32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: news that the fireworks have been canceled. So what they do?

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: The fireworks were coming from Sydney Harbor on a barge

34
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: and they take the barge out through the heads, go

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: around to Port Hacking and then they put her off

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Cronola beachs there but the seas were too big to

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: get out. Suddenly came through. Yes, I had to deliver

38
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: that news, so I said, I look, good news and

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,840

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: the big seas outside their heads. And I said, fun fact,

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: in seventeen eighty eight, two hundred and thirty six years ago,

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,520

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,079

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,079
