00:01Bradley and Barney are back.
00:03Come on!
00:03And this time they're heading further from home than ever before.
00:07Australia!
00:08Wow!
00:12This Aussie adventure kicks off in Australia's iconic Urzans 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?
00:35Well, 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.
00:41Guys, I really don't want to do this.
00:42I want to.
00:54Sydney Opera House, yes!
00:59Can you hear, can you hear the thunder?
01:04You better watch, you better take cover.
01:08I love it! I love it!
01:13Brad, Barney and Brad's invisible flute have arrived in Australia's largest city, Sydney.
01:18Home to over a hundred beaches and probably the most famous opera house in the world.
01:23Here we go, Dad. Back on the road.
01:25So, Sydney, what do you think?
01:26I think it's great and don't call me Sydney.
01:30That's terrible.
01:31I've been waiting for years to do that joke.
01:33That's terrible.
01:33The boys are starting off in one of Sydney's oldest neighbourhoods, the Rocks,
01:37site of the first European settlement back in 1788.
01:41Back then, it was packed with convicts, sailors and more than its fair share of shady characters.
01:46These days, it's more cafes, galleries and tourists.
01:50This is a lovely area, isn't it?
01:52So, look at that.
01:53Old Georgian buildings.
01:54I'll tell you what, this has got old England written all over it.
01:57Victoria armour.
01:58Fantastic. I love it.
01:59If I was going to live in Sydney, this is where I want to live.
02:02Yes, nice.
02:03I thought we'd start in Sydney and we're going to go all the way up the East Coast
02:06and we're going to end somewhere that's on my personal bucket list
02:09and I think it might be yours as well.
02:10Is it the pub?
02:11The Great Barrier Reef.
02:12No.
02:13The Great Barrier Reef.
02:14The Great Barrier Reef.
02:15If I get there and it's just a regular barrier reef and it ain't great,
02:18I'm going to go, well, what's the point?
02:20You've got to be excited and feel lucky that you're going to the Great Barrier Reef.
02:23You've got to be excited like I'm driving you.
02:25You just sit there, you're looking at your phone,
02:28coming out with all this old malarkey you come out with
02:30and I've got to go, wow, wow, fantastic.
02:32I've got to concentrate, I've got to do that and I've got to drive out of my...
02:38That's a great view. Look at that.
02:40The Opera House there. Wow.
02:42Do you want to know what we're up to today?
02:43Day one, it's going to end in tears, isn't it?
02:46No, no, it's not going to end in tears.
02:48All right, what are we doing then?
02:49We've seen Sydney now from the RV.
02:51Yeah.
02:52We're going to go see Sydney from the air.
02:54We're just going to go in a nice little plane.
02:57We're going to fly over Sydney.
02:58It'll be nice.
02:59OK.
03:00You've been in a plane before.
03:01Yeah, but not a little one.
03:03We've jumped out of a little one.
03:04I didn't jump out at all.
03:06I was strapped to a bloke's black and he threw himself out of a plane.
03:08I had no option.
03:11Come on, Brad.
03:12With its famous harbour, golden beaches and iconic landmarks,
03:15there's only one way really to appreciate the full epic vista.
03:19And that's from 5,000 feet up.
03:21Oh, look.
03:22Yeah.
03:22Is that a biplane?
03:24Although flying with a team named after the notorious Red Baron implies this might not be your run-of-the
03:29-mill scenic tour.
03:31G'day, boys.
03:31Hello.
03:32How's it going?
03:32Welcome to Australia.
03:34Thanks for having us.
03:34These are really cool.
03:35I'm Barney.
03:36This is my dad, Brad.
03:37Good to meet you.
03:37Good to meet you.
03:37Good to see you.
03:38Good to meet you, Brad.
03:39This is my wingman, Mark.
03:40Nice to meet you, Mark.
03:41I'm not sure if you know, but today we're going to be flying in formation together.
03:46Cool, right?
03:46You'll probably never have flown this close with another aircraft.
03:50Yeah, it's going to be great.
03:51Yeah.
03:51So, Amir, how long have you been doing this?
03:54Aerobatics only started about a week ago, so that's all new for me.
03:58Yesterday for me.
03:58No, I'm just kidding.
03:59I'm just kidding.
04:00I reckon we put Brad in the extra then because you've got the bubble canopy.
04:04In this aircraft, Barney, it's an open canopy.
04:08Great.
04:08So if we go upside down at any stage, you know, I don't think your dad would like that one.
04:13Yeah, okay.
04:14Have you guys seen Top Gun?
04:15Yeah, I have.
04:15I've seen both films.
04:16Okay, you've seen the first one where one rolls upside down and...
04:20Right, yeah, okay.
04:21I think I've seen that clip, actually.
04:23Yeah, so they take a photo.
04:24Yeah, yeah.
04:25We can do that.
04:26No, let's not do that.
04:26Let's just go up, do a little and then come down.
04:29You're nervous, aren't you?
04:29I am nervous, yeah.
04:30Are you scared of heights?
04:31Yeah, no worries.
04:32Well, let's get you guys into a flight suit.
04:34Come on through.
04:34See you in a bit.
04:34Let's go.
04:36Flying in close formation leaves no margin for error.
04:39With the planes only three metres apart, the Walshers will be so close, Barney will definitely
04:43be able to see the fear in his dad's eyes.
04:46After you, sir.
04:47Welcome, first class.
04:49The things I do, he is going to be absolutely cacking himself right now.
04:55You know Top Gun?
04:57Yeah.
04:58Like a goose in Top Gun, I'm chicken.
05:01Can chickens fly, Brad?
05:03Well, I suppose you're about to find out.
05:05The pre-flight check's done.
05:07It's tray tables up, seats in their upright position, and time for take-off.
05:12See you up there, Dad.
05:24That's crazy.
05:26Wow.
05:28See, you can see he's not actually that close.
05:30Well, that's close enough.
05:31Don't worry about that.
05:33Hello, Dad.
05:33Can you hear me?
05:34How you doing?
05:35Um, okay.
05:38Have a look to your left-hand side there.
05:40You can see that Sydney harbour there.
05:42Dad, this is amazing.
05:44This is so special.
05:45It really is.
05:46It's a beautiful part of the world, I have to say.
05:49Why don't I show you it upside down, Brad?
05:52It's even more beautiful.
05:54Ha!
05:55No thanks.
05:57I think you misunderstood, Brad.
05:58You're not there for the 360-degree views.
06:01You're there for the full 360-degree experience.
06:04Worst of all, there's no refunds.
06:07Oh, boys, here we go.
06:08Here we go.
06:09Run, boy, run.
06:11With top speeds over 200 miles per hour, Brad and Barney will be experiencing up to 5 Gs in the
06:16turns.
06:17Easily enough for the untrained to lose consciousness.
06:20Oh, dear God.
06:22The sun will be guiding you.
06:24Contact.
06:25You can see what's on the left, look.
06:27Yeah.
06:28Oh, no.
06:31F*** me.
06:32Oh, Jesus.
06:33We got him right.
06:35Oh, my God.
06:36We got him in the sights.
06:37We got him in the sights.
06:39You're on top gun now, Brad and Barney.
06:40Oh.
06:41Yeah.
06:45No.
06:46Oh.
06:47Oh.
06:47Yeah, we got him.
06:50Yee-haw.
06:54Oh.
06:56Oh.
06:57I hated that every second of it.
07:00Ha-ha-ha.
07:01F*** off.
07:01I'm afraid you're not done just yet, Brad.
07:04There's still time for one more, and probably the most dangerous manoeuvre of all.
07:08The iconic Top Gun formation.
07:11Whoa.
07:12Fred Barron, here I go.
07:13Oh, my God.
07:18Oh, my God.
07:21Oh, my God.
07:24Oh, my God.
07:36We got a combat gun.
07:37It's too close.
07:38Baby.
07:39F*** off.
07:40We got a combat gun.
07:41Two.
07:43Runners rolling.
07:45Oh, f*** that.
07:47Hey.
07:48There we go.
07:50Yee-haw.
07:51F*** off.
07:59Oh, dear.
08:00Day one in Australia, and we've had a chunder down under.
08:04That was awesome.
08:06That is one very broken dad.
08:08God.
08:09That was epic.
08:15That was horrific.
08:18You look green.
08:24Cheers, Mark.
08:25I'm so proud of you.
08:26Hurry up.
08:27I'm so...
08:28Don't put that near me.
08:29I'm so proud of you.
08:30Well done.
08:30I know you hated that, but look, you smashed it.
08:33Hold that bag.
08:34I'm not touching that bag.
08:35Hold that bag.
08:35I'm not touching that bag.
08:37You're disgusted.
08:38No way.
08:40I'm glad I wore me brown underpants.
08:47Oh, dear.
08:47That was insane.
08:48I'm proud of you for doing that, because that was pretty nuts.
08:50Oh, thank you.
08:51It was very stunty.
08:52As far as stunts go, like, that was pretty...
08:54Stunty?
08:55Yeah, it was.
08:56It's like being in a washing machine.
08:58Now I know what my socks feel like in a spin dryer.
09:01You've got a really weird brain.
09:03I do, yeah.
09:03Yeah.
09:04Right, so where are we going now, mate?
09:06You've thrown up, so I don't think you're going to be very hungry, are you?
09:09Not really, but...
09:10But I've sorted out a really nice meal for us.
09:13Proper slap-up meal, but we have to get change for it.
09:15We have to look nicer.
09:16It's called Kangaroo Point.
09:17Where are we going?
09:18Wow.
09:19Do you know, if you look at the profile of a kangaroo,
09:21and if you look at a greyhound dog having a poo,
09:26they look exactly the same.
09:27What?
09:30I'm sure they look the same.
09:36I've got hysterical.
09:39That'll be the empty stomach, Brad.
09:41Just an hour north of Sydney lies the magnificent Moorgamara Nature Reserve
09:45on the banks of the Hawkesbury River.
09:47With its protected coves and nutrient-rich currents,
09:50its seafood is famous throughout Australia,
09:53and it's where Barney has booked them in for a spot of fine dining.
09:56Nice to meet you. How do I look?
09:57You look great.
09:57Thank you, mate, yeah.
09:58So, tell me, why do we have to...
10:00Be so smart?
10:01Well, this is a proper slap-up meal, you know.
10:03We've got to look the part, yeah?
10:04Yeah, lovely.
10:05Welcome.
10:06This family-owned restaurant is run by Sheridan,
10:08with the help of her dad, Phil.
10:10But, in true Breaking Dad fashion, this isn't any old restaurant.
10:14For a start, it's a little trickier to get to
10:16than your average high street joint.
10:18So, whereabouts is your restaurant?
10:19Look, it's just around the corner here.
10:21We are quite secluded.
10:23It's special, it's very private, you know.
10:24We basically have the place to yourself.
10:26Thank you, guys.
10:26Oh, wow, thank you.
10:28You ready?
10:29Oh, hang on a minute.
10:30Oh, girls.
10:31That's why there's no restaurant,
10:33because there's actually no restaurant.
10:34It's just a table in the water.
10:37It's really cool.
10:38I was told to bring this suit.
10:39Don't worry, we've got you covered.
10:41You have? By what?
10:41We've got some waders to put on.
10:43I saw it. I get you really dressed up.
10:46What do you think?
10:47Best restaurant in Sydney.
10:49Thank you, guys.
10:50Do you serve soul?
10:51I've got plenty of soul.
10:53The lower Hawkesbury River is where fresh water
10:56from the Blue Mountains meets the Pacific Ocean,
10:58creating a little slice of oyster heaven.
11:01Sheridan came up with its once-in-a-lifetime
11:03dining experience during COVID,
11:05when the family oyster farm
11:06became the ultimate socially distanced restaurant.
11:09What happened to the other people in the queue?
11:10Did they drown?
11:11They are the dinner.
11:12No, no.
11:13They are the dinner.
11:14So, we've got your fresh dinner over here.
11:17Experience, isn't it?
11:18Look, look what's happening.
11:20Awesome.
11:21Harvested from the very waters you're standing in.
11:23Love this. This is great, isn't it?
11:25The Sydney rock oyster is by far
11:27Australia's most popular oyster,
11:28with around 96 million eaten each year.
11:32Have you ever opened an oyster before?
11:34Never.
11:35Then?
11:35Oh!
11:37I'm trying to save it.
11:39I've got to be funny.
11:40It's about eight quid for bolly just slagging the water.
11:42So, you ready to have a go?
11:44Yes.
11:45Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy up to two o'clock.
11:46Nice.
11:47Take the lid off.
11:48Yay!
11:49It's not so easy, is it?
11:50No, the wind did that.
11:52The wind...
11:53Cheers.
11:53Cheers.
11:56You've probably never had oysters this fresh in your life.
11:58Oh, that's lovely, guys.
12:00So, what makes a Sydney rock oyster special from other types of oyster?
12:03It's an indigenous oyster.
12:05It's the oyster that was here for...
12:0740,000 years.
12:0840,000 years that we know of.
12:09So, did you just say 40,000 years?
12:11Yes.
12:12And the rock oysters are native to this specific area?
12:15The east coast of Australia.
12:16The east coast of Australia.
12:17We also have a really unique oyster that is a specialty.
12:22So...
12:23Oh, my God!
12:28Wow, that is amazing, isn't it?
12:29What kind of oyster is that?
12:30It's a Pacific oyster.
12:31OK.
12:32We used to call it the Japanese oyster.
12:34Considered a delicacy in the Far East, the giant Pacific oyster is not for the faint-hearted.
12:39Growing to over 30 centimetres long, this is the oyster-eating equivalent of a bungee jump.
12:44There we go.
12:44Look at the size of that!
12:47No!
12:50Now, we're just going to watch because it would be rude if we would have any, right, Dan?
12:53Was this a chick oyster?
12:54No.
12:54Is it made of rubber or something?
12:56No.
12:56No, you watched me harvest it and try and...
13:06What's it like?
13:08I'm not sure about that.
13:10I'll tell you what, mate.
13:11People want them.
13:11It's...
13:12It's in a quiet taste, I'll have to be honest.
13:16Seriously?
13:18I'll tell you what, you've absolutely nailed it with this restaurant.
13:20Because you come back for dinner, you've got to do about five grand for Bollinger before you get a glass.
13:24That's right.
13:25See you guys.
13:26Thank you very much.
13:26That was great.
13:27What about that?
13:28I love that.
13:29Oh, let me in.
13:31Good potatoes.
13:34Let's go surfing now.
13:36Everybody's learning how to come on a safari with me.
13:42What about this then, Dan?
13:43No, I actually like it here.
13:45It's cool, eh?
13:46Yeah.
13:46So this is Manly Beach.
13:48Oh, right, yeah.
13:49One of a hundred beaches in Sydney.
13:51Australians on a beach are as happy as a pig in...
13:54Well, you get the idea.
13:55Starting your day at the beach is practically a way of life,
13:58and why every morning the Sydney locals flock to the sand at sunrise.
14:02This is where the very first surfing competition was held, here in Manly Beach.
14:06Oh, what?
14:07No, you know, Hawaii?
14:08No, here in Manly Beach, Australia.
14:11Oh, I thought it was Hawaii.
14:111964.
14:12I can't believe, seriously, the amount of people that are on the beach so early in the morning.
14:17It's an absolute joke.
14:18And what?
14:19Why are they at work?
14:20What do they do for a living?
14:21You find everything to moan about.
14:24I do not.
14:25Interesting thing about this place, right?
14:27Manly Beach.
14:28People come here to moan.
14:30Is that true or are you winding up?
14:32They do.
14:32They get up in the morning, they come here, they moan about trivial things,
14:35and then they run in the sea to get rid of all the stress and anger of before they start
14:39their day.
14:39I moan and I go and get rid of the moan?
14:41Yeah.
14:42This is like cleansing, is it?
14:43This is a cleansing experience.
14:45Have fun.
14:46Right, get your moans out!
14:48You want to shower back?
14:49What are you doing?
14:50What?
14:51You have to shout about it.
14:53Give me a chance and I'll come all the way back to see what you just said.
14:56You have to go in there, you have to shout, you have to moan, you have to go,
14:59I'm fed up of not being able to hear anything because I'm old and 65 and my hearing kind.
15:04You don't need to shout now, is there?
15:06Right, so what have you got to moan about?
15:14Whoah uh!
15:15Whoah!
15:15Whoah!
15:15Whoah!
15:17Whoah!
15:18Whoah!
15:19Whoah!
15:20Whoah!
15:22My dad moans are everything!
15:27Well, I'll tell you what, when you're a dad, you'll moan, because you'll have kids, and your kids will drive
15:34you mad.
15:38You know what you've done! You cannot be wearing these on Australian soil, fellas!
15:44Come on, now one of these kerns of shame, hey? What is going on?
15:48Budgie smuggler fashion in fraction notice, because we're not wearing budgie smugglers.
15:52Yeah, our job in Australia is to go around the beaches and find people who are in these things.
15:58What is that?
15:59I'll tell you what, I hope you're not watching this in 3D, you'll have your eye out.
16:03How much is the fine? 50 bucks?
16:05Yeah, 50's flat.
16:06Okay, we're on the clock here, let's get it going, please.
16:09I know, I apologise. 50 bucks.
16:11There it is, there it is!
16:13It's actually 50 each.
16:14Yes, thank you, buddy, please.
16:16Thank you very much, please.
16:17It's in the fine print.
16:18That last ticket is easy.
16:19Beers are on me tonight, boys.
16:20Thank you very much.
16:23They've got a runner.
16:25They've got a runner.
16:29Having finally freed themselves from the fashion police, the boys thought it best to leave town.
16:33Just two hours west of Sydney, the Blue Mountains feel a world aware, offering fresh mountain air and views to
16:40die for.
16:40That's if this famous landscape isn't completely shrouded in fog.
16:44There ain't no mountain high enough
16:48Ain't no valley low enough
16:52Ain't no river wide enough
16:55It's Marvin Gaye. Do you know what happened to Marvin Gaye?
16:57No.
16:58His dad shot him.
16:59Did he actually?
17:00So watch it.
17:04Oh, look at this, Barnes.
17:06We are heading into the abyss.
17:08I know.
17:08It is freezing.
17:10Did you know it was going to be like this?
17:12Of course I did. That's why I put jeans on.
17:14Well, why didn't you say something to me then?
17:16I'm freezing.
17:17I did. I said it's going to be colder up the mountain.
17:19Yeah, but I didn't know it was going to be this cold.
17:21The Blue Mountains is ten times older than the Grand Canyon.
17:24Is it really?
17:25Yeah.
17:26There's over 130 different plant and animal species in the Blue Mountains.
17:30They have parrots, parakeets.
17:32Yeah.
17:32Cockatoos, black cockatoos, white cockatoos.
17:35Have you ever seen a cockatoo?
17:37I'm not answering that.
17:39I'm not putting up with that nonsense, OK?
17:44We're not here to put up with your stupid jokes, all right?
17:54It's just so childish.
18:02Well, this might wipe the smile off his face.
18:05Barney has booked Brad a trip on the scenic Skyway, the largest cable car in the Southern
18:10Hemisphere, offering spectacular views of the Blue Mountains' iconic Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls.
18:17Wow, look at this.
18:18This is wonderful.
18:18This is cool, isn't it?
18:19Yeah.
18:22This place is really old.
18:24I'm telling you, 340 million years old.
18:26How do you know that?
18:27It's 340 million years.
18:29Well, exactly.
18:30Well, to the day.
18:31Roughly, I guess.
18:32I don't know.
18:32Say it roughly.
18:33340 million years.
19:03You're actually insufferable.
19:05They're on top of the cable car.
19:05They actually do, yeah.
19:06It's brilliant.
19:07It's funny you say that.
19:08Right, guys.
19:10OK.
19:11Ready to go?
19:12I ain't getting on top of the cable car.
19:14Yeah, we are.
19:15Absolutely no way.
19:15This is the experience, Dad.
19:17It's not just riding a cable car.
19:19Surprise!
19:19And to be fair, Barney never actually specified how you'd be riding on the cable car.
19:24Dad, it'll be fine.
19:25Don't worry.
19:26OK.
19:26We're doing it together.
19:28You always do this to me.
19:29I don't do this to you.
19:30I do this with you.
19:32To get the best views of the area, Brad and Barney will be standing precariously on top of the cable
19:37car, suspended 270 metres above the valley floor.
19:42You nervous?
19:43Yeah, I am, actually, yeah.
19:44You'll be fine.
19:46Ready when you are, mate.
19:47OK.
19:48Good luck.
19:50Stand back.
19:51You OK?
19:52Stand back.
19:57Hey, Brad.
19:58Hey, Rosalie.
19:59How are you?
19:59Just stop there.
19:59Stop there for that moment.
20:00I'll just clip you in.
20:01Oh.
20:01That's it.
20:02Keep climbing the ladder.
20:05Joking aside.
20:07OK, OK, OK, OK.
20:08I can't look out there.
20:10That's OK.
20:10Dad?
20:11Yeah?
20:11You all right?
20:12No, no, absolutely not.
20:14You're welcome to take a seat if you want.
20:16Can I have to mind?
20:16Yeah, yeah.
20:17Yeah, just sit down for a few minutes.
20:18Just get your thoughts, OK?
20:20Oh, God.
20:22See, well, it's funny because you're sort of in the cable car and all of a sudden you step
20:27out.
20:28I didn't look.
20:29I took a glimpse as I come out of the ladder joking aside.
20:32I took a glimpse.
20:33I lost my bottle completely.
20:34How's it going?
20:35Oh, mate, I lost my bottle completely when I got out.
20:38Here we are.
20:39Fantastic.
20:39Oh, be careful, Barn.
20:41So, Rosalie, what are we looking at here?
20:42This is the Blue Mountains National Park.
20:4510,300 square kilometres.
20:47They tell me it's about four times the size of Hong Kong.
20:50Are you OK?
20:51Well, I've had better days, to be honest.
20:53But I'm like, I'm actually...
20:55Oh, dear.
20:56He is terrified of heights.
20:56He actually really is.
20:57Do you need to sit down again, or...?
20:59I actually do.
21:00Thank you, thank you.
21:01It's OK.
21:03It's just very eerie when the mist is coming in.
21:05It's like, and the birds, it seems like we're miles above the birds,
21:08and it's like, oh, my God.
21:10Oh, I tell you what, I wouldn't want to be a stuntman.
21:12To be honest, Dad, you're already a stuntman.
21:15Oh, OK, thank you.
21:16All the stuff that we've done on these trips, through the years,
21:18we've done some crazy stuff.
21:19We really have, yeah.
21:20You know?
21:21What a good start to the adventure this is.
21:22Come on, will you stand up for me?
21:24One little stand up.
21:25OK.
21:25And we'll have a look out.
21:26That's it.
21:27Right.
21:28That's it.
21:29Take a little step forward.
21:30You got it.
21:32Yeah, there we go.
21:33All right, OK.
21:34There we go.
21:34Come here, I'm proud of you.
21:36All right, thank you, mate.
21:38All right.
21:39Australia, here we come, eh?
21:39Yeah.
21:40Australia, here we come.
21:42Oh.
21:43I thought he was going to push me off then.
21:45Look at that tap on the edge.
21:48Oh, my God.
21:49Stand by me.
21:52Oh, stand by me.
21:56Oh, stand by me.
21:58Stand by me.
22:00Stand by.
22:06Oh, stand by me.
22:11Oh, stand by me.
22:12Oh, stand by me.
22:15Stand by me.
22:17When all...
