00:01Bradley and Barney are back.
00:03Come on!
00:04This time, they're heading further from home than ever before.
00:07Australia!
00:08Wow!
00:12Godspeed!
00:13This Aussie adventure kicked off in Australia's iconic ersatz capital, Sydney.
00:17From there, it's full throttle north, past the sun-soaked beaches of the Gold Coast,
00:21before diving headfirst into the dusty wilds of the Queensland outback.
00:25Finally, ending in Cairns, the gateway to the Great Barrier Roof.
00:29As ever, Barney's embracing the culture and chasing thrills.
00:33And Brad?
00:34Hello!
00:35Well, he's just questioning the life choices that led him here.
00:38He's caught to keep hitting me in the eye.
00:40And trying to survive it.
00:41Guys, I really don't want to do this.
00:42I want a tune.
00:51The famous Blue Mountains of New South Wales.
00:55Stunning views.
00:56Unique rock formations.
00:58Bathed in glorious sunshine.
01:02But not today.
01:04This is what our trips are about, Dad.
01:05It's all about adventure.
01:06What do you mean adventure?
01:07I can't see anything.
01:08We're right in the Australian bush right now, in the Blue Mountains.
01:11Like, this is cool.
01:11Well, it's really cool, because it's below zero.
01:15It's not below zero.
01:16Brad and Barney are continuing their adventures amongst these 340 million-year-old peaks.
01:22And, assuming they don't get lost, Barney is about to raise the temperature for his old man.
01:28You must be Hugh.
01:29Yeah?
01:30Barney.
01:31Hugh Ward is a climbing instructor, one of Brad's favourite types of people.
01:35Thank you for having us.
01:37My pleasure.
01:38Welcome to the Boar's Head.
01:39Boar's Head.
01:40Okay.
01:40There's a rock behind us that looks like a boar's head.
01:43Oh, when you can see it.
01:44When you can see it.
01:45Yeah.
01:46Don't worry, Brad.
01:47You're not here for the view.
01:48You're here to cross this perilous 30-metre gap, 200 metres in the air, using the Tyrolean Traverse Method, devised
01:57in the late 19th century as a way to get between the spires of the European Alps without the hassle
02:02of climbing up and down.
02:04Sounds pretty sensible.
02:05And terrifying.
02:06This ain't a good start to the day, Hugh.
02:09It's okay, Brad.
02:10Barney will show you the ropes.
02:12Dad, I'll see you in a minute.
02:13I'll see you on the other side.
02:13Yeah, cheerio.
02:14All right.
02:19Yeah!
02:22Woo!
02:23Jesus Christ.
02:25Oh, my God.
02:29Awesome job, mate.
02:30Thanks.
02:30You can relax, Brad.
02:32He's done it.
02:32He's done it.
02:33Awesome job, mate.
02:33You can relax, Brad.
02:33Okay.
02:35Thanks.
02:35Hugh.
02:36Yeah, Hugh.
02:37Barney.
02:37Nice to meet you, Hugh.
02:38Oh, yes.
02:39This guy's called Hugh, too.
02:41I'm seriously not sure about this, Hugh.
02:45I think the best advice I can give Brad is don't look down, maybe.
02:54He'll do it.
02:55He'll do it.
02:56He'll do it.
02:56I'm proud of him for doing stuff like this, you know.
02:59You're doing great, Dad.
03:01But these don't move.
03:02These stay static, don't they?
03:03That's right, yeah.
03:03And my hands just go along with my body?
03:06Yep.
03:07All right, okay.
03:08Not a fan of heights.
03:09No, he's not.
03:11I really, really tell you, guys, I really don't want to do this.
03:14Dad, you can do it.
03:15No, I can't.
03:15I don't want to do it, Barnes.
03:16Please don't do none of that for me.
03:18Well, you can do it.
03:19You can.
03:20What did I just tell him?
03:22Didn't I just tell him?
03:24He loves it, really.
03:26Slide yourself down so your feet are on that ledge.
03:29Excellent.
03:30You can do it.
03:31I really don't want to, though.
03:33I really don't want to do it.
03:35You can do it.
03:36Do it.
03:37Please, what?
03:40Can you shuffle a little bit toward the edge?
03:46Nice.
03:47Okay, here he goes.
03:49You doing it?
03:50Yeah, doing great.
03:50Yes!
03:54Wow.
04:00Go on, Dad.
04:07You got it.
04:10You got it.
04:15Yes!
04:21Oh, God.
04:25Flawlessome work.
04:27Fantastic, mate.
04:28You did it.
04:29That was amazing.
04:30How do you feel, Dad?
04:31F***ing awful.
04:32You smashed it.
04:33You smashed it.
04:35Oh, Jesus Christ.
04:38You all right?
04:39Good.
04:39Hey, Hugh.
04:40Lovely to meet you, mate.
04:41Yeah, lovely to meet you too, man.
04:42You come over this way for us, please.
04:44That's it.
04:45Well done.
04:45You're in.
04:46Give me a hug.
04:48Well done, Dad.
04:49I don't feel good, mate.
04:50Well done.
04:50I actually don't feel very well.
04:52You managed it.
04:53That was good.
04:54You did really well.
04:58OK.
04:58What have we got to do now?
05:00Now we've got to go back.
05:03Oh, f***ing sake.
05:03No, I'm joking.
05:04I'm joking.
05:04We don't.
05:05We don't.
05:05We'll climb up the rocks.
05:06We don't have to go back.
05:07I'm so sorry.
05:09I've got to sit down.
05:10I've got to have a seat.
05:13Oh, Jesus.
05:16You OK?
05:17I'm shaking, man.
05:18I'm shaking.
05:18I know, I know.
05:20The wind and the rain and the mist.
05:22Oh, Christ.
05:23It's like a horror movie.
05:24It is like horror movie.
05:25Oh, dear.
05:26Cup of tea, I think.
05:27Yeah, cup of tea.
05:28Yeah?
05:28Let's get out the Blue Mountains.
05:29Yeah.
05:32I can see clearly now the rain is gone.
05:38With a well-learned cuppa inside them, Brad and Barney are back on the road and everything
05:43feels brighter.
05:44This is great.
05:45I've got my sunglasses on and I'm loving this.
05:48The warmth is back.
05:50We're out of the mist.
05:51Don't tell me what we're going to do because I'm in a good mood.
05:53Don't ruin it.
05:54I won't tell you, yeah.
05:55Put on a banger, Barnes.
05:56Dan Hartman Instant Replay.
05:58Got it?
06:00Instant Replay.
06:03Instant Replay.
06:07Instant Replay.
06:08Instant Replay.
06:09Instant Replay.
06:20So-called because when Captain James Cook arrived in 1770, he thought it looked a bit
06:26like Wales.
06:27Less so now, I'd imagine.
06:29So yeah, New South Wales.
06:30Yes.
06:31Obviously you can see it's a lot of farmland.
06:33But do you know what New South Wales is famous for?
06:37Sheep.
06:38Sheep.
06:39Sheep.
06:39Why isn't one sheep a shoep?
06:42What?
06:43Well, sheep sounds like the pluralisation of a word shoep.
06:47So if you had one shoep, you'd have two shoeps with three sheeps.
06:52Shope and sheeps.
06:53OK.
06:54Fair enough.
06:55It's funny you're talking about sheep because it lines up quite nicely with what we're
06:59about to do today.
07:01Oh, OK.
07:02Yeah.
07:02We're going to go see some competitive sheep shearers.
07:04Right.
07:05What do you reckon the quickest time someone's ever sheared a sheep?
07:08Five minutes.
07:1014 seconds.
07:12Don't be ridiculous.
07:13How big's the sheep?
07:14Size of a cat?
07:15You're having a laugh, aren't you?
07:17His name was David Fugger.
07:19Make a bottom?
07:20He's a kiwi.
07:21His name is David what?
07:23David Fugger.
07:23He's a quick Fugger, isn't he?
07:26Very quick.
07:27Does he come from a long line of Fuggers?
07:30Behave, Bradley.
07:31Sheep shearing round these parts is serious business.
07:38One shoep, I mean sheep, can produce an average of four and a half kilograms of wool.
07:43That's roughly six jumpers.
07:44Look at this.
07:46Wow.
07:47Hey, guys.
07:48And to get a flavour of how it's done, they're here to help out some shearing experts in the sheep
07:53farming heartland of New South Wales.
07:58It's a funny old laugh, isn't it?
07:59No pressure, gents.
08:01These guys are some of the best in the business.
08:04Look at this.
08:06Wow.
08:07That's amazing.
08:09Hello.
08:09Hi.
08:11Come to see a bit of sheep shearing.
08:12Yeah, absolutely.
08:13That's fascinating.
08:14It is, yeah.
08:15Brad and Barney are meeting Stephen, Peter, Sarah and Melanie, who run an annual sheep shearing competition for charity.
08:22You guys shear sheep competitively, is that right?
08:25Yeah, yeah.
08:26When it's on season.
08:27Yeah.
08:27I can see on your tops it says Sapphire Speed Shear.
08:30How did the club get started?
08:31So we lost our nephew back in 24 to mental health and suicide.
08:38Right.
08:39So we started this to raise money for mental health and, yeah, we donated $11,750 to Senacare, who is
08:48a local mental health supporter.
08:50That's brilliant.
08:51That is great.
08:52Yeah.
08:52That is great.
08:53So it's pretty close to our heart.
08:54You can have a go at doing one if you like.
08:56What would we need to do to do that?
08:57You probably need to look like these guys.
08:59Yeah.
08:59Okay.
09:00Not sure a costume change will pull the wool over the eyes of this lad.
09:05Yep.
09:06Mudmine dressed as lamb.
09:08So do you want to show us what to do then, gentlemen?
09:10Yeah.
09:10Okay.
09:11Jump up.
09:11When you say jump up, what do you mean?
09:13Jump up.
09:14Jump up.
09:15I'll be using the stairs.
09:17Have no fear of that.
09:18Jump.
09:19I don't jump anywhere.
09:20I'm 65.
09:21There was a bloke 65 shearing next to me the other day.
09:23He jumped up.
09:25Cut that bit out.
09:26Good luck.
09:27Yeah, good luck.
09:28Right.
09:29Okay.
09:30I've got you the little one.
09:31Okay.
09:32So I'll do the first little bit.
09:34Yep.
09:34Once it's laying down flat, I'll give you a go.
09:39Before the competitive shearing commences, Brad and Barney are going to need to be guided
09:43through the basics.
09:45Don't look so worried.
09:46Like how to avoid nicking their skin with the clippers and hold them still using just
09:51your legs.
09:52Make it look so easy.
09:53It is.
09:54If you want to lock your left foot in under that sheep's shoulder.
09:58Ready?
09:59I'll just go like this.
09:59Yep.
10:00And I'm going to hold on over the top of your hand.
10:01Okay.
10:02Have it that way.
10:06There you go.
10:07That's all in one go.
10:10Okay.
10:10You pull that cord.
10:12That is hard.
10:13Isn't it?
10:13Yeah, it's really hard.
10:15You ready for a go?
10:16Okay, here we go.
10:17There's no wrestling with them.
10:19You want to dance with them.
10:20Do not want to force them into anything.
10:21No.
10:21Because they will get angry very quick.
10:24Okay.
10:24Well, definitely don't tell them one of your jokes, Brad.
10:27Now, you want to hold it between the eyes and the ears if you can.
10:33Yeah, all the way back, right to its head.
10:42Well, who would have thought Bradley Walsh has an untapped talent for sheep shearing.
10:46Is there nothing this man can't do?
10:48Apart from concentrate with his tongue in his mouth.
10:52I think your dad's got you.
10:56That easy.
10:57Wow.
10:59Look at the start of it.
11:01That was actually a very good dog.
11:03Thank you very much.
11:03Yeah, well done.
11:05Are you sure you haven't done that before?
11:06No, no.
11:07And I was very, very nervous when I was doing that.
11:09Yeah, me too.
11:09The coordination is really tricky.
11:11They've got to lay there willingly because they can just completely annihilate everything
11:16on you.
11:16Yeah.
11:17And these are babies.
11:18These are three to four months old.
11:20So, what do we do now?
11:21If you want to team up with me and you team up with Steve and we'll have a bit of
11:26a race.
11:26Competition?
11:27Yeah.
11:27I think I've already lost.
11:28You look brilliant at that, to be fair.
11:30Thanks.
11:31But I think you're right.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Come on, Steve.
11:34Over here, cockles.
11:35The rules for this one are pretty straightforward.
11:37The professionals start before their less professional team mates tag in.
11:41That's the key to competition.
11:43Don't shake hands.
11:43Come on.
11:44All right, boys.
11:45We've got our judge here that's going to judge how clean you can shear a sheet.
11:49It's the great British shave off.
11:52On your marks, get set.
11:53One, two, three, go.
11:59You ready, Barney?
12:01Yeah, that sheet looks like it has to kill me.
12:04Amazing.
12:05Majestic, Steve.
12:07It's a tag team.
12:09Okay.
12:10The smart money's on team Brad.
12:12The pressure's on, Barney.
12:13Sheer like you've never shone before.
12:15Which, you haven't.
12:16Yeah.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Yeah.
12:20Yeah.
12:20Yeah.
12:22Yeah.
12:34Well, mine looks like he's been for a fight with a lawnmower.
12:40Where's your sheep?
12:41It's gone.
12:41It's sorted out.
12:42Have you done it already?
12:44Judge Aaron has been monitoring their efforts closely.
12:47Hang on.
12:47Well, that's that one.
12:48And although speed is key, ultimately, it's the quality of the shear that's crucial.
12:52Turn him over.
12:53Turn him over.
12:54What's that?
12:55I think the better shorn sheep was Barney's.
12:57Let's go!
12:59Let's go!
13:00It's an upset for the ages.
13:02For winning our sheep shearing competition, there is our trophy.
13:06You didn't say it was a prize.
13:08Wow!
13:09Brilliant, mate.
13:10It's great.
13:10I love it.
13:11I'll tell you what, if people watch this, they have no idea how tricky that is.
13:15Yeah, that was hard.
13:16It is actually rated as one of the hardest jobs in the world.
13:19Yeah.
13:20Every two hours of that is running a marathon.
13:22That is a proper, proper, proper skill.
13:25It's been great meeting you.
13:25And I enjoyed your time in your community.
13:27Thank you very, very much indeed.
13:28Thank you for having us, guys.
13:29It's been great.
13:29Cheers.
13:31Cheers, Pete.
13:31Great to meet you, mate.
13:32Yeah, you too.
13:33God bless you.
13:34And relax.
13:35They're leaving.
13:36No more embarrassing haircuts for you today.
13:38That was really hard.
13:40And to be fair, I didn't really deserve to win that.
13:41Well, to be fair...
13:43Last one back to the...
13:44I can't believe it!
13:48He's pushed me!
13:48Thanks.
13:49Wooleye never.
13:50Barney's rammed Brad and bleats him again.
13:53Betty's feeling sheepish now.
14:11Brad and Barney are heading north-west, across the Queensland border, to the small farming
14:16town of Fallon, on the edge of the outback.
14:19This drives a mere 220 miles, so just down the road, for most Aussies.
14:25We're leaving New South Wales.
14:27Right, yeah.
14:28We're heading into Queensland now.
14:29OK.
14:30Queensland is Australia's second largest state.
14:33It is more than twice the size of Texas, and seven times larger than the UK.
14:39Wow.
14:39So what does that mean?
14:41New South Wales to Queensland?
14:42Different time zone.
14:43What do you mean, a different time zone?
14:45It's directly north.
14:46How could it be a different time zone?
14:47Yeah, we've gone an hour back.
14:49We're going north, and yet I'm going back.
14:51Yeah.
14:51An hour.
14:53I don't feel any different.
14:54Do I look younger?
14:56No, unfortunately not.
14:59Right, so Barnes, where are we going, mate?
15:00OK, we're now going to a place called Thalon.
15:03And what's in Thalon?
15:04It's tiny.
15:05220 people, to be precise.
15:07OK.
15:07That's what's in Thalon.
15:08That's tiny.
15:09Yeah.
15:09Yeah.
15:11Thalon is a typical Aussie outback community.
15:15Here we are, Dad.
15:16Phalon.
15:17This is it.
15:17This is it.
15:18Home to friendly residents.
15:20Hello.
15:21Oh, they're all waving.
15:21Yes, nice.
15:23And local wildlife.
15:25Oh, Dad, there's kangaroos.
15:27Hello.
15:28What are you saying hello for?
15:30Hello.
15:32They're kangaroos.
15:33Hello.
15:33Shall we try and get them over?
15:34They're wild.
15:35They're not going to come over, Barnes.
15:37They might.
15:37What do kangaroos eat?
15:39Grass and leaves, mainly, Barney.
15:41Barnes, there's hardly anyone here.
15:43I know.
15:43That's because they're all here.
15:50This is the Thalon Truck Ball, where teams compete in a biennial competition to earn
15:55local bragging rights.
16:01And raise money for the community's school, that currently has a grand total of 16 pupils.
16:08Time to rev your engines as we welcome you to the Thalon Truck Ball.
16:14So without further ado, it is time to get the pedal to the metal.
16:19Oh, look at them go.
16:20They're spreading out like COVID on a cruise jet and they're digging for gold.
16:24Whoa.
16:26Go on.
16:28Yeah.
16:31Let's go.
16:35Hi, guys.
16:36Hi.
16:37Hello, I'm Barney.
16:38Courtney.
16:38Good to meet you.
16:39Yeah, good to meet you.
16:40Bradley.
16:42Nice to meet you.
16:43What's your name?
16:43Jenna.
16:44This is really cool.
16:46Cool.
16:46So it's all run by our little PNC committee.
16:48Yeah, right.
16:48And all the money goes straight back into the kids.
16:50I love it here.
16:51It's such like a community vibe.
16:52Yeah.
16:52Yeah.
16:53We are lucky.
16:54It's a good place to live.
16:55Yeah, yeah.
16:55Yeah.
16:56And have you lived here all your lives?
16:57I have, yeah.
16:58Yeah, no, I'm a ring in.
16:59We've been here three years now.
17:01That is great.
17:01And how many children do you have?
17:02I've got two little girls.
17:03Right.
17:04Yes.
17:04I've got three.
17:05Right, okay.
17:06Cool.
17:07And they go to the school, right?
17:08So between the two, you make one third of the kids go to that school.
17:11Yeah.
17:11Brilliant.
17:12That is really, really good.
17:14Yeah, we're lucky to have it.
17:15So who's the next team up then?
17:16Well, would you like to have a go?
17:18Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:19We would love to have a go.
17:20Barney, you're with the Mungadai Grasshoppers.
17:23Amazing.
17:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go.
17:24I'm with you guys.
17:25You're with us women.
17:26How's it going?
17:26Barney, Barney.
17:27Of course I am.
17:29Josh.
17:29Where's the girls team?
17:31Come on!
17:31I'm Barney.
17:32Ever the eager beaver or grasshopper, Barney is kitted out and ready to go.
17:38Up the hoppers!
17:39Let's go!
17:40As long as we beat him, I'll be happy.
17:42What are we called?
17:43Tab grabs.
17:43Right, pub grabs.
17:44You ready?
17:45Let's pull!
17:46Whoa!
17:47Hang on, I've got my arm there.
17:48I've got my arm there doing that.
17:49You're supposed to be pulling a truck, Bradley, not a muscle.
17:53While you stretch off, the grasshoppers take their positions.
17:56I'm so excited!
17:5825 metres, six people, two ropes, one nine-ton truck.
18:03Fastest time wins.
18:05The Mungadai grasshoppers have come back over from the border again this year.
18:09With the addition of Breaking Dad star, Barney Walsh.
18:12Oh, there he is, looking as confident as a four-year-old in a Batman T-shirt.
18:18Ready, set, and they're off!
18:24Oh, they're quick out of the tooth!
18:27Great technique, Barney.
18:29I guess.
18:30I honestly have no idea.
18:32Oh, turn them on, turn them on!
18:35Go, Barney!
18:39So, the time to beat has been set.
18:41Can Brad and the pub grubs better end?
18:43That's right!
18:44Right on, our turn.
18:46Our turn.
18:47All right, come on in.
18:48They need to get a wriggle on, though.
18:49It looks like the weather's turning fast.
18:51Oh, my God!
18:52Look at that cloud!
18:53And you do not want to get caught outside in an outback storm.
18:57Hurry up, Brad, come on!
18:58This is our England's favourite daddy, Bradley Walsh.
19:01A man who's seen it all, done it all, and can't remember most of it.
19:05We're ready for the chase to be on.
19:07All right.
19:09Ready, set, and whoop!
19:12Oh, look at that.
19:13They're working harder than a pub for each other.
19:1545 to three days!
19:18Oh, Daddy, you got it!
19:19Let's cheer for Daddy!
19:21Yes, come on, Daddy.
19:22Bend those knees and heave!
19:25Come on!
19:27That's it!
19:29It looks like Bradley's not doing much at all any more.
19:33It's up to our pub club.
19:34Go, go, go, go!
19:35Cotton's gone down!
19:36Cotton's gone down!
19:38Cotton's gone down!
19:41In the Walsh v Walsh head-to-head, it's an easy win for Barney.
19:45How did you find that?
19:47Put it there.
19:48You did well.
19:48Oh, absolutely exhausting.
19:52But there's no time to rest, Brad, as the storm's closing in,
19:55and we need to find out if either of you have done enough to make the podium.
19:58We now have the results from the Thallon truck pool.
20:01Coming in third place, we have the pub grubs.
20:05Come on!
20:07With local team the Bullerman boys in second,
20:10surely that must mean...
20:12We've got the Mungandai grasshoppers in first place.
20:16Yes!
20:17Yes!
20:18Yes, guys!
20:20Thank you!
20:21Come on, guys!
20:23Yes!
20:24Yes!
20:25Congratulations, Barney.
20:26I am sure they couldn't have done it without you.
20:28Thank you so much.
20:29It's just a quick word from me.
20:31The whole community and what you're doing here is just extraordinary.
20:35We've met some wonderful people on our travels thus far.
20:38We're going further north, but I've got to say, we love this.
20:41This is great.
20:41God bless you all and lots of love,
20:43and good luck with the fundraising for the school.
20:48Oh, lovely words, Brad.
20:50Just in time too.
20:51Quick!
20:52Everyone back to the RV!
20:54Once a jolly swag man
20:56camped by a billabong
20:58under the shade of a coolie bar tree.

21:03and waited till his billyball

21:10Waltzing Matilda!
21:12Waltzing Matilda!
21:13You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
21:17And he sang as he watched
21:19and waited till his billyball
21:21you'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
21:26Hooray!
