00:00Hi guys, welcome to another Gold Coast adventure. Today we're going to Corumban Wildlife Sanctuary
00:06and I think Spencer's already, oh yeah, he's already got his shoes. Good, good, he knows where we're going to go.
00:11So we've had the sunscreen battle, we've had the insect repellent battle, so now we're getting his shoes on.
00:16Yep, and we've got your hat too, darling. And mummy's going to get her shoes as well.
00:26Excellent job. Excellent job.
00:30Very good job. And Corumban is such a good place to go, like take the kids, because it's outdoors, there's animals to see, and yeah, you can't see them, they're off their devices as well.
00:52So what are you looking forward to the most about Corumban?
00:55Definitely the right to the shop.
00:56Yeah, me too.
01:00Hi.
01:02Hi.
01:12Well, we're here now at Corumban.
01:14Even the car park is nice.
01:17Like, I've even gone to an effort to have beautiful sort of greenery and fallen logs and just, just bringing already the natural environment, even into the car park.
01:26So it's just lovely.
01:27Look, don't even have to do that door.
01:53And the reason it's to stay the door is that you don't want to let the animals out.
02:02There you go.
02:03The gate's to not let animals or toddlers out.
02:07That's so cool.
02:08That is awesome to see koalas there.
02:14Yeah.
02:17Look, Danny, look.
02:19Look.
02:20Are they asleep?
02:21They are asleep.
02:25Look, sweetheart, can you see the koalas?
02:29They are so beautiful.
02:30This is so exciting.
02:39And welcome aboard the Corumban Sanctuary Railway.
02:42We're on the middle of the road.
02:44We're on the ground.
02:44We're on the ground.
02:44We have instructions to make sure we can eat safely.
02:46The wild water keeps here in Corumban.
02:48Today, the sanctuary is a driving force for conservation.
02:51Our koalas are very fussy eaters.
02:54To keep up with the demand, our gun-cutting team visit one of five off-site new plantations every morning
03:00to make sure we have fresh food for all our heartbreak koalas.
03:05This train is so exciting because it goes all around the park
03:08and they stop at different places around the park.
03:11So you can get off, have a look at the area they've stopped at
03:14then get back on the train and go to another area of the park.
03:23Oh, we're going to go under a bridge now.
03:26This is exciting.
03:29Look back.
03:30Look at this.
03:31Look at this.
03:32Look at this.
03:49This is by far the best way to see the park.
03:51You can actually see almost the entire park if you just stay on this train
03:55and do the loop around.
03:56Are you enjoying the train ride?
04:05Yeah.
04:05I like the better than this year.
04:06It is so cool, isn't it?
04:08Oh, there's another train.
04:09It is.
04:10It is.
04:11It is.
04:12It is.
04:13It is.
04:14It is.
04:15Oh, there's another train.
04:41We're going through Dinosaur Park at the moment.
04:45This is the nearest stop for all of our mates.
04:48Dingar is 10 million there is.
04:51Tessal Honda, our consummation area 3 is a ground and nursery.
04:55And the Rwando Hospital which is open for you.
05:09That was so fun riding the train.
05:11So we've decided to get off at the conservation stop.
05:14And this is where the animal hospital is.
05:17So I'm really keen to see the animal hospital.
05:19Because often they've got animals being treated.
05:25So we're here at the animal hospital.
05:26And they're actually doing some production today as well.
05:29There's a billboard saying filming in progress.
05:31I'm not sure what they're doing.
05:33But it's so fascinating coming to this animal hospital.
05:36You can actually see animals being intubated.
05:38You can see animals being treated.
05:39There's an animal.
05:41There's something happening there.
05:42No, I think they're just doing a little bit of equipment.
05:44Do you want to have a little walk over there?
05:46But they've got real medical equipment here.
05:52Like real medical equipment obviously.
05:54Because they're treating the animals.
05:55And I'm...
05:56Oh, look at the swan.
