<v Speaker 1>No, it wasn't me. It was my elderly grown parents.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:43.440

<v Speaker 1>Every year I travel from Victoria to Queensland or Darwin

<v Speaker 1>vegetables in under the bonnet of.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Their car.

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Because they grew their own fruit and vegetables and they

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>weren't going to part with them at the checkpoint.

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 3>So where would they hide them around the car? Oh?

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 1>They hide their pumpkins around the radiator and any knocking

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>cranny that hide.

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Their inner card boarder. There's no room. Everything's crampy, bloody great.

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Pump The officers at the you know the straight line,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they would go through the car they would go through

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the caravan. They would never find groma and.

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Grandpapok bloody grape pumpkin under the bonnet.

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Radio no idea.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I know they got away with it, all the bogies.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Very much. You call no I think Linda, Good.

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Morning, Linda, Good morning, Christian. How are you?

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm good Linda. So smuggling was it you?

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 4>It was my father, the smuggler.

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 3>What did he try and smuggle?

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 4>So he he's a pigeon flyer back in the UK

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 4>and when he came to visit me in Australia, he

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 4>smuggled back six pigeon eggs in an egg carton, wrapped

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 4>in cotton wool and he had to turn them every

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 4>two hours on the plane. And he now has baby

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 4>pigeons that he flies back in the UK.

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 2>So hang on a minute, right, So, because people might

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 2>not know this, but in the UK, especially up north

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 2>where you're from, I can tell me an accident pigeon

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>fancying and flying. They competed called pigeon fences. Mike Tyson

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>does this when he's got these coops as well. They

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>raced them.

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 3>So did your dad race them?

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, so they're racing now. Yes. So he actually they

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 4>actually hatch did the eggs because he turned them every

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 4>two hours on the fly in the toilets. And now

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 4>he's got baby pigeons.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 3>This is amazing. It was like a hen, sort of

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 3>mother hen.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>For the eggs he put.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 4>He put them in an egg carton wrapped in cotton

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 4>wool and smuggled them in his backpack and then he

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 4>went into the toilets every two hours on the fly, an.

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Egg cart and going in to the toilet every two hours. Yet,

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>what does that do?

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>And so when he came to visit you, they hatched

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>his The pigeons were born in Australia.

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 4>They was born in Australia. So he was sitting in

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 4>my garden having a cup of tea, and then he

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 4>saw the pigeons flying around. So he got in the

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.919
<v Speaker 4>car and followed where the pigeons were to what house

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 4>they was at, knocked on the door, had a few

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.680
<v Speaker 4>chats with him and a couple of cups of tea,

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.079
<v Speaker 4>and said do you mind if I take a few

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 4>eggs and he was like no, no, of course. So

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 4>he brought them back to my house and I was

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 4>like what are you doing with them? And he was like,

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm taking them back to the UK and he did.

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 3>So they were born.

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>So he took them back to UK and then that

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>they're hatched and then he starts racing them in competition.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, so he put them underneath his own pigeons

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 4>in the shed so that they hatched, and then he

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 4>hatched them and now he races them pigeons.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 3>Those pigeons don't know they've got Australian kids.

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 4>They have, Yeah, they have no idea.

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>It could be on like a pigeon version of who

0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:03.560
