1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Lisa, it's the end of an year.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: It is officially the end of an era. Ten ton

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: of precious cargo has started the twenty seven hundred kilometer

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: journey across the Nulla Bore, marking the end of more

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: than a century of elephants.

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: At Perth, so a century. In the quarter one hundred

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: and twenty seven years.

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: An elephant is on his way to that place southeast

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: of Adelaide, the Monato Safari Park, where the others have gone.

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: It's about seventy k southeast Adelaide. It closes the chapter

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: after one hundred and twenty seven years.

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: There's always been an elephant. I remember Tricia, Remember Tricia.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: She was beautiful. She died just a couple of years ago.

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: She did sixty five. She was she was an Asian elephant,

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: and she actually outlasted the average age of an Asian

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: elephant by about nearly twenty years.

17
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: But where she did well, I mean, we're old enough

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 4: to remember when the poor elephant was in a very

19
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: small enclosure, looked like concrete triosure.

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: Looked like a parthenon.

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: It did did didn't it? It was horrible.

22
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: So you know where future mass is going is going

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: to be lovely. This is believed to be the longest

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: overland trip ever undertaken by a fully grown bull elephant

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: in recorded history. And Permi, I think that's how you

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: say her name. Yeah, she left pursue last year, so

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: she's waiting there.

28
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: She's going to hold up the sign.

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: When you arrive, it's going to say future bass and

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: then you'll know where to go.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: But what a trip though?

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: It is a how do you reckon? How long do

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 3: you reckon?

34
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: It'll take well, it'll take about week because it's an

35
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: extra heavy load or wide load, and it's going to

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: say wideload.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: I'll have one of those things carried.

38
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: You've got to stop at all the roadhouses along the way,

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: just for breaks, the chic roll and ships. You know

40
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you need to do you need to stop. This is

41
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: part of going across another ball.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: Well, they.

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: They took they took him through all the greate training

44
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: that he needed.

45
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 3: And then.

Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, and the truck is filled with all the

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: essentials required for his safe journey. Do you think he's

48
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,919

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: have peanuts when we travel.

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,600
