people to fill the spot. So it's like, oh, it's
anyone else got like I ask any friends? So I
asked a friend of mine to come and play, Like,
all right, he's locked in, he's pumped, and by the
(00:39):
time I send that message, he goes, oh nah, all
eight spots of field now, So you've got to turn
around and tell your mate he's uninvited.
Speaker 4 (00:46):

mean him to play for a lot.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
And this is called Hidden Valley, this golf course in
the north of this city, and they what they're famous for,
or is it what's called an island green? So on
the eighteenth hole, it's a green that's in the middle
of a lake and you've got to hit.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
From the hell cold.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We've got our oldest friends are over, knowing them since
we were in our early twenties before kids and all that.
They're over visiting Australia for the first time and so
their daughter has moved to Sydney. So for ten days
they were in Sydney and we kept hearing a lot.
It's their first impression of Australia. Oh my god, Sydney's amazing.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Sydney.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
There's fo We've been to this suburb, we've been to
this bay. My wife and I were getting angry, okay
and slightly defensive, like you know, really hope that actually
they like Melbourne because they wouldn't say anything, but they'd
be thinking, oh, why did they move to Melbourne. They
should have gone to Shine Sydney that's got the harbor.
So anyway, they came last weekend and Melbourne put on
(02:05):
a show, fantastic weather. They're into their F one so
they went for a wander into the city on Monday.
They found the F one fan zone. So that's so
far double thumbs up for Melbourne. They're now prefer over
Sydney then.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
You god great.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So we've got Mahaka this week. They've done Great Ocean Road,
They've had two nights in lawn. The weather's been great.

It is really really nice. So this weekend we're doing
the Bush Rangers Bay.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Walk down there.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
If you have done that, it's befure down there Cape Shank.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And if you go early in the morning as well,
you see a lot of kangaroos.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's what we're hopeful at the middle of the day. Yeah,
like any Brits that come over, we just want to
see kangaroos in wild. We saw some last weekend and
they want to see more. My friends had actually looked
like Jiassic Park.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I went, it's not like kangaroos aren't like Gyassic Park.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Don't raise that high.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yes, and then I'm off to see the D's with
their opening round games Sunday. You said that Monday show
could be tough, guys, because at the moment it's all potential.
But we got the Giants, and obviously Giants were incredible
last weekend.

first series.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
I love a period drama.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
This is about Australia and you know, the poems immigrating out,
incredible stories and just the hardships that they faced and
what you know, a snapshot of what Australia was at
the time, and just the racism and just the hardship
of even just securing housing and jobs.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
And all that they sort of all the flak that
they caught do. We absolutely adore it.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
And I think the difference with this series from the
first one is that there's this it feels like this
renewed confidence from the cast, like they're really settled into
the series and they're more it's like they're more confident
and just sort of set in what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (05:39):

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I loved the little goes all the way out there
he goes to find his aunt. Oh my god, I
was missing, yes, missing, but it's all good. In the
the thing about it, there's a really strong undertone of
you know, kids spreading their wings.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
You'll really.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Need world, you will. It was banged up for a crime.
He didn't give me.

Speaker 4 (06:50):

Speaker 1 (06:50):
The line in the movie where the mom says, it's
just what happens, and when you see it you will
get the context of it.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And I just said, tears in the context of it.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
They've time. I don't need this in it, just what happens.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
You know, the kids got me for for Christmas. They
chipped and they got me a little toy Paddington by
my computer desk. But if I go and see it
next when it's sad, I'm going to have him face
in the other way. I can't have him looking at me.
Reminded me that he's left home as well.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
You got Paddington anymore?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You love it, well, then you might know this. I've
never seen Paddington's so I don't know the context. But
since seeing it, Gordy started to put his sandwich in
his heart.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
He's got over his head.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And Antonio Banderas is in this one.

Banker said, all right, he's old enough now to know
what's inappropriate and that's got to stop. So it's nature
documentaries now. But yesterday it was two seals attacking each
other and you know, it got pretty violent, so we've
had to turn that off even.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
And what is Gordy like when he sees stuff like that,
because some of those nature documentaries are heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Underwater, but he loves anything underwater at the moment, and
he's so much so that like he even wants the
ugly old anglerfish. Have you seen those things? Yes, a
