Speaker 7: lot of wonderful memories. I know you go to ask

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 7: me how it all came about, and it came about

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 7: because through one man, really, and anyone who in Perth

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 7: or most people in Perth over the age of fifty

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 7: will remember a wonderful Verston called Brian Treasure. Brian Treasure

29
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 7: was actually worked at the West Australian and when the

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 7: television came on board in Perth in eighth Thing, it

31
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 7: was Wests Newspapers had a chunk of the shareholding and

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 7: they set up an independent company obviously to run seven

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 7: and the head of it was Brian Treasure was the

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 7: general manager. And he was just fantastic. He was a

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 7: phenomenal go getter and he sort of was behind the

36
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 7: likes of the big telethon the street parades. He was

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 7: still everything, obviously, and he was my mentor actually, because

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 7: my father died at a relatively young I was relatively young.

39
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 7: He was sixty nine nights in my twenties early twenties,

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 7: and Brian took me under his wing and he was fantastic.

41
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 7: And I always bringing a lot of shows to Australia

42
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 7: in general, and we did original tour of Disney on

43
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 7: parade in a big tent when we produced a big

44
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 7: tent because there were no venues at all in Australia

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 7: and Brian said, okay, next time we did this, we're

46
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 7: going to build an entertainment center. And he was behind

47
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 7: it all. And initially it was going to be at

48
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 7: the showground and Ryan said, no, no, we don't be

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 7: at the showground. We wanted to be down there, right

50
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 7: there where it was down there and you know, in.

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: A great spot.

52
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 7: And yes, he was behind and he got it going.

53
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 7: We were close together, obviously, very close together, and that's

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 7: how that's how it all began. And it actually we

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 7: actually as a rehearsal, it actually brought out what was

56
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 7: then the Olympic gymnastic team from Russia with that little

57
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 7: Olga Corbett who was the first the very famous female

58
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 7: gymnasts that performed amazing things. And then we hit it

59
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 7: with the with the opening, the official opening with Disney

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 7: on Parade and it.

61
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Went on from there just incredible.

62
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 7: And then of course, I mean, of course all the

63
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 7: other I think that I think New South Wales never

64
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 7: was behind that in Sydney for the Sydney Entertainment Center

65
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 7: and we were involved as well initially, and they sprung

66
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 7: up all over the country and Brisbane. I left Perth

67
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 7: and in nineteen eighty. Never would have left Perth, but

68
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 7: it was doing so much at the time and either

69
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 7: traveling from Perth to Melbourne or persa Cydney once a week,

70
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 7: and anyway, moved over to Sydney and had a long

71
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 7: behold on the half of there. It wasn't particularly happy,

72
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 7: didn't like Sydney much and was making a was making

73
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 7: a mood on the Gold Coast and I spent a

74
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 7: year going back. Was unforted to the Gold Coast for

75
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 7: were making this film called Some people made it a

76
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 7: call called a Cool and get a Gold and it

77
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 7: became quite of a cult film actually, and they still

78
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,559
Speaker 7: held the race today. We invented that race to Couldn't

79
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 7: get a Cold? Oh yes, for the film West. We

80
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 7: did it for the film. And anyway, I love my purpose,

81
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 7: my first love. But why I left Perth but because

82
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 7: of travel all the time, as I said, and also

83
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 7: the timeline whereas here. So we ended up moving to

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 7: Gold Coast and we've been here ever since and it

85
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 7: was great and I brought up a family here and

86
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 7: it was it's a wonderful place to be. I think

87
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 7: the gods put the best place in Australia and there,

88
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 7: so yes, we had some amazing things. I remember when

89
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 7: we brought the first international circus program to one of

90
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: the international service programs to Australia and a line got

91
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 7: out backstage and this never made the press because we

92
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 7: hushed it up and the line was running around, running

93
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 7: was running around backstage, and we eventually yeah, and we

94
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 7: eventually caught it, caughting it off into a room and

95
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 7: the handles got around of it. There's a lot of

96
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 7: eventful things happened at the events at the center. It

97
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 7: was it's a great say. I mean, it's like it's

98
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 7: like you know, when you look at highs if we

99
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 7: shue builder thirty forty thousand d W, you can't see

100
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 7: that far ahead. And it certainly served as purpose and

101
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 7: it was great for the people at Perth. I mean

102
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 7: we just hit a million people at that point and

103
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 7: we opened it was a million people in Perth and

104
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 7: it was perfect at the time. And we designed it

105
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 7: and we designed it in a whale though where we

106
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 7: don't forget, person didn't have any particularly good theaters as such,

107
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 7: this is a good one now at the casino, but

108
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 7: then it was, and so we designed it in a

109
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 7: way that you could do theatrical productions at I mean

110
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 7: not rock and all. I mean we had ballet there

111
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 7: and we had Rude Off ray Fair. We had big

112
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 7: ballet companies there and although it wasn't perfect for ballet,

113
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 7: it was better than that particular ballet not coming to Australia,

114
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 7: not going to Western Australia at all. So you never

115
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 7: would have seen the likes of EUA.

116
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: We would not be able to do and we probably

117
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: wouldn't have seen something like Bob Hope before me and

118
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: I was at that show. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Florence

119
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: Henderson was part of the Yeah, it was incredible.

120
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 3: But Michael, there's a lot.

121
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 4: Of bands, you know, rock and roll bands that we

122
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: would never have seen in the seventeen eighties had we

123
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: not had this state of the art, amazing venue for

124
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: them to perform, because it was hard enough to get

125
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: them to come across the another board.

126
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 7: Well, that was another thing that Brian said, he said,

127
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 7: if we do this, we'll also get I said absolutely,

128
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: because that was an adequate capacity in those days. You know,

129
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 7: to to.

130
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 4: Appease them, yeah, to make it worth their while because

131
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: it wasn't cheap, get you know, to get.

132
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 7: It right for them no, and my father is some

133
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 7: very early years when we were running His Majesty See

134
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 7: it was cheaper to do a tour of New Zealand

135
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 7: with the likes of musical like My Fair Lady that

136
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 7: it was to bring to birth because the same distance

137
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 7: you could get Auckland, Wellington and christ Church. So I

138
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 7: remember my father father putting up some great battles to

139
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 7: convince that my Fair Ladies and the sound of musics

140
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 7: and those genre to come over and play His Majesty's,

141
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 7: which eventually we did.

142
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 8: But it wasn't easy.

143
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: You have a lot of say in the way that

144
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: there was design because I was a nine year old.

145
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: Look at the inside it was like a space.

146
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 7: Yeah we did. I can't remember the architects. Oh yes,

147
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 7: obviously Brian and I sat down over in these plans

148
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 7: listed this list to that, and the other people who

149
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 7: were very helpful in it were the Bull and family,

150
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 7: the Bull and Circus.

151
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,880

152
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 7: They didn't have this pa but coming on it was

153
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800

154
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 7: started after the center. Yes, no, they were still touring

155
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 7: their own or shows too. But when I bought out

156
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 7: the acts, I chose the action like you couldnap. You

157
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 7: didn't have the ability to access information through Internet, et

158
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 7: ceteracidere like putting together a Moscow circus. You know, I

159
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 7: spent over one hundred tips going to Russia and the

160
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 7: Soviet Union, touring all over the place, picking an acting

260
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,480

00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 13: see Death Flippard at the incident, and the girls went

262
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 13: came on the idea, so they all stayed home on

Speaker 13: Seven months in advance, so they got their tickets, they

291
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 3: I heard Joe Elliot's voice in Geralden that night. Ma

292
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: done real. Thanks.

293
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: We had a text from Craig and Bellajuu who says

294
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: I can remember getting to meet to meet low backstage

295
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: at the Entertainment, said a courtesy of ninety six FM.

296
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: So many great memories, and you know, like there was

297
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: a cinema in there at one stage, and there was

298
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 3: Robbo's good was drink? Was it called Loumier? I think

299
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 3: it was in the bottom of some really good.

300
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 4: Remembers going to see cinema parody. So in movies like that, yeah,

301
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: so good. So many beauties, Betty blue Bear, did you really?

302
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 4: I think I may have seen blue velvet there, but anyway.

303
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: Probably did.

304
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 4: They're the kind of movies that you know, slightly don't

305
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: look at me, not back to the future anyway. Tony says,

306
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: I stood in line with thousands of other people for

307
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 4: Dire Straits Frogs in Arms Tour. The tickets were going

308
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 4: on sale in the morning, but absolutely poured down and

309
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: everyone was soaked, so they ended up putting the tickets

310
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 4: on sale at ten pm, all right, to avoid the chaos.

311
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: That's what happened.

312
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 4: I wonder why I nineteen eighty six much sleep we

313
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 4: got in that queue?

314
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: None Jack, because as soon as you start only asleep,

315
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: someone would play something from Brothers in Arms, you know,

316
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: one of the tempo songs.

317
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 4: Exactly the walk of Life. And it'll wake you up.

318
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: Leaenn Thornley has reminded me of Double Take. Did you

319
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: ever go and see Double Taking?

320
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: Of those?

321
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: This is when they'd have a movie playing and it

322
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: would usually be some kind of B grade shlock movie,

323
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 4: and then these comedians would be down the back doing

324
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 4: the voiceover, dubbing us or double Take versus Hercules as

325
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 4: I recall Mary Coustas aka Fish, she was part of

326
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: the Double Take team. Tony says, I was the food

327
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: and beverage manager for twenty years until it closed.

328
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: You knew when it was a.

329
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: Good show because there'd be bits of concrete on your

330
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: desk up for the shot.

331
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: Great said it.

332
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: If it registers on the Richter scale, it's a particularly

333
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: good show.

334
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: It is a big night. Now your phone's open as well.

335
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 3: Inten sixty five and someone who's called that is Jimmy

336
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: from Ellenbrook? Can I Jimmy one of your Entertainment center memories?

337
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 16: I remember it would have been about nineteen ninety three,

338
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 16: maybe nineteen ninety.

339
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 17: Four, Bon Jovie, keep the Safe Tour. I was only

340
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 17: youngster at the time, probably twelve or thirteen years old,

341
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 17: when with a mate and his dad, I probably wasn't

342
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 17: accustomed to being up that late at that age and

343
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 17: actually tell asleep during the gig.

344
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 18: Did so.

345
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 17: Had we had seats, and I remember I saw.

346
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 16: Not at off and it was during that title track

347
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 16: Keep the Faith, And there's that moment there in the course,

348
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 16: got to Keep the Faith bang and there was a

349
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 16: big Piro explosion or something, and again I jumped straight

350
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 16: out of my feet, try to pretend I hadn't been asleep,

351
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 16: you know how everyone was on their feet, and I

352
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 16: remember it vividly because it was actually coincided with the

353
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 16: product launch of Petsy.

354
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 3: Mat No I am okay.

355
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 19: Yeah.

356
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 17: So when we were all coming out of the gig

357
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 17: onto the concourse, there there was just every sort of

358
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 17: ten twenty meters there were just palette and palette and

359
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 17: palette of all these cartoons of a she Max cans

360
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480

361
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 17: free sixty next to everyone. So of course, as as

362
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 17: a twelve year old, yeah, I thought I was in

363
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 17: free can of a news soft.

364
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: That worked you up? Then that's the cafe, isn't that funny? Memory?

365
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: Who remembers miss Universe the when the stage collapsed. I

366
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 4: think it was nineteen seventy seven. It just about swallowed

367
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: up Miss Venezuela. I know, but she won, didn't she?

368
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 3: She won? Yeah. Yeah, some of the girls got hurt

369
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: and it was It was not the finest moment, but

370
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: it was certainly memorable. We had one job to make

371
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: your stage safe for the most beautiful woman in the world. Yeah,

372
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: it was a big deal to get it here because

373
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: the American coverage, it was a huge deal.

374
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 20: We didn't get it again. Not funny that I wonder

375
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 20: what I got to say. It was we nearly lost

376
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 20: a couple of countries. They're still doing the cracks. I'm

377
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 20: going to say. My first gig was in the Entertainment

Speaker 3: came out, and they always start with Detroit Rock City

383

385
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: feel the heat on your face through dementary at the time. Yeah,

386
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320

452
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 4: more people than should have been there, because I remember

479
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 9: They had compared Atlanta. Really so my boss was actually

480
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 9: a circus fellow who break both his legs and he

481
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 9: got stuck in pert So he ended up at the

482
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 9: park and he made the biggest difference to it because

483
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 9: he really bought showtime too. You know. Sometimes he did

484
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 9: this stuff almost documentary style, but he bought the sets,

485
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 9: the costumes, the storylines, the whole thing to it. And

486
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 9: I started there on New Year's day in nineteen eighty

487
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 9: two and it was the biggest day ever at the park.

488
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 9: They had seven six hundred people there that day.

489
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a lot of Peter's ice creams to be sold,

490
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: and they did. Yeah, the ice cream parlor. Did you

491
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: have to wear the spoo the sort of space suit.

492
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: It was almost Zigfried and Roy kind of thing. The

493
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 3: white and blue thing with the wings.

494
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 9: We did have. We did have the stay sooner. I

495
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 9: had the Roman you're a toga party guy only no

496
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 9: doubt had the Roman toga thing. And we all had

497
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 9: to have blonde hair. Hair he wanted. He had a

498
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 9: whole science about, you know what, thought the lady should wear.

499
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 9: So there was something there for dad and the boys

500
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 9: had to look good from home. And then there's the

501
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 9: stuff that the kids, obviously, but I did. I did

502
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 9: over two thousand lives those there.

503
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 7: Wow.

504
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 9: Children and animals, which I think they also call ad

505
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 9: lib schools.

506
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 4: They also say never work with either, and you would

507
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: have been comparing when surely some things would go awry.

508
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 9: Absolutely, we used to get bitten sometimes. Oh right, knew

509
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 9: that seals.

510
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 3: Didn't like thunder.

511
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 9: And we would literally be just like you know, like

512
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 9: on edge sort of walking around the stage waiting for

513
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 9: something to happen.

514
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 8: Wow.

515
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 9: Where we had a lady pass away watching the show.

516
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 9: It saved up their money to come and she finally

517
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 9: got there. The dolphins dolphins.

518
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 3: So no, its like a line from Atlanta Boro said

519
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 3: song Wow.

520
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 9: But it was a magic place and I think everybody

521
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 9: that ever went there still has a very significant memory

522
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 9: from from the day they went to the park.

523
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 4: I think everyone wanted to work there. I mean, swimming

524
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 4: with dolphins. What more could you have possibly wanted.

525
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 9: Well, I used to do it after after work. Quite

526
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 9: often you weren't allowed to. You weren't allowed to prompt them.

527
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 9: They come to your better own volition after work. But

528
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 9: I mean I tell dolphins in my arms. Yeah, you

529
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 9: know it's really it's very very touching. Yeah, but you

530
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 9: know the whole time I was there that it was

531
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 9: something that wouldn't last so long. Yeah, doing it so

532
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 9: and we aren't. Fortunately, I don't think it's the right

533
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 9: thing to do.

534
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a lot of time. John on stage,

535
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: they're just worried about falling in Well, I guess that

536
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 3: happened every now and then take the wrong step.

537
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 9: No, I can honestly say I never fell in one.

538
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 3: Never went in the drink.

539
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 9: Your feet, but I did get bitten.

540
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: When you were done.

541
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 9: My mother never kissing.

542
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: Well, I mean they are that sort of level, are they?

543
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 4: You know you would leave work, you'd go out for dinner,

544
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: would you like not order the fish because you said

545
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 4: fish to last a lifetime?

546
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 9: It is there is a non glamorous side to doing that.

547
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 9: It well, and was cutting fish like cutting all the rewards?

548
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: Yes, okay?

549
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 9: And working in winter before we had winter costumes. We

550
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 9: had a policy that if there was even two people

551
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 9: in the park, they would get a full show. And

552
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 9: I've done shows that the rain, the rain coming my

553
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 9: year at right angles. You know, I'm redulsing're sitting, they're smiling,

554
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 9: doing the whole thing. So yeah, okay, it was It

555
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 9: was tough.

556
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 8: It was great.

557
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 3: That's tourism. Those that you've got to keep the green

558
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: on even if you're suffering. The show must go on,

559
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 3: like an episode of White Lotus. The show musk.

560

575
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 4: was no housing, no nothing, limestone. We used to go

576
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 4: to a friend's house in Sorrento when I was a

580
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: no Welcomos or any of Englington, any of those suburbs

581
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: up there.

582
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: Yet so far from there.

583
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: Well, Neptune remains, doesn't he Neptune is still there keeping

584
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: watch over it.

585
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: So I feel as though as.

586
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: Long as he remains there, yeah, there's always a chance

587
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: that maybe one day something will happen, not a dolphins.

588
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: Robot dolphins or something. I think Land his heritage listed

589
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 3: up there as well, so you never know. Oh okay, yeah,

590
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: so I don't know if I could do much to it,

591
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: but a lot of it's been fenced off. My bat.

592
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: We're sending me a couple of photos yesterday, and it's interesting,

593
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: but it's a bit of graffiti on a few things

594
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: for you. The sculptures and the rest of it are there.

595
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 3: Was here, Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah,

596
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: it was one of the dolphins. One of the dolphins.

597
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: Funny how John did so many shows, two thousand shows.

598
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: He knew the name the names of the dolphins all

599
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 3: as soon as he said them. I recognized at least

600
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 3: a couple of them. I think he's talking about the

601
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: list of gladiators.

602
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, all right, we want to hear from you

603
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: with your memories of Atlantis Marine Park. Nil in Mindari

604
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 4: says he used to live in crayfish out of two rocks,

605
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: and the dolphins would come to the boat all the

606
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 4: time and smile and play and just want to feed

607
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 4: of the cray bait, and they'd race to the boat

608
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: from miles away.

609
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 3: They love the fresh hockey from the pots. He says.

610
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: They wouldn't do it now though, although some are still

611
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 4: hanging in the area.

612
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

613
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 4: Happened to the dolphins specifically from Atlantis after turned Yeah,

614
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: they killed, they came.

615
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: They had to do a thing where they put them

616
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 3: in pools, and then after that they had like a

617
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: sea pool kind of thing. That was the original crew

618
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 3: that Neil was probably talking about. And then they sent

619
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: some back out and some lost a lot of weight,

620
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: so they had to get them back in. They ended

621
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: up there at the then at Hillary's and the Yeah,

622

Speaker 25: to know where to sit in the audience to get picked.

633

Speaker 26: You know.

637
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,360

638
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 25: middle of the water and throw my arms in the

639
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 25: air and the dolphins jumped over my head and got

640
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 25: to touch them and feel their skin and their tongue

641
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,240

644
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: spot where they pick you because you were closer the front,

Speaker 3: Back into the wild you were explaining before.

656
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 4: They started by putting them in pools, then moved to

657
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: a sea pen at the marina, and eventually back into

658

Speaker 4: the wild. And some of them, most of them had it, okay,

672
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 15: Now these days, but in recent times. I started up

673
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 15: a volunteer group called tree To seven years ago and

674
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 15: we were maintaining and caring for King Neptune. So the

675
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 15: local developers came through and cleaned him up and got

676
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 15: rid of all the graffiti, and then we as a

677
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 15: team in the local community would maintain his area weed

678
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 15: and plant plants.

679

Speaker 15: Oh yeah, we're very proud of him. Here is a

682
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,400

683
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 15: great childhood growing up with working in Atlantis. I mean

684
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 15: the place could be packed every weekend, you know, every

685
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 15: car park from down the marina to the to the

686
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,719

688
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 15: in town. You know, there's a lot of locals that

689
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 15: we haven't. We haven't traveled far at all.

690
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 4: You'd have been the envy of everyone at school during

691
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: school holidays.

692
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, look, it was. It was a great place to

693
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 15: grow up. It was Atlanta's mark up the Dolphins for

696
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so the words spread and mark were

697
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: Neptune is now is it sort of fenced off so

698
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 3: people can't get to it too easily?

699
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 15: Oh no, No, he's fully acceptable. But when we when

700
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 15: we were looking after him, it was under lock and

701
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 15: we would open the gates on the weekend and new

703
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 15: and then the developers came through, left him in a

704
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 15: little bit of an unsa staked to go neccess. But

705

709
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: What's your memory of Atlantis?

710
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 26: Okay, so when I was ten, my family moved up

711
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 26: there to turop. Yeah, and it was only about a

712
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 26: year before it closed down. So they had an auction

713
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 26: to get rid of all the equipment and whatever else

714
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 26: was left there when they closed down the pool. So

715
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 26: my dad went with his best mate to the auction

716
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 26: and came home so excited and told them that he

717
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 26: bought all the Roman columns around the dolphins pool. And

718
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 26: he was so happy because they would ten dollars each.

719
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 3: Barge.

720
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 26: So I was like, oh, this is i Carnic, you know,

721
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 26: we can I don't know what idea he had about

722
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 26: making his fancy pagola.

723
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: Or something in the backyard. He was so.

724
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 26: Thrilled that he got these Roman columns until he yeah,

725
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 26: until he had to go pick them up and realized

726
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 26: that they were solid concrete done ten of those. I

727
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 26: don't know how how much to wait he had, Yeah,

728
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 26: So we ended up having to pay I think it

729
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 26: was a thousand dollars. Let's yet get them to our

730
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 26: house and then plug them in the backyard. Oh, we

731
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 26: had this pile of ten Roman columns in the backyard,

732
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 26: which we were like, okay, what is he going to

733
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 26: do with them? And no one he tried to sell

734
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 26: them off. No one wanted this. He spent the next

735
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 26: five years digging trenches in the backyard and then rolling

736
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 26: the columns with his big blank of wood into these pitches.

737
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 26: So still to this day, because my mom still lives

738
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 26: up there, we have these ten Roman colins.

Speaker 3: It's a tome capsule.

741
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 27: It is.

742
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 26: Yeah, we're joking in the future, like in another hundred Still,

743
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 26: why are these Roman columns in the backyard?

744
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,279

00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 3: Dollars for gold. He was one eight hundred junk before

749

760
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,640

761
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 4: got in cheaper. So when we got there, I said,

762
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 4: my grandpa said, I'm ten, but I'm really eleven. Okay,

Speaker 3: Good by. What's your Atlanti's memory?

888
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:36,759
Speaker 32: A little bit of a different one for you. But

889
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 32: I don't know if you ever saw the turtle. There

890
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 32: was a very large loggerhead turtle in the sort of

891
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 32: the shark tank there. Yeah, right, front flipper half cut

892
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 32: off and his back rear flipper half beaten off as well.

893
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 3: Oh well, you used to.

894
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 32: Take about four people to list him, and he started

895
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 32: off the sig of an ice cream container because we

896
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 32: found him on the beach when I was the tod.

897
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 9: Yeah.

898
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 32: So he my dad built a five glass pool in

899
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 32: the backyard which we weren't really allowed to swim in

900
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 32: because I had a turtle in it. We back some

901
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 32: sharks and a few different things. So we raised him

902
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 32: for about ten years and finally when my parents I

903
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 32: didn't know what to do with him, so we went

904
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 32: and released him down at Munlou Beach one evening and

905
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 32: within a week he had been caught by a fisherman

906
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 32: in his net. And that fisherman was my godparents' son,

907
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 32: and he didn't know what to do with him, so

908
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 32: he took him to Atlantis, and rumour came back through

909
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 32: that from my godmother said, yeah, we think our son

910
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 32: caught your turtle and took it up to Atlanta. So

911
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 32: we went up there with some photos and things and

912
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 32: met doctor Nick Gale was all things there. He very

913
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 32: famous vet. I think he helped with the transition of

914
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 32: the dolphins. He did Underwater World and yeah, undoubted proof

915
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 32: that this massive loggerhead turtle was our pet turtle.

916
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: Oh wow, what's his name? Robert love It.

917
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 32: It was originally October because we found him in October.

918
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 32: That soon got rid of And so I went down

919
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 32: and stood by the glass as a sort of a

920
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 32: fourteen year old after having known him since I was four,

921
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 32: and he just came up to the glass and just

922
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 32: sat there and with his chest up against the big

923
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 32: window for probably half an hour. And he came down,

924
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 32: and they all came down because they thought something was wrong,

925
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 32: and they saw me and my mum and they went, oh,

926
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 32: my gosh, connecting. They said he never swimming. They said,

927
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 32: that's the first time he stopped swimming. And he literally

928
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 32: didn't laugh until I wow. My mom took a photo

929
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 32: through tears. So I've got a phone, yeah, cuarrying him

986
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 34: Ken and Stafford Bullen, following the closure of Bullan's Circus

987
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 34: and the success of similar ventures in New South Wales.

988
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 4: There were thirty two lions and four cubs in two

989
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 4: separate prides when it opened. The king of the prides

990
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,120

Speaker 4: drive through the park and the lions would come right

995
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 4: up to us and they would bite anything attached to

1014
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 3: Oh, how bizarre, freaky. So what kind of stuff? Very

1015
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: very young, Mark, What were you doing early on?

1016
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 17: I say, when I was younger, I had to chop

1017
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 17: up for the animals, cut up small pieces of meat

1018
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 17: for the lions to feed through the gate. I sed

1019
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 17: the lions in the cage. I cleaned up for the

1020
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 17: circus and there'd be animals, got the circus ready for

1021
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 17: the monkeys, and the monkeys on the horses and loaded

1022
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 17: up there. You know, you stood it up the camels

1023
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 17: and rugged them up and put the little dummies on

1024
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 17: top of them. There was anything you want to know?

1025
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 17: I could tell you some of the weirdest write the stories.

1026
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 17: It was a monkey name there Tebby when he was younger,

1027
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 17: sort of got rejected from his mum to my brother

1028
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 17: Stephen used to keep him in the kiosks and always

1029
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 17: when used to feed him, Petsy, you know, just give

1030
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 17: me a can of pepsi. One day they left. They

1031
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 17: left the kios un lock and he owned every weekend.

1032
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 3: That's an area is preparing. He's saving that. Did any

1033
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 3: of them ever?

1034
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 6: You know?

1035
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: Follow you home, Mark sneak.

1036
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 8: Oh, well, this take on.

1037
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 17: The line cups and bottle feet. Then sometimes when remember.

1038
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: That is unreal? Hey Mark, did it the same? You're

1039
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 3: talking about feeding the lines with the cage, but you

1040
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 3: know you're talking about cars driving through with people who

1041
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of knowledge of wild life and

1042
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. Does it make you just go,

1043
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 3: I can't believe that, but that all happened back then.

1044
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 13: Uh?

1045
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 17: Sometimes yeah, I'm quite surpressed because people would break down

1046
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 17: and because I was the youngest and my brother and

1052
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,799

1070
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 3: there must have been times when the lines are right

1071
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 3: there and you can he's trying to sort out the rope.

1072
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 4: The Safari used to raise money for the Lions Club

1073
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 4: of Wanneroo and the Lion Cubs would often appear on

1074
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 4: telethon and they used to go to different events apparently,

1075
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 4: but we want to hear from you. Let's have a

1076
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 4: look at a text. Mandy in Bellaguri says, I remember

1077
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 4: visiting Bullans at the time. We had a Ford Falcon

1078
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 4: five hundred to dan and we used to cut our

1079
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 4: horse gear around for when we worked and played our

1080
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 4: polo cross horses. So we go into the enclosure and

1081
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 4: stopped as everyone else did that Bullan's next thing.

1082
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 3: We know.

1083
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 4: Next minute we had lines all over our car on

1084
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 4: a boot all around sniffing at the window. And I realized,

1085
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 4: of course, because they found out the lions did eat

1086
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 4: a horse meat and they smelled my dinner.

1087
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 3: So the horse hair was a dead giveaway. Yeahs on wheels,

1088
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 3: I thought, absolutely, it's like before uber eats.

1089
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 4: We've got a text from Melissa Immranguru says I remember

1090
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 4: going on a family out into Bullons and being given

1091
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 4: a bag of food for the so called Jentler animals

1092
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 4: like the goats and the deer, and you drove through

1093
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 4: that area before the lion area, and Dad was freaking

1094
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 4: out because they all right and jumped at the car

1095
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 4: to be fed. Because their hooves would chip and scratch,

1096
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 4: the paint on the kings would not the Kings.

1097
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 3: That was reason for panic, right there. Let's go to

1098
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 3: city beach. Can I tell you're welcome?

1099
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh?

1100

1103
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,440

1104
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 3: And there I was reading.

1105

1107
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 35: in and pecked me on the ear.

1108
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 3: Can you trust well? I was like my childhood's memories,

1109
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 3: not santas.

1110
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 4: No, they are opposite ends of the spectrum, aren't they.

1111
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lion pecking your either yes, not much.

1112
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 3: You left and you pecked your ear.

1113
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 36: Well, No, it's in the gentler section where you just said,

1114
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 36: the gentle section before the section.

1115
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 3: No worries.

00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 9: Hi?

1119
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 15: Look back in the seventies, I was only quite young,

1120
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 15: but we went there as a family, and I was

1121
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 15: just my grandparents and my grandparents. My grandfather was quite proud.

1122
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 27: Of his video recorder, so he literally.

1123
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 15: Got out of his car in the middle of the

1124
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 15: line parks.

1125
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 21: To get a closer shot.

1126
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 15: Of the lines which was sort of resting under the

1127
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 15: tree and then over the loud speaker because they had

1128
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 15: their vehicles going around sort of watching people. This big

1129
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 15: announcement with that idiot.

1130
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 21: Get in his car.

1131
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: Idiot idiot check.

1132
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 29: That was my grandfather.

1133
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 3: And that's how they said it, because I was going

1134
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: to say, pretty stupid thing to do.

1135
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:26,840
Speaker 15: Opening it.

1136
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 3: That's right. It was the seventies. Yeah, a lot of.

1137
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 15: These politically correct in those days.

1138
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 3: We were were we Wow.

1139
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 15: It would have been a bit of a panic.

1140
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you run back? We just walked back like

1141
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 3: a would exactly.

1142
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 17: Remember I thing was just to walk back.

1143
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1144

1146
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 4: the handle of the door and did you just drive.

1147
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 3: A little picture? People push the time for that joke.

1148
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 3: Probably it's funny to push the button there.

1149
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1150
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 3: It was a time with windows when you had the

1151
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: physically wine them there, wind them up because those who

1152
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 3: for those who've never seen that, yes, it was a thing.

1153
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 4: I cannot tell you how many texts we've had some

1154
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 4: people reminding us about the sign at the entry gate

1159
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 3: Jenny, what's your memory?

1160
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 7: My memory is really it's not really about the lions.

1161
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 33: It's it's we went with my parents and I then boyfriend.

1162
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 21: Yeah, and while we were there.

1163
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 33: My boyfriend decided to ask my dad whether he could

1164
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 33: marry me.

1165
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 3: Okay, and my dad said yet.

1166
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 21: But I'm not sure what it was out of fear

1167
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 21: or whether he was okay.

1168
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 3: With its well fed him to the lines.

1169
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 33: Yeah, that's exactly what I think my dad was thinking.

1170
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 33: So about forty seven years later, I was still married

1171
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 33: with two kids and four grand kids.

1172
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: Was wonderful? Love that? Yes? That was that was pretty special. Yeah,

1173
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 3: thanks for sharing. Thanks Jenny. Text line is going off.

1174
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm making my way through the Let's say,

1175
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 4: from some fokes.

1176
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 3: There are a few people like Daktari Tootari was such.

1177
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 3: Can't help do that now.

1178
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 4: The original manager of Bullen's apparently was a bit of

1179
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 4: a seventies character. His name was John Gilbertson. He saw

1180
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 4: the park being built and so we approached the owners.

1181
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 4: No experience, but had a job the next day. Unbelievable,

1182
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 4: This is.

1183
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 3: John was and I was, that's hilarious to me. He

1184
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 3: had a can dog running the safari parts. All right, John,

1185
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 3: you'll learn on the job, which I'm sure he did,

1186
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 3: so many texts coming through.

1187
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 4: Dave in Balcata is another one whose dad got upset

1188
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 4: about the lions rubbing up against his brand new kings

1189
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 4: We all have a Kings in the seventies, because I

1190
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 4: know I went there in the in a.

1191
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 3: Kingswood station wagon with a falcon.

1192
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 4: And Amanda in Queen's Park says she went and her

1193
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 4: brother had just bought one of those polaroid cameras, you know,

1194
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,560
Speaker 4: the instant prints. So he's stopped in the middle of

1195
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 4: the park and a camel trots over, and as they

1196
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 4: drive off, the camel follows. They stopped to get a picture,

1197
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 4: and the camel's still with them, and I think it eventually, Yes,

1198
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 4: the camel stuck its head inside and things look bigger

1199
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 4: through the camera. Yes, so Amanda said, to this day

1200
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 4: they can't talk about a camera without remembering the talk

1201
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 4: about a camel, remembering the window incident disturbing.

1202
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 3: It's a Queen's Rocks morning.

1203
01:00:54,680 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 4: The rain running, Hi, what's your memory story for us?

1204
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 37: In about seventy seven, My mum and dad knew the

1205
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 37: person John obviously it was, and we got a ride

1206
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 37: in the ute that used to see the lines, and

1207
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 37: I remember going in and all these lines came from everywhere,

1208
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 37: and that big one that he was talking about jumped

1209
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 37: on the bonnet and he was straddled across the roof

1210
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 37: and there's this All I could see through was the

1211
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 37: back window and there's this skycrack crouched down with like

1212
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 37: a bucket of meat, just poking bits of meat through

1213
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 37: the holes in the.

1214
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 7: Whole ut was just.

1215
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 21: Rocking, and I just started squealing like a piece.

1216
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 37: And I'm like, let me up, let me up, And

1217
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 37: that's just put his hand on the lot and the

1218
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 37: silly girl.

1220
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 21: No, it's definitely not well for lunch.

01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1222
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 37: Yeah, And I remember the side at the front saying

1223
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 37: tourists on bush bikes free.

1224

Speaker 3: The river end.

1230
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 4: Daredy Gosnell says, my biggest memory of the lion park

1231
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 4: is that every time we went the lions were always asleep.

1232
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 4: One time I remember, a big male was probably fro Ferocious,

1233
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 4: looked over at us with this look of not another

1234
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 4: lot of sticky beaks.

1235
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 3: On his face.

1236
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 4: He then proceeded to lay down at his back and

1237
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 4: spread his legs. All we could see was his private line.

1238
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 3: People.

1239
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:43,000

1240
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 4: part of the education.

1241
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 3: It certainly was John. Just a bit of reminiscing going

1242
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:54,040
Speaker 3: on this week.

1243

Speaker 8: I hate the reminiscent.

1244
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 17: Since I've heard it this morning, I sat.

1245
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 38: Now I've got to bring in.

1246
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to go from Bullands Well.

1247
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 38: By nineteen seventy four, my father just bought a brand

1248
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:11,520

1250
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 38: we've gone to the Fulham Line Park. As we're going in,

1251
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 38: my mum's telling.

1252

Speaker 8: You push the busses.

1254
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 38: Down and wait nerve lines lines open the doors?

1255
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 8: Can they? But way, We've.

1256
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 17: Driven in and it's feeding time.

1257
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 38: The zebra painted land cruisers with the cages anyway, two

1258
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 38: lines have had a fight. They're on two legs on

1259
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 38: the bonnet of our car.

1260
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 3: Ah my god.

1261
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 38: My father has got his hand on the horn, and

1262
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 38: all of a sudden he's driving forward, trying to nudge

1263
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 38: them from because they've got the poor on the front

1264
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 38: wall on the side and bang they've hit the car,

1265
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 38: going into the side of the car. He's yelling horn.

1266
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 38: All of a sudden he's open up. He's opened up

1267
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 38: the door and left the door open and got out

1268
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 38: of the car back then with the bench suits, my

1269
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 38: mother has leant over, pulled the door shut and popped

1270
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 38: the button down locked it out. So I think it

1271
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 38: was just a natural reaction, as I can still remember

1272
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 38: how the screaming was. Oh my god, was deafening by

1273
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 38: her screaming.

1274
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 8: He's got out of the car.

1275
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 38: All of a sudden the land cruiser is at almost

1276

1278
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 38: the side and the two lions at behind my father.

1279
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 6: Touching my father.

1280
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:55,040

1283
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 38: show obviously in the air, they didn't tranquilize that. So

1286
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 38: the door, the doors still opening, his legs.

Speaker 3: Are hanging out.

1288

1351
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 3: Sharon's and kings and Kings were unreal.

1352
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Carolyn Padbury, Carol, what's your memory of the Safari part?

1353
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,719
Speaker 31: Yes, I had we had a comedy van okay, and

1354
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 31: I had my husband and two young children and the

1355
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 31: sister in law from the u K. And I just

1356
01:08:58,120 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 31: I don't know whether you're meant to sort of stop

1357
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 31: the Safari part, but we did briefly and we're looking

1358
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 31: around at the distance of some quite a few animals,

1359
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 31: and all of a sudden, a lion came and jumped

1360
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 31: up on their comby roof and lay there on the

1361
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 31: comby roof.

1362
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 7: I didn't know.

1363
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 21: I thought, this is it, this is it.

1364
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 3: We're all going to be eaten.

1365
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 21: Fortunately we weren't eaten because I thought the ceiling of

1366
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 21: the van may have fallen through.

1367
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 31: Wait.

1368
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 21: So, yeah, that was quite scary, and I was I

1369
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 21: think I was the scariest of us all.

1370
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 33: But yeah, it was good.

1371
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 4: Good after that, great when you survive its hijacks up

1372
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 4: on top of the company is.

1373
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 3: A long way.

1374
01:09:44,800 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 39: That's not just that's impressive than Carol.

1375
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 2: Lost Lost Marks.

1376
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 4: Continuing the series today, we are going to the drive in.

1377
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 4: Outdoor cinemas in Wway date as far back as nineteen

1378
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,480
Speaker 4: thirty eight. They may even pre date the first American

1379
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 4: style drive ins. The first conventional drive in located in

1380
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 4: WA was the Highway in Bentley. It opened in October

1381
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 4: nineteen fifty five with a six hundred and forty two

1382
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 4: car capacity.

1383
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 3: That's quite a lot.

1384
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 4: This started a boom in suburban drive ins, which saw

1385
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 4: a further eight operating by the end of the decade.

1386
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 4: The growth of per suburban drive ins then slow to

1387
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 4: only five more built during the nineteen seventies, with the

1388
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 4: last drive in theater Aceway in Morley, constructed in nineteen eighty.

1389
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 4: In the country areas, the first to open was the

1390
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 4: Oasis in Geralton. The boom years and the country were

1391
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 4: the sixties, which saw sixty one drive ins opened, and

1392
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 4: the Bustleton drive in closed in twenty fifteen after being

1393
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 4: there for fifty five years. The only drive in still

1394
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,560
Speaker 4: going is the Galaxy.

1395
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 3: That's in King's King Kingsley. Yeah, you can still go.

1396
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 3: You can go and see the alien romulus there on

1397
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 3: the weekend. If you can. You can pack the family

1398
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,080
Speaker 3: in the car, not like we used to pack our

1399
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 3: friends in the car. Did you ever do the boot

1400
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:10,799
Speaker 3: or the back seat with the blankets?

1401
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 4: I never went to the drive in in the boot

1402
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 4: because I mean I pretty much only ever went to

1403
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 4: the drive in with my parents. Okay, right, you know,

1404
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 4: friends of parents, family members. I never really went with

1405
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 4: my own friends.

1406
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 3: You never went like on a date and left a.

1407
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 40: Guy stranded up driving feeling like the full branded the

1408
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,839
Speaker 40: food school.

1409
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 3: What will they say, Denny Mo. Yeah, but we just

1410
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 3: did the perfect clime in trouble To. Oh yeah she wasn't.

1411
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 3: I was thirty seven. She was wasn't just so much

1412
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 3: My day are all older than what they were playing.

1413
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 3: But no wonder that the driving thing took off because

1414
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 3: we had the perfect climate for it, didn't we, you know.

1415
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 4: Face just doors suited that lifestyle, you know. But boy boy,

1416
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 4: those things that we used to put on our windows,

1417
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 4: as were you and I were talking about this yesterday,

1418
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 4: how many windows would have got cracked by the weight

1419
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 4: of that speaker hung over the windows.

1420
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 3: I sort of had a clip of the back, but

1421
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 3: they were metal, metal things in a scratchy old speaker.

1422
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 3: And it wasn't surprising that drive ins too cough. Really,

1423
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 3: when you think about it, you think about when you're

1424
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,679
Speaker 3: a kid, how many times did it in summer? You'd

1425
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 3: be so bloody hot in the house, we go, let's

1426
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 3: sit out the back, put the TV up against the

1427
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 3: fly wide doors. So basically it was just a really

1428
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 3: good version of that. It was a glorified version of

1429
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 3: that with it you speaker a twin pole at you know, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

1430
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,559
Speaker 3: I I bored you silly with this story that one

1431
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,599
Speaker 3: of my best mates at school at Greenwood was Skinny

1432
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 3: Ray Leonard. And I don't know why we called him that,

1433
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 3: because I was skinnier. But ray Land's mum was the

1434
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:50,759
Speaker 3: manager of the Moonline drive in and how many times

1435
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 3: on a Friday night in summer we'd go to the drives.

1436
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 3: It was the Moonline in Water had the one road

1437
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 3: through the bush. One rode up, one rode out. Okay,

1438
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 3: So afterwards you try and leave as quickly as possible,

1439
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: or you'd be sitting there for about an hour waiting

1440
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: to get out. Y's just a long que trying to

1441
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 3: get on the water row. Right, there was always a

1442
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,519

1444
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 3: that's quite incredible. It is. But you didn't want the spot.

1445
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:13,280
Speaker 3: There's a bit like the movies. You don't want the

1446
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 3: spot right down the front because you'd be sitting in

1447
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 3: the car looking straight up with the sore neck. By

Speaker 4: the exit gate to get in as the entry was

1471
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,880

1472
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 4: appropriate moments. Well, that didn't work in Smoking the Bandit,

1539
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 41: separate from the actual screen. There was a strip of

1540
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 41: bush between the screen and the fence line. And all

1541
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 41: of those young kids all used to all the ferry

1542
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 41: boys used to go climb up under the fence through

1543
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,240
Speaker 41: the drain, turn all the front speakers up and then

1544
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 41: climb back out and lay in the grasses on the

1545
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,519

1549
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,240

1563
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 4: Going through the pay bit. But they know the other

1572
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 18: It belonged to a friend of my sisters. My sister

1573
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 18: was older than me, so of course me and my friend,

1574
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 18: who were only about twelve at the time, they decided

1575
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 18: to stuff us in the boots of the old Valiant,

1576
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 18: And of course when you went in the driving it

1577
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:45,759
Speaker 18: had the old.

1578
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 8: But the bumps again.

1579
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 18: So they're deliberately flying through the driving me, me and.

1580
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 15: My friends fashing our heads on.

1581
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 3: The boot, so the cards were facing up towards the

1582
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,720

1590
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 23: in in Bentley in the boot of a car driven

1591
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 23: by another friend.

1592
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 4: The ticker guy was very very suss because nothing unusual

1593
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 4: about a girl going to the drive in on her

1594
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 4: own at all. He asked her to open the boot

1595
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 4: because it was very low. She gave the story of

1596
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,160

1597
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 4: the back. She didn't have the key to the boot

1598
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 4: sometimes you needed a separate key back then he so

1599
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 4: he let her in, but he made sure a staff

1600
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 4: member followed her wherever she parked so she couldn't let

1601
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 4: her friends out. After forty five minutes of still being watched,

1689
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 4: Don't remember watching the movie. We were more interested in

1690
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 4: the sites around us. A few of the boys ran

1691
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:18,639
Speaker 4: a muck smoking, fighting, harassing the girls. We were loaded

1692
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 4: back on the bus before the movie even finished and grounded.

1693
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 3: For the next two weeks.

1694

Speaker 4: Sure good memories too, that's great. Someone sent us a text.

1696
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:31,040
Speaker 4: Didn't leave their name, but I love your story. In

1697
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 4: nineteen seventies, I borrowed Mum's Fiat Bambino and went to

1698
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 4: the Ski Kid and went to the Skyline drive in

1699
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 4: and I parked up the back amongst the paddle vands interval,

1700
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 4: came went down to the snack bar, came back to

1701
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 4: where I'd left the car to find it missing.

1702
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 3: It had been moved.

1703
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 4: Further to the front and was now facing backwards.

1704
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 3: That's funny. So some boys have picked it up.

1705
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 4: That picked up his Fiat Bambino and just moved.

1706
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 3: That is God, that's cold and everyone's cracking up. That's hilarious.

1707
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 21: Hi, how are you Goheen?

1708
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 3: What's your memory?

1709
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 36: I actually the driving in Kingsley as kind of like

1710
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 36: my backyard. There was only the fence dividing us.

1711
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 21: Yes, so way back.

1712
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 36: When, so I think my parents would have moved there

1713
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 36: in seventy nine they only did the naughty movies, yeah,

1714
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 36: but later on it was just the everyday features. And

1715
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,760
Speaker 36: when we got a bit older, we used to sit

1716
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 36: on our garden shed and the very back row of

1717
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 36: the driving used to have the old school speakers that

1718
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 36: you put on the Carwen.

1719
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 8: Yes, I still hear it.

1720
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 36: But our favorite activity every summer was to scare the

1721
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 36: blokes who were didn't go to the toilet and would

1722
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 36: pee on the back fence instead, and we had an

1723
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 36: absolute marvelous time. It was a competition to see how

1725
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:08,000
Speaker 36: because our block was a lot higher than the driving block,

1726
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 36: so we could easily stand and look over the fence

01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 36: while they were doing their business.

Speaker 5: flush of Temptation on seven and then everything stopped at once,

1785
01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 5: so I came home to lick my wounds. That I

1786
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 5: went back to the West. I got a gig at

1813
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,479

1828
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:23,600
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't get a chance to forget it

1829
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 5: because almost once every three months I get a package

1836
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 5: want to get rid of it, I know what it's about.

1837
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 5: It's about a demographics. Yes, you know that because you're

1838
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:03,759
Speaker 5: in the media.

1839
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 18: I know that.

1840
01:35:06,080 --> 01:35:10,520
Speaker 5: My following always was actually the older.

1841
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 3: End of the the demographic. Yeah, remember that when you

1842
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:16,280
Speaker 3: people don't laugh.

1843
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 5: No, the youngest generation goes to clear out is a thing.

1844
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 5: You're right if they go to.

1845
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 7: The off shot.

1846
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you studied, love it and you ran out onto

1847
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 3: the set because you were just a fit little man.

1848
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:32,760
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what when you come out and

1849
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:34,560

1853
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 5: This is must win. Not only must we win, we

1854
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:55,960
Speaker 5: must swin by quite a lot. Yes, because I think

1855
01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:57,760
Speaker 5: percentages are setting the play.

1856
01:35:58,320 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1857
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 5: I do have a bit of a I do have

1858
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 5: a bit of a soft spot for free Yes, because

1859
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:10,639
Speaker 5: as a boy I spent many years Saturday afternoon behind

1860
01:36:10,680 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 5: the goals at the hospital and which foxing, foxing up.

1861
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 5: We have a grateful thought called Bernie Naylor. You can

1862
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 5: hear ancient listeners will remember. And I think he still

1863
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:28,360
Speaker 5: holds the record for twenty five goals in a match.

1864
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 3: It was freaky, wasn't it?

1865
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 5: And I would have foxed about half of it.

1944
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 3: are you good. What's your memory? Bob?

1945
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 33: Well, very fond one. I was a friend of mine

1946
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 33: worked on the Wolf and they were unloading the livestock

1947
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 33: carrier and they were unloading our horse and illusion horse

1948
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 33: set to go to El Cabello, and when they were

1949
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 33: unloading it, something happened with the crane jib and the

1950
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 33: crate that the horse was in dropped. It didn't drop

1951
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 33: a long way, but dropped far enough, but it damaged.

1952
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,800
Speaker 3: The fetlock of a beautiful horse.

1953
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1954
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 33: That looked at it and it wasn't like it wasn't major,

1955
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 33: but it wouldn't have been able to do the things

1956
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:44,759
Speaker 33: that it would.

1957
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1958
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 33: So a friend of mine phoned me and said, look,

1959
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 33: it's an insurance case and they're going to put the

1960
01:40:55,120 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 33: horse down because you know when a horse does a

1961
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 33: leg what they do and instead, do you want it

1962
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 33: that on the fucking I can? I can get it,

1963
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 33: he said, We're just going to have to be quiet

1964
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:09,840
Speaker 33: about it.

1965
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 3: Yes, I said, oh my god.

1966
01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 26: Yeah.

1967
01:41:13,439 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 33: The course is probably more experienced than anything I would

1968
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,640
Speaker 33: was ever Anyway, far enough, we brought it back to

1969
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 33: his farm and I would go out. I had three

1970
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 33: kids at the time, but they big off the school,

1971
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 33: so I'd raced down to Gendercot and I was able

1972
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 33: to just sit on this horse fare back, no bridle,

1973
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 33: no saddle, and it would just prance around the padding.

1974
01:41:37,360 --> 01:41:41,599
Speaker 3: Wow, beautiful. Not any people would have had.

1975
01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:42,600
Speaker 15: No.

1976
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 33: It taught me so much stuff. It was way more

1977
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:49,599
Speaker 33: experienced than ever I was. But he was so gentle,

1978
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:54,680
Speaker 33: he was so beautiful and yeah, and of course you

1979
01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 33: know it was the insurance obviously when through, I didn't

1980
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 33: care anyway, I had the horse, and all that time

1981
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:04,879
Speaker 33: he never faltered.

1982
01:42:05,240 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 3: The foot was the.

1983
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 33: Foot was a okay, yeah, I mean I never did

1984
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 33: any heavy work with him anyway.

1985
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1986
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 21: I used to just sit in the paddic bareback, and

1987
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 21: he used to.

1988
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 33: Just wander around and then I, you know, I just

1989
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:24,520
Speaker 33: go and sure enough he just start prancing beautiful.

1990
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 26: Yeah.

1991
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:29,400
Speaker 33: And then after that my kids grew up and I

1992
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 33: had to choose between a solitary life prancing around the

1993
01:42:33,560 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 33: paddock more or looking after three boys and sharing time

1994
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 33: with them. So yeah, so he went in onto another

1995
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 33: place where he lived his life out raising with other horses.

1996
01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 3: He went to the farm, like my mum told me

1997
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 3: my dog did well. No, actually he really went to.

1998
01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 7: What I think.

1999
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:58,800

01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,240
Speaker 3: Atlanta thing we talked about during the week, you know,

2057

Speaker 3: What are your memories?

2064
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:29,320
Speaker 26: Well, we used to go to Alcabelo Blancoat a lot

2065
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 26: when my sisters and now we're younger, and would always

2066
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,360
Speaker 26: go with my grandparents and my parents and have a

2067
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:37,000
Speaker 26: wonderful time. They used to have.

2068
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:41,480
Speaker 5: A swimming pool, I think because.

2069
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 21: We had we were always in our babers when.

2070
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,879
Speaker 26: We but we got to go and pat the horses

2071
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 26: in their stables, and so we went in and we

2072
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:55,600
Speaker 26: started to strike the horses, and then my nana, to

2073
01:46:56,280 --> 01:47:01,000
Speaker 26: her absolute horror, notice that one of the horses was

2074
01:47:01,479 --> 01:47:05,679
Speaker 26: very relaxed and he had a very long schlunk which

2075
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:06,640
Speaker 26: was hanging.

2076
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:11,719
Speaker 3: On the show.

2077
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 15: And so they wished us out.

2078
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 26: Was very very obviously because it was like something no

2079
01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:25,479
Speaker 26: young you know. Yes, the horses obviously were treated really well.

2080
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 26: Because when horses are relaxed, that's what happened. But funnily enough,

2081
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,960
Speaker 26: just last week, my mum pulled out a photograph that

2082
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:38,400
Speaker 26: had been amongst some of my nanna's possessions. It was

2083
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:41,440
Speaker 26: a photo of my sisters and I in our bikinis,

2084
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,480
Speaker 26: soaking wet, patting the horses in the stables.

2085
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:47,559

2089
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 26: you know, a loose place has got to make it

2090
01:47:59,080 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 26: come back.

2091
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:01,280

2093
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:09,280

2094
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 26: and that my mom gave me my sister's nine They
