00:00Closer each day
00:03Home and away
00:06Cash mentioned that you were a bit thrown about me dating again.
00:11I suppose I'm just getting used to everything, you know, but it's fine, really.
00:18I'm not doing anything.
00:19Well, it looks like you were on Smolder, Missy.
00:23I like Donnie. Donnie seems nice.
00:24Give me my phone back.
00:25No, look, she's got such a cute little dog, which means he's probably not a psycho.
00:28You are the one saying that you want to move on from Donnie.
00:31Yeah, you know I do.
00:32So it's time. Step up. Plan a proper date.
00:36Just because Donnie is okay with me having a baby doesn't mean that I'm ready for this.
00:40Maybe I'll be ready to date in, like, a week or a year.
00:44Or this afternoon.
00:45What did you do?
00:46I messaged Donnie back saying yes to coffee.
00:54Hey.
00:55You going to see a little man down here?
01:00Still trying to get him used to the sand.
01:01Let's go to your genes.
01:03I'm sure you'll love it in no time.
01:04No, you better.
01:05You shattered my boy doesn't love the beach.
01:07Hey.
01:12Hey, JP.
01:13Gentlemen.
01:14How's the patrol going?
01:15Not enough people using their brains today.
01:18That's how the patrol's going.
01:19Great.
01:20So you're here to tell me off or something then?
01:22I'll hope you know the only reason I pulled up was to tell you you're a lucky man.
01:27To get to spend this amount of time with loved ones, that's a gift.
01:31Enjoy it.
01:39Well, then, take it personally.
01:42It's a bit lost without I being around.
01:43You need to relax.
01:50It's just a date.
01:51That's all that it is.
01:53It is too soon.
01:53We've hardly even spoken to each other.
01:55I can't go.
02:00What are you doing?
02:01Stop it.
02:01Stop it.
02:02Stop it.
02:02Liv.
02:02Liv.
02:03Can you please tell my sister that it's inappropriate to sign me up to dates without my permission?
02:07Oh, wow.
02:08You're going on a date.
02:10How exciting.
02:11Yep.
02:11I don't.
02:11I want to back and go like you thought it would, didn't it?
02:13Why are you ganging up on me?
02:15I think it's great that you were putting yourself out there.
02:17I'm not putting myself out there.
02:19She is.
02:20Can you please let me do this at my own pace?
02:22It's funny.
02:23You keep talking, but all I hear is...
02:25I think you should go.
02:28Just take a risk.
02:28Who knows?
02:29You may enjoy yourself.
02:33I have to leave.
02:34And go get ready for your date.
02:36I think you do.
02:36No, I have to pick up Archie.
02:39Goodbye.
02:40Bye.
02:41Hey, hey.
02:48Sorry, boys.
02:48No, you're all right.
02:49Let's fall at the moment.
02:50Try and organise a ute or a van to help with this house move.
02:54Great.
02:54You're finally moving in.
02:55Yeah, yeah.
02:55We're good to go.
02:56Removal of Sabine.
02:57I've just got a bit of gear at a storage unit.
02:59Hey, you should have asked.
03:00I can help you with that.
03:01Really?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Tomorrow morning.
03:03I'm all yours.
03:04Thanks, mate.
03:05You're a life-suffer.
03:05Sweet.
03:06And, hey, good news about Cohen.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Yeah, we're all glad he's finished up happy.
03:12Yeah.
03:12Shame I didn't get to say goodbye.
03:15But it's good to know he ended up where he's meant to be.
03:18Worked out perfect.
03:20Perfect's one word for it.
03:22I'll see you later.
03:23See you, mate.
03:24I get the feeling I said something wrong.
03:29He really liked having Cohen around.
03:32Just as much as Rue.
03:34Of course.
03:35I didn't even see him.
03:36I don't know.
03:36It's not a big deal.
03:37He'll get over it.
03:38Have a good feed.
03:39See you first thing in the morning.
03:40Cheers.
03:42See you, mate.
03:43See ya.
03:45How did he go?
03:46Yeah, he did great.
03:48Stan's still a bit of an issue for him,
03:49but he's officially moved from frustrated and annoyed
03:52to puzzled and curious.
03:56You all right?
03:57Yeah, I'm fine.
03:59I just better get moving.
04:01Are you up too much this afternoon?
04:04No, nothing.
04:06I mean, I never do anything interesting,
04:08so no big plans.
04:10Well, if there are, it's all right.
04:12Why?
04:13What would I be doing?
04:14We did talk about your dating again,
04:15so if you're busy...
04:17Well, if you want me to take Archie anyway,
04:19I'm just going to see Marley anyway.
04:20I'm not going on a date, kind of.
04:23Not yet.
04:26Okay.
04:27Sure.
04:33It's fine.
04:34I'll move as much as I can on my own tonight,
04:36and then you can help Justin and I
04:39with whatever's left tomorrow.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Okay.
04:44Listen, I've got to run.
04:45I'll see you at home later on.
04:47Okay, bye.
04:49Uh, Kuri, you just dropped this off for you.
04:51Oh, thanks.
04:52Okay.
04:55Okay.
04:55You're 100% sure about this.
05:25Absolutely.
05:26JP's gonna love it.
05:27Yeah, but what about you?
05:29Of course.
05:30The three of us are gonna have a great time.
05:32Wait, the three of us?
05:34Yeah, you're coming too.
05:36Whoa, whoa, hang on.
05:38I'm all for helping out John, but this is all too much John for me.
05:42I don't get it.
05:43Why does everyone always have a go?
05:44He's a good bloke.
05:45I never said he wasn't.
05:46But you know he can be a lot.
05:49Here's your man.
05:50Good luck.
05:53Pack your bag, JP.
05:55We are heading off in an hour.
05:58Where to?
05:59We, my friend.
06:00We're going camping.
06:02Well, it's a bit short notice, don't you reckon?
06:04I'm sorry.
06:05Do you have somewhere to be?
06:07What?
06:08No, actually.
06:10Perfect.
06:11A couple of nights around a campfire will do the soulsome good.
06:14Thanks, mate, but I think I've had enough pity invites for a while.
06:17Mate, this is what you need.
06:19When I start to feel out of sorts, I like to get away from all the noise and just sit
06:25with country.
06:27It does sound rather good.
06:30And I've always wanted to share some blackfella secrets with you.
06:35Blackfella?
06:36Yeah, really, really?
06:37Yeah, there's not many people I trust with the knowledge, but you, you're one of them.
06:43Well, actually, nature and I have had quite the relationship because I'm an expert camper.
06:50Of course you are.
06:52You might even learn a thing or two, young man, hey?
06:54I cannot wait.
06:55This is good.
06:56This is good.
06:57I'll start picking.
07:06Hello?
07:07You're high!
07:08Finally!
07:09Just keep the living daylights out of me!
07:10What are you doing?
07:11What does it look like?
07:12I'm picking options out for your date.
07:13What are we thinking?
07:14I'm a serious social worker.
07:15Don't muck me around.
07:16Or, I'm light and I'm breezy and I laugh at all your jokes.
07:19I told you I'm not going.
07:21And I told you that you are.
07:23Your life has been on pause since you had Archie.
07:26I'm pressing play.
07:27Just because you're my sister doesn't mean you can tell me what to do.
07:30I know that you're scared and I know that you also want to go.
07:34Because otherwise you would have already texted him and said,
07:36Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot I had plans to be a scaredy cat today.
07:39Okay, yes, I am nervous.
07:40I'm freaking out.
07:41Are you happy now?
07:42Yes!
07:43Nerves are good.
07:44Nerves mean that you're excited.
07:45No, the last time I liked a guy I ended up cancelling a wedding,
07:48living in his house as a single mother.
07:50That's very unlikely to happen again.
07:52Oh, you say that now.
07:53You're overthinking this.
07:54You are.
07:55Because this is just a date with a guy who thinks you're hot and interesting
07:58and doesn't care that you're a mum.
07:59I know, but...
08:00Da-buck me!
08:01Okay?
08:02What do you have to lose?
08:03Fine.
08:04Good!
08:05Ponder these.
08:06I'm gonna get shoes.
08:08Approach.
08:09Yep.
08:10Yep.
08:11And then 12.
08:12And then 12.
08:13Hey Sailor.
08:14No.
08:15Oh.
08:16Other way.
08:17Other way.
08:18Oh.
08:19Yeah.
08:20See you later.
08:21Whatever.
08:22Whatever.
08:23And then maybe...
08:24You're just trying to get me dizzy.
08:25Is it working?
08:26Yes.
08:27No, but honestly, is it too much?
08:28Yes.
08:29No.
08:30I'm kidding.
08:31You look amazing.
08:32Hey.
08:33Hey.
08:34Hey.
08:35You found something to do?
08:38She's going on a date with Donnie.
08:39Oh.
08:40Date with Donnie.
08:41Does that not sound like a movie?
08:42I didn't lie.
08:44Before.
08:45I only just agreed to go and Dana's gonna babysit.
08:48Right.
08:49Of course.
08:50That's good.
08:51Awesome.
08:52I'm happy for you.
08:53It's not a big deal.
08:55Unless he turns out to be Mr. Right.
08:56And then, very big deal.
08:58And I remember what we talked about.
09:01I'm not gonna bring him here.
09:02You might go back to his though.
09:04You never know what'll happen.
09:06It is just coffee.
09:07And Dillard isn't.
09:09Sorry.
09:10Seriously.
09:11It's all good.
09:12I hope you have a good time.
09:18Actually, before you go.
09:22Well, the backpacks and the gear are in the car.
09:24I am ready to go.
09:25Bush.
09:26Rightio.
09:27So, where are we going?
09:28Yes sir.
09:29I don't think it's best if I scope the map out first.
09:32We don't want to be getting lost.
09:33You're really going to tell the blackfella that he might get lost in the bush?
09:36No.
09:37No, no, no, no, no.
09:38I wasn't trying to question your skills.
09:39I'm camming with you.
09:40Alright.
09:41I've got a sat-night.
09:43Hey.
09:44Too late for me to tag along?
09:46Not at all.
09:47Always happy for one more happy camper to join the John Palmer School of Camping.
09:52Come on.
09:53Let's go, Bush.
09:54Thanks.
09:55Thanks.
09:56Alright.
09:59So, what happened to a night with JP being too much?
10:02I just decided it might be nice to get out of the bay for a bit.
10:05That's all.
10:07Alrighty then.
10:09Let's go.
10:10Let's go.
10:11Let's go.
10:12Let's go.
10:13Let's go.
10:31You there, mate?
10:33Hello.
10:35Hey.
10:36Come here.
10:37Thanks.
10:38I...
10:39hope I'm not interrupting anything?
10:41Not at all.
10:42I just came to drop these off.
10:44Thanks.
10:46We're pleased to have you here, mate.
10:48I appreciate that.
10:50To be honest, I'm a little relieved.
10:53I thought I offended you earlier about Colin.
10:56Oh, no, no.
10:57No, all good.
10:58Look, it's taking a bit of adjustment at home.
11:01I'll bet.
11:03I hope you and Roo are looking after yourselves.
11:05Yeah, yeah, no, all good.
11:09In fact, I'm off to the city.
11:11My grandson works on a cruise ship
11:13and it's coming into port today.
11:14You going to spend some time together?
11:16Yeah, yeah, a few days until he's off again.
11:19I take it you don't get to see him much?
11:21No, no, that's why this is special to me.
11:24You know, I mean, family are important.
11:27It can also be hard work.
11:30Still, we push through, don't we?
11:33Yeah, we do.
11:35There we are, playing hard and full of beer.
11:38And the cheap prawns we bought start to kick in.
11:41Oh, I've got a whole new anger at Royal Fluff.
11:44Hooray, and up she rises.
11:46Hooray, and up she rises.
11:48Hooray, and up she rises.
11:50Oh, nothing funny about 50 winding sailors in a chicken.
11:52That was the roughest sea I'd ever experienced.
11:55My mate starts to pop out.
11:56Heave ho!
11:58And the new recruit starts to keep it all right.
12:01Gentlemen, welcome to paradise.
12:13Go on, get a big lung full of that country air.
12:16Look where we are.
12:16Look, look, look, look, look, look.
12:18Huh?
12:18Ah!
12:20Yes!
12:21Ha-ha!
12:24Hang on, hang on, hang on.
12:26Where are you going?
12:26Set my tent up.
12:28Not over there, you nodding, mate.
12:29Get a load of this guy.
12:31Ha-ha!
12:31You've got to take into account the lay of the land.
12:35You camp there, any rain overnight,
12:37your bed's going to end up a bathtub.
12:38Ha-ha!
12:39Ha-ha!
12:39Ha-ha!
12:39Thanks for the tip.
12:43I'll go over here.
12:46Not over there either.
12:48All those trees up there.
12:50One gust of wind during the night,
12:52you're going to end up with a log on your head.
12:54I have been camping before, John.
12:56Well, okay, fair enough.
12:58You choose your own site then.
13:02But personally, I reckon
13:04the best spot is right here.
13:08Good pick, JP.
13:11Glad you're here to tell us what's what.
13:12Two right, two right.
13:14Now, if you need a hand getting your tent set up,
13:15you just call me.
13:25Could have told them all three of those spots
13:26were the exact same.
13:28Yeah, to give the man a good time, remember?
13:31The car ride of Navy stories
13:32wasn't exactly a good time for us, was it?
13:34Yeah.
13:35But the bloke desperately needs to get out of his own head.
13:37And it's just two nights.
13:39We can give him that.
13:40There's only two poles in it at the same length.
13:59It has to go in there, but it doesn't.
14:03Get in.
14:04Are you all right?
14:06Yeah, yeah, I'm almost done.
14:07All right, what happened to being the expert camper?
14:09Well, I haven't camped since my Navy days.
14:11I'm not used to these new, fancy, stupid tents.
14:16Wait.
14:18Go along with it, okay?
14:19With what?
14:20You'll see.
14:23Okay.
14:25Wait, guess what we just found?
14:28Some bush tucker.
14:29Go on.
14:31Have a feed.
14:34What is it?
14:36Nutrition.
14:36That's what that is.
14:38That's enough to see you through a night in the bush.
14:41Was it a berry or something?
14:44Actually, it's kangaroo poo.
14:47Camminger!
14:50What was wrong with you two?
14:53Oh, relax.
14:55It's just lollies.
14:56Yeah, we got you good though, didn't we?
14:59Come on, I'll give you a hand with your tent.
15:01Okay, good, good.
15:05You know, they're not actually that bad.
15:07Nah.
15:08It's good to get a laugh out of you, mate.
15:15Doot, doot, doot, doot.
15:17Yeah.
15:19Oh, finally she's home.
15:21It's the one I left you at?
15:23Yeah, he left ages ago.
15:24So, how was it?
15:25Was it good?
15:26Was he nice?
15:27Did you guys kiss?
15:28Did he pay?
15:28Which one of those questions do you want me to answer first?
15:30All of them.
15:31And don't skimp on the detail.
15:33Ah, it was good.
15:35He was nice.
15:36Thank you, Mama.
15:37Yeah.
15:38No smooch.
15:39And we split the bill.
15:41Okay, and when will the next date be?
15:42It's not going to be when I'm not seeing him again.
15:44Okay, so what was the problem?
15:47We just didn't click.
15:48I want someone more vulnerable and who values family and more active.
15:53Oh, whose name is Tana.
15:55What?
15:55No.
15:55That's literally who you're describing.
15:58Actually, I'll have you know, I've already organized another date.
16:02What?
16:02When did that happen?
16:03Just now, on the way home.
16:04His name's Drew.
16:06I don't know if to go anywhere, but he seems fun.
16:08Where did my shy, reluctant sister go?
16:11The first one might have been a no-go, but I've learned it's all about possibilities.
16:14Oh, yeah.
16:22All right.
16:24That should be enough to keep us going.
16:26Enough there to last the week.
16:28Good.
16:29Not risking another run in with a hairy man.
16:32The what?
16:34The hairy man.
16:35He only comes out when it's dark, so we've got to keep the fire burning.
16:39But he's out there, somewhere, always watching.
16:43Yeah, sure.
16:45And I'm Kylie Minogue.
16:47Yeah, I thought the same thing, JP.
16:49It was just a legend that blackfellas told their kids to stop them from wandering off.
16:55And I met one.
17:01So I'm away home.
17:04A night with my brother, my Luca.
17:07Streetlights were out.
17:08It's pitch black.
17:10And I saw them.
17:13Saw what?
17:16Eyes.
17:18Blowing bright.
17:21Up in this big gum tree.
17:24Possum.
17:26That's what I thought.
17:28When I looked closer.
17:31When I stared into the eyes.
17:33What?
17:37Stopped.
17:41What do you mean?
17:43I was frozen.
17:46No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get my body to move.
17:49Because when I realised, the hairy man got me.
17:58Well, what happened then?
18:00I was lucky.
18:02My Luca shook me so hard.
18:04I broke eye contact and we ran so fast.
18:09That night, mum made us all stay in the same room together.
18:16She was scared too.
18:19She knew the truth of it.
18:21That the hairy man was real.
18:26I'm lucky to have escaped.
18:30You alright there, John?
18:32Yeah.
18:33Well, sorry.
18:35Good story.
18:36Well told.
18:37You nearly had me there for a minute.
18:38I don't know.
18:41Ah.
18:43Why don't we just throw a few more dogs on the fire, eh?
18:45Keep warm?
18:46Sure.
19:17Right.
21:20What are you doing with this?
