Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad - Season 7 - Episode 06: Cairns Eng Sub
Transcript
00:00Bradley and Barney have reached the final chapter of their Aussie adventure.
00:04Wow!
00:05Their road trip started in Sydney,
00:08before travelling past the sun-soaked beaches of the Gold Coast,
00:11continuing north, where they're arriving at their final stop,
00:15Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
00:23Barry White!
00:24Yeah!
00:26I'm like a blind man who's walking
00:31I can't see nothing
00:34Do you have a problem with me?
00:38The trip's coming to an end, are you sad?
00:40I am. I've had a great time here.
00:41It's been great, isn't it?
00:42Yeah.
00:43But this area is beautiful.
00:45With the mountains and the tropical forests and stuff,
00:48this is known as Tropical North Queensland.
00:52Barney's spot on.
00:53This region is located in far north Queensland,
00:56the northernmost part of mainland Australia.
00:59The boys are on the final leg of their tour down under,
01:02heading to the city of Cairns.
01:04But before they arrive there,
01:06Barney's organised a stop-off en route in the rural town of Babinda.
01:09We're in crocodile country.
01:11Crocodile country.
01:14I've got a true or false game.
01:15Is it a load of croc or not?
01:17Because we're in crocodile country.
01:19Oh, no. I get it.
01:20True or false?
01:21Crocs can hold their breath for eight hours.
01:25True.
01:25Correct.
01:26Boom!
01:28Crocodiles have the strongest bite force of any animal.
01:31I'd say that's false.
01:32No. Incorrect.
01:33It's true.
01:34Yeah, it's true.
01:35A saltwater crocodile's bite is three and a half times stronger than a lion.
01:38Wow.
01:39I've got a fact for you.
01:40What was the most watched film on Christmas Day on BBC?
01:43Ever?
01:44Ever.
01:44Oh, I know. Wizard of Oz.
01:45No.
01:46You ready?
01:47Go on.
01:48Crocodile Dundee.
01:49No!
01:5021.8 million people.
01:52Amazing.
01:52We're going to go meet a real-life crocodile Dundee.
01:55His name's Jesse Crampton.
01:56Crocodile Crampton.
01:57Crocodile Crampton.
01:57Don't have the same sort of ring to it, does he?
01:59And he's going to teach us what we should do in this situation.
02:01If you're walking up Epineye Street and come up against a crocodile.
02:04Exactly.
02:04Well, do you know what you should never do, a crocodile?
02:06Go on.
02:07Smile.
02:09Never smile at a crocodile.
02:12Crocodile Crampton, sorry, Jesse, built the Croc Country Australia Sanctuary six years ago
02:18with a little help from his dad, Dave.
02:20I hear you guys want to feed a crocodile, huh?
02:22We do, we'd love to.
02:23Oh, I didn't say that.
02:24I didn't actually say that.
02:25I didn't say that.
02:26They work with the Australian government to house large crocodiles deemed dangerously out of control.
02:33So, Jesse, what's your story?
02:34Originally, my mother was a wildlife carer, I suppose.
02:37Maybe from a young age, that ingrained something in me.
02:39Right.
02:39We're having a bit of a housing crisis at the moment, so I've sort of stepped in and created this
02:45facility.
02:45Have you had any close calls?
02:46I've been bitten by smaller ones, but that's what we call character building in this industry.
02:52Yeah, of course.
02:54Have we got some crocodiles in here right now?
02:56Yeah, mate, we've got a big fella in here.
02:58Look, there's the crocodile's head.
02:59Look, look at the size of the thing.
03:01Has he got a name?
03:02His name is Kenny.
03:03Kenny.
03:04Kenny is a pretty cool crop.
03:06He's big.
03:07How big?
03:084.6 metres.
03:14Pretty much, I just need you guys to be aware, if this animal does bite you, he will kill you.
03:20I can try to save you, but I'll probably be unsuccessful.
03:23This is just getting worse and worse by the second, is it?
03:25It's OK, Brad, think of it like your dog, Lulu, but instead of a fluffy tail, it's a 600 kilogram
03:31killing machine, perfected over millions of years of evolution.
03:34So, all the best, boys.
03:38Shelley, you ready to build some character?
03:39No, of course I'm not.
03:40Why would I want to get in there with a crocodile?
03:41Are you mad?
03:43Alrighty-o, lads.
03:47Alright.
03:48So I like my gates open because they're our exits.
03:52Yeah.
03:52The thing with enclosures that I really don't like is...
03:55They're enclosed.
03:56You're enclosed.
03:57And the corners, the corners are death, you know, if he's just barrelling out like a rage bull.
04:02If I say, out the gate, out the gate, just out the gate, OK?
04:05When he feels like he's in strike range, that's when they explode out of the water.
04:10Mouth open.
04:12Big, gripping, penetrating teeth.
04:14They just drive those in, pull you straight in the water.
04:17Submerge, drown you, swim off, eat you.
04:20So take a couple of steps in.
04:22Mind your flanks.
04:23Let's go.
04:24Mind, look down there, look down there.
04:25He could be there, guys, so don't get complacent.
04:28Barnes, I'll go, I'll go.
04:30No, you come with...
04:31I'm coming with you, but I'm going to take...
04:33I'll take the inside.
04:34Have a look, look, look.
04:35You just see his head.
04:37No, I can't really see him.
04:38Come on, let's step closer.
04:40Oh, jeez.
04:40Closer.
04:42Oh, now I can see him.
04:43Got him, got him, got him, got him.
04:44I got him, I got him.
04:45This is what they do, right?
04:47I'm closer, Barnes.
04:47The Illinois surprise.
04:49Come back.
04:49Now, step back a bit, guys, because I'm going to splash him out.
04:52Barnes, get back, get back.
04:53Barney, get back here.
04:54This is serious.
04:55So you guys just naturally migrate that way.
04:57Same with cameraman there.
04:59OK, no worries.
05:01And don't die.
05:03OK, we'll try not to.
05:05All right, let's do this, eh?
05:07Come on, Kenny.
05:19I'm out of here.
05:21Hey, big boy.
05:22Hey.
05:23Oh, my God.
05:24Bon, bon, bon, bon.
05:28This is just the maddest thing.
05:37Did you hear that snap force?
05:39I did.
05:39That's what we call a jaw slap.
05:40Even my heart pumps, you know.
05:42I know.
05:42I bet, mate.
05:43I bet.
05:44This is Kenny.
05:45Hey, Kenny.
05:46Hi, Kenny again.
05:46Do you want to feed him first, or?
05:48I'll feed him, yeah, sure.
05:49Oh, no, I'm OK, thanks.
05:50I'm all crocodile-ed out.
05:52When you approach him, give yourself some length.
05:54OK.
05:55About that, you know.
05:57And then you feed him.
05:58If he charges, out the gate.
06:00If he bypasses the chicken and goes for your shoes,
06:04best of luck to you.
06:06This is nuts.
06:08Get ready.
06:09Game face.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Approach.
06:11Remember, your exit's straight there.
06:13OK.
06:14Come on, Kenny.
06:17Oh, my God.
06:19Oh, my God.
06:21You've got to have a go at that.
06:22Absolutely not.
06:23Sorry.
06:23You should feed him with the long stick.
06:25Feed him with the long stick.
06:25Oh, no, Barney, leave it.
06:26Let Jesse do it.
06:27He's the professional.
06:28Big stick, little stick.
06:30Big stick for him.
06:31That's not a big stick.
06:33That's a big stick.
06:35Sorry.
06:36I've been waiting for an opportunity ever since Crocodile Dundee was mentioned.
06:39Grab that stick on your dominant side.
06:41I don't even know what my dominant side is.
06:43You've got to figure it out pretty quick.
06:45Out here this way a little bit with me.
06:48This way.
06:50Are you ready?
06:51Good.
06:53Checking up.
06:57Coming a bit closer.
06:58Come have a look at him.
06:59He's got a mouthful.
07:01Are you mad?
07:02Yeah.
07:03Oh, my God.
07:03Oh, my Christ.
07:05Christ, Jesse, you're pulling me in.
07:06Everyone, but you're sh**ing yourself.
07:07Everyone back in the RV.
07:09See you later, alligator.
07:11He's putting his head up.
07:12Hey.
07:13Kenny, it was lovely to meet you.
07:15All right.
07:16Let's get out of here before we get killed, eh?
07:19Right on.
07:19Okay.
07:20Good idea.
07:21Well done.
07:21See you later, alligator.
07:24See you later, alligator.
07:24So long.
07:26That's all.
07:27Goodbye.
07:30That was one of the coolest things we've ever done.
07:33I found it quite scary.
07:35Of course, here we have the Daintree Rainforest, the oldest rainforest in the world.
07:39Is that true?
07:40Yeah.
07:40How can they compare this to the Amazon rainforest?
07:42No one's writing down.
07:43Well, you do, like, carbon dating.
07:44Is carbon dating like speed dating?
07:47It's when you check the half-life of the isotope of carbon, because everything decays over time.
07:52Don't I know, mate?
07:53Don't you know?
07:54Don't I know?
07:55It's 1,200 square kilometres.
07:57That is big.
07:58And around 20 First Nations tribes call the rainforest their home.
08:02Oh, right.
08:02Okay.
08:03In fact, the Daintree Rainforest's First Nation history belongs to the Eastern Kuku Yolangi people.
08:09Do you know what we're doing now?
08:10Other than sweating my vets off?
08:11No, I've got no idea.
08:12We're going to go and meet them.
08:14Oh, I love it.
08:15Let's go.
08:16All right, let's go.
08:18Just a short two-hour coastal drive, well, short by Australia's standard anyway, is Brad and Barney's next stop, Kuya
08:26Beach.
08:28Heya, you Link?
08:30Yeah, how are you?
08:31Hi, Link, good to meet you, man.
08:32Thank you for having us.
08:33There you are.
08:33Not a problem, yeah.
08:34First people in this area then.
08:37How far back are we talking?
08:39At least 40,000 to 50,000.
08:41Really?
08:42So the country that you're in now, the families have only come out of the forest two to three generations
08:47ago.
08:48So Dad was the first generation not born on the riverbank.
08:51Wow.
08:51So this is the fishing beach, so you're here to do some fishing with me today.
08:56Great.
08:56Cool.
08:56Have you guys handled a spear before?
08:58Coming from Epping, no.
08:59I've done javelin.
09:00A little bit different, but we'll have a practice.
09:02We'll get you to handle your spears and get warmed up first before we start.
09:09Wow, these are awesome.
09:10Yeah, so these are just made from bamboo.
09:12Do you know what bamboo is?
09:13What?
09:13A grass.
09:15Yeah.
09:17Well, that went down well.
09:18That's a fascinating fact, isn't it?
09:20That makes sense.
09:21I'm trying to teach you the worldly things.
09:23Do what it is, but it's a grass.
09:25Oh, yeah.
09:26Should we play Nintendo?
09:27If you see a fish today, the fish are going to take off.
09:30So you're going to have to throw your spear at the fish.
09:32All your weight on the back leg, just step into it, push with the finger.
09:37Let's see if you can hit that coconut.
09:38All right.
09:39Finger at the back.
09:42Not bad, not bad.
09:43Like this?
09:44Yeah, yep.
09:45Step into it and push hard.
09:47Not bad, not bad.
09:48We'll go again.
09:50Go on, Barnes, you go first.
09:52Nearly.
09:53That's hard.
09:54That's him, not bad.
09:56Ooh.
09:57Ooh, brothers.
09:59Take your time, take aim.
10:03Steady, though.
10:05Ooh, nearly there.
10:06All right, last two.
10:08I'm going to take you by surprise.
10:12Ooh.
10:16Oh, bomb.
10:17Not too far off, so well done.
10:20Thank you very much.
10:21Something tells me Link's just being nice.
10:24All right, guys, you ready?
10:24I'll just grab my bucket and we'll get out there.
10:27Keep those beers ready, just in case.
10:30Cool.
10:33Here's what the fish have been waiting for.
10:35Here comes Epping's finest.
10:40They're too quick.
10:41I'm not accurate enough.
10:43Whoa.
10:44Dad, I just saw a puffer fish.
10:45I don't think you can eat those, can you?
10:47They're dangerous, though.
10:47They'll sting you and kill you.
10:49It's just something else that kills you.
10:51Jesus Christ.
10:51I'm pretty sure we're hopeless at this.
10:53I think so.
10:54After over an hour, Brad and Barney finally land their prey.
10:59Have a quick look at that lump there.
11:00All right, guys, there's a mud crab.
11:02Look at it, watching you.
11:03Whilst they're just walking on the beach.
11:05Anyone want to have a hold?
11:06No.
11:07Go on, then, yeah.
11:08Are you sure?
11:09Well, when can we say we've ever picked up a mud crab in Australia?
11:13Sainsbury's.
11:13Right inside.
11:14You feel the...
11:15You feel the groove?
11:16Smith's of anger.
11:17Yeah.
11:17Once you get a really tight grip, straight up.
11:20Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:23Whoa.
11:25Okay, all right.
11:27Yep, straight in.
11:29We'll go back and we'll have a feed, eh, guys, and we'll cook this one up.
11:31You've tasted mud crab before?
11:33No.
11:33No.
11:34Okay.
11:34Never.
11:35It's always better when you catch your own.
11:37Yeah.
11:39After a long day of throwing spears at the sea, the boys head back to camp, where they're
11:44joined by Link's two youngest children, plus his brother, who's been enlisted to cook the
11:49entire haul of one mud crab.
11:52He's going to do some chilli vinegar crab food.
11:54I love chilli vinegar.
11:55That'll take about five or six minutes to cook.
11:57You've seen those?
11:58The didgeridoo?
11:59Yes, it's a didgeridoo.
12:00Please, yeah.
12:01So when you play, you've got to make the vibration with your face.
12:12That's really cool.
12:13That's really cool.
12:14That's really cool.
12:14Can't be here, come all the way here and not give it a go, the old didgeridoo.
12:20Okay, here we go.
12:26Oh, he's not bad.
12:29Kind of.
12:31There's a ship coming.
12:33I wouldn't be able to do this, though.
12:41You sound like an elephant with a cold.
12:44I'm going like Eddard.
12:46It's hard, that.
12:47It's not easy.
12:48Food's ready, guys.
12:48It's going to be cool.
12:49Yeah, let's do that.
12:51It's all yours.
12:52That is amazing.
12:59Oh, no.
13:01Chilli.
13:03All the old chilli.
13:05Hey, be aware of the old chilli bars.
13:07God, I lied.
13:08Love your eye out.
13:12That is the best crab I've ever eaten.
13:14Fresh.
13:14If you can recover from the oil.
13:16Well, look, thank you so much for having us.
13:19Don't worry, guys.
13:20I ain't going anywhere.
13:21That's unbelievable, isn't it?
13:22That is unbelievable.
13:23That is unbelievable, too.
13:24There's a fat moon on the right.
13:34The boys have finally reached Cairns, often considered the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, situated within the ancient wet
13:42tropics rainforest.
13:43With all those trees in the way, it's pretty difficult to admire the scenery, but Barney's found a solution.
13:50Great view of this, isn't it?
13:51Unbelievable.
13:52I mean...
13:52Cairns.
13:52Over there, you've got Yorkie's knob.
13:55Over there.
13:58That's actually what it's called, Yorkie's knob.
13:59No, it's not.
14:00It is.
14:00No, it's not.
14:01Yeah.
14:01No, it's not.
14:02It is.
14:02Not.
14:03Yorkie's knob.
14:03It's not called Yorkie's knob.
14:05It is.
14:06Anyway, so what are we going to do, then?
14:08Have you ever heard of a jungle swing?
14:10Oh, God almighty.
14:12Jungle swing?
14:14Jungle boogie.
14:15Get down, get down.
14:17Come on.
14:18You didn't think your last day would be that easy, did you?
14:20Get down, get down.
14:21Hey, guys.
14:22Hey, guys.
14:23I'm Barney.
14:24Nice to meet you.
14:24Jay, nice to meet you.
14:25Hello, Jay.
14:25Hello, I'm Barney.
14:26Brad, great to see you.
14:27Emma, Brad, good to see you.
14:29Nice to meet you.
14:29Yeah, well, guys, welcome to Skypike Cairns.
14:32We winch you up about 40 metres in the air.
14:34Yep.
14:34Once you're at the top, then you'll go from zero to 120 in three and a half seconds and end
14:39up 30 metres above that building with an insane view of Cairns.
14:42So if you guys are ready...
14:44Time for a harness?
14:44Oh, it's always a harness.
14:46Yeah, always.
14:47All right.
14:47Let's do it.
14:48Okay.
14:48Nice one, guys.
14:49Brilliant.
14:49Yeah.
14:55It's like a straitjacket.
14:56Oh, my God.
14:57We're just going to put some helmets on.
14:58More of a placebo thing.
15:00Yeah.
15:00Something goes wrong.
15:01That helmet's not going to help.
15:02Oh, it's not a placebo.
15:03Oh, blue.
15:04Just my colour.
15:05Thank you very much.
15:06Suits your eyes.
15:07Charm will get you everywhere, Jade.
15:09Bradley, if you want to come up first.
15:11Although not on this occasion.
15:13Okay.
15:14Once you get up there, there's only one way down, as you know.
15:19Get you guys into a position.
15:21This is like walking to the gallows.
15:23Oh, no.
15:24Oh, no.
15:30Oh, here we go.
15:32This is high, isn't it?
15:33Keep your neck tucked in.
15:34This swing is not for the faint-hearted.
15:38Oh, the f***.
15:40Brad and Barney are about to plummet 147 feet.
15:45Do you know what?
15:45Maybe we should stop doing this kind of thing.
15:47Shush.
15:49Accelerating as fast as a Ferrari.
15:51I really don't want to do this, no.
15:53But look, we're in it together.
15:56Which is the nice thing.
15:57And Brad's decided he wants the responsibility of pulling the release cord.
16:01All right, you're good to go!
16:03We might be here for a while.
16:05Hold my hand.
16:05I will.
16:06No, hold.
16:06Just link.
16:07Just link.
16:07Tuck it in.
16:08All right, all right, all right.
16:08Tuck in.
16:09All right, you ready?
16:11Yeah.
16:13Three, two, one, go.
16:16Ah!
16:24Oh, my God, look at that, we're going down.
16:29Oh, my God.
16:31It's all too beautiful.
16:33Oh, my God.
16:37That's the most awful thing ever.
16:39No, that was crazy.
16:41I've left my testicles in that tree.
16:44Oh, I absolutely f*** myself there.
16:46Oh, my God.
16:48There we go.
16:50I never want to do that again.
16:52Sod that.
16:55Oh.
16:58Oh.
17:00It's all too beautiful.
17:04It's all too beautiful.
17:07Hey.
17:08Hey.
17:08How are you feeling?
17:09I think I might be getting better.
17:10You know why?
17:11Why?
17:11Because I actually quite enjoyed that.
17:13Did you?
17:13Yeah.
17:14Come on, put it here.
17:15Well done, I'm quite enjoying it.
17:16I'm proud of you.
17:17Yeah.
17:17What next?
17:18Well, now I've got a treat for you.
17:20Go on, go on.
17:21We're going on a boat.
17:23Love boats.
17:24Come sail away.
17:25Come sail away.
17:27Come sail away with me, lad.
17:30Come sail away.
17:31After travelling over 6,000 kilometres,
17:34the boys are at the end of another epic odyssey.
17:36And where better to finish,
17:38before the washes say huru to Australia,
17:41than a natural ecosystem so big it can be seen from space,
17:44the Great Barrier Reef.
17:48This is amazing.
17:49This is the life, isn't it?
17:50It actually is.
17:50This is a bucket list thing to do.
17:52No, it really is.
17:53I never ever thought I'd ever get here.
17:55So this is great.
17:56Wow.
17:57Guys, thank you for having us today.
17:58Yeah, thank you.
17:59What a day.
17:59Can I ask you, Pablo,
18:01how far are we off of the coast now?
18:04Around 40 nautical miles.
18:05We are right on the edge of a continental shelf.
18:08That's where the visibility,
18:10the water clarity is so good.
18:13It's a natural wonder of the world, right?
18:15It's one of the seven natural wonders.
18:16Yeah.
18:17We are going to take you to a place called Three Sisters,
18:20surrounded by fish life.
18:25All righty, guys.
18:26So we make it to the destination.
18:28Okay.
18:28And let's suit up.
18:30All right.
18:30Okay, brilliant.
18:30Let's go.
18:31Let's do it.
18:34Oh, I've caught my chest there.
18:37Enough talking.
18:38Buzz Lightyear.
18:38Put your flippers on.
18:40And now, I'm a rabbit.
18:43Well, come on then.
18:44Hop to it.
18:45Two, one, go.
18:57God, there's a turtle.
19:18Holy f***.
19:20There's a shark.
19:30Are you mad?
19:40Wow.
19:41I never thought it would be like that.
19:43Isn't that special?
19:45Oh, man.
19:46And I'm glad we got to do it together.
19:47Well done, mate.
19:50Take a bath.
19:51The Great Barrier Reef.
20:00This is amazing.
20:02This has been my favourite trip.
20:04Has it?
20:04The stuff we've done.
20:05Within six foot of a crocodile, wild crocodile, you.
20:09Unbelievable.
20:09Do you know what I mean?
20:10And you've absolutely smashed the height stuff this time around.
20:12Well, I'm not sure about that.
20:13Stunt planes over Sydney.
20:15Oh, yeah.
20:15That was terrible.
20:16It was sick.
20:17Yeah.
20:17It was sick.
20:18That was that bag of crisps.
20:20And the places we've been, Sydney, Brisbane, in back, out back, up back, down back.
20:24We've been everywhere.
20:25What a trip.
20:26What a trip.
20:27And we're so lucky that we get to do this together, you know?
20:29No, we don't.
20:29We get to explore the world together.
20:30Love you, mate.
20:31Love you too, Dad.
20:32Right.
20:32Time for a song?
20:33It's time for a song.
