And how can 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: we even talk about this show without talking about this woman, 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: Julie Rafter aka Rebecca Giveney. 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: Hello, good morning, how are you. 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 3: It's so nice to talk to you now. 10 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Everyone in everyone in this show has always said that 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: this is the best fun they've ever had filming that 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 2: you were actually like a real family. So was it 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: a no brainer to come and do this? And why 14 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: wasn't it done earlier? 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: There was an absolute no brainer to come and do it. 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, you know what. I think everyone needed 17 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: that a little bit more time, I suppose, and because 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: everyone had gone off when they're doing their own things, 19 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: I think they needed to give everyone enough notice so 20 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: that we could all clear a bit of space to 21 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: do it. 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 2: So last time we saw the family, you guys were 23 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: little baby Ruby. 24 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 3: We're heading off around Australia. It's sold. The house where 25 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: do we pick up? 26 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: We pick up and we've settled in a little town 27 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: called Baradina, which is actually Bury, and we've settled in 28 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: this little town or my little house, and Rubies at school. 29 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: Dave's got a new business with a new business partner. 30 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: Life is great. Julie's working in the local cafe. But 31 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: back in Sydney, the grown up children each are having 32 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: issues of their own, and of course Ted, played by 33 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: lovely Michael Caton, is in a home with dementia. So 34 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: Julie is torn. 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: Because you can't just be all happy because no one 36 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 2: wants to see that. 37 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: No cat, no drama. Is conflict, isn't that. I've got 38 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: to have a bit of conflict. 39 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 4: You need the conflict in there. But when I saw 40 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 4: the primer it looks like that Julian Dave are breaking up. 41 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: Oh well, I'm not going to tell you that, am I, 42 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: because you're going to have to watch it.

We actually traveled 78 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: to Wellington for him to audition for Toyfacati, which is 79 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: New Zealand's premier drama school. He's getting in a year early. 80 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: They've asked him to audition a year early. So yeah, 81 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: it's all downhill from him. 82 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: Is he auditioning a year early because he's that good? 83 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 4: Or is it because you're his mum? 84 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: Oh? 85 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: Because he's that good.

Yeah, 88 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: he's very good. I want him to be I want 89 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: him to be a marine biologist. 90 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 4: How old is he now? Because every time you talk 91 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: about him, I always think he's like a little little baby. 92 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Still, No, it's nearly eighteen. 93 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: Whoa? 94 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: And how do you really feel about him embarking on this? 95 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: Because you've had a great run, but you still know 96 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: how tough it can be. 97 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: Look, I know how tough it can be. But he's 98 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: such a great kid. I mean, he's not a kid, 99 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: he's a young man. He's very smart, he's funny, he's 100 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: very he has a great sense of himself, very confident 101 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: young man. So I have no doubt that he's going 102 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: to do well or whatever it might be that he 103 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: gets halfway through the acting course and says that this 104 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: isn't for me.
