Short filmTranscript
00:04Spring has sprung in the Kiwa Valley and lovers in the air at least it is for
00:10local lovebirds Tyrone and Bianca whose wedding will be held at the Ranga in a
00:14little under three weeks time. Do you like what we've neglected to do with the
00:19place? It's fantastic. Isn't this beautiful? Very nice. So yes I think it's been well
00:26established that it was me that thought we could could have a wedding a few
00:32weeks before the pub is even officially open. We're gonna get rid of those
00:35witches hats. Yeah. And we'll get rid of this electrical tape. That would be really
00:41nice. And maybe we'll get rid of the little excavator. Kids could play on the
00:45excavator. Kids could play on the excavator or we might leave the
00:47excavator. We'll leave the keys in it. We'll leave the keys in it. That might take
00:51long to to clean that up. Yeah we'll get rid of this bit of tin here. We'll move
00:58this out of the way. Other than that we think it looks pretty good. As it was my
01:03foolish idea they've assigned me the very important role of wedding planner. Would
01:08we move the trailer for the night? We're gonna, I was just gonna put a tarp over it.
01:14Secretly I always loved the idea of the wedding. I was just never going to tell
01:18him that. How many people are we expecting? About 90-ish. Yeah? Yeah. Beautiful. Yeah.
01:25Just never tell him that. And what happens if it's pouring down rain up here? Yeah
01:32well that that's when we'd move to inside. Yeah. We'd do it inside the
01:37top of Ian. Yeah. Please don't rain. Oh God please don't rain.
02:05Going for good vibes. Going for good weather vibes. Bloody hell. Good weather vibes. The fact that they're prepared to
02:10risk
02:10having to wear gum boots and hard hats on this special day is testament to how
02:14important the wrangir is to the both of them.
02:19They're not alone. This place is the backbone of the community.
02:24It's not just a pub. It's a vocal point in this area. This is all we've got. We don't
02:31have anywhere else that we can go to. And it is such a meeting place every night for
02:37people who have been farming on tractors, trades, whatever, all would drop in here.
02:41And it's their time to unwind and get together and complain about the government.
02:46Does it bother them that the diner resembles a construction site?
02:53No. Do they care that the kitchen is gone and that they're being fed from a film and television catering
02:58truck?
03:03Not in the slightest.
03:08But the wrangir's reach extends far beyond its walls.
03:12Dave's support to just about every club in the district is legendary.
03:16He used to give us a jug, a goal for what we won. And Tuesday nights we'd get in here
03:23and win by 40 goals. We'd drink 40 jugs. What a premiership.
03:31It doesn't matter what it is. He'll support. He's a magnificent man. Not going to fill these years.
03:37I don't think you could do that. But you could try. Yeah. Definitely try.
03:45While there's very little chance of me being able to fill Dave's shoes, I'm going to do my best.
03:52I've come to the local sporting ground to pay a visit to the footy and netball club that the wrangir
03:56proudly supports, just to see how they're faring.
04:02So, I've got to ask, how would you describe your season so far?
04:06Tough one, but it's been fun.
04:08So, where are you on the ladder at the moment? Are you dead last?
04:10Dead last. Yeah, can't get any lower.
04:12The thing that we all know is, to be at the bottom of the ladder, you've got to be the
04:15strongest team, because you've got to hold all the other teams up.
04:19Have you got told we're playing a team that might be just fractionally better than us?
04:22Only marginally. Not large, yeah.
04:24Where are they on the ladder?
04:24Yeah, top.
04:26Oh, yeah, but what have they done lately? Oh, that's right, they've been winning the whole time. Sorry, I forgot.
04:29Are you saying right now, if we win a game, you'll put a keg on for us?
04:33Just check.
04:35If you win a game, I'm going to drink a keg.
04:38Here, good boy. Down, Coles.
04:41Okay, sounds like there's a bit of work to do.
04:44Let's check in over on the courts.
04:47So, I've got to get this right. So, you've worked at the pub.
04:4916 years.
04:50For 16 years. And you worked at the pub.
04:53Yep, seven years.
04:53Seven years.
04:54So, we've just been down watching the boys train, and we know they're not having a great year.
04:59But you guys are going pretty well, yeah?
05:01Yeah. Yeah.
05:01We're having a good year, so being great at the moment is sitting third on the ladder,
05:04which is really exciting.
05:05Good girls.
05:06Push, Bippy, pocket, pocket!
05:08So, here's the thing I can't get. Like, Datorang has an incredibly small population,
05:13so where does everyone come from?
05:15Like, how far, are you all hiding in some bunker somewhere and everyone just comes shooting
05:20out of the ground?
05:21We're about just under an hour to get here.
05:23So, you drive an hour to get here?
05:25Yeah.
05:25But what is the thing about the club, that the culture is so strong?
05:29The ranger?
05:30Yeah.
05:31The pub.
05:32Is it the pub?
05:33Yeah.
05:34Because someone told me that, and I didn't believe them.
05:36I thought they were being nice.
05:37I remember one game here, I think we lost by maybe 70 goals?
05:41Yeah, 60, 70, yeah.
05:42Yeah.
05:43But it would have been...
05:44Everyone was so happy.
05:44I couldn't think of a better group of girls, I guess, to lose with.
05:47To lose with.
05:49There's something special about country footy and netball, so I'm really looking forward
05:54to coming back this weekend and seeing how they go.
05:57I've got a good feeling they might just surprise everyone, especially as I promise them a keg
06:02of beer if they win.
06:03Surely that'll inspire greatness?
06:05On the flip side, I did bet Dean I'd pay two times the margin if we lose.
06:10Can't win them all.
06:19The sun is shining across the Kiwa Valley and the work at the ranger seems to be progressing
06:24well.
06:25Is there a schedule?
06:28There's a schedule.
06:30Though there is one aspect that everyone on site would like to see go a little quicker.
06:35We're going okay, but we've still got a lot of things to do, but we need to try to get
06:41the toilets up and running and that sort of thing.
06:44It was funny when we started doing all the work on the toilets because people kept saying,
06:49oh, you're going to get port-a-loos and laughing.
06:50We shut down the toilets and were brought into port-a-loos and that's all we had for
06:55about four months.
06:56People stopped laughing pretty quickly about the port-a-loos.
07:03I'm looking forward to the day when we've got working toilets again.
07:07Well, I must be getting close to needing a pump out again, which is always fun.
07:14Unfortunately, that's not our job.
07:19You can tell there's a bit of frustration with how long it's taking.
07:25Hey Kenny, how are you getting on over there?
07:29You all right in there, Kenny?
07:31Yeah, they're all in there.
07:33How are you getting on there, Kenny?
07:34Something tells me they're never going to let this gag go.
07:39I've been given a long list of bits and bobs to get for our builders, so I'm hitting the
07:44road to head to Mitre 10 and do it face-to-face.
07:49The thing I've learnt about being up here is people do truly appreciate when you try and
07:55make sure you're using local trades.
07:56The amount of times we've already had chats about, you know, who can do a bit of welding.
08:00Oh, no, you know, so-and-so at the bar does welding or already just people just saying,
08:05oh, you know, who does a great job of painting or, you know, who's an amazing builder.
08:08There's just all the trades we need within like a stone's throw from the pub.
08:12And while there's no shortage of tradespeople, there's no shortage of Mitre 10s either.
08:17We've got three about equal distance from the pub.
08:21Today, I've come to Wodonga.
08:22It's another massive store and should have everything we need.
08:26AJ.
08:26You found us all right?
08:27It is AJ.
08:28Good to see you.
08:28I found you.
08:29Yeah, I reckon you're big enough to find.
08:31How are you, mate? You good?
08:32Good.
08:32Yeah.
08:32Good.
08:33What are you up to today?
08:34Doors.
08:35I've been sent here to find doors.
08:37You've got heaps.
08:38You're leaning on them right now.
08:40Am I?
08:41Is that what these are?
08:42Oh, have you got dog food and chicken feed?
08:46Heaps of dog food and chicken feed.
08:48What, have you got dogs and chickens at the pub?
08:51No.
08:51No, but yesterday I forgot to pick up dog food and chicken feed.
08:57So I'm going to get some from you, put it in the back of my car and then when I
09:00arrive
09:00home tonight.
09:01You look like a gun.
09:02I look like I didn't forget it last night.
09:04Yeah.
09:05Heaps of dog feed.
09:05All these pellets from here forward are your different varieties.
09:09I didn't even know you did feed.
09:11Is this a new thing or?
09:13We started our business as a real supplies store.
09:16Oh, did you?
09:17And morphed into hardware over the years.
09:18Oh, you went the other way.
09:19I don't know why I assumed this was the new thing.
09:21This is the old thing.
09:22Yeah, absolutely.
09:23Yeah, farm supplies, yeah.
09:25This store really is big.
09:26Also, I've got a list of stuff in my phone that the builders have given me.
09:31Sure, we can handle that.
09:32A heap of nails, screws and silicon.
09:38Oh, yes.
09:41Roof and gutter.
09:42Yes.
09:43Again, it's all on this list.
09:44Perfect.
09:45You send that to me and we'll put it together.
09:47It'll be quicker for everyone.
09:49Oh, hang on.
09:50Is this dog food as well?
09:51Is that dog food?
09:52Well, if you never want to feed your dog again.
09:55It looks like dog food.
09:57That would bind your dog up really well.
09:58It would.
09:59And then you'd really be able to give the old expression, shit a brick.
10:02An honest go.
10:05Government green.
10:07Does that mean it's slightly undecided or it's hard to work with?
10:11No.
10:11Why is it called government green?
10:12Means it achieves nothing.
10:16You're doing better gays than I am.
10:18Am I better off to give you this list?
10:19I'm going to be here for hours.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Give the list to us.
10:22That's our specialty.
10:23Okay.
10:23We'll put it together for you, Luke.
10:25Done.
10:25Am I allowed to look at some other bits?
10:26Yeah.
10:27You know, I just can't help but feel I've missed something.
10:33Don't have a chainsaw sponsor yet.
10:36Don't have a chainsaw sponsor yet.
10:37Don't have one yet.
10:38Very important part of any bathroom renovation is the chainsaw.
10:43Do you know why we need one of these at the pub?
10:46Well, you could have an open fire at the pub, surely.
10:48There you go.
10:48Well, there is a saying that you can never have too many chainsaws.
10:51You can never have too many chainsaws.
10:54You just need a BB in your hand.
10:56I don't reckon you should have a shot of a man holding a beard with a chainsaw.
10:59Legally, it's probably not good.
11:01Man, I'm so going to hear the deal is still.
11:07It's the weekend and time to catch up on the mighty Jeterang bombers.
11:12And I'm feeling hopeful.
11:14It's hard to imagine there would be a better few from a football field anywhere in Australia.
11:21Snowcatch on top of the mountain.
11:22It's beautiful.
11:23Here we go.
11:29Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
11:36What's that been?
11:37Five seconds?
11:38They've already kicked a goal.
11:42Just to be clear on who's who, our team are in the red and black.
11:46So, yeah, that's not us.
11:49This certainly is a David and Goliath battle.
11:52There's a bit of a theme going on here, isn't there?
11:54But we've got to believe that even though we're at the bottom of the ladder, that we can shock the
11:58league today with a win.
11:59Here we go.
12:02No, no.
12:04You know, miracles can and do often happen in sport.
12:08I could always do the streak.
12:11The only problem is if I ripped my gear off and did a streak, it would probably look like a
12:16skin-coloured transit van driving across the oval.
12:19That could be distracting though, couldn't it?
12:27There you go.
12:27Half-time.
12:29I mean, they're a bit behind but, you know, they might be able to come back from here.
12:36Look around at us.
12:37Look at each and every one of you boys.
12:38We all want to be here, right?
12:39Let's get some life back in us.
12:40Let's get some zap back in us as a group and we fire up this boy.
12:43Let's go.
12:47Despite the scoreboard, our boys never give up.
12:53Everyone sticks around, watches, cheers each other on.
12:57It's a great club.
12:58Everyone gets around each other and supports each other.
13:01And while the Bombers' cunning strategy of letting the opposition wear themselves out by kicking goal after goal doesn't appear
13:08to be paying off,
13:09the Bombers' level of enthusiasm remains unrelenting.
13:21Dad used to always say, it's not over till it's over.
13:28Maybe it is sometimes over before it's over.
13:32I think this might be a good time to head to the courts next door.
13:38Things have gone a little better here and it looks like the girls will make the finals.
13:48Oh, that's the final siren back at the Oval.
13:52Now, how do I put this?
13:54Well, since half-time, both teams have managed to more than double their scores.
13:59The opposition, Kiwa, amassed 253 points.
14:03And Deterang?
14:04Well, you guessed it.
14:06Nought times two is unfortunately still nought.
14:10So yeah, there's a bit of room for improvement.
14:12You would think it would be heads down and long faces.
14:16But not here.
14:17Something unexpected happens.
14:19They're smiling.
14:20And there are pats on the back.
14:23And today, they're still proud.
14:27Not much negativity going around, despite what the scoreboard says.
14:30Everyone feels like they've won at the end of the game.
14:34You know, winning's not everything.
14:35And thank God...
14:38Thank God we know that here in Deterang.
14:40It's inversely proportional.
14:42The more you don't win, the more you smile.
14:44And I think...
14:47I think it's a gift.
14:48I think it's a superpower.
14:50The quote today came from Tyrone on the sidelines at one point who I heard yelling,
14:55The scoreboard may have given up, but we never give up.
15:00Oh, mate.
15:05But we don't want it all to be bad news.
15:07It's not the end of anything.
15:08We want to, in fact, to, from this moment on, talk about the start of something.
15:12So the first thing we're here to tell you is we will be continuing the Deterang Pub sponsorship of the
15:16club here,
15:17both for the Football and Netball Club.
15:22Absolutely.
15:26But...
15:27For those that don't know, not only have we bought the pub, but we're renovating the pub
15:30and Mitre 10 have been helping us out.
15:32And we told one of the managers during the week what you guys are up to
15:35and how hard you try every single week.
15:38And they said, well, in that case, we want to sponsor the team as well.
15:46Final little addition to all this,
15:47one of our investors is right here, Dave Pitman.
15:50Put your hand up, Dave.
15:51He saw the way you all came off after today's game with a smile on your dial.
15:55And he said to me at the end of the game, you know what?
15:57I'm going to come on as a sponsor as well.
15:59So thank you to Pitman.
16:03So to Kiwa, I say,
16:06Kiwa, you may have got the win on the board,
16:08but we are cashed up!
16:13We'll see you next year.
16:18In this town, sport isn't just about winning.
16:22It's about belonging.
16:24About pulling on the colours for your mates.
16:28About standing shoulder to shoulder when it would have been easier to walk away.
16:34Because long after the scoreboard has switched off,
16:37what lasts is the community.
16:49It was a late night last night, so I thought I'd make use of the Ranga cabins.
16:54And this morning, it's up to me to make sure that it's ready for the next guest.
16:59It has been a lot more work than I thought.
17:04Do it that way?
17:06You obviously know you've got to serve beer and you've got to serve food
17:08and it's customer service and all that kind of stuff.
17:10But I'll be honest, it's all, it's all these little bits that I just,
17:15I don't know, I just hadn't factored in.
17:17I knew there was cabins and I thought that just all sounded really good from a business point of view.
17:21But nowhere in my tiny little mind did I go,
17:25each time they leave, you've got to change all the sheets.
17:31Now I know.
17:33The other thing is, you find stuff in weird spots.
17:38I've already spent 20 minutes this morning trying to find a TV remote.
17:45But there's an old adage that a good boss shouldn't expect staff to do anything they're not willing to do
17:51themselves.
17:55You're kidding.
17:57TV remote.
18:07Should that, should that concern me? There's a pair of boots,
18:11beside the bin.
18:14No, they're clear.
18:20Why's there a pair of boots in front of the bin?
18:26Back on site, my order from Mitre 10 has turned up.
18:29And soon the guys will be hearing the splish splash of real flushing toilets once again.
18:35And if by chance anyone's had too much curry,
18:38the boys from Vlux are up on the roof installing the special skylights that can open up to vent the
18:44area.
18:45Oh man, this is so much brighter.
18:46Yeah.
18:47That's fantastic. Can we go up and play?
18:49We can go up and play.
18:56So how does the blind work?
18:57Ah, yeah, remote control. So this is it here.
19:00Feel the power.
19:00You want to have a go?
19:01You know I do.
19:03Look at that.
19:06So when it gets too hot, we just press the button and they open, let all the hot air in.
19:09That's exactly right. It vents the whole room space.
19:12How does the rain sensor work? How does it know it's being rained on?
19:15So there's a little pad, external of the skylight, and the rain physically just falls from the sky,
19:20hits the sensor, it's an acoustic sensor, and it sends a signal to the skylight.
19:23It's an acoustic sensor.
19:24It's an acoustic sensor.
19:25So it's not even sensing wetness, it's sensing the noise of rain hitting it.
19:29Yeah.
19:30As soon as it senses water, or it feels water, it goes bang.
19:33And it closes three times as fast as it opens, so it really is quite immediate.
19:37Oh, it's like an alligator's mouth.
19:38Snap!
19:39Bang!
19:40Bang!
19:40Bang!
19:42And proving miracles can happen, the crew from Regency have worked double time
19:47to get the ginormous sliding doors fabricated and are here to install them.
20:05So the bevian has gone from being a shed to a space ready to host a wedding reception.
20:11Then we realised we'd forgotten something.
20:14Unbelievable.
20:15What's that?
20:16Air conditioning.
20:17Oh shit, air conditioning!
20:19So, yes, when we put in the enormous Regency glass doors, what we didn't know is we'd created
20:27a furnace in the pavilion area, and the builders said, so when's the air conditioning arriving?
20:33And we both went, what air conditioning?
20:36Luckily, a quick call to a mate Andy at AusCool and a huge Mitsubishi air conditioning unit was
20:42en route to be installed next week.
20:45Phew!
20:45That was close.
20:47It was such a relief, you'll never guess what happened next.
20:51He almost smiled.
20:53Hey!
20:54Did you get that on film?
20:55But the smile didn't last long because the area outside where the ceremony was to take
21:00place was according to Dean.
21:03I believe the reference he used was, it looks like Gallipoli during the war, not at the start
21:08or the end of it.
21:10When was that wedding again?
21:15It's in two weeks, Dean.
21:17Looking good.
21:20Plenty of time.
21:21This'll all buff out.
21:26I hope.
21:30We bought a pub.
21:31Do you reckon we could hold like a wedding in about eight weeks?
21:33Here?
21:34Yeah.
21:35How will they walk down the aisle when it's still a building site?
21:38She's not going to want to do that.
21:39Shay!
21:40She's in!
21:42New Oops I Bought A Pub next Saturday.
