And is there much going on 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: like in other parts of the territory as well, I 38 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: know at different times in Alice and some of the 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: other locations they've been events to. 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, right across the territories. So you've got nineteen events 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: taking place throughout you know, and that ranges from New 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: Indomu communities right through to Alice Catherine Tennant. So Alice 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: is the same things that we're partnered with the show 44 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: this year.

But it's yeah, it's a it's a 48 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: big gig. It's a big gig, there's no doubt about it, 49 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: and as it should be. You know, it's a chance 50 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: for us to celebrate this wonderful place we live in 51 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: and everyone get together and having I've got old bonds 52 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: of time. 53 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be wonderful. Koren. Down there at Mendel, are 54 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: people able to still have their own personal fireworks or 55 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: is it a situation where you sort of can't let 56 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: them off if you're at that public event. 57 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: There's an exclusion going down there, Katie. So obviously at 58 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 2: the front of mindle that's all regulated and let's be 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: fear the fair old, fair old piece going on out 60 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: the front of there. So there is the zones down 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: each end of the beach that you can take your 62 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: personal but you know, if so, do it safely, you know. 63 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: But that's how it operates. 64 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair enough. I mean, when you've 65 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: got families there to see the wonderful event that is 66 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: being put on for Territory Day, the last thing you 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: want is somebody to let off a firework close to 68 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: in our group of children or something like that and 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: somebody to get hurt. 70 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 2: Absolutely want people to come, enjoy themselves, have a good, 71 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: good time, get there safely and get home safely. That's 72 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: what it's all about. 73 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: Current. How much organization goes into a daylight this, particularly 74 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: when there's nineteen events happening right around the territory. 75 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a fear, but we're fortunate tooka that we've 76 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: We've got some fantastic partners and communities and organizations that 77 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: we work with, so you know, and you know it's 78 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: been around for a while now, everyone's getting pretty good 79 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: at it. So, yes, there's a fear, chunk of work 80 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: on it, but it certainly wouldn't happen and couldn't happen 81 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: without the fantastic support from our partners, their volunteers, other 82 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: community organizations, councils. There's lots of people involved, that's for sure. 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Well, Karen, do you guys get to have a rest 84 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: after Territory Day. I know it's been a busy old 85 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: time for everybody at NTA major events. 86 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll take a breather for a few days and 87 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: then we're back into it for ridging and ap and 88 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: now from second to fourth to September, so you know, 89 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 2: another another amazing event that we're really looking forward to 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: as well. So it's a bit of a shame when 91 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: it all wraps up, to be honest, and we get 92 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: a couple of months to reset, but we'll go again, 93 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: no one, We'll just keep knocking them. 94 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: Out, wonderful stuff.
