Transcript
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 Rangar in a
00:14little under three weeks time do you like what we've neglected to do with the
00:19place fantastic isn't this beautiful very nice so yes I think it's been well
00:26established that it was me that that thought we could could have a wedding a
00:32few weeks before the pub is even officially open we're gonna get rid of
00:35those witches hats yeah and we'll get rid of this electrical tape that would be
00:40really nice and maybe we'll get rid of the little excavator kids could play on
00:45the excavator kids could plan 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
01:08remove 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
01:18Shane that how many people are we expecting about 90 ish yeah yeah beautiful
01:24yeah just never tell him that and what happens if it's pouring down rain up here
01:32yeah well that that's when we'd move to inside yeah we'd do it inside the
01:37yeah please don't rain oh god please don't rain
02:04going for good vibes going for good vibes good weather vibes the fact that they're prepared to risk
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've been farming on tractors trades whatever all would drop in here and it's their
02:42time to unwind and get together and complain about the government does it bother them that
02:48the diner resembles a construction site no do they care that the kitchen is gone and
02:55they're being fed from a film and television catering truck
03:03not in the slightest
03:07but the wrangir's reach extends far beyond its walls
03:12dave's support to just about every club in the district is legendary he used to give us a jug a
03:19goal for what we won and
03:21tuesday nights we'd get in here and win by 40 goals we'd drink 40 jugs
03:27won a premiership
03:30it doesn't matter what it is he'll support
03:33he's a magnificent man not going to fill his shoes
03:37i don't think you could do that but you could try
03:40yeah definitely try
03:45while there's very little chance of me being able to fill dave's shoes i'm gonna do my best
03:52i've come to the local sporting ground to pay a visit to the footy and netball club that the
03:56wrangir proudly supports just to see how they're faring
04:02so i've got to ask how would you describe your season so far
04:06yeah tough one but it's been fun so where are you on the ladder at the moment are you dead
04:10last
04:10last yeah can't get any lower thing that that we all know is to be at the bottom of the
04:14ladder
04:14you've got to be the strongest team because you've got to hold all the other teams up
04:19you got told we're playing a team that might be just fractionally better than us only marginally
04:23not large yeah where are they on the ladder yeah top oh yeah but what have they done lately oh
04:27that's right they've been winning the whole time sorry i forgot are you saying right now if we win
04:31a game you'll put a keg on for us if you win a game i'm gonna drink a keg
04:41okay sounds like there's a bit of work to do let's check in over on the courts so i've got
04:47to
04:47get this right so you've worked at the pub 16 years for 16 years and you worked at the pub
04:52yep seven
04:53years seven years so we've just been down watching the boys train and we know they're not having a
04:57great year but but you guys are going pretty well yeah yeah we're having a good year so be great
05:03at the moment sitting third on the ladder which is really exciting push pippy pocket pocket
05:08so here's the thing i can't get like dead ring has an incredibly small population so where
05:13where does everyone come from like like how far you're you're hiding in some bunker somewhere and
05:19everyone just comes shooting out of the ground
05:21we're about just under an hour so you drive an hour to get here yeah but what is the thing
05:26about
05:27the club that the culture is so strong the ranger yeah the pub is it the pub yeah because someone
05:35told me that i didn't believe them i thought that would be nice i remember one game here i think
05:38we
05:39lost by maybe 70 yeah 60 70 yeah yeah but i couldn't think of a better group of girls i
05:46guess to lose
05:49there's something special about country footy and netball so i'm really looking forward to coming
05:54back this weekend and seeing how they go i've got a good feeling they might just surprise everyone
06:00especially as i promise them a keg of beer if they win surely that'll inspire greatness on the flip side
06:06i did bet dean i'd pay two times the margin if we lose can't win them all
06:19the sun is shining across the kiwa valley and the work at the ranger seems to be progressing well
06:25is there a schedule
06:30though there is one aspect that everyone on site would like to see go a little quicker
06:35it's going okay but we've still got a lot of things to do but we need to try to get
06:41the
06:41the toilets up and running and that sort of thing it was funny when we started doing all the work
06:47on
06:47the toilets because people kept saying oh you're going to get portaloos and laughing we shut down
06:51the toilets and we're brought in the portaloos and that's all we had for about four months people
06:57stopped laughing pretty quickly about the portal
07:03i'm looking forward to the day when we've got working toilets again well i must be getting close
07:10to needing a pump out again which is always fun unfortunately 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 you getting on over there you all right in there kenny
07:33how you getting on there kenny something 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
07:43so i'm hitting the road to head to mitre 10 and do it face to face
07:49the thing i've learned about being up here is people do truly appreciate when you try and
07:55make sure you're using local trades the amount of times we've already had chats about you know
07:59who can do a bit of welding oh no you know so-and-so at the bar does welding or
08:04already just people just saying oh you know who does a great job of painting or you know who's an
08:07amazing builder there's just all the trades we need within like a stone's throat from the pub and
08:13while there's no shortage of trades people there's no shortage of mitre 10s either we've got three
08:18about equal distance from the pub today i've come to wodonga it's another massive store and should have
08:24everything we need aj you found us all right it is good to see i found you yeah i reckon
08:29you're big
08:29enough to find okay how are you mate you good good yeah good what are you up to today doors
08:34i've been
08:35sent here to find doors you've got heaps you're leaning on them right now is that what these are
08:42oh have you got have you got dog food and chicken feed heaps of dog food and chicken feed what
08:48do you
08:48got dogs and chickens at the pub uh no uh but yesterday i forgot to pick up dog food and
08:56chicken
08:56feed so i'm gonna get some from you put it in the back of my car and then when i
09:00arrive home tonight
09:01you look like a gun i look like i didn't forget it last night nice heaps of dog feet all
09:06these
09:06pellets from here forward are your different varieties i didn't know you did feed is this a
09:11new thing or uh we well we started our business as a rural supplies store oh did you and morphed
09:17into
09:17hardware over the years oh you went the other way i don't know why i assumed this was the new
09:21thing
09:21this is the old thing yeah absolutely yeah farm supplies yeah this store really is big also i've got a
09:27list of stuff in my phone that the builders have given me sure we can handle that a heap of
09:33nails
09:33screws and silicon oh yes roof and gutter yes again it's all on this list you send that to me
09:46and we'll put it together and there's it'll be quick it'll be quicker for everyone oh hang on is
09:50this dog food as well is that dog food well if you never want to feed your dog again
09:54it looks like dog food that would bind your dog up really well it would and then you'd really be
10:00able to give the old expression shit a brick and honest government green does that mean it's slightly
10:08undecided or it's hard to work with uh why is it called government green means it achieves nothing
10:16you're doing better gags than i am am i better off to give you this list i'm going to be
10:20here for
10:20hours yeah give the list to us do it that's our specialty okay we'll put it together before you
10:24leave done am i let a look at some other bits yeah you know i just can't help but feel
10:29i've missed
10:29something don't have a chainsaw sponsor yet don't have a chainsaw sponsor yet don't have one yet very
10:39important part of any bathroom renovation is the uh chainsaw do you know why we need one of these at
10:45the
10:45pub yeah well you'd have an open fire at the pub surely there you go well there is a saying
10:49that
10:49you can never have too many chainsaws you can never have too many chainsaws you just need a bb in
10:55your hand i don't reckon you should have a shot of a man holding a beard with a chainsaw legally
10:59it's probably not good man i'm so gonna get a deal with still
11:07it's the weekend and time to catch up on the mighty jetta rank bombers and i'm feeling hopeful
11:13it's hard to imagine there would be a better few from a football field anywhere in australia
11:20snow caps on top of the mountain it's beautiful here we go
11:36what's that been five seconds they've already kicked a goal
11:42just to be clear on who's who our team are in the red and black so yeah that's not us
11:49this certainly is a david and goliath battle there's a bit of a theme going on here isn't
11:54there but we've got to believe that even though we're at the bottom of the ladder that we can
11:58shock the league today with a win
12:03you know miracles can and do often happen in sport i could always do the streak the only problem is
12:11if i
12:12ripped my gear off and did a streak it would probably look like a skin colored transit van driving across
12:18the oval that could be distracting though couldn't it there you go half time i mean they're a bit
12:30behind but you know they might be able to come back from here look around at us look at each
12:37and
12:37every one of you boys we all want to be here right let's get some life back in this get
12:41some zap back
12:41this is a group and we fire up despite the scoreboard our boys never give up
12:53everyone sticks around watches cheers each other on it's a great club everyone gets around each other
13:00and supports each other and while the bomber's cunning strategy of letting the opposition wear
13:05themselves out by kicking goal after goal doesn't appear to be paying off the bomber's level of
13:10enthusiasm remains unrelenting dad used to always say it's not over till it's over
13:28maybe it is sometimes over before it's over i think this might be a good time to head to the
13:34courts
13:35next door things 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 now how do i put this well since half time both
13:56teams have
13:57managed to more than double their scores the opposition kiwa amassed 253 points
14:03and deaderang well you guessed it naught times two is unfortunately still naught so yeah there's a bit of room
14:11for improvement you would think it would be heads down and long faces but not here something unexpected
14:18happens they're smiling and there are pats on the back and today they're still proud
14:26not much negativity going around despite what the scoreboard says everyone feels like they've won at the
14:31end of the pain you know winning is not everything and thank god
14:38thank god we know that here in deaderang it's inversely proportional the more you don't win the more you
14:44smile and i think i think it's a gift i think it's a superpower the quote today uh came from
14:52tyrone on the
14:53sidelines at one point who i heard yelling the scoreboard may have given up but we never give up
15:04but we we don't want it all to be uh to be bad news it's not the end of anything
15:08we want to in
15:09fact to uh from this moment on uh talk about the start of something so the first thing we're here
15:13to
15:13tell you is we will be continuing the diderang pub sponsorship of the club here both for the football
15:18and netball club absolutely
15:26but for those that don't know not only have we bought the pub but we're renovating the pub and
15:31mitra 10 have been helping us out and we told one of the managers during the week what you guys
15:35are up
15:35to and how hard you try every single week and they said well in that case we want to sponsor
15:40the team
15:41as well final little addition to all this one of our investors is right here dave pitman put your
15:50hand up dave he 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 i'm going to come on as
15:58a sponsor as well so
15:59thank you so to kiwa i say kiwa you may have got the win on the board but we are
16:09cashed up
16:13we'll see you next year
16:18in this town sport isn't just about winning it's about belonging about pulling on the colors for
16:27your mates about standing shoulder to shoulder when it would have been easier to walk away
16:34because long after the scoreboard has switched off what lasts is the community
16:49it was a late night last night so i thought i'd make use of the ranger 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 you obviously know you've got to serve beer and you've got to serve food and it's
17:08customer service and all that kind of stuff but i'll be honest it's all it's all these little bits
17:14that i just i don't know i just hadn't factored in i knew there was cabins and i thought that
17:18just
17:19all sounded really good from a business point of view but nowhere in my tiny little mind
17:24did i go each time they leave you gotta change all the sheets
17:31now i know the other thing is you find stuff in weird spots i've already spent 20 minutes this
17:41morning trying to find a tv remote but there's an old adage that a a good boss
17:48shouldn't expect staff to do anything they're not willing to do themselves
17:55you're kidding
17:57tv remote
18:08should that should that concern me there's a pair of boots beside the bin
18:14nah they're clear
18:20why's there a pair of boots in front of the bin
18:25back on site my order from mitre 10 has turned up and soon the guys will be hearing the splish
18:31splash of real flushing toilets once again and if by chance anyone's had too much curry the boys
18:39from vlux are up on the roof installing the special skylights that can open up to vent the area oh
18:45man
18:45this is so much brighter yeah that's fantastic can we go up and play we can go up and play
18:55so uh so how does the blind work ah yeah remote control so this is it here feel the power
19:00you
19:01want to have a go look at that oh so when it gets too hot we just press the button
19:08and they open
19:09let all the hot air that's exactly right it vents the whole room space how does the rain sensor work
19:14how does it know it's being rained on so there's a little pad external of the skylight and the rain
19:18physically just falls from the sky hits the sensor it's an acoustic sensor and sends a signal to
19:23the skylight it's an acoustic sensor it's an acoustic sensor so it's not even sensing wetness it's
19:28sensing the noise of rain hitting it yeah as soon as it senses water or it feels water it goes
19:32bang and
19:33it closes three times as fast as it opens so it really is quite immediate oh it's like an alligator's
19:38mouth snap and proving miracles can happen the crew from regency have worked double time to get the
19:48ginormous 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 realized we'd forgotten something unbelievable what's that air conditioning
20:17what air conditioning so yes when we put in the enormous regency glass doors uh what we didn't
20:26know is we'd created a furnace in the pavilion area and the builders said so when's the air
20:32conditioning arriving and we both went what air conditioning luckily a quick call to a mate
20:38andy at oz cool and a huge mitsubishi air conditioning unit was on route to be installed next week
20:44phew that was close it was such a relief you'll never guess what happened next hey he he almost
20:52smiled hey did you get that on film but the smile didn't last long because the area outside where the
20:59ceremony was to take place was according to dean i believe the reference he used was it looks like
21:05gallipoli during the war not at the start or the end of it when was that wedding again
21:15it's in two weeks thing looking good plenty of time this'll all this'll all buff out
21:26i hope
