'm keeping It back TO australia because i
Speaker 2: want to take some calls on.
Speaker 6: This as.
Speaker 2: Well OF course see i think one of the highlights
Speaker 2: and we, talk about it but probably.
Speaker 3: Does.
Speaker 2: Not sufficiently really you Go. To the kimberley's that's going
Speaker 2: to be a. Highlight, for anyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah ah well see that's on my LIST of places i.
Speaker 1: LOVE and dislike I. Love the. Kimberleys it's fantastic it's,
Speaker 1: an amazing place Especially the bungle bungles and the. Gorges
Speaker 1: and that but there are two, Places up There Derby
Speaker 1: and fitzroy crossing that are, really really. Shocking You Know
Speaker 1: the derby derby it's probably not A spot because derby
Speaker 1: has got the second highest tides. In the world they're about,
Speaker 1: eleven meter tides and of course when the, tide goes
Speaker 1: out when, it's eleven meters all you got is mud.
Speaker 1: Flats around it So that's. Not derby's fault so, when
Speaker 1: the water when the tide ind. It's quite nice but
Speaker 1: when the, water goes out the, tide goes out it
Speaker 1: goes out for miles and miles and miles and miles
Speaker 1: a mile. And That's it fitzroy crossing on, the other
Speaker 1: Hand Now. The fitzwoyd crossing, two years ago they had
Speaker 1: a massive flood there and a lot of the town.
Speaker 1: Was badly affected but it's it's got a lot of
Speaker 1: social problems there and, and you know it's it's not
Speaker 1: a nice. Place to visit i've been there a, couple
Speaker 1: OF times and i just, think it's.
Speaker 4: Very.
Speaker 1: Very sad really it's a sat you go there and
Speaker 1: you said that you're sad, to be, there you know
Speaker 1: because you can tell that there's a lot, of problems
Speaker 1: there and it's just it's just one of these places
Speaker 1: where you could you feel that there's no hope, for
Speaker 1: the town if YOU know. What I mean, so i
Speaker 1: mean the Rest of the kimberleys, is just fantastic but
Speaker 1: it's just it's just So sad that fitzroyd crossing is
Speaker 1: basically the, way it is and, it's you know everything.
Speaker 2: CAN be distressing i.
Speaker 1: Agree, with, it yeah yeah the. ULTRA security there i
Speaker 1: Know you love.
Speaker 2: Darwin For example so darwin's norther terurachies obviously had some
Speaker 2: issues over, many many years and they managed. That Pretty,
Speaker 2: well but david a great friend, of this program said
Speaker 2: he wasn't going up there to watch the races. Over

Speaker 1: in darwin. Is absolutely brilliant they grow a lot of
Speaker 1: tropical crops up there and they get a lot of Them,
Speaker 1: from from Karanara from the. Oord irrigation area so and
Speaker 1: of course the seafood up there is just brilliant because
Speaker 1: the waters are. Very very clean but it's. Just the
Speaker 1: atmosphere they've got all these laneway bars and, restaurants and
Speaker 1: stuff and it's just a tremendous place to go and.
Speaker 1: Visit it is it is a. Genuinely beautiful place the
Speaker 1: harbor front. Is just lovely they've got a lot of
Speaker 1: restaurants and the, hotels around there and you can swim
Speaker 1: there because they've got. The area knitted because The thing
Speaker 1: that pete stops you from swimming up, there isn't, sharks
Speaker 1: it's crocodiles as. You would know but you can swim
Speaker 1: in a couple of, places up there and some of
Speaker 1: the places to go when, you're up there it's always
