00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:03 Turn it up!

00:10 Whoa!

00:16 That's right.

00:20 We could spend all day just counting down till 7 o'clock.

00:25 But girl, why wait for the moon to rise and the sun to dry?

00:29 Slip on off to the country, six pack and no six string.

00:34 We could still a little later on,

00:36 and oh, but girl, don't you think it's about about now?

00:41 Sounds like a good time to hammer on down and get this

00:46 fast.

00:47 Y'all ready to run out second fast?

00:49 Don't want to let one second pass.

00:52 It's about about now.

00:54 Sounds like a good time to earn a little gas

00:58 back on a black road when we're going to come back.

01:00 Baby, who knows?

01:01 Any minute with you, any day, all night.

01:04 Sounds like a good time.

01:05 You know what I think?

01:10 We've been talking about this way too long.

01:13 So let's turn that key, because I

01:16 ain't seeing nothing wrong.

01:17 It's about about now.

01:20 Sounds like a good time to hammer on down and get this

01:25 fast.

01:26 Y'all ready to run out second fast?

01:29 Don't want to let one second pass.

01:31 It's about about now.

01:34 Sounds like a good time to earn a little gas

01:37 back on a black road when we're going to come back.

01:39 Baby, who knows?

01:40 Any minute with you, any day, all night.

01:43 Sounds like a good time, baby.

01:46 What keeps bringing you back to Noongar?

01:48 Just such a good community.

01:51 Just a quality day on the beach.

01:53 Play a bit of cricket.

01:54 What else can you say?

01:55 It's a good atmosphere anyway.

01:57 There's plenty going on, plenty of teams here.

01:59 Made a really good night, actually.

02:01 It's been a great day.

02:02 Everyone's having a go.

02:03 All the kids are in there, and everyone's

02:05 happy to let the kids have a go.

02:07 Really supportive out there on the fields.

02:09 It's really good.

02:09 I like the fact that Cheryl's remembered

02:12 and that money's being raised.

02:14 It's a great community out here.

02:16 I can't believe it.

02:17 We're truly humbled.

02:19 I can't believe that people travel

02:20 so far for our little event.

02:24 Obviously, the love of Cheryl and the love of good country

02:29 hospitality, I suppose.

02:30 Just keep coming back.

02:31 Today, we're raising funds for Are You Bogged Mate,

02:34 which is raising awareness for mental health in the bush.

02:36 How important do you think that is?

02:38 Oh, it's very important.

02:39 I've got a few mates going through rough times themselves.

02:42 And plenty of fellas out there not talking about it.

02:45 So the more we raise awareness of it,

02:47 the more those fellas out there that don't really have a voice

02:50 can find their voice and ask for a little bit of help.

02:53 Letting blokes know, but everyone

02:55 know that there's someone to talk to.

02:57 So important.

02:59 Years ago, it was taboo.

03:00 You wouldn't talk about a weakness,

03:01 all that sort of stuff.

03:03 But it's really come to the fore,

03:04 and it's just so, so important.

03:06 It's a bloody cracker, because us blokes,

03:09 we're all pretty tough and macho when you want to be.

03:11 But I think it shines a light on a pretty serious issue

03:16 in the bush.

03:16 And they need to realize that it's OK to ask for help.

03:20 It's OK.

03:21 Sometimes we need help.

03:24 If we can just raise awareness to help one person,

03:27 it's been totally worth it.

03:28 [MUSIC - THE KING, "I GOT 400"]

03:29 Feels like a good time.

03:31 I got 400.

03:32 We're set.

03:32 Back up.

03:33 [INAUDIBLE]

03:34 $100 quick.

03:35 Bidding done.

03:35 We're not going to hang and wait.

03:37 All of us, $2,100.

03:38 Bidding done.

03:39 We're done.

03:39 $2,100.

03:41 Yes, it's a funny old game, this cricket.

03:43 I heard the commentator say, as I watched the test match

03:46 at Melbourne that was held on Boxing Day.

03:49 But I wonder what all those people who

03:51 watch the Aussies play would think if they ever

03:54 came to see a game that's played the Noongar way.

03:56 [MUSIC - THE KING, "I GOT 400"]

03:58 Ooh, ooh, ooh.

04:01 Could have thought about it now.

04:04 It sounds like a good time.

04:06 We're up here at the 2024 Cheryl Cinnamon Memorial Cricket

04:11 Day at Noongar.

04:12 And guess what?

04:14 As usual, it's turned out to be a fantastic day.

04:17 We've got a heap of teams out there playing

04:19 some good cricket today.

04:21 And now we're here enjoying the live music,

04:24 getting on the beers, doing what we all should be doing.

04:27 So cheers to that.
