<v Speaker 2>unsure to go on a tag along trip with Victor, Well,

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I saw it in first. I saw it first hand

0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>yesterday as I bumped into his crew, Tom and Dawn

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>running leading the charge as they were leading a convoy

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>of four wall drives. Victor, jeez, I can drink Hello.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 4>How are you going up in the kimbley? Mate?

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Mate? I'm loving it here, Victim.

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I've got to say to you, we did bump into

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 2>your crew yesterday and we then saw them last night.

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>They took up half of the Big Garden. But I'm

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>sure how many of them were actually I'm not sure

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>if they were drinking, and we left them with their

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>own devices. But we did have a yarn with Tom

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 2>yesterday and I did tell you. Look, I'm not sure

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 2>whether Vic mentioned you a bit your pay rise you're getting,

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>but he didn't mention.

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 3>I hope I haven't. I hope I haven't spilt the secret.

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Uh, well, it will be. It will be a certain

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 4>definitely a big surprise to Tom if you get the

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 4>pay rise. He knows how tight how tight I am.

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 3>You almost said it.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 4>Look, they're having a fantastic time up in the Kimberley,

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 4>as I am absolutely certain you are. We've had a

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 4>couple of conversations through the week. It is a magnificent

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 4>part of the country, isn't it.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh Look we look are you?

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You and I have spoken about this place many times,

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 2>and you've spoken about it up here and basically hainted

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>a picture because I mentioned earlier it's I guess it's

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>a bucket list destination for all caravans, camp and trailer

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>towers and travelers and tourists. And you know I've never

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>been up here. You've been a great help when on

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the serious in the Fedgan department. You have been a

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>great help by sending us a lot of information, a

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of things to make sure we do way to

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>go places to see which our producers have been coming

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>through and for os FRO TV. But I've got to

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 2>say to your VIC yeah, it is an amazing place.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>What is I find very refreshing is the amount of

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>people doing it this morning where we are camp now

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>we are camped at Drysdale Riverside Station, and the place

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that was full of caravans and tents and roof tents

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>and camps, it's now empty.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 3>As I'm sure we'll be.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Talk to them.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I've spoked to a couple of listeners here too, but

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I've got to say to you that. But then this

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>afternoon roll in again and fill this place up. It

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>certainly that's what seems to happen in these places. We

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>stayed at a place the other night to Home Valley Station,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>which was fantastic right there at the eastern end of

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the GiB You're beautiful, went to the Bungle Bungles VIC

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Cathedral gorge.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 4>Seriously, isn't that amazing? Yeah?

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>And look, but you stop at them.

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm just going to say for our listeners that haven't

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 4>been there. Cathedral Cathedral chasm or gorge is a huge

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 4>cave basically, isn't it. I mean yes, because about what

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 4>five six houses may be bigger and with a nice

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 4>little pond, lights, little lake down there in front of it.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Sandy Beach as well, and of course it's in the

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Bungle Bungles right in the heart of that fantastic be

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 4>high formations. We fow that beautiful orange and oca colored

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 4>rock in that. It is a stunning location for sure,

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 4>as is a lot of that Bungle Bungle area. Mate.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 4>It's just yeah, I must see location for.

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure, unbelievable.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And that big pond of water you're talking about, you

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>can when you look up at the at the rock walls,

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>you can see where the waterfalls run down into there

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>that area during the wet season.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you wouldn't believe it.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 2>And I recorded a chat with Miles who is the

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 2>manager of the Bungle Bungle caravan park.

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 3>That place. I don't know if you stay there, that

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>is unbelievable.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 2>There, that is that is your true definition of an

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 2>outback caravan park.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Right at the entrance to the road that goes into

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 4>the Bungle Bungles. Yes, a lot of people use it

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 4>with the big vans and that because you can't take

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 4>the big vans into the bungle, so they make that

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 4>at their base and there's a magnificent drive into the

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 4>Bungles for sure. Yeah.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure why that rule is in place about

0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>dual actual vans going in there, but anyway, but what

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I've got to say that you can see where the

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 2>water runs into that, into that cathedral. But what what Miles,

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>people will hear this that on Australia Day because when

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 2>the wedding is on, there's only him and.

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 3>His wife back there.

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, So there's a ranger in the Bungles Bungle, in

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the sorry in the Perlu National Park as a ranger,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 2>and then there is at the Caving Park there is

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Beck and Miles. What he does is he goes in

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:28.119
<v Speaker 2>to Cathedral Gorge on Australia Day and plays Australian songs

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 2>on his guitar, just him and his missus.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, and the echo and the acoustics that would

0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 4>be fantastic, unbelievable.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>But imagine he has the whole entire National Park to himself.

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Pretty good one today. Yeah, so fantastic part of the

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 4>country made and you've scratched the surface of it. But

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 4>there's a lot more you're going to enjoy over the

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 4>next couple of weeks. I'd imagine. I believe you've got

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 4>a crew going up to Mitchell Falls and as we

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 4>as we speak, the road up there, unfortunately from Dry

0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 4>South Station towards Kongbloo is still closed as a result

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 4>of the rain that they had there a couple of

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 4>weeks ago. But you've you've something, you've conned your way

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 4>onto a leak off or something, isn't it.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we have with a big CHECKVIC and when

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>there was no conning involved, what we wanted we wanted

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>to well, we wanted to film. We look, we've had

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I was afraid. TV has a few sponsors. We don't

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>mention them here because it's a separate thing. All that

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 2>club four by four also sponsors it. But basically we

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>wanted to film from the top of the falls. But

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>we just thought that would be amazing footage to put

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 2>that on TV, to put that on TVV and you

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 2>wait till you see the footage that we've got. We

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 2>got to that chasm in the National Park and you

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 2>had to be there right on midday to get the

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:54.359
<v Speaker 2>right light.

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 3>Through the chasm.

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, we were.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>We were set up make camera waiting and you said,

0:06:59.920 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I've looked at it already and I've just gone wait, wow,

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 2>So people are going to see this on TV. We've

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 2>taken this thing to a whole, a whole other level.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>And so what we did, Vic, we wanted to get

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>up there and film up the top there, So so

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>we did. We charted a plane and a helicopter. So

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, so basically we and obviously you know that'll

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>come straight out of our budget. But at the end

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of the day week well, I actually rang my partner

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>back of I was afraid, I think we should do this.

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>He said, that's your call. You've got the money in

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the budget, just do it. So and it's a long

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.640
<v Speaker 2>way to come not to at least cature it. So

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I sent my young bloke. He was the co pilot

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>in the passenger seat of the plane. They're up there

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>out there as we speak, VIC, fluid look and then

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 2>they fly to some somewhere land that then hop on

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the helicopter. So I sent the young bloke, I said, So,

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>I said, the young bloke, the cameraman, the camera assistant,

0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and as a bit of a treat I sent me

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>as duck as well.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 4>Do don't you as you're trying to get in the

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>good books after all the bad things. Listen look for

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 4>our listeners say. It's not something that they can't do either.

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 4>When you get into the when the road opens and

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 4>you can drive right up towards the Mitchell Falls, which

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 4>you can do. It's a bit of an intus road,

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 4>but a good four drive set up can do it.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 4>You can do the walks into Mitchell Falls and you

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 4>get the same vision from the top of the falls

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 4>when you do that. But there is a helicopter Hell

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 4>Works I think it is, that operate out of there,

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 4>and of course it costs a bit of money cup

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 4>hundred dollars and they can fly you either in or

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.959
<v Speaker 4>fly you back out, or fly you both ways if

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 4>you want. So it's still there for our listeners and

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 4>anyone who's driven all the way out and Tom will

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 4>be doing that with our crew, and you know he's

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 4>done the flights into the bungles because they were there

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 4>a bit earlier than you and they couldn't get into

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 4>the bungle so they flew in and ye look at

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.719
<v Speaker 4>cost money, but you know you try and offer elicopters

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.520
<v Speaker 4>that work costs.

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well the flights there in the we saw all

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>that happening, and it certainly and look at and look

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>people will say, you know, people say, oh, there's some

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>of the things up there expensive. You've got to remember

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 2>they operate for four to five months of the year

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 2>best exactly, and then they claim one hundred percent. So everything,

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>all the services, all the goods that you're buying and

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>using here has to be trucked up here, which is

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>an amazing expense, I mean, to be huge.

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Ye.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Then imagine having a business when you're in your freight

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.960
<v Speaker 2>expenses and transport costs are higher than the average, and

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>you're only opening your business for four to five months

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 2>of the.

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Year, I mean.

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 4>And a lot of those places mate like station and

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 4>it probably still is that their power is off diesel generators,

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 4>that's right. You know, that all cost money. When we

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.079
<v Speaker 4>were down in the malley last week, you know, we

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 4>were talking to one of the local station hands and

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 4>he said he spends two thousand dollars a day on

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 4>one machine on diesel when they're playing on the fields.

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, So it's it's hard for us to comprehend

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 4>that that kind of expenditure, and that's that's not you know,

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 4>they're not doing it the expensive way, They're doing it

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:11.400
<v Speaker 4>the best way they can. And that's the cost of stuff.

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 4>So you know you're right when when people say, oh,

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 4>it is it cost a lot to get an helicopterne Well,

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 4>like I said, were you own well and see what

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 4>it costs?

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, somebody actually said there are two people this morning

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>asked me. They said, what is that noise over in

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the distance, But that's the generator that's powering this place. Yeah,

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 2>that's right, And I said, it was not not noisy.

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>We camped away from it obviously, but it's not it's

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>not that noisy anyway. But I mean, yeah, that's right.

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>That all costs, I mean, the proces of diesel. It

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 2>was just incredible anyway, victim. But it was good to

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 2>bump into your crew yesterday up here and you could

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>just see the way they operate.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 3>They pulled over, they made sure your group was together. There.

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>There was a bit of traffic on the GiB as

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.839
<v Speaker 2>you'd expect, and a couple of cars may have got

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 2>in between, and obviously you've got to keep your distance

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>from the vehicle in front of you. You have no choice

0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>in that because of the dust, extremely extremely dusty. But

0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 2>they seem to be doing a great job. And I

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>can tell you again this is.

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 3>No word of a lie.

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Everybody when we pulled up at this rest stop, they

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 2>pulled him behind us. Everybody had a smile on their face.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's good the money I go and played off

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 4>well done.

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 2>That was because they met It was because they met

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 2>me with Tom.

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to say to you, true that you were

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:18.960
<v Speaker 4>getting selfies with people.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 2>I have had one hundred in the last three weeks.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 2>But I'm going to say this to you, Vic, Vic.

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say the stuff I said to them

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>made last All those customers that were on this trip

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>are looking forward to that bonus trip next year as well.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.199
<v Speaker 4>So that you're going to leave at your expense.

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 3>That I promised them on your behalf, On your behalf.

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't care what anyone else is about. I still

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 4>hate you, but no, you.

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Definitely are the best in the business. And I saw

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>it first hand yesterday. Well, they made in. Your crew

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 2>looked happy. They were all sitting together having dinner last

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>night in the facility here, which I'm.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Sure was part of it. And and they.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>And look they've left the swan of even see them

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>dry out. But certainly it was good to bump into

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 2>a mate.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh it was great. And look, you know, as I say,

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 4>the Kimbley is just a magic part of the country.

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 4>It's a long way away from the East coast. It's

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 4>certainly something that most people have on their bucket list.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 4>And you know, as you and I keep saying, you've

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.280

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:37.440

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.160
