00:05Museums have always fascinated me as a kid these places opened up the world even now 30 years
00:11later I still see things I can't wrap my head around like this statue that looks oddly like
00:17Luke McGregor let's see what else will be wrapped by tonight at the museum security
00:45I am very happy to be here at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery with these four curious curios
00:52playing for the honor of having one of their own personal treasures put on display right here at
00:58T-Mag can you please welcome Geraldine Hickey and her wedding suit
01:05Prophecy Stones displayed here by Sashi Pereira
01:10Bjorn Stewart and his figurine and finally a favorite toy owned by Tasmania's favorite son it's Luke McGregor
01:22we're gonna find out more about our guests and their wonderful items later but first let's put
01:33a label on it labels simply tell us what's in front of us for example this hat once belonged to
01:39an
01:39Emperor or this lunch in the staff room fridge belongs to Janet in HR either way eat it at your
01:44own peril I'm going to present our panel with a real object from the museum's collection two of our players
01:51will each read out a label for it but no one on the panel knows which one is correct our
01:57other two
01:58players have to decide which is the right label everybody ready to see our first object let's bring
02:11it out
02:12okay Sashi all right what are we looking at we are looking at a kelp water carrier circa 2008
02:20you've heard of the keep cup this is a kelp cup a water carrier made by Tasmanian Aboriginal people by
02:28drying
02:28bull kelp they go back hundreds if not thousands of years but they're also making a comeback Aboriginal
02:35people in Tasmania today are making them as part of reclaiming their culture so it is a modern ancient
02:42artifact
02:45what have you got there Bjorn?
02:47um this is actually a one bag um a what sorry a one bag a one bag yeah one bag
02:56um so this is
02:58the actually the world's first first first aid kit um so Palawa groups had healers and this was made
03:06of kangaroo or wallaby leather um it's usually filled with like balms plants and natural treatments for
03:15healing and if someone someone ever needed aid um they would send for a man in a one bag
03:22how would they um carry the one bag um like like a bum bag
03:28that's good that's good yeah they would have it like around around their waist
03:34what first aid items would be in yeah yeah as I said first first aid and yeah yeah first aid
03:40first first aid first yeah first first like you could almost say the original first aid kit
03:45yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um Bjorn is indigenous so I don't want to call him a liar
03:54very respectful of you Luke it's not what you were like backstage but
04:01how much uh like do they it held water yes heaps of it it was like it's like a key
04:10like a like an
04:11olden day keep cup yeah where are you putting your lips as a cup um I don't know if they
04:18I think it's
04:19to carry water and then they have another cup yeah and they pour it in I reckon it just was
04:24like
04:25that's an additional they just have the cup you know just have the keep cup do you think I think
04:29if I see a guy walking around with just a bag of water I'm like do you guys want some
04:37do you guys
04:38want some water from my bag no no I do not okay Geraldine and Luke which label do you think
04:44is the
04:45correct one is this a traditional palawa water carrier or a first aid kit um oh do you know I'll
04:51go the
04:51first aid kit I'm looking I'm gonna go the first aid kit too I think it's also the first aid
04:54kit
04:55let's put a label on it
05:02it is a water carrier
05:08it is a water carrier it's called a rikawa now this particular one as Sashi said is modern
05:14it was made by pakana artist vicky west but there are two historic examples still intact now one is in
05:21the british museum and another which is more than 200 years old was rediscovered by palawa curator
05:27dr gaye skullthorpe in a french museum she found that it was wrongly labeled and placed in their
05:33african section so she wrote to them about the mistake and it was sent back to country on loan to
05:38t-mac yes it's amazing story
05:40I would also like to retract all of my bag jokes knowing that it is really nice
05:48so geraldine and luke no points for either of you let's reveal the next object
06:02geraldine what are we looking at over here that's my deb dress from 1995 no
06:07um i wouldn't fit into that um this is a um it's the whaler's ball gown from 1957
06:15uh so it was worn by kathleen stevens and she was tasmania's 1957's whaler's bell of the ball
06:25and the whaler's ball uh reflected tasmania's um history with whaling uh and it coincided with
06:32the humpback and southern right whales migration to win to be bell you were judged on composure
06:40poise and a performance of a whale song
06:49and the whales judged it
06:54and part of the prize you were paraded around in a ute in the back of the ute
07:02with with the um the winner of the best and fairest award for for the footy team
07:10and so that year that that was uh trevor barry and then how's this they ended up getting married
07:18yeah yeah that's the the original beauty and the beast
07:24what have you got luke i uh would like to start by saying that geraldine is a liar
07:31uh this is a neighbor's wedding dress from 1987
07:38this wedding dress was worn by the kylie minogue when charlene married scott on neighbors in 1987
07:47scott of course being played by a whale
07:52one of the biggest moments in tv more than 20 million people in england tuned in prove it i can't
08:00normally costumes like this would be sold um at private auction normally they go for a lot of
08:03money um but this one uh a volunteer wrote to the production company that made neighbors
08:08asking about having it donated and one day it just turned up at the museum in a padded post bag
08:16kylie minogue's quite short that that's quite short that's quite a short dress isn't it
08:21i can't tell from here it also doesn't have a head so it's hard to gauge
08:27the performing of the whale song that's that's correct right yeah yeah they would
08:32and yeah yeah and then before they got married because trevor he proposed
08:36by going um whale you be mine
08:40and she answered by going oh
08:55do we think that australia would be so disrespectful to such a iconic moment in television history
09:05it's that's a tough one what are you leaning to us the padded sleeves are totally 80s yes but then
09:11that was a 50s thing as well i don't know yeah all right sashi what's your answer what are you
09:16going to go with kylie minogue or whaler's ball gown it's so the whaler's ball gown is just so
09:23outrageous and jez has made it more outrageous so i'm going to choose it okay yeah what about you
09:29bjorn whose story do you believe uh for me it does sound outrageous and that's why i'm not going to
09:37believe it and i'm going to go with the disrespect of our australian iconic moment in history because
09:46it's a kylie wedding dress all right let's put a label on it
09:58that is the actual dress that was worn in that wedding and everyone knew it as soon as it came
10:03out so i just i can't believe they just they just sent it yeah let's take it so yeah it
10:17wasn't
10:17just harold bishop that washed up in tasmania this dress also found its way to tassie shores
10:25and it was worn by kylie minogue in a tv event that is up there with molly dying in a
10:30country
10:30practice or luke mcgregor reading out that label two minutes ago so yeah it is really special that
10:36it's on display tonight because the fabric is so delicate and it's sensitive to light so it's
10:41normally kept in a dark box uh packed away and the public can't usually see it so there's no way
10:47to
10:47display it without it degrading right yeah i think they when they have put on display once in in like
10:52a dimly lit room so we we better put her back in her box so yeah have a good look
10:59and apologies but there was no such thing as a whaler's ball plus trevor leo won the tasmanian
11:07football league's best and fairest in 1957 yeah not trevor barry come on a made-up trevor barry come
11:12on sashie be better so at the end of our first round bjorn is the only one with points he's
11:20got two of
11:28them now geraldine if you win there could be two wedding outfits in the museum can you believe it
11:34that's yeah so i've bought in um my uh wedding outfit there it is there thank you
11:41um and so it's been embroidered with like things that mean you know things like there's native flowers
11:48and wine and cocktails and if you go with it it's the veil that was also worn by my mother
11:56and i haven't given it back yet so i'd wear that oh sorry to the
12:04thank you and obviously um it belongs in a museum because
12:11you shouldn't keep a gay wedding outfit in the closet
12:26museums are always looking for new ways to make their exhibits interactive and bring them to life

16:06it is the
16:07a replica of the first wombat that was taken back to england and the taxidermist there had never seen a
16:13wombat before and they just assumed that's what it looked like well we did crunch the data and tallied

17:20i can't get the thing he's got a little stiff there there we go his staff there uh yeah so
17:27this
17:28character his name's goku he's from an anime television series called dragon ball z it was
17:34created by the late um akira toriyama why i've picked this is that it's captured a cultural
17:42like a zeitgeist for like millennial and gen z bipoc men and this is only anecdotal but every black
17:52fella that i come across i meet we love dragon ball z this series will get you into the gym
17:58it
17:58it gets you exercising it it got me beaten up because i tried to yeah yeah that's it that's
18:04it that's where you go to the gym i tried to power up mid-fight and it didn't work
18:11you got a naruto arm out of there yeah that's how you escape i get you i get you well
18:18very soon we will
18:19know exactly whose item will be on display for all to see while the others will have to get their
18:24items in a museum the old-fashioned way having it stolen by the british this round is called deadly
18:37or deadly in this game i'll present you with an object and you simply have to raise your paddle
18:42and tell me if it is deadly as in has it ever killed a person or is it deadly as
18:47in it's cool
18:48one point for every correct answer now before we start let's just have a look at the paddles can you
18:53show me the side that signifies deadly lethal yes very well done and now can i see what represents
19:00deadly cool pretty cool we were told that everybody would be sending a photo in of their thumbs up and
19:09then it's just me yeah i feel i couldn't beat it that's as cool as it gets all right ready
19:14to play
19:15yeah yes our first exhibit is the animal that makes this sound
19:25is that familiar that's terrifying that's a that's a two-year-old yeah that's that lady from the
19:33whaler's ball um i was told my mic was turned off when i went to the toilet
19:46we told you not to eat the things in the jars so is the animal that makes this sound deadly
19:53or deadly
19:54deadly i'm going deadly deadly cool i think it's a pelican
20:03and pelicans like they're pretty like pretty dangerous and they've killed they've killed people
20:09yeah they could scoop up a baby they're like the reverse stalk yeah that's how
20:22of course as everyone in our studio knows it is a tasmanian devil and they are deadly cool but not
20:29deadly deadly they've never killed a human what makes them cool is not only can they eat 40 of
20:35their body weight in half an hour i've all been there they also can sleep in the carcass of the
20:41animal that they're eating to guard it like a disgusting stinky meaty sleeping bag that's clever
20:48yeah that's cool they've never killed even like i feel like 20 of them they i guess they don't team
20:53up
20:54they don't there's no like oh that's the next segment it's luke versus 20 tasmanian well done a point
21:01for you geraldine let's see our next exhibit now this is a fossilized tooth we're looking at the big
21:12one there do you think it has killed someone paddles up i'm gonna balance up the tally here geraldine why
21:20do you think that it's deadly deadly like it maybe you think it's like from like the megalodon the big
21:26shark like the tooth like it's just fallen and hurt somebody or something but i yeah i just went the
21:35opposite beyond you think it's deadly cool i think it's deadly cool and i i i see your argument there
21:43that you know maybe it dropped on someone's foot and they died um but probably their head i reckon
21:49okay yeah yeah that's good i can tell you this is the fossilized tooth of a megalodon well done
22:00amazing that is a giant shark about four times bigger than a great white they grew up to 25 meters
22:06long now a megalodon never killed a human because they went extinct over three million years before
22:13humans existed but their fossils have so they are deadly lethal
22:24so divers have drowned trying to bring these valuable fossils up from the bottom of the ocean
22:30yeah so they're destined to remain down there alongside all the e-scooters
22:37so geraldine and luke answered correctly a point each thank you
22:44and finally this metal knife from china it is from the warring states period of the joel dynasty
22:52roughly two and a half thousand years ago i start with you bjorn you've gone with deadly cool just
22:57because it's a knife nice yeah what about you i'm going to change my answer because everyone else has
23:01chosen green okay because now that i think about it knives are pretty dangerous
23:09and even if it is for shaving someone could have uh i feel like you're trying to double bluff us
23:15it is deadly cool a point for everyone except luke this is a knife but it's not the stabby kind
23:25it's
23:25chinese knife money it is an ancient type of currency in the shape of a knife one story suggests that
23:31knife
23:32money came about when a chinese prince allowed his soldiers to pay off their debts in knives which is
23:37why you should never bring a knife to a gun fight unless you're hoping to buy the gun
23:50now we're close to seeing who here will have their item on display at t-mag currently in fourth place
23:57luke
23:59give him a clap give him a clap for fourth place jez and sashi tied in the middle but streets
24:04ahead
24:04is bjorn in first place with only one round left it's still anyone's game so let's go take a look

24:32oh geraldine the um manatee the um the sea cow correct yes the dugong or the manatee well done
24:41every year off the east coast of australia what do humpback whales create that spreads across the
24:47pacific luke is it sound noise um yeah i'll give that to you luke like supersonic way or the other
24:56oh if you've given it to me i'm going to stop talking yeah you should stop talking so each year
25:00the males compose a tune off the coast of australia and then as new whales learn it it spreads east
25:06so like the song that the whales off the coast of australia were singing one year the whales off
25:11the coast of new caledonia are singing it the next year oh wow yeah yeah but nowadays it's all ai

25:56invertebrate geraldine and an an an anemone yes that's correct yes clownfish are immune to the
