00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: always nice to go into a regional town. I like

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 3: riding a motorcycle through a regional town. You know, you

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like looking at the little regional shops. If

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: there's a little gallery or a little jewelry shop or

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,040

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: You never know what you're going to find. And there

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: are many great towns in our country. Port Stephens has

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: taking the crown for the twenty twenty five Ossie Town

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: of the Year.

Speaker 2: Tell me exactly where this is. Let's let's give people

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: an idea of where Port Stephens is.

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: It's New South Wales, yes, Newcastleway.

17
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,040

00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Late mcquarry. Then Port Stephens.

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Beautiful and why is it one?

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: It's one because seventy eight percent of Australian plan to

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: travel to Port Stephens. That's a lot of pressure on.

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 2: The era infrastructure, the local fish and chip shop. Yeah,

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: I imagine I have to get a new Bain Marie there.

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: Yavan crack up the other base.

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: They got enough public toilets and you.

27
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: Get two pie worms on for that one. It's a

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: great tamport Stephens. I haven't only spent much time there.

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: I was got obviously seventy five percent of Australian's plan to.

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: Seventy eight percent.

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: I always remember when I was a kid, I went

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: to Southwest Rocks. That's great. You ever been to Southwest Rocks?

34
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: See? Because I didn't grow up in Sydney or in

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: New South Wales. As a child, we never ventured around there.

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: And then when I did move to Sydney when I

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: was about ten, I think all our relatives lived all

38
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: around Australia, so every holiday we just traveled to see them,

39
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: so we never explored much.

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: Did you fly or drive?

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: We drove? Yeah, we drive low and I used to

42
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: get castick every time and Mum would have a bucket

43
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 2: of lollies between her feet and she just chucked it

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: over the over his shoulder to us. When we were younger,

45
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: she used to give us tubes of condensed milk to

46
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: suck on. I wonder, I've got a million holes in

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: my teeth.

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: That's well, you got one too.

49
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: So we'd empty the bucket of lollies. Then I'd spew

50
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: in it for the rest of the trip.

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: So I was like, what a bucket of ice cream container?

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: That would be the plimsile, that would be your your

53
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: destination traveled mark.

54
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: You knew you were halfway there when I'd half filled

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: it with vomit.

56
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 3: I always remember Southwest Frox because I used to there

57
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: was two there was two fairies that had washed up

58
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: on the beach that would just come out of the sand,

59
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: and as a child, i'd walk from where we were staying.

60
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 3: I only went there once and haven't been back since.

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: And I remember walking from a vivid memory or had

62
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: a bit about eight or nine, walking across the sand

63
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: dunes and to the ferry and then walking back. And

64
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: it was my first encounter with a topless woman.

65
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: I encounter to find encounter. I mean, you saw I

66
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: came across her. I saw, yeah, I.

67
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: Was coming out of the dune and there she was

68
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: with her friend, were both topless, and I just walked

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: and they said hello. I went hello, And it was

70
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: just so I don't really remember much of it. I

71
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: just remember thinking I'd never seen a topless woman outside

72
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: my mother before in the.

73
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: Flesh when I was a similar age. I lived in

74
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: Perth for two years between those about seven and nine,

75
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: and I often thought I'd imagine this, but I've had

76
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 2: it validated since that. We went to Albany. Is that

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: down south in Western Australia were Albany there used to

78
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: be a whaling station and my brother and I were

79
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: walking along and saw a whale carcass being flends. No, yes,

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: And I thought I was imagining it. And I once

81
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: spoke about this on the radio many years ago and

82
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: people phoned in and said, yes, at that era that

83
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: whaling station was still.

84
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: I think they were late to stop whaling over there

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: in Western Australia. I was in the.

86
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: Seventies, I was whaling. Imagine the noise of the whale was.

87
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: I was about to say that, what are you highlander?

88
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: You went back and you saw you saw a topless woman.

89
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: I saw a whale being flamed. Why didn't that win

90
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: town of years?

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: Choose your own adventure, kids, which path would you rather

92
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:10,280

00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: Okay, kids, that's it for today.
