1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: As I mentioned a little earlier and you've probably heard

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: as well with Dan and Lee Shan Bricky that there's

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: some exciting news at the Territory Wildlife Park with the

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: launch of their new trains happening this weekend. There is

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: a big unveiling planned for Saturday and the entry to

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: the park is going to be free from nine am

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: until twelve noon. It is very exciting stuff. Now joining

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: me live on the line to tell us a bit

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: more about what's lined up. Territory Wildlife Park Director Rob Hall.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: Good morning, Rob, wedding Katie. How are you doing?

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, really good. Tell us a little bit more about

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: what's going on for tomorrow.

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: On exciting day. And we've just said an exciting morning

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: actually with the media here launching our new trains. So yeah,

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: our all diesel engine trains are moving into retirement shortly

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: and we found a fantastic new modern technology, green energy

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: solution that we're rolling out, so we're launching those to

18
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: the public tomorrow.

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, those people love those trains out there, so what's

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: the difference. What's it going to be like?

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: Way more comfortable. They're going to love these even more

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: so the old units. I think we've got to look

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: at it twenty years old and definitely in need of

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: lots of ongoing repairs and maintenance. And vehicle gets old,

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: you've got to look at modern day solutions to replace.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: And the new ones have definitely got more comfort, better

27
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: features than the old ones, and of course being a

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: green energy that just takes a lot of boxes in

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: the world today.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: Now what do they look like? Paint a bit of

31
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: a picture for us.

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: Smaller in appearance because they're lower to the ground. Everybody

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: knows I've good old diesel trains. They were quite a

34
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: climb up, so you had to climb up one, two,

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: three little steps to get to the seats up top there.

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: These ones are closer to the ground, so nice little

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: sort of easy foot up and in. They've got the

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: little doors on the side, so similar concept. Insight bench

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: seats seating four in a row and the total total

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: capacity up to seventy four. And we've got all the

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: trailers attached, little fans inside. So in fact this morning

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: we just had the Berry Spring kids there and that

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 2: they reckon is the best feature. Having the fans inside.

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: Oh that's also really cool. Tvah so and CCTV closing

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: doors locks just fast, safer and way more user friendly.

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: And they're sheltered from the elements as well, aren't they. Yeah.

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So with the doors closing the sides obviously elect

48
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: protections there compared to the old ones that were always

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: open lower to the ground, doesn't pick up as much

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: inclement weather from the sides. And then we've got these

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: lovely little pull down blinds that are almost like an

52
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: insect style goree. So what it does it stops the

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: driving rain. It allows the ventilation to continue in the unit,

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: because if we had to close it up totally, it

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: was just become quite a sweet box. And they work

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: really well. I've got to say the temperature control in

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: those it's ue comfortable.

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Well, that is good to hear. So are people going

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: to get the chance to farewell the old trains?

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that's what tomorrow is about. So earlier on

61
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: you you alluded to our open day that's happening. We

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: have got a cap on that. So everybody must remember

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: if you haven't got your free ticket through event right,

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: you go on the event right and through our socials

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: that's where you get your free ticket, so you're registered.

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: Because we need to cap it. Obviously, we can't have

67
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: two three thousand people coming through the park because in

68
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: it's overload, so we have got a capacity on that,

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 2: so you don't make it on Sunday. Definitely, all those

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: family members of their annual passes don't forget to come

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: out and support us this February because they're exciting. The

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: kids today absolutely love them. So the day tomorrow is

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: really an open day where we get to write on

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: the new ones and then still have the big ones

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: in circulation for everybody to enjoy as well. So hello

76
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: to the new and goodbye to the old.

77
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: Oh, wonderful stuff and anything else exciting plan for the

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: Wildlife Park throughout the year. I know there's always exciting

79
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: stuff out there that the kids and adults enjoy.

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know those are our usual events that

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: we definitely try and put on, and that's the Eastern

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: Markets will be coming up again, which everybody looks forward

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: to later in the year. Of course, our good old

84
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: Halloween events are really popular one. And then we've always

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: got different animals coming in on the scene and something exciting,

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: you know, from birth or new animals coming through. So

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: there's always always something going on. But I think this

88
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: one's a great one for our Darwin community. There's seventy

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: percent of who support us and so important to us.

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: So we've really thought closely about it with what we've

91
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: done with these trains, and I think they're going to

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: love it and we look forward to to showing those

93
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: off to everybody when they come through.

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Oh wonderful stuff. All Territory Wildlife Park Director Rob Hall
