00:03I was just wondering, would you like some poetry?
00:05I would love some poetry.
00:07Alright.
00:08So I'm going to drop the word about the turd
00:11from the first to the third to the beast to the bird
00:13and how absurd for our sons and daughters
00:15that we keep on flushing our turds in their water.
00:17It's the toilet.
00:18Goona, kakashiza and crap.
00:20I'm MC Fisi and that's my C rap.
00:23MC Fisi, that was amazing.
00:26Thank you.
00:28They're a bit different in El Dorado.
00:31That was awesome.
00:35This time, Backroads heads up the highway
00:38to Victoria's northeast goldfields.
00:41The little town of El Dorado is big on charm and community spirit.
00:48But don't let that fool you.
00:50Scratch beneath the surface
00:52and you'll find some pretty radical ideas.
00:56Like recycling human waste.
00:58It's a hot one.
00:59Yeah.
01:02And living in haystacks.
01:04That's good, hon.
01:06Or even teepees.
01:08They thought, oh, God, here comes the hippies kind of thing.
01:16I'm Mif Warhurst and I'm here to find out
01:19what makes this town of El Dorado so different.
01:22I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty
01:24and seeing how the dream of alternative living
01:27keeps the lights on in this town.
01:45There's gold in them there, Hills.
01:48Or at least there used to be.
01:51El Dorado was built during the gold rush.
01:53We might have to go over a bit, hon.
01:56But these days, a new breed of pioneer is calling the area home.
02:02I'm on my way to meet a couple of them
02:04on a small farm just outside town.
02:09Beautiful.
02:09Look at that.
02:10I like a bought one.
02:11That's fantastic.
02:12Perfect.
02:20Hello, you two.
02:22Hey, Mif.
02:22What on earth is going on here?
02:25Well, we're building a house out of straw.
02:27Do you want to come and have a look?
02:28I would love to.
02:28Thank you.
02:29Great, come over.
02:30This is the steel structure.
02:32Wow.
02:33Sam and Katrina Anderson are self-building their dream home.
02:37And, like the first little pig,
02:40they're finding that building with straw has its challenges.
02:44We're not anxious,
02:45but we have to get it done before the rain comes.
02:47And the mice.
02:49And the mice.
02:50Rodents.
02:50Yeah.
02:52Why straw?
02:53I just love the idea of living in something so natural.
02:57And the insulation values of straw is just extraordinary.
03:03The walls are made of jumbo straw bales.
03:07Not the little ones you usually see.
03:10Once they're rendered, they'll be almost a metre thick.
03:14Long term, this will be so beneficial for not only us,
03:18but for other people coming into our home.
03:20They'll be able to see how sustainable
03:22and how cool it is during summer
03:24and how warm it is during winter.
03:26And the heating and cooling bills will just be zip.
03:30It's all part of a dream to tread on the earth lightly
03:33while being as self-sufficient as possible.
03:36Too easy.
03:38Right now we've got the solar panels on the shed,
03:41so we are feeding into the grid.
03:43Eventually we'd like to get our own batteries
03:46and just be completely self-sufficient.
03:49We have water here.
03:51We'll have a big tank from the roof.
03:53And there is something about living that way that I really love.
03:57And it's a dream that's becoming more popular in these parts.
04:01We do have a lot of eco-minded people in the community.
04:05A lot of our friends who we've got to know,
04:08they're sort of quite alternative in their building.
04:10I love this idea
04:11because I grew up in some really interesting houses.
04:15For some part of it, we lived in a tram, a converted tram,
04:18and then we built our own mud brick house.
04:21So the straw's very familiar
04:23because we used to mix the straw into the mud
04:25and we all made the bricks as kids.
04:27And it was such a fun thing to do
04:29and I really genuinely think it's had a huge impact
04:31on what I've done with my work and, you know, how I've lived.
04:35I want to see things come alive.
04:37Yeah, fantastic.
04:38Yeah.
04:40For Sam, building is just a sideline.
04:43His main gig is sculpture.
04:49Well, this is brilliant.
04:51This was definitely a fun piece to make.
04:54So much recycled materials on this.
04:56Got the old tractor seat.
04:57Yep.
04:58Even got the old padlock from the grandfather's old farm.
05:01Love it, love it.
05:07What got you started doing sculptures?
05:10Basically, I had a motorbike accident
05:13and nothing like a near-death experience
05:15to cement basically what you want to do in life.
05:19Prior to his accident in 2005,
05:22Sam had been making his living
05:24as a freelance shearer, fencer and farm labourer.
05:28I had a car go through a stop sign
05:31and ended up in hospital for a little bit
05:34and an orthopaedic brace for six months.
05:37And then, yeah, so I obviously physically
05:40wasn't able to do the physical work anymore,
05:43which was required in the farming industry.
05:45And so that's what, you know, helped my transition into art.
05:51I was getting a little bit down on myself,
05:53but I thought, well, why don't I just make a sculpture?
05:56So I run a shoe in my grandfather's old steel dump
05:59and saw some lovely shapes in the recycled materials
06:02and ended up making a goanna.
06:04And then I decided, oh, I'll see if I can sell it.
06:07And it was obviously requiring an income
06:09and took it to a local gallery
06:11and it was sold in less time than it took to make.
06:14And this gives me the motivation,
06:15get up every morning and get stuck into it.
06:18It's that classic statement, isn't it?
06:19From the worst of times comes the best of times.
06:22Yeah, I haven't looked back since.
06:30In the 20 years since then,
06:32Sam's art career has gone from strength to strength.
06:37Being able to recycle
06:38is probably one of the main drives for me being an artist.
06:43We're at a point of time
06:45where we need to be thinking about recycling all the time.
06:48And I feel like I'm doing my little part for the earth
06:52and also it's helping me out too
06:54with all these beautiful shapes that I use in my sculptures.
06:58He's now created over 100 sculptures from recycled materials,
07:02some of which he keeps here on his property.
07:06Wow, this is impressive. It's huge.
07:08Yeah, it's huge.
07:09All right, the humpback whale.
07:12It's made from heaps of recycled materials.
07:15We've got some nuts and bolts as the barnacles.
07:18And as you move to the eye,
07:20that's actually made out of toe balls.
07:22You've made something beautiful
07:23out of other people's trash, really, haven't you?
07:26Yeah, basically, yeah, yeah.
07:28Oh, it's very impressive. It's wonderful.
07:33Sam now plans to open a sculpture park
07:35to share his artwork and his message with the community.
07:43I'm loving how Sam's embracing a modern interpretation
07:47of your nan's favourite saying,
07:49waste not, want not.
07:53Next stop, Off Grid Living Festival,
07:56where Sam reckons I'll meet more locals
07:58looking to live sustainably.
08:06The Off Grid Living Festival was born in El Dorado in 2018.
08:11It's grown so large that the organisers
08:14have had to move it to bigger grounds
08:15half an hour down the road.
08:18While these days some country fairs
08:20find it hard to draw a crowd,
08:23Off Grid attracts thousands.
08:26Here you go.
08:28Have a good time.
08:29Have a good one, thanks.
08:31See you later.
08:32The person behind this shindig
08:33is El Dorado's own Kate Nottingham.
08:36How are you going?
08:38Congratulations, Kate. This is amazing.
08:40Thank you, yes.
08:41It was all about, from the beginning,
08:42inspiring people to live more sustainably
08:44and with the Off Grid theme.
08:46So it could be Off Grid Power,
08:47it could be Off Grid Water,
08:49or it could be Off Grid Thinking,
08:50you know, like health and wellbeing,
08:52taking your power into your own hands.
08:53So ways that you can live greener.
08:55We wanted to present sustainability in a fun way.
08:58So often it's presented in a bit of a doom and gloom way
09:01and we wanted to show people
09:03that actually the future's pretty bright
09:05if we're all doing the right thing together.
09:07Kate and her husband Ralph
09:09moved to El Dorado in 2014
09:11after falling in love with a bush block.
09:14We had gone from living in the city
09:17to really living in the country and with nothing.
09:20We had a little bit of shelter,
09:22but we really had to start everything from scratch
09:24and we ended up getting a big teepee to live in.
09:27So we were living in there for a year.
09:30We had no power, outdoor toilet, outdoor shower
09:33and just a bed and an open fire in the teepee.
09:36We loved it so much
09:38and we felt that we loved the freedom
09:40and the happiness that it brought us,
09:42that we really wanted to start sharing that with others.
09:44And we started opening up the farm for workshops
09:47where people could come and get together
09:49and we would bring in other people
09:51to facilitate the learning.
09:53Those humble workshops were the seed
09:56that grew into today's off-grid living festival.
09:59How did the locals take to you
10:01turning up and living in a teepee
10:04holding sustainability workshop?
10:05Yeah, I think at first they saw the teepee
10:08and they thought,
10:09oh, God, here comes the hippies kind of thing.
10:11But then Ralph and I made an effort
10:13to go to the local pub and meet everyone
10:15and pretty soon they realised we're, you know, fairly normal.
10:19We had people offering us
10:22to borrow their tractors
10:23and showing us how, you know,
10:24those kind of mechanical things work.
10:26And we had lots of people
10:27wanting to share their food and produce with us
10:30and I just love that small town vibe
10:33where everybody sort of knows each other
10:34and supports each other.
10:36You found your people.
10:37Yeah, we did.
10:38Yeah, we found our place and our people.
11:08Love it.
11:10I'm having a blast.
11:11But for me, there's one thing
11:13that can make or break a festival experience
11:15and that is the Dunnies.
11:23As far as festival toilets go,
11:25this is a Rolls Royce.
11:26Excuse-a.
11:30Unlike many festival toilets,
11:33these ones have nice pictures
11:34and, I'm happy to report,
11:37very little offensive smell,
11:39which means satisfied patrons.
11:42I'm told the man responsible
11:44for curating this pleasant experience
11:46is Hamish Skirmer.
11:48Hamish, I hear you're the person
11:50behind these amazing looms.
11:52Yes, I am, yes.
11:53We like to make them look good
11:54as well as feel good and smell good.
11:56So, yeah.
11:56What was the inspiration?
11:58For making these toilets,
12:00giving people dignity at events.
12:02I've been running my own event
12:03for many, many years
12:04and that was it,
12:06is that portaloos don't give you
12:08that experience of good times
12:09and I did environmental science
12:12as a student
12:12and this just brought it all together.
12:14Events, science, composting loos,
12:17changing the world from the bottom up.
12:19What are the features of these loos?
12:21Well, I think the first feature
12:22is that we don't use any water or chemicals
12:24and we make them clean.
12:26They're green,
12:27they're 100% compostable,
12:29we're turning the nutrients
12:30back to organic compost
12:32and we hope to grow food with it.
12:35Oh my God!
12:37Food?
12:38I've got to find out more.
12:41So Hamish has invited me
12:42to his family's block
12:43on the outskirts of El Dorado
12:45for a little lesson
12:47in environmental science.
12:49You can go for the long range shot.
12:51Oh!
12:53Oh!
12:54Oh!
12:55Yes!
12:56Well done.
13:00Anyone who's got a garden
13:02understands that the gardener
13:04or the farmer
13:04with the most manure wins.
13:06It's the ancient rule of life
13:08and soil development in Australia.
13:11If you don't have manure,
13:12you're behind the eight ball.
13:14But people are a bit weird
13:15about human poo
13:16being put on the garden.
13:17Why is that?
13:18Is it because we haven't
13:18treated it properly?
13:20Well, yeah,
13:21I think largely
13:22there's a really good reason
13:24why your bum hole
13:25and your mouth is separated
13:27and that is because
13:28we're not supposed to eat turds
13:31and I'm all up
13:33for no turd burgers.
13:34I'll never put it on the menu.
13:36Well, that's a relief.
13:39Hamish's toilets
13:39rely on natural composting processes
13:42that kill harmful pathogens
13:44and break the effluent down
13:45into safe organic material.
13:48So it's just accepting
13:50that we're part of ecology,
13:52not separate to it.
13:53Hamish and his family
13:55run a successful music festival
13:56on this property
13:57called Folk, Rhythm and Life
13:59and it was that experience
14:01that led him
14:02to his Purika moment.
14:04Well, this is where it all started.
14:07This is the ground zero
14:08of the ablution revolution.
14:11Oh, my God.
14:11We're composting as a solution.
14:13This is the first
14:15festival composting toilet
14:17system in the world.
14:18Wow.
14:18There was no other festival
14:19to have 100% compost toilets.
14:22We built it over a few days
14:25with my dad and my brothers
14:26and some friends
14:27and we really knew
14:28that what we had done
14:29was going to have local,
14:31national,
14:32international significance.
14:33Hamish created
14:35packable, portable toilets
14:36and started a business
14:38called The Natural Event.
14:39Pretty soon,
14:41his dunnies
14:42were gracing festivals
14:43across Australia.
14:44That's the saying,
14:46you can't polish a turd
14:47into a diamond.
14:48I'm like, well, you can.
14:49These are the sorts of nuggets
14:50I like finding.
14:53His next step
14:55was to take
14:55his simple technology overseas.
14:58So far, he has serviced
15:00some 480 festivals
15:02across 13 countries,
15:04including over 1,000 toilets
15:06at Glastonbury.
15:08He now claims to possess
15:10the largest pile
15:11of human excrement
15:13in the world,
15:14a mountain in the UK
15:15of some 350 tonne,
15:18which begs the question,
15:20what happens
15:21to all that poo?
15:25So here's the pile
15:26of aged,
15:29matured,
15:29cooled compost myth.
15:31Yeah.
15:32This is an amalgamation
15:33of both our festivals,
15:35toilets
15:35and other events
15:37that we've done.
15:38And I'll just dig out
15:39a little bit.
15:40Yeah.
15:41Okay, so
15:42you can see
15:43that there's no definition.
15:45No smell.
15:45Well, there's earthy smell.
15:47But that's it.
15:48It's not...
15:48And it's really just
15:49like any other
15:50matured, properly made
15:52compost pile.
15:53Yeah.
15:54Looks like any other mulch.
15:55Now, be game.
15:57Just feel that
15:57because I want you
15:58to feel the temperature.
15:59See how it's a bit warm.
15:59It's a hot one.
16:00Yeah.
16:03But it's not a steamer.
16:04Not a steamer.
16:05No.
16:05No longer.
16:06No longer a steamer.
16:07Was a steamer.
16:08Ex-steamer.
16:08Ex-steamer.
16:09Oh, I love it.
16:09Yeah, so to me,
16:10it really is
16:12nine-tenths of it's
16:13in your mind.
16:14It used to be a banana.
16:15Then it was a turd.
16:17Then we've composted.
16:18And now we're going
16:19to make basil.
16:23These days,
16:24Hamish's focus
16:25has changed
16:26to helping out
16:26communities in need
16:27around the world.
16:29The thing that does
16:30inspire me
16:31is taking this
16:32really simple technology
16:34into places
16:35where community members
16:36are actually affected
16:38both in health
16:39and in happiness
16:41with a constant
16:42lack of good sanitation.
16:442.6 billion people
16:46don't have toilets.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Where sanitation
16:49is a real impact
16:51on their health.
16:52Today,
16:53Hamish's passion
16:54is seeing
16:55how composting toilets
16:56can help
16:56at-risk communities
16:57and disaster zones.
16:59And look,
17:00the basics are this.
17:01Less transport,
17:04less chemicals,
17:05less water,
17:06more chance
17:07that the nutrients
17:08can return
17:08to the soil profile
17:09and potentially
17:10grow food.
17:12Hamish,
17:13you have changed
17:13my perspective
17:14on how we deal
17:15with human poo.
17:16Thanks.
17:16It's wild.
17:17Yeah.
17:18The next time
17:18you're at a festival
17:19having a crap,
17:21think it, mate.
17:25Yeah.
17:26Oh, my God, yes.
17:31It seems that
17:32turning trash
17:33into treasure
17:34is a way of life
17:35in El Dorado.
17:45Every month,
17:46the local community
17:47runs a food share day.
17:49I've arrived
17:50just in time
17:51to check it out
17:52and I haven't
17:54come empty-handed.
18:15Hello, Sue.
18:16How are you going?
18:17Me, hello.
18:18Lovely to see you.
18:19Lovely to see you, too.
18:21Look at this
18:21incredible produce.
18:22Absolutely wonderful.
18:24Some amazing items today.
18:26Look, I brought
18:26some things.
18:27Brilliant.
18:27Some lemons
18:28and limes for you.
18:29I love it.
18:30Sue Phillips
18:31is a doyen
18:32of El Dorado.
18:33She's been helping
18:34out with food share
18:35for years.
18:37What is food share?
18:39Well, food share
18:40is the opportunity
18:41to bring people together,
18:42bring along
18:43their own produce
18:44that they grow
18:45in their own gardens.
18:46If they have excess,
18:48it's there
18:48for people to take.
18:49If they come along
18:51and they don't have
18:52those items
18:52in their house,
18:53they can actually
18:54come along
18:54and take whatever
18:55they like.
18:56You don't have
18:57to bring stuff
18:58to take stuff.
18:59It's all free.
19:00And it's a wonderful
19:02opportunity to get
19:02community together
19:03and chat
19:05and join in
19:05with one another
19:06and be supportive.
19:07It's an event,
19:08isn't it?
19:09So for the town,
19:10it's an amazing
19:10little event each time.
19:12El Dorado
19:13is a town of gold
19:16Not the kind
19:17that can be
19:18born or sold
19:19I'm loving
19:20how this unwanted
19:21produce is being
19:22turned into the chance
19:23to share
19:24and the chance
19:25to hang out together.
19:27It's a place
19:28that's just right
19:30Is food share
19:31an indication
19:31that the community
19:34is interested
19:34in ecology?
19:36Yes,
19:37people make sure
19:38that they don't
19:38have to send
19:40their food to waste.
19:41It's there
19:41for other people
19:42to use.
19:42If there are items
19:43that really can't
19:44be used,
19:45people will take
19:46them home
19:46and compost them
19:47and we do encourage
19:48people not to use
19:49plastic bags.
19:50If we can,
19:51we're into paper bags
19:53and that sort of stuff
19:54as well.
20:00Food share
20:03is also an opportunity
20:05for local community
20:06groups to raise
20:07much needed funds
20:08through sausage sizzles
20:09and cake stalls.
20:11The generosity
20:14in the community
20:15just touches my heart.
20:17This is beautiful.
20:20El Dorado
20:21is golden
20:24It's a place
20:25that's just right
20:36I'm keen
20:37to find out
20:37more about
20:38El Dorado's
20:39golden history
20:40so I'm checking
20:41out the local
20:42museum.
20:43Welcome to
20:44the El Dorado
20:44schoolhouse
20:45and museum
20:47these days.
20:48What an amazing
20:49old building.
20:50And look who's here.
20:51My new best
20:52friend Sue
20:53who also just
20:54happens to be
20:55president of
20:56the museum
20:56association.
20:59So this is the
21:00main story
21:01about the gold
21:01mining history
21:03in here.
21:04When did the
21:05gold rush
21:05start here?
21:07About 1850
21:08they did initially
21:09first find gold
21:10but they didn't
21:11start mining it
21:12until about 1857
21:13that's when the
21:14mining companies
21:15actually started
21:16to go in
21:17and do deep
21:18lead mining
21:18and at that
21:21time then
21:21the population
21:22started to build
21:23and you can tell
21:25that because of
21:26the number of
21:26pubs that actually
21:27ended up being
21:28here.
21:30There were around
21:31ten pubs,
21:32three newspapers,
21:33banks,
21:34butchers,
21:35general stores
21:36and blacksmiths
21:37in this bustling
21:38little town.
21:39But gold production
21:41dwindled in the
21:421870s
21:43and so too
21:44did the population.
21:46Today
21:47just 382 people
21:49call Eldorado
21:50home.
21:51Only one pub
21:52remains
21:53and it also
21:54serves as both
21:55a post office
21:55and general store.
22:01These days
22:01a new generation
22:03is moving
22:03into the area
22:04drawn by its charms
22:06and the chance
22:07to live closer
22:08to nature.
22:20Andy Pye
22:21is one of
22:21those tree
22:22changers.
22:25He and his
22:26young family
22:26moved to
22:27Eldorado
22:28in 2021.
22:32I just
22:33wanted to
22:34kind of deprive
22:36the kids
22:36of a fast
22:37life really
22:38and just
22:39give them
22:39the space
22:40to breathe,
22:41space to
22:42play.
22:44It sort
22:45of worked
22:45out really
22:46well to be
22:46honest because
22:47when we
22:48lived in the
22:49city there
22:49would be no
22:50way that the
22:51kids would
22:51just be like
22:51spending hours
22:53in nature
22:53and be fine
22:55with it.
22:56But just
22:57naturally over
22:58time it's just
22:58become the
22:59norm.
23:03Good job.
23:05Why Eldorado?
23:06It's literally
23:07two to five
23:09minutes away
23:09from a
23:10camping spot
23:11from a
23:12billabong
23:12from a
23:13river.
23:14No, no,
23:14please, please,
23:16no, stop!
23:17You're right,
23:17use your
23:18ore.
23:18No, I'm
23:20serious.
23:27Andy is a
23:28well-known
23:29painter,
23:29renowned for
23:30his landscapes.
23:31He's represented
23:33by a gallery
23:33in downtown
23:34Sydney but
23:35likes to
23:36paint out
23:36in the bush.
23:39Today he's
23:40in the hills
23:41just outside
23:41Eldorado
23:42and has
23:43very kindly
23:44invited me
23:45along.
23:49I don't know
23:50what I'm doing.
23:52It's a good
23:53start.
23:54I've never
23:55painted with
23:56oils.
23:57Really?
23:57No.
23:58Okay.
23:59Isn't that
23:59weird?
24:00My dad was
24:00a painter but
24:01I never
24:01painted in
24:02oils myself.
24:03Your old
24:03man was a
24:03painter?
24:04Yeah.
24:05He loves
24:05it.
24:06I think it's
24:06the only
24:07thing that
24:07keeps him
24:07sane, to
24:08be honest.
24:11There's
24:12something
24:12tremendously
24:13freeing about
24:14being out in
24:14the elements
24:15and just
24:16creating.
24:16This is so
24:17fun.
24:18I can see
24:19why it appeals
24:20so much to
24:21both my dad
24:21and Andy.
24:23You can get
24:24yourself stuck
24:25very quickly
24:26in a studio
24:28and you
24:30miss the
24:31interaction.
24:32I can be
24:33painting one
24:34moment and
24:36it might rain
24:37a little bit,
24:38just a little
24:39bit on a hot
24:39day and that
24:40tree in front
24:41of you will
24:41actually go pink
24:42in front of
24:42your eyes,
24:43you know,
24:44pinkish purple.
24:45If you're in a
24:46city painting and
24:47you're not
24:48exposing your
24:50creative mind to
24:51the landscape
24:52on a regular
24:52basis, you're
24:54going to forget
24:54those things,
24:55you're going to
24:55miss them.
24:58How do you
24:59think your work's
24:59changed since
25:00you've been here?
25:02In the city, I
25:04felt like I was
25:04just creating the
25:05same picture over
25:06and over again.
25:07So now that I'm
25:09here, I've been
25:10able to just
25:11freely experiment
25:13and that can do
25:14strange and
25:15interesting things
25:16to the pictures.
25:17I feel like for
25:19the first time,
25:20I don't have to
25:21think about the
25:23bush from a
25:23distance, I can
25:24be in it and I
25:25can observe it and
25:27let it fuel me on
25:27a daily basis.
25:31All right.
25:31All righty.
25:32Andy, this is
25:33awesome.
25:34Oh, stop.
25:35It's excellent.
25:36I love it.
25:37I love it.
25:38It's free.
25:39Thank you.
25:41It's beautiful.
25:42I love those
25:43pinks in the back.
25:44Oh, thank you.
25:45I'm really happy
25:46though.
25:46It's been the
25:48best thing ever.
25:49I can't wipe the
25:50smile off my back.
25:51Thanks for visiting.
25:52Thanks for
25:52visiting.
25:53Thanks for taking
25:54me out here in
25:54this beautiful
25:55landscape.
25:55Anytime, Miff.
25:56Can I be an
25:57artist now?
25:58You are an
25:58artist.
25:58Can I pretend?
25:59You are a real
26:00artist right now.
26:12My time in this
26:13special part of the
26:14world is just about
26:15done, but I'm going
26:17out with a bang at the
26:18off-grid festival
26:19parade.
26:27I've had such a good
26:28time here in El Dorado.
26:29I've learned that
26:30it's a little town
26:31with big ideas.
26:33Some of them are
26:34spreading across the
26:35globe.
26:36I was bold enough to
26:38feel as though we
26:39could take it from our
26:40little patch here in
26:41El Dorado to the
26:43world.
26:44The dunnies that
26:45change the world.
26:46Yeah.
26:46I love it.
26:47Yeah.
26:48And some are
26:49bringing the world to
26:50El Dorado.
26:52It's bringing
26:52something new to the
26:53town and lots of
26:54tourists that come
26:55from all over
26:56Australia, so that's
26:57really exciting for a
26:58small town.
26:58Yeah.
27:00I've learned mostly
27:01though, that you can
27:02be doing good for the
27:03world and for your
27:04community, but you can
27:05also have a good time
27:07doing it.
27:22next time I'm meeting the
27:25Shearers, a skill that
27:27supercharged Australia's
27:29early economy.
27:30The good old days, the
27:32best thing about the good
27:32old days, they're gone.
27:33I'm here to find out
27:35what's changed in a
27:36world where many now
27:37pursue careers.
27:39Teamwork makes the
27:40dream work.
27:41And some chase world
27:43records.
27:44So it's just a continuous
27:46pain barrier you've got to
27:47try and get through and
27:48you just can't let it
27:50defeat you.
27:52I're going to let it
27:55Gracias.
