00:07Gainer, Gainer, who are we?
00:10Gladiator, victory!
00:12Gainer, Gainer, hear our cries!
00:15Gladiators till we die!
00:164, 6, 2, 5!
00:184, 6, 2, 5!
00:202, 4, 6, 2, 5!
00:224, 6, 2, 5!
00:244, 6, 2, 5!
00:264, 6, 2, 5!
00:30There is a rivalry in these parts.
00:32It's about more than sport.
00:35It's about more than passion.
00:37It's all about citrus.
00:44Backroads is in the Queensland town of Gainer,
00:47a farming community on the Burnett River
00:50that specialises in one particular crop.
01:02Since the first orchards were planted in the 1890s,
01:06Gainer has been a vibrant centre of citrus.
01:10It now attracts a workforce from all over the world.
01:13Oh, wow.
01:14Big day, missa.
01:18I thought there were more.
01:21Picking the fruit that makes this town tick.
01:24It pretty much is state of oranges.
01:28State of oranges.
01:30With some willing to do whatever it takes
01:32to fit right in.
01:34And what have you come here today to do?
01:37To throw the oranges.
01:40And on this trip, that includes me.
01:43Down it goes.
01:46I can't feel my lips anymore.
01:50As I try to find out just what this injection of culture
01:54and workers from overseas brings
01:56to the oldest town in Queensland.
02:13Now, I'm not going to seek approval for every single one,
02:16but is that OK, or a bit on the small side?
02:18Yeah, just speak.
02:19Oh, that's my first one.
02:23Oh, no, sorry, I dropped the mandarin.
02:27Oh, the leaves are getting in my face.
02:30You just want to pull them off, but you can't
02:32because it'll rip the skin.
02:34Yeah.
02:35Oh, no, there goes another one.
02:37Sorry.
02:39You have to put it away for lunchtime?
02:42Oh, I get to eat it, though?
02:43Yeah.
02:45My picking teacher, Misa, came from Tonga in 2016.
02:50He's one of 20 Tongans employed in this orchard
02:53via the PALM Scheme,
02:55or Pacific Australia Labor Mobility Scheme,
02:58allowing workers to come over for usually nine months at a time.
03:03And at this farm,
03:04they live together in a number of local houses,
03:06like this one next to the orchard.
03:10So this is home, Misa?
03:11Yeah, this is my house here.
03:13We live with my wife and some couple of my friends.
03:17We're working together in our farm.
03:20Can I smell something cooking?
03:21Yeah, some of the boys stay cooking a bit.
03:24I've been invited to a cook-up Tongan style,
03:28which means lots of meat on a spit
03:31or in an earth oven known as an umu.
03:35And while Misa goes in search of a sweet potato,
03:38I meet Moa,
03:40a picker on his fifth year in Australia.
03:43What brings you back?
03:45After I got my bachelor's of agriculture
03:48and I went back to Tonga,
03:49I couldn't get a job,
03:50and I noticed that it is very hard to find a job there.
03:55And even if I find a job there,
03:57I wouldn't get any money.
03:59I just want to bring money back to my family.
04:03It's so nice to get some money,
04:04bring back home and help them,
04:06which is the main reason why I'm here.
04:09What do they think about you being over here?
04:12It's a challenge.
04:13It's a challenge for me and them as well.
04:16Do you miss home?
04:17A lot, very much.
04:18Every single day we miss home.
04:20What do you do here
04:21to try and make yourself feel at home?
04:25Um, we sell a lot of things together.
04:28Like today, food,
04:31which is what we love the most,
04:32Tongansy.
04:33Do you?
04:34Yeah.
04:35What's your favourite food?
04:37Um, I think the pigs.
04:39Roasted pigs, yeah.
04:47I get the feeling that home
04:49is wherever the umu is.
04:51And with the spit-roasting pig
04:54well on the way to Crispy,
04:55everyone gets changed
04:57and settles in for a bit of music
04:59and a little kava.
05:01A big part of life in Tonga,
05:03it's made from a plant
05:04found in the South Pacific
05:06and has certain relaxing properties.
05:35Oh, that was awesome, guys.
05:37What have we got here?
05:39We've got a kava here.
05:40What have I been missing out on?
05:42Yeah, yeah.
05:42I want to try some.
05:43I'd love to.
05:44Is this a regular thing for you all?
05:46It is very regular.
05:48What is it?
05:49Energy drink.
05:50Energy drink.
05:51Energy drink.
05:52Energy drink.
05:54All right.
05:55Well, let's see how much energy
05:56it gives me, huh?
05:57I don't think I've had kava
05:58since I was in Fiji
06:00in my 20s.
06:02Yeah.
06:02Down it goes.
06:06How is it?
06:09It's nice.
06:10I can't feel my lips anymore.
06:14It's good.
06:15It reminds you of home, huh?
06:16Yeah, it does feel like home.
06:17Yeah, it does feel like home.
06:19Gainter has to be richer for this.
06:23Tongan culture singing out
06:25from these back streets,
06:27leaning heavily into the simple pleasures
06:29of food, music and company
06:32to make Gainter feel more like home.
06:53I like it that there's not a lot of washing up
06:56that's going to have to be done here.
07:01Why do you love doing this?
07:02We just love eating.
07:06Well, thanks for letting me join you.
07:09Of course, this is just the story of one farm.
07:27Gainter has a massive citrus industry
07:29which is just pumping at harvest time.
07:33Backpackers and other travellers
07:34from all over the world
07:36fill the packing sheds.
07:37And at this time of year,
07:39there are still more jobs here
07:40than people to fill them.
07:42Because, just in case you didn't realise it,
07:45citrus is a big deal here.
07:49And coming into town,
07:50you can't miss it.
07:52We're at the Big Orange.
07:54Where else would we be
07:54to greet you lovely people into our town?
08:00It says to me that welcome to Gainter.
08:02You know, this is our town
08:03and this is what we're about.
08:05So it's certainly an icon,
08:07but our biggest icon is Gay Dan
08:10and we love him with a passion.
08:15He was part of the festival back in 1959.
08:19His name was created in 1958
08:22with a competition
08:23where there was something like 100-odd entries
08:25and Mrs Heather Ping won the competition
08:27to be called Gay Dan.
08:35So Gainter is the citrus capital.
08:38Yeah, look, it can be a bit contentious,
08:40but we'll take that, yeah.
08:42Our neighbouring town, Mandubra,
08:44also produced quite a lot of citrus, so...
08:46So competition.
08:47Well, there is,
08:48and competition's good, isn't it?
08:49How fierce is the competition?
08:51Oh, well, when it comes to our football match,
08:53which will be on here on Sunday,
08:55it can become a little bit fierce
08:58on the footy field.
09:01It makes sense that on his visit in 1966,
09:05the 17-year-old then Prince Charles
09:08was given a big orange.
09:15And on the face of it in town,
09:17I wouldn't say it looks too different
09:19to when Charlie was here.
09:35It's been through major floods
09:37in the last decade or so,
09:38but each time it comes back.
09:40This is the oldest town in Queensland
09:43and it's still pretty old school
09:46in the best way,
09:47which means it loves its footy.
09:50And this weekend
09:51is the biggest match of the year.
09:53The Citrus Cup
09:55between the Gander Gladiators
09:57and their Citrus Town rivals
09:59from down the road,
10:01the Mundubra Tigers.
10:10So I'm watching them out there, Rob,
10:12and they're training like
10:13this is the game of their life
10:15this weekend.
10:16It pretty much is.
10:17State of Oranges.
10:18What?
10:19State of Oranges?
10:20Because it's been around
10:22since the 80s
10:23and it is a huge rivalry
10:25between two local Citrus Towns,
10:28Mundubra and Gander.
10:29Gander has the big orange,
10:30Mundubra has the big mandarin.
10:34Citrus Cup
10:35is just one of the biggest events
10:37in this town
10:38every two years.
10:40We haven't had it
10:41for the last, I think,
10:42eight years,
10:42so we are desperate
10:44to win it this weekend
10:45to retain that cup,
10:46to have it back
10:46for such a long time.
10:48And what does it mean to them
10:49to even be able to get out
10:50on the field and play?
10:52Training twice a week,
10:54footy every Saturday
10:55is a huge thing
10:56for this small town.
10:57That physical fitness
10:58and working together,
11:00they are really great mates
11:01that bond well
11:02and they have each other's
11:04back every week.
11:05Good stuff, boys.
11:06Good attack here, boys, eh?
11:10Some of these guys are local,
11:12others travel.
11:13Not all stay around.
11:15But it seems to do
11:16everybody good.
11:18At its core,
11:19people like Matty,
11:20whose father and grandfather
11:22also played
11:23for the Gainder gladiators.
11:25He's grown up
11:26surrounded by people
11:27from all over the world,
11:29seeking out a game
11:30of rugby league
11:31as a means of connection.
11:33Here in Gainder,
11:34I'm a third generation
11:36citrus farmer
11:37and, you know,
11:38I really love that lifestyle.
11:40Gainder's always been
11:41a bit of a melting fire.
11:42Like, here in our team,
11:43you know, we've got
11:45Aboriginal boys,
11:46Torres Strait Islanders,
11:48Pacific Islanders
11:49and Asian boys.
11:51Like, it's funny,
11:51we get a lot of backpackers
11:52and once we had a
11:54flying Dutch winger
11:55that had never played before
11:56and he was pretty funny,
11:58but, yeah,
11:58it helps us out a lot.
12:01I like to think that rugby league
12:03is sort of the great equaliser
12:05and no-one sort of
12:07can get pushed out.
12:08Like, a lot of people
12:09with problems
12:11like come to be part of the group
12:13and we try to welcome them in,
12:15you know,
12:15and help anyone out
12:17that needs it.
12:18How I like to think of it
12:20is that sometimes
12:21we don't need them
12:22but they need us,
12:24you know?
12:25There's no exclusion,
12:26everyone's welcome
12:27and we all like to help
12:28each other out
12:29so that sort of drives
12:30our culture here
12:31and our passion
12:33to do everything we can
12:34for each other.
12:35That's why we're so successful.
12:38Right, eh?
12:39Right.
12:39Howdy, Al.
12:42No, that's it.
12:48Citrus flows through
12:49the veins of Gainda.
12:51It's what makes
12:52its heart beat
12:53and from what I'm seeing
12:55it brings a whole lot
12:56of positives
12:57to the town.
13:05Take Thomas,
13:07a picker extraordinaire
13:09and about 100 times
13:10faster than me.
13:13Originally from Vietnam,
13:15he first settled
13:16in Sydney and Bathurst.
13:18He met his wife,
13:19Wendy
13:19and in 2021
13:22moved to Gainda
13:23to try something new.
13:28What did you do
13:29when you got here?
13:31Actually,
13:31when I got here,
13:32it was hard for me
13:32to get a job
13:33but lucky
13:34that I found a job
13:35on farm.
13:35I became the fruit
13:36on farm.
13:37Hard work?
13:38Very hard work
13:39but I really enjoy it.
13:41I work very hard,
13:42wake up very early
13:44in the morning,
13:45work hard to fulfill
13:45my dream.
13:46And what was the dream?
13:47I try to work hard
13:49to save up money
13:49to open a cafe restaurant.
13:51This is your restaurant?
13:53Yes, yes.
13:54I'm very happy
13:54of what I have now.
13:56Congratulations.
13:57Thank you, Lisa.
14:07It was a very old building,
14:09very old.
14:10It took me two and a half years
14:11to renovate it.
14:12Were you a builder
14:13before as well?
14:14Not quite.
14:15I learn bit by bit
14:16but if sometimes I can't,
14:18I get stuck,
14:18I ask someone else
14:19so I look at YouTube.
14:20And were you still
14:22picking fruit as well?
14:24Yes, I do still
14:25picking the fruit
14:25at the moment
14:26still picking the fruit too.
14:27Fairly speaking,
14:28I feel addicted
14:29to work on farm.
14:30Addicted?
14:31Yeah, because the farm
14:32is great.
14:33Life is very short
14:34for me
14:35and also I have
14:35one life to live
14:36and one Thomas
14:38in life here
14:39to contribute
14:40something for myself,
14:41for my family,
14:42for the community
14:43in which I live.
14:44One Thomas
14:45is achieving
14:46a lot of things.
14:49Thomas not only
14:50fixed up
14:51this whole place
14:52himself,
14:57but at the same time
14:59he and wife Wendy
15:01learned how to cook
15:02from Thomas' brother.
15:06And then Thomas
15:07decided to utilise
15:08his newfound skills
15:10by hiring himself
15:12out as a builder,
15:13currently to be found
15:14fixing up a house
15:15for backpacker pickers.
15:24And all driven
15:25by a desire
15:27to grow his own
15:28on his own land,
15:29which is exactly
15:31what Thomas,
15:32Wendy and their kids,
15:33Stephanie and Alex
15:34are doing.
15:35Planting jackfruit
15:37in their five-acre garden
15:39next to the house
15:40they bought
15:41just over the river
15:42from the cafe.
15:45Wendy Thomas
15:46works so hard
15:47and you do too.
15:49That's how normally
15:50we're doing,
15:51so with us
15:52it's normal day.
15:54A normal day
15:55is working
15:55till midnight.
15:56Oh, yes.
15:57Did you ever think
15:58you would end up
15:59in Gaender?
16:00Oh, no,
16:01exactly, no.
16:02Whenever you go somewhere
16:03you have the feeling,
16:04yes?
16:05And when we come here
16:06in Gaender
16:06we have the really
16:07warm feeling
16:08and friendly feeling

16:11you know,
16:12so we think
16:13it is the right
16:14place for us.
16:15Yes.
16:16And then we get
16:16the shop
16:17and now we get
16:18the house.
16:21Thomas,

17:08these different
17:09cultures.

17:18So,
17:18we feel here
17:19like,
17:19you know,
17:20here is already
17:21a variety
17:21of cultures.
17:23The people

17:25they're so
17:25friendly
17:26and welcome
17:28us.
17:28So,

17:30Genda.
17:31We bring
17:32something here.
17:33We try to
17:33bring our
17:34traditional food.
17:36We receive
17:37great encouragement
17:38from people
17:39here.
17:39It's a two-way
17:40street,
17:40is it?
17:41Yes,

17:46more a lot
17:46from the
17:47Genda people.
17:48So,
17:49that made
17:50us feel
17:51special here.
17:52Sometimes,
17:53like,
17:54we never
17:55have life
17:55full of
17:56mystery.
17:56Look like
17:57a jackfruit
17:58here.
17:58Sometimes,
17:58we sow
17:59the seed,
17:59we never
18:00know what
18:01the tree
18:01come up.
18:02In the
18:02next three
18:03to five
18:03years,
18:04hundreds
18:05of fruit
18:05come from
18:06the tree.
18:07It's like,
18:08in life,
18:09we sow
18:09one seed,
18:11in the next
18:11three years,
18:12we receive
18:12tenfold
18:13back what
18:14we sow.
18:15What beautiful
18:16wisdom from

18:18has grown
18:19a life here
18:20in Genda.
18:20Look hard.
18:21I've loved
18:22hanging out
18:22with Thomas
18:23and his
18:23family and
18:24thinking about
18:25that two-way
18:26street in
18:27Genda.
18:27People bringing
18:29in new culture
18:30and the town
18:31seeming to give
18:32just as much
18:33back.
18:35And there's
18:36no greater
18:36display of that
18:38than a bit
18:39of this.
18:43Held every
18:44two years,
18:45the Genda
18:46Orange Festival
18:47is a celebration
18:48of all things
18:49citrus.
18:50And it's
18:51a lot of fun.
19:05I find these
19:07small-town festivals
19:08really touching.
19:10There's so much
19:11pride in what
19:12they do.
19:12They put their
19:13heart into
19:14everything.
19:16And in the
19:17brilliant procession
19:18through town,
19:19Moa and
19:20Missa and
19:21their Tongan
19:21friends have
19:22got right in
19:23there,
19:24taking out
19:24most creative
19:25prize for
19:26their rather
19:27excellent float
19:28they designed
19:29themselves.
19:30Hey,
19:31Missa!
19:33They won
19:34the award.
19:36They did it.
19:37That's so cool.
19:38How good to see
19:39them all.
19:42This whole time
19:43we've been here
19:44in Genda,
19:44we've built up
19:45our relationship
19:46with the locals,
19:46with the people,
19:47and they're just
19:48so happy to see
19:49us,
19:49showcase our
19:50flags,
19:51showing how
19:52proud we are
19:53to be at Tongan.

20:32Doing
20:33it,
20:33though,
20:34is another
20:34thing
20:35entirely.
20:40Some of
20:41the competitors
20:41even come
20:42with their
20:43own cheer
20:43squad.
20:45Oh,

20:48I love him.
20:50Olin's family.
20:52They're very
20:53proud.
20:58And
20:59wherever I go,
21:00I'm still
21:00meeting people
21:01attracted to
21:02Gainda from
21:03all over the
21:04world,
21:05including those
21:06banking up
21:06their 88 days
21:07regional work
21:08to extend
21:09their tourist
21:10visas.
21:10We have
21:12similar ones
21:12in Estonia,
21:13but not
21:14orange.
21:14We don't
21:15grow oranges
21:15in Estonia.
21:17It's too
21:18cold there.
21:19We just

21:21post on
21:22Facebook,
21:23so I

21:27the owners
21:28of the
21:29citrus,
21:29and here
21:31we are.
21:31I bought
21:32a car,
21:32and we
21:32live in
21:33a car,
21:33and we
21:34love it.

21:38like,
21:40safe.
21:40Feel

21:42everybody's,
21:42like,
21:43not even
21:44locking their
21:44cars,
21:44and feeling
21:45safe is,
21:46like,
21:46the most
21:46important
21:47thing,
21:47especially
21:48if you
21:48live in
21:48a car.
21:51And what
21:51have you

21:55Who's

22:09line.
22:11Underarm,

22:15If you've

22:17we'd love
22:18to see it.
22:19Here we
22:19go.
22:19A bit of
22:20audience

22:37Stevie.
22:38Good job.
22:42And he's
22:43fouled out
22:43on the
22:44frame.
22:46OK,
22:46so when I
22:47agreed to
22:48enter this,
22:49I didn't
22:49know it
22:50was a
22:50world
22:51orange
22:52throwing
22:52comp.
22:55But when
22:55in
22:56game
22:56der...
22:57I was
22:58hoping for
22:59a veterans
22:59category,
23:00but...
23:00Oh,
23:01there you go.
23:02Get behind it,
23:03give her a lot
23:03of support.
23:06Come on,
23:07ladies,
23:07you can do it.
23:15at least have you
23:17been involved.
23:17I'll slip off the
23:18tip of the fingers
23:19and go on.
23:20This entire
23:21festival is so full
23:22of heart,
23:23so utterly charming
23:25and just
23:26wonderful,
23:27simple fun.
23:33But then,
23:34as the festival
23:35draws to a
23:36close,
23:36the crowds
23:37move over
23:38to the
23:38football ground
23:39and the
23:40atmosphere
23:41changes.
23:42Mundubra Tigers
23:44are in the
23:45house,
23:45kicking off a
23:46match versus
23:47the Gander
23:48Gladiators.
23:50This is the
23:51battle for the
23:52Citrus Cup.
23:53This is the
23:55State of
23:56Oranges.
23:57Gander,
23:58Gander,
23:58who are we?
24:00Gladiators,
24:01victory!
24:02Gander,
24:03Gander,
24:03hear our cry,
24:05Gladiators,
24:06do we die?
24:074-6-2-5!
24:094-6-2-5!
24:10Again,
24:104-6-2-5!
24:124-6-2-5!
24:13Go,
24:15Gladiators!
24:19This is a
24:20major event
24:21for Gander.
24:22The Mundubra Tigers
24:23look like they
24:24mean business.
24:26As do the
24:27fans.
24:28Including my
24:29mate,
24:29Missa,
24:29and his
24:30wife,
24:30Talita.
24:33But it's
24:33not the
24:34best start.
24:36And coming
24:37to the end
24:37of the first
24:38half,
24:38they've got
24:39a lot of
24:39work to do.
24:40They all
24:41wipe us.
24:42We do not
24:43go to sleep.
24:43We go back
24:44out.
24:44You know,
24:45it's not
24:45going to
24:45stir on the
24:46clock.
24:46We've got the
24:48ball,
24:49we roll it up
24:49again,
24:49we'll go
24:50again.
24:50Let's go.
24:52Let's go.
24:53Let's go.
24:54One,
24:54two,
24:55three,
24:55pass!
24:56Let's go.
24:57We're up.
24:58Same intensity,
24:59same endos.
25:04Oh,
25:05look,
25:05it's the
25:05passion,
25:06but it's
25:07that absolute
25:08want to beat
25:09Mandubra at
25:10this game.
25:12This is the
25:13game for them
25:14of the year,
25:15and to just
25:16bring it home,
25:17particularly on a
25:17home ground,
25:18in front of
25:19their own
25:20crowd,
25:20is going to
25:21be their
25:22number one
25:22goal.
25:23This footy
25:24club is a
25:25reflection of
25:26Gainda's whole
25:27attitude,
25:28one of
25:29acceptance,
25:30of support,
25:31of encouragement.
25:33I think we're
25:34very,
25:34very lucky to
25:35have those
25:36people coming
25:37in that we
25:37can learn from.
25:38Isn't that what
25:39life's about,
25:39learning something
25:40new?
25:41And it's that
25:42acceptance and
25:44willingness to
25:44grow that's
25:46giving Gainda
25:46its strength.
25:50It's like in
25:51life,
25:52we sell one
25:53seed,
25:54in the next
25:54three years,
25:55we receive
25:56tenfold back
25:57what we sold.
26:16And today,
26:17after a lot
26:18of hard
26:18hits,
26:19a lot of
26:20hard work,
26:21it's all
26:22paying off.
26:24with Gainda
26:25refusing to
26:26be beaten
26:27at home,
26:28not at
26:29its own
26:29orange
26:30festival.
26:33And the
26:34final score
26:34is Gainda
26:3534,
26:37and
26:37number 20,
26:38that's the
26:38score.
26:40The
26:40Sixers
26:40Cup comes
26:41back to
26:41Gainda.
26:44The season's
26:45come and
26:45go in
26:46Gainda,
26:46and so
26:47do many
26:47of the
26:47faces.
26:48But whether
26:49people decide
26:50to stay or
26:51they're simply
26:51passing through,
26:52it seems to
26:53me they
26:54enrich the
26:55lives in
26:55this little
26:56town they've
26:57called home.
26:58And right
26:59now,
26:59that's working
27:00for Gainda.
27:05Gainda,
27:05Gainda,
27:06hear our cry,
27:08gladiators
27:08till we die,

27:21Yeah!
27:31Next time
27:32on Backroads,
27:33I'm hitching
27:34a ride with
27:34the Sydney
27:35Youth Orchestras,
27:36who are meeting
27:37up with an
27:38Outback Kids
27:39Choir.
27:39You did that
27:39yourself?
27:40Yeah.
27:40That's insane.
27:41Have you
27:42seen an
27:42orchestra before?
27:43Not in real
27:44life.
27:44For the
27:45kids from
27:46the bush,
27:46it'll be a
27:47rare chance
27:47not just
27:48to see
27:48an orchestra,
27:49but to
27:50perform with
27:51one.
27:51Here we
27:51go.
27:52And for
27:52those from
27:53the city,
27:54it'll be an
27:54unforgettable
27:55taste of
27:56life in
27:57the Outback.
