00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: God Place on the loss lost landmarks.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Pulland's African Lionsafari Park opened on the twenty first of

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: August nineteen seventy one by brothers Can and Stafford Bullen,

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: following the closure of Bullan's Circus and the success of

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: similar ventures in New South Wales. There were thirty two

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: lions and four cubs in two separate prides when it opened.

7
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: The king of the prides became a mostly tame male

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 2: named Ferocious or Fro as he was known. As well

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: as lions, the park was home to monkeys, camels, donkeys, ostriches,

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: Koala's kangaroo, snake's emis in, a variety of birds. Cars

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: and tourist buses would drive through the park and the

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: lions would come right up to us and they would

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: bite anything attached to the vehicles, especially windscreen, wipers and tires,

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: and windows needed to be kept up to prevent them

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: from putting their paws inside or you've got a quick

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: slap from the front seat from roofs everhand could reach you.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: We are going to kick.

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: Things off this morning with Mark Anderson, whose whole family

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: worked at the park.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark.

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: Marke, Welcome, good here, here you go on good.

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: So tell us how it came about that you worked

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: at the at Bulland's.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 5: My brother's thirteen years older than me, and he started

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 5: working there as a hand and then he became the

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: manager for Bull and the Lion park. And literally there

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 5: was my sister, sister and lild Claire, my brother, Craig,

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 5: my brother, and Guy Martin. Then there was Scot he

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 5: was another person that worked down there. The four of

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 5: us were born on the twenty second of February.

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 6: Oh, how bizarre. That's quite freaky. So what kind of

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 6: stuff you very very young Mark? What were you doing

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 6: early on?

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 5: Mostly when I was younger, I had to chop up

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 5: for the animals, cut up small pieces of meat for

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: the lions to feed through the gate. Yeah, I said,

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 5: the lions in the cage. I cleaned up the circus

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 5: and there'd be animals, got the circus ready for the

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 5: monk kigs and the monkeys on the horses and loaded

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 5: up there you know, uh, stood it up the camels

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 5: and rugged them up and put the little dummies on

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 5: top of them. There was anything you want to know,

43
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 5: I could tell you some of the weirdest, greatest stories.

44
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: It was a monkey name there Teppy. When he was younger,

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: he sort of got rejected from his mum to my

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: brother Steven used to keep him in the kiosk and

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 5: always when used to feed him pepsi. You know, just

48
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 5: give him a can of pepsi for one day they left,

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: they left the kios unlocked, and he opened every can.

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 6: Pepsy's preparing he's saving nuts.

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: Did any of them ever?

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 7: You know?

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: Follow you home Mark sneak.

54
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 8: Oh well this take.

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 5: Down the line cups and bottle feet then sometimes and remember.

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: That is unreal, Hi Mark?

57
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 6: Did it the same money? You're talking about feeding the

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 6: lines with the cage? You know, I've been talking about

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 6: cars driving through with people who didn't have a lot

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 6: of knowledge of wild life and all that kind of stuff.

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 6: Does it make you just go, I can't believe that

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 6: that all happened back then?

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: Sometimes, yeah, I'm quite surpressed because people would break down

65
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 5: and because I was the youngest and my brother and

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,920

Speaker 5: as a big line. Well, my brother Steven had a

Speaker 6: Thank you Mark. Incredible, how incredible and so young as well.

90
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 6: And there must have been times when the lines are

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 6: right there and you can you know he's trying to

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 6: sort out the toe rope.

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: The Safari used to raise money for the Lions Club

94
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: of Wanneroo and the Lion Cubs would often appear on

95
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: telethon and they used to go to different events apparently,

96
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: but we want to hear from you. Let's have a

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: look at a text. Mandy in Laguria says, I remember

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: visiting Bulloans at the time. We had a Ford Falcon

99
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: five hundreds down and we used to cut our horse

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: gear around for when we worked and played our polo

101
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: cross horses. So we go into the enclosure and stopped

102
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: as everyone else did at Bullan's next thing, we know,

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: next minute we had lines all over our car bonnet,

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: boot all around sniffing at the window. Yes, and they realized,

105
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: of course, because they found out the lions did eat

106
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: horse meat and they smelled like dinner.

107
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: So the horse hair was a dead giveaway.

108
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: The ear.

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: On wheels, I thought, absolutely, it's like before uber eats.

110
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: We've got a text from Melissa Immranguru says I remember

111
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: going on a family out into Bulleons and being given

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: a bag of food for the so called Jentler animals

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: like the goats and the deer, and you drove through

114
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: that area before the lion area, and Dad was freaking

115
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: out because they all ran and jumped at the car

116
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: to be fed. Because their hoovers would chip and scratch

117
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: the paint on the Kings would not the Kings.

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 6: That was reason for panic. Right there, Let's get to

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 6: city beach, can I tan? You're welcome?

120
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 9: Hi, I was trying to get through yesterday because my

122
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 9: Atlantis memory was actually putting my hand up to you know,

123
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 9: get get patter dolphin, and.

124
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: I am not so much to.

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 10: I got picked to kiss a seal.

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 9: And then I was reading the guy today saying, oh,

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 9: my memory of the Lion Park was actually the window

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 9: going down, and then you came in and pecked me

129
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 9: on the ear.

130
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: Can you trust you? Well? I was like, my.

131
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: Childhood memories not fantastic. They are opposite ends of the spectrum,

132
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: aren't they.

133
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a lion pecking your ear.

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: Yes, not much. You left and em you pecked your ear?

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 8: Well, no, it's it's in the gentler section where you

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 8: just said, the gentle section before the section.

137
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: No worries.

Speaker 11: of his video recorder so he literally.

145
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 8: Got out of his car in the middle of the

146
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 8: line park to get a closer shot of the lines

147
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 8: which was sort of resting under the tree and then

148
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 8: over the loud speaker because they had their vehicles going

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,080

153
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 6: And that's how they said it, because I was going

154
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 6: to say that it was the pretty stupid thing to do,

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,640

00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,080

163
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 8: Yeah.

164
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,080

166
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: and you just drive a little bit, sure, the handle

167
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: of the door push button. The time for that joke probably.

168
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: Be funny to push a button down.

169
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 6: It was a time with windows when you had to

170
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: physically wind them there, wind them up for those who

171

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: which said bombs on bikes, free entry.

175
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,200

187
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 8: But I'm not sure what it was out a peer

188
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 8: or whether he was okay with it.

189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,199

202
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,120

203
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: a seventies character. His name was John Gilbertson. He saw

204
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: the park being built and so he approached the owners.

00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: All right, John, you'll learn on the job, which I'm

Speaker 4: So many texts coming through.

214
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Dave in Balcata is another one whose dad got upset

215
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 2: about the lions rubbing up against his brand new Kings

216
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: Did we all have a Kings in the seventies, because

217
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: I know I went there in the Kingswood station wagon

218
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: with a falcon And from Amanda in Queen's Park says

219
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 2: she went and her brother had just bought one of

220
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: those polaroid cameras, you know, the instant prints. So he's

221
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: stopped in the middle of the park and the camel

222
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: trots over and as they drive off, the camel follows.

223
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: They stopped to get a picture, and the camel's still

224
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: with them, and I think it eventually, Yes, the camel

225
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: stuck its head inside the car and things look bigger

226
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 2: through the camera. Yes, so Amanda said, to this day,

227
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 2: they can't talk about a camera without remembering the talk

228
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: about a camel, remembering the window incident. Disturbing to go

229
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 2: to Queen's Rocks morning the rain, morning, Hi, what's your memory?

230
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 13: In about seventy seven, My mum and dad knew the

231
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 13: person John, obviously it was. And we got to ride

232
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 13: in the ute that used to feed the lines, and

233
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 13: I remember going in and all these lines came from everywhere,

234
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 13: and that big one that he was talking about jumped

235
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 13: on the bonnet and he was studdled across the roof.

236
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: And like, there's this.

237
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 13: All I could see through was the back window, and

238
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 13: there's this skycra crouched down with like a bucket of meat,

239
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 13: just poking bits of meat through.

240
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: The holes in The.

241
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 13: Whole ute was just rocking, and I just started squealing

242
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 13: like a piece, and I'm like, let me up, let

243
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 13: me up, And that's just put his hand on the

244
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 13: lock on.

245
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 7: This silly girl.

246
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,920

Speaker 3: from the River End.

256
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: Darreny Gosnell says, my biggest memory of the lion park

257
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: is that every time we went, the lions were always asleep.

258
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: One time I remember a big male was probably fro Ferocious,

259
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: looked over at us with this look of not another

260
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: lot of sticky beaks on his face. He then proceeded

261
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: to lay down at his back and spread his legs.

262
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: All we could see was his private line.

263
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 4: People.

264
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: There you go.

00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: A lasting memory, for sure. There are part of the education.

266
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: It certainly was. It's John, how are you going clean?

267
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: Just a bit of reminiscing going on this week?

268
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: I hate so reminiscent. Since I heard it this morning,

269
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: I thought, No, I've got.

270
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 7: To ring in.

271
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got to go from Bullan's Well.

272
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: By nineteen seventy four, my father just bought a brand

273
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: new h Q hold in Kingswood, brand brand new, a

274
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: week old, and we had to go for a Sunday

275
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: drive so we've gone to the full line park. As

276
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: we're going in, my mum's telling us are to lock

277
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: the doors. You push the buttons down and waiting the

278
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: lines lines open the doors, can they But anyway, we've

279
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: driven in and it's feeding time the zebra painted land

280
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: cruisers with the cages. Anyway, two lions have had a fight.

281
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: They're on two legs on the bonnet of our car.

282
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: Ah, my god, big beasts.

283
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: My father has got his hand on the horn and

284
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's driving forward, trying to nudge

285
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: them from because they've got the poor on the front wall.

286
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Of a sudden on the side and bang they've hit

287
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: the car, gone into the side of the car. He's

288
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: yelling horn. All of a sudden he's opened up. He's

289
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: opened up the door and left the door open and

290
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: got out of the car. Back back then with the

291
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: bench suits, my mother has leant over, pulled the door

292
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: shut and popped the button down, locked it out.

293
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: So I think it was just a natural reaction preservation

294
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: the answers.

295
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I can still remember how the screaming wast was deafening

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: by her screaming. He's got out of the car all

297
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the land cruiser is at almost touched,

298
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, hit our car and telling the bloody idiots

299
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: to get you back in the cart. We've looked on

300
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: the side and the two lions at behind my father.

301
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: They're touching my father. He's gone the door, can't get in.

302
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Another land wage has come from one side another and

303
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we've heard a shot. I'm obviously

304
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: in the air tranquiliz like that. So we've months leans

305
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: over and realized that the buttons down. He's jump He's

306
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: jumped in the car, dived into the carr but the door,

307
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: the doors still open and his legs are hanging out.

308
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: The land cruiser is right so close to the carts

309
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: hitting the door. So and the guys called my father

310
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: a d h and anyway, so he shut the door. Anyway,

311
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the lions have just got as in,

312
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: they've just run, you know what I mean. And then

313
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: they ushered us.

314
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: Out quite over.

Speaker 2: A mother protecting her kids she locked the door, and

316

Speaker 2: more seventies than that, doesn't jo passionate it equal measures? Yeah,

318
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,680

380
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 7: Ty, Yes, I had We had a Coombe van, okay,

381
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 7: and I had my husband and two young children and

382
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 7: a sister in law from the UK and I I

383
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 7: don't know whether you're meant to sort of stop in

384
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 7: the safari part, but we did briefly and we're looking

385
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 7: around at the distance of some quite a few animals,

386
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden a lion came and jumped

387
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 7: up on their comby roof and lay there on the

388
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 7: combi roof.

389
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,119

390
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,080

00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: We're all going to be eaten.

392
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,520

397
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,040
