00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,359
Oi, Matty, looks like some opals
falling out of that mud level, man,

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,879
but it's right underneath
this crack.MATHEW: You're kidding.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,159
Ah. Some of it is in the worst spot,
innit? I'm going for it, bro.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,839
All right. Just be careful.
Okay. Don't move it now.
Just go in there and get it.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,799
All right, mate. Let's go.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,879
Ah, there is some chips here, bro.

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,999
Ah! And coloured chips, too, mate.

8
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:26,919

Oh, man.It's a little bit dangerous
around here.

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,399
Big blocky sections, so...

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,239
you really got to worry about
when they start separating.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,679
Like, over here.
See the old-timers put in a chair.

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,879
If that chair falls down
when they're at home,

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,879
when they come down here,
they know that the ground's moved.

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,639
Not much holding it up here.

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,439
Man, I'm gonna--
Just don't chip any more out.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,999
Hey, I'll back out, man.
Hey, hey, hey, just get out.

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,599
Should be all right.
Get out before we go back in...

There you go.All right.

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,079
We need some better solution,
in case if those moves, man.

23
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:11,399
The old light globe trick?
You get that in there nicely,
you reckon?

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,239
Yeah, wedge it up nice and tight
without breaking it,

25
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,199
and in that way,
any movement at all,
I'll be able to hear it

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,439
and I'll come scrambling out
fast as I can.

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,919
All right, I'll stand back here.

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,359
I'll watch these cracks.
Yeah, sweet.

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,639
I don't really like the look of it.
There is nothing supporting
this side,

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,639
so we've jammed a light globe up
in there.

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,679
If it starts to shift, hopefully
it'll just smash that light globe

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,239
and he'll hear it
and be able to get out of there.

33
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,959
Ooh. I can see what
they were chasing,

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,919
but, yeah, I can't see
any (BLEEP) opal yet.

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,799

quite hard in there, mate!
Take it easy!

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,759
Well, it's hard ground, mate.
So I got to hit it to get it out.

The black lighting is, eh...
this UV light here?

105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,879
It's powered by a whole heap
of big batteries.

106

we might find some opal,

orange crystal here somewhere.

113
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,479
Oh, I'll have a look.

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,039
These black lights
don't work for all opal,

115
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,439
but they seem to work
for Andamooka opal,

116
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,559
and some places
like Coober Pedy and stuff.

117
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,439
The only thing you should be able
to see is opal glowing up.

118
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,279
Sometimes little bits of seeds
or spiders or other things
can glow, too,

119
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,799
so you just got to be careful
before you try picking it up.

120
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,479
Hey!

121
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:09,679

There's a little bit of seam opal.

123

00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,239
We really haven't found much opal.

166
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,879
We're very far away
from our $150,000 target.

167
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,799
ROD: We're not getting money
anywhere else,

168
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,959
and it's pretty important
to hit the target this year

169
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,879
because we really need to

170
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,079
get Les retired properly
with a few comforts.

171
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,119
I would like to stop work
or slow down.

172
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,879
Not stop cos I'll die if we stop.

173
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,999
So I want... just wanna slow down.
But if we can't slow down,

174
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,879
we'll just have
to keep on swinging that shovel.

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,439
Okay, well, we can't get to where
that good ground is

176
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,799
to see whether it's been
dug out there or not.

177
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,639
It's dangerous.I know.
They've moved much dirt.

178
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,359
Settled it all up.Pretty much.

179
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,559
They've left next to nothing
to support the roof.

180
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,639
She's dangerous
as (BLEEP) down there.JAKE: Yeah.

181
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,239
But I saw this thing online.

182
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,799
Yeah.There's this company,
and it specialises

183
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,199
in mapping underground areas.
All right.

184
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,039
I reckon they'll be able to map out
all the drives

185
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,399
and actually tell us
where the solid ground is
and where it's safe to go.

186
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,239
Well, what does this cost?

187
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,119
Well, you know what?
They're in town at the moment.

188
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,879
I can have a chat to them
and see what we can work out.Yeah.

189
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,799
It sounds pretty simple...
I don't know what they're
gonna do, actually,

190
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,119
but they're gonna map
the whole mine.

191
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,799
It sounds a bit space age,

192
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,559
and it does sound a bit, er,
too good to be true, really.

193
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,399
Hello?Hi.
Hey. You must be Sam.

194
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,159
I'm Sam.Great to meet you.

195
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,999
We made it.
Erm, well, yeah, this is it.

196
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,759
Erm, what this is,
is a really, really old field.

197
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,839
Okay.It's really dangerous.Okay.

198
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,999
And we want to see
what's underground here.

199
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,199
And Sam reckons
that you can help us out.

200
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,999
Yeah. we've got a whole
bunch of gear we've brought along

201
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,639
that's usually used
in big underground mines.Right.

202
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,559
You know, this is
an exciting opportunity for us

203
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,639
to test our kits in something new.
Right.

204
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,479
I think we'll be able
to help you. We've got
some cool stuff.

205
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,279
So where do we start?

206
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,079
LES: Yeah, they seem
to be good guys,

207
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,479
but this technology,
I don't know about that.

208
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,319
JEREMY: So what we're doing now
is we're setting up our cage,

209
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,079
and that's so that we can lower it
into the vertical shaft.

210
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,399
What's the blue thing?
Laser scanner...All right.

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,639
...that we're are gonna be using
to create the 3D models underground.

212
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,279
LES: It'd be interesting
to see what comes out of this,

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,039
whether it's something readable
or whether it's bullshit, guys.

214
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,679
All right, we've got nice
shiny metal scanner thing

215
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,719
and this old rusty arse swindler.

216
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,879
So, it's now it's streaming
that information to the tablet.

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,119
So, we're already seeing
the scan down the shaft over here.

218
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,799
SAM: Oh. Nice.
Looking from the side you can...
JAKE: There we are.

219
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,399
STEFAN: There's a chance that
it doesn't work because
the spaces are too small,

220
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,079
er, but that's what we're here for.

221
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,239
We only learn and improve things
by breaking them

222
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,959
and testing them
in new environments.

223
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,119
Okay!So if it works, I think
it's going to be pretty awesome.

224
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,879
We'll get a full 3D view
of what's happening underground.

225
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,079
ROD: Watch your step, Les.

226
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,519
So what we'll do is take this
and go for a walk around

227
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,599
the areas that are safe
to walk around.Yeah.

228
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,279
While it's scanning,
you'll able to see the map
on the tablet

229
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,679
so we can see the areas
we've covered.Look at that.

230
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,799
(CHUCKLES)Yeah, that's incredible.
Perfect.

231
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,119
Ready for a walk?Sounds good.Okay.

232
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,439
We're already making tracks on this.

233
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,879
ROD: And see how big this area is.

234
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,639
And it's all unsupported.
Yeah. Wow.

235
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,159
We're starting to hit
the danger spot right here.

236
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,839
We had the collapse in there.

237
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,519
We can't go much further.

238
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,639
See down there?Yep.

239
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,519
The interesting thing for us
is what's around that corner.

240
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,999
Right.That's where
we're really interested to see.

241
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,839
We're not going
around the corner, are we?
No, unfortunately not.

242
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,159
That's where we need to know
about the solid ground.Okay.

243
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,639
All right. Well,
Give me two minutes. I'll be back
with something different.

244
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,159
And I think we will get
the data you need.

245
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,679
Yeah, this technology is all good
as long as it all works.

246
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,239
But if you get into a position
where you can't look around
the bloody corner...

247
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,159
Yeah....what good is it?Now...

248
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,199
Now, we'll wait for him
and see what he does.

249
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,399
(RHYTHMIC CLANKING)

250
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,119
What is it?I don't know.
What the bloody hell is that?

251
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,679
What is that?I have no idea.

252
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,719
So we're pretty much
abandoning the mine,

253
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,679
so we'll salvage whatever we can.
Yeah.

254
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,039
This is pretty dodgy, too, eh?

255
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,719
When you're underground,
you've got to keep your wits
about you.

256
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,039
If something goes wrong down here,
you're dead.

257
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,039
Coming down!All right. Come down.

258
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,519
You see the nut band?Yeah.

259
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,639
Oh, my gosh.
There's so many of them.

260
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,839
Millions of nuts. Millions.
Wow. That is insane.

261
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,039
Ah, this is so cool.Yeah.

262
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,279
Sometimes you get
these bad boys over there.

263
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,519
It's amazing because you get
these rings around it.

264
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,999
So you'll see this big ring,
and as you come in towards
the Yowah nut, it gets smaller.

265
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,239
And that's how you know
there's gonna be one.

266
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,999
Look at that.
That nut is holding up
the whole entire structure.

267
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,719
And that's why I didn't take it out.
If you took that out,

268
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,759
very likely you'd get a cave in.

269
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,759
NARRATOR: Yowah,
Southwest Queensland.

270
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,759
Population, 126.

271
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,479
A remote mining outpost
blasted by 40-degree heat

272
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:01,039
and suffocating dust storms.

273
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,439
A harsh landscape that hides
an exquisite and unique form
of opal.

274
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Where you get your tribal patterns
and your beautiful picture stones,

275
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,839
it's literally the rarest
formation in the world.

276
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,519
It's only in the Yowah region.

277
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,759
Yowah nuts are ironstone rocks
with an opal centre

278
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,879
producing specimens
that can sell for over $100,000.

279
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,199
This is opal country,
and this is my playground.
I love it here.

280
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,559
I'm about to walk into another one
of our mines.

281
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,919
My friend's had this one
for a while.

282
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,999
Part of a local mining dynasty,

283
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,999
Isaac Andreou,
from the Opal Whisperers,

284
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,239
has ties to Yowah
that go back over 50 years.

285
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,679
I'm second generation, so, you know,
I've got to live up to the legacy.

286
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,639
Come a bit close.

287
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,199
Mum and Dad used to bring us kids
out here all the time.

288
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,999
Scratching around, fossicking,
cutting opal.

289
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,479
What do you think, Dad?
How did they come out?
DAD: It's quite incredible.

290
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,319
They've done their bit.
Mum's retired

291
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,119
and Dad's passed away.
He left a few dreams behind,

292
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,479
and it's my job
to sort of fulfil them.
I'd like to see them through.

293
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,519
(HINGES CREAKING)Oh, wow!

294
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,799
After two years away...
It's packed pretty solid.

295
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,839
...Isaac is back at his Whisperers'
secret claim with new teammate

296
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,159
and rookie excavator operator,
Kelly Taylor.

297
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,239
This season of Opal Whisperers,
we've gone full bore.

298
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,279
We've got Kelly onboard,
and that means big machines,

299
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,119
which is what
we've always been wanting.

300
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,399
I've dabbled with a fair
few machines along the way.

301
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,479
My dad was a crane driver.

302
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,359
My brother-in-laws
have heavy machinery.

303
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,559
All the way along my life,
I've always been able
to give anything a go.

304
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,319
Kelly's, er, my best friend
from way back.
Yeah, she gets it, you know?

305
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,559
She's not scared
of a bit of hard work.

306
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,399
I don't have that much knowledge
when it comes to opals.

307
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,879
I'm still learning,
but I'm just really interested,

308
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,879
and hopefully, we'll learn
a lot more along the way.

309
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,279
Season target this year
is 300 grand.

310
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,599
It's a lot of money.
We're setting the bar really high.

311
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,119
We've got big machinery this year.
We're going full bore.

312
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,079
I think it's 22 tonnes or something,
wasn't it?20 tonne, yeah.

313
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,159
She's got this excavator for us.
Erm, there's money owing on that.

314
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,079
And I've spent everything I did have
on the rig and the setup.

315
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,599
Isaac has bills to pay.
I have bills to pay.

316
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,039
If it doesn't work out, then, yeah,
that's a huge loss for us.

317
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,439
The plan is to dig down
to the first level,
which is at about six foot,

318
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,559
and, er, get all the little nuts out
and see what's in them.

319
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,839
All right, Kel, ripping away, babe.

320
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,479
Look at that.
That's the first bucket.

321
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,919
Everything's riding on this.
I've sunk in every dollar I've got.

322
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,599
There's been fortunes
made and lost on this ground,

323
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,279
and we're about to find out
which one it is for us.

(MACHINE SQUEAKING)
Hear that?

325
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,799
That's the cap rock.

326
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,679
Wow, that's... that is bloody rough.

327
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,319
In the hour,
at about three-foot deep,

328
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,199
you get this layer
of really hard rock.
They call it cap rock.

329
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,479
It's red, hard...

330

Oh.(ENGINE WHIRRING)

331
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,119
Ooh. That's hard.

332
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,199
Look at the smoke
coming off the teeth.

333
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:20,399
Argh, (BLEEP).
This ground is (BLEEP) hard.

00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:27,199
(OVER RADIO) Hey, Isaac.
I'm not used to ground this hard.

336
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,759
Yeah, I am not really comfortable

337
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,239
with moving much more of this.

00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,519
I just feel down the hill.
Oh, (BLEEP)

Where are ya?Down here.

343
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,439
Oh, you're there.
Yeah, luckily this ledge was here.

344
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,559
Bro, you're lucky this big rock
didn't come down with you.

Holy Jesus Christ!

Yeah, I should be all right.

350
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,239
How's the ankle going, mate?
Sure it'll be all right?

351
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,999
Probably good by tomorrow.
All right.

352
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,919
That's good.
We'll just call it a day?

353
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,759
Yeah, we'll come back
with the truck tomorrow.

354
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,519
We'll take where you found
that trace from.

355
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,679
We'll just run with that.
Yeah. Good idea.(GROANS)

356
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,039
I'll start heading over,
if you're ready.

357
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,119
Let's go get this dirt.

NARRATOR: After finding colour
in discarded waste piles
at Hallion Hill Claim,

359
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,999
the Mooka Boys have returned
to haul the pay dirt

360
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,959
to their opal processing plant,
known as a "Noodler."

361
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,119
Eh, now we're gonna
scrape it all up,

362
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,479
chuck it in the truck,
get it out to the Noodler.

363
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,479
We'll find out exactly
what's in this.

364
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,559
Dusty!

365
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,839
Be careful I don't bang
this truck up too much.

366
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,239
It's pretty old.
She's had a lot of damage already.

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,319
I don't want to hurt her anymore.

368
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:20,919
I don't want to go too heavy
on those tyres, mate,
so we'll make that load.

369
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,879
Righto. Too easy.
See you in a minute.

370
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,279
Truck loaded. That's the stuff
that's gonna go in the Noodler.

371
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,399
And hopefully, we'll find some opal.

372
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:37,519
Hopefully, this one's got
40 pieces of opal in it.

373
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,319
So, it's getting hot out here.

374
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,279
Freezing cold nights,
bloody hot days.

375
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,119
That's the desert for you.

376
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,239
That's heaps better.

377
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,799
Yeah, we really need
to find some opal here.

378
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,999
We're really hoping
a few loads of this

379
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,479
will turn into a few opals
in the bucket.

380
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,159
I just hope opal is right here.

381
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,919
I mean, we found
a little bit of black lighting
last night, but, erm...

382
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,799
you know, it's not really
an indication to how much opal
is gonna be in the piles.

383
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,479
If there's nothing in these piles,
and I don't know what
we're gonna do.

384
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,319
That's a load there, Cozzy.
Righto. I'll see you in a minute.

385
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,759
(LOUD BANG)(BLEEP) what was that?

386
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,919
Ahh, my tyre!

387
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,959
Oh, get there. Come on.

388
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,399
Oh, it off!

389
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,479
Come on. Let me get to the Noodler.

390
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Come on. Come on.

Yo, get.(CHUCKLES)

394
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,239
It's gonna charge, whatever it is.

395
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,959
That's probably our miracle, mate,
by the looks of that.

396
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,759
It's something different.

397
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,959
This is your surprise.
I see, er, Spot beat me to it.

398
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,519
So yeah. This is the trick
I was talking about.

399
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,679
This is a robotic dog.Look out...

(ALL LAUGHING)

401
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,519
He's a good boy. So, this is Spot.

402
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,639
It's a robot that we can now
send into places where
we can't send a person.

403
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,839
Spot can safely go in and...
So you reckon he can walk
around that corner up there?

404
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,559
I think he could give it a go.
Really?Yeah, yeah.

with new technology,

using a $280,000 autonomous robot

408
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,719
to explore a maze
of dangerous, abandoned tunnels.

409

JAKE: Never seen a dog
like this before.

410
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,559
He's got all these
flashlights on him
and he walks a bit funny,

411
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,959
but I'd be keen to see
what he's gonna find for us, so...

412
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,399
Now, where's the (BLEEP) going?

413
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,199
JEREMY: It's making
its own decisions.

414
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,799
I'm not in control.
I still have authority, right?

415
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,999
I can pause it.
I can have it come home.

416
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,959
But I'm not making any decisions.
That's all happening on court.

417
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,159
SAM: That's really cool.
So... he's thinking
about what's around him,

418
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,759
what's in front of him
and underneath him and making
all them decisions?Yeah.

419
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,679
He's having a bit of trouble
making up his mind.JAKE: No,
he's going all right there.

420
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,679
Tracking through that mud,
that's not easy.

421
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,519

coming back to me.

LES: Ooh.(SAM CHUCKLES)

425
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,039
Can you turn him around
that way to see what's
on the other side there?

426
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,879
STEFAN: Maybe little bit more.
Behind him, like, to the left.

427
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,159
Ooh. No way.SAM: I think
there's a lot more workings
than we realised.Yeah.

428
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,719
That's all hollow in that...
in that area we thought was solid.

429
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,279
But what we're looking for
is a big block of ground
that hasn't been dug.

430
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,679
The dog went up there
and done a bit of a scan,

431
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,519
and we don't think
it's up there now,

432
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,119
so we're going to have another
look down another drive,

433
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,639
and see, maybe it's a bit
of solid ground down there.

434
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,319
JEREMY: And off he goes.

435
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,759
So he's got to look after himself
and find his own path to get there.

436
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,079
I've lost communication with him
because we've turned a few corners.

437
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,279
And he's down further into the mine.

438
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,119
So, is he still going?
He's still going. Yeah.

439
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,319
That's the last picture
we got from the camera.

440
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,279
So you've lost it there, too.
Yeah, we just lost signal.

441
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,879
ISAAC: There was smoke
coming off from the floor.

442
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,239
It's solid cap rock, hey.
It's so hard.

443
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,679
I'm not used to it.
I'm stressed, to be honest.Okay.

444
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,359
I can't operate
that thing so, erm...

445
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,439
we could call it a day or...
what are you thinking?

NARRATOR: In Yowah,
almost impenetrable cap rock

00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,999
Erm, is there anyone here
who might be able to, like,

449
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,079
show... give me some pointers
or just...

450
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,399
lend us a hand?
Yeah, I'll make a call.
(LINE RINGING)

451
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,279
I've only done previous work
before with,

452
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,599
like, a lot lighter soils
and whatnot.

453
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,479
I'm a little bit nervous
that I might break something.

454
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,719
Here comes Kim,
one of the local boys.

455
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,679
He might be here to save the day.

456
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,279
Kim's come along. He's an old friend
of the family. He knew
my mum and dad.

457
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:24,439
I probably met him
when I was eight years old.

458
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,359
How you going, mate?
Good. How you going?

459
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,999
Pretty good. Hey, this is Kelly.
Nice to meet you, Kim.

460
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,079
Basically, we really wanna
take the nut level.
It's really shallow.

461
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,319
What do you charge?Thousand a day.
Something like that.Erm...

462
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,479
Okay, I don't really have
the dosh on me yet.

463
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,559
We could do, you know, I could pay
you later or...

464
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,279
what do you reckon a bucket, like,
a bucket of nut today?Er...

465
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,679
How does it sound?Okay, then.
Yeah, we'll do it for it.

466
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,919
Thank you.Are you good with that?
Yeah.Sweet.

467
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,279
Thanks, Kim.
It's a bit of a gamble for him,

468
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:02,079
but he could walk away
with a whole heap of money.

469
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,599
Changed over to the ripper.

470
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,399
Make it a bit easier
to get down to the bottom level.

471
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,719
It's very hard at the moment.
But that's good.

472
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,879
That means the silica has run there.

473
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,639
NARRATOR: Millions of years ago,
Yowah was covered
by an ancient inland sea.

474
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,759
Over time, silica rich water filled
the cracks in ironstone rocks,

475
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,359
hardening to form opal.

476
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,159
That's the Yowah nut.Really?Yeah.

477
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,359
One in 1,000 of those
will have colour in the skin of it.

478
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,319
One in 10,000 has a crystal centre
eye kernel that's...

479
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,039
they could be worth $10,000.
Wow.Yeah.

480
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:46,039
So, 999 to go.(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I'm just going through
this pile here.

482
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,399
We'll hopefully trying to find
some colour in something,

483
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,999
so that we can convince Kim
to let us use the loader

484
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,959
so that we can get this done
a lot quicker

485
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,759
because this is just
gonna take us forever.

486
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,199
The loader will take all of fill

487
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,599
over to the trommel
and it'll sort it for us.

488
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,559
We need a loader
and Kim's the man for that.

489
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,559
His work, his time is worth
1,000 bucks a day,

490
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,759
and there's no way you're gonna
get 1,000 bucks out of that.
It's just nothing.

491
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,999
Come on.

492
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,079
Now, let me get this load off.

493
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,719
Ahh! (BLEEP)

494
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,599
Come over, look at this, Matty.

495
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,359
Holy...

496
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,639
I don't reckon
we're running this anymore, mate.

497
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,119
At least, we got a few piles out,
I guess. I just...

498
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,399
But I hope there's some opal
in there now, bro.

499
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,839
NARRATOR: At their
Hallion Hill Claim,

500
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,599
a burst truck tyre
has left the Mooka Boys
unable to haul pay dirt

501
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,759
to their Noodler for processing.

502
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,159
If we don't find a few grand then...
who knows what we're gonna do?

503
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,119
Run the dirt that we've got
and just pray for opal.

504
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,279
So, this is what we call
our Noodler machine.

505
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:16,039
It's basically comprised
of a big hopper here
that we load up.

506
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,919
It's got a belt that feeds it out
to what we call the travel belt,

507
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,719
drops into our shaker,

508
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,799
and the dirt runs
through this room here.

509
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,999
That's where Cozzy will be sitting
and just picking all
the glowing rocks off that belt.

510
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,039
It doesn't seem like too much
is coming through.

511
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:35,799
Still no opal, Matty!

512
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,359
Even though we've got this new dirt,
I'm not finding much.

513
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:44,039
I'm getting a little bit worried.
It's already cost us a lot of money
this week, so...

514
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,519
just gonna hope there's something
in there somewhere.

515
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,879
Here we go.

516
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,079
You got any opal yet, bro?

517
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,479
A few bits and pieces off the belt,
man, I'm not too sure!

518
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,879
I know that I'm putting a few stones
every minute into this bucket,

519
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,639
which is bloody good.

520
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,359
Yeah, I've got some opal, Matty!

521
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,719
Ah, yeah, beauty!
We got some opal coming! Yes!

522
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,319
This is what we wanna see!
No, lucky we've got Leif, mate.

523
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,079
His knowledge of this claim is,
er... it has definitely paid off
for us this time.

524
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,359
Hey, how much dirt
we're going to go through?

525
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,759
We're getting close
to the end, mate!

526
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,799
Until we get the opal out
of the dark room,

527
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,559
we've got no idea whether
it's just common opal,
which is worthless,

528
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,159
or we've got some decent crystal
which we really need right now.

529
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,319
All right, bro, I'll shut it down.
We'll have a look, mate.

530
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,199
We've lost, we lost the Wi-Fi link,

531
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,759
so we can't see enough.
Yeah, we've lost comms.

532
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,959
I haven't got camera data
coming back anymore.

533
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,239
But he should carry on
with the mission,

534
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,319
but I don't know what
that noise was, so let's...Yeah!

535
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,559
NARRATOR: In Grawin,
the Bushmen have lost contact

536
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:13,239
with a $280,000 autonomous robot dog

537
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,919
mapping out a dangerous section
of an abandoned mine.

538
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,119
Let's see if I can...
Potentially, you might've
lost him there, so...

539
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,519
Well, I'm just kind of out of...
It could be dead.

540
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,199
God, I hope not.
The maximum Wi-Fi range here...

541
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,999
(FAINT RUSTLING)Wait...
I can hear something.
I can hear him.

542
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,959
(FAINT RUSTLING CONTINUES)

543
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,039
I can hear footsteps.
I don't know what that noise was.

544
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,119
I can see some lights. Here he is.

545
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,199
Ooh, Spot.(ALL CHEERING)

546
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,319
(ALL CHUCKLING)
ROD: Get on here, Spot.
Get on here, Spot.

547
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,879
SAM: Yeah, still has four legs.
Look at the mud on him.

548
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,759
Oh, wow, it mapped out
a lot of area.

549
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,959
JEREMY: We have new information
as well.ROD: All right.

550
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,319
The only thing he can't do
is piss on me toy.

551
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,519
SAM: Oh, yeah, pity.
JAKE: Awesome.

552
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,799
JEREMY: Stefan and I processed
the data from the scanning
we did underground.

553
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,479
And the level of detail
underground in the mine is really,
really something cool.

554
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,239
SAM: Wow, that's cool.
LES: Wow! (CHUCKLES) Look at that!

555
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,959
It is amazing
what can be done with it.

556
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,999
JEREMY: Look at that.
You can see us.
You can see the props.

557
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,399
SAM: It picks up everything.
Does that help you?

558
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,599
Oh, definitely.

559
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,799
I've seen two spots that look
pretty interesting to me.

560
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,799
That one you said, Les,
where the solid ground is.Yeah.

561
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,799
And that other little one.
SAM: Yeah.

562
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,559
It won't cost us any money.
Yeah, it gives a good guideline
to run on.Yeah.

563
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,479
STEFAN: I'm pleased
with the results we've managed
to get.

564
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,599
That's more than we could've
hoped for to test our equipment.

565
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,839
Tested in some new environment
and the data is actually
gonna help them

566
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,039
potentially find new areas
to look for opals.

567
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,319
ROD: See? He's all right.

568
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,199
JEREMY: Cheers, mate. Appreciate it.
See you later, Spot.

569
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,959
Come on, now,
say goodbye to your mate.
(ALL CHUCKLE)

570
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,479
JEREMY: All righty.Thanks, mate.
Thank you. Been great to be here.
Fantastic. Fan-bloody-tastic.

571
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,799
Now we know
where the dangerous ground is...

572
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,919
SAM: Yeah....we know
where the solid ground is.

573
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,279
So let's get down there
and have a bit of a look at it, eh?

574
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,639
Can't wait to find it.I'm excited.
(GROANS)

575
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,599
I think what we ought to do
is just split up.

576
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,599
We're just trying
to read the ground,
and see where we can go.

577
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,479
Okay.If we can find some
nice thick seams,

578
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,919
running back into that solid ground,
then we've got a chance, you know.

579
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,079
Interesting how it's changing.
Wann put your hand under that?Yep.

580
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,439
ROD: You never know how long
it's gonna take.

581
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,799
Six inches in this wall,
there could be $100,000,

582
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,279
or it could be six metres.
Or it could be 600 meters.

583
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,439
You know, you just don't know.

584
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,159
Eh... And there you go.
It's got a dot of red.

585
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,959
It's got one tiny little dot of red
in that.

586
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,439
You never know,
we might be on to something here.

587
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,879
SAM: Rod!Yes, Sam.
You're going to like
what I have to show you.

588
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,759
I'll start with this one.
(LAUGHS) Pickle me
grandmother, Sam!

589
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,519
I know, right?
Look at the green in there, mate.

590
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,359
It's beautiful.
And the size of it, too.
That's a big stone.

591
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,119
That's another little bit that came
off it. Man, it's bright.

592
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,079
Look at the colour. We're on.
We are!

593
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,639
Give me some quality nuts. Come on.

594
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,079
NARRATOR: The Opal Whisperers
are struggling to find
rare Yowah nuts

595
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,839
at their Whisperers' secret claim.

596
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,599
ISAAC: I need opal.
I need opal to pay these guys.

597
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,599
I need opal to keep
my promise to everyone.

598
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,319
And I need opal for, erm,
you know, the legacy of my family.

599
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,039
Kelly, Kel!Coming.

600
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,039
Oh, my gosh!
Whoo! That's electric, isn't it?

601
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,119
That is insane! Yes! High-five!

602
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,039
Find a bit, Isaac?
Yeah, mate, check that out.

603
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,519
Oh, that's nice.
I'm sure there's more
down here, too, Kim.

604
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,119
Better stop ripping, then.
Yeah, right.

605
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,919
And we should, erm...

606
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,919
get it out with the loader.

607
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,079
The loader will take
all of this spill over
to the trommel.

608
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,319
This is our trommel.

609
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,039
This here, this old track
that's probably from the '50s,

610
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,839
drive shaft goes to a pulley,
spins it around.

611
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,599
You can see our massive,
erm, funnel up here.

612
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,999
In there is all the particles
of the level,

613
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,159
and the faster it spins,
all the small particles fall apart.

614
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,999
Yeah.And they break up,
falls through to the pit
that we've dug on the other side.

615
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,719
And what's left inside
is just ironstone, and hopefully,
that holds the opal.

616
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,919
That was the deal, Kim.
So that's one as promised.
Good. Yeah.

617
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,319
Thank you very much.There we go.
Thanks again.

618
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,119
Really appreciate it.Yep.

619
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,279
So far, we've... you know,
I've only just, sort of, started.

620
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,479
I've opened up about a dozen or two.

621
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,839
No, no, what about my lucky one?

622
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,479
And, erm, a little bit of pattern
and whatnot,

623
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,439
but no crystal centres,
which is what we're really after.

624
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:23,959
Ah, these... No!

625
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,479
There's a lot at stake here.
I've got customers on my website
that are gagging for nice stones.

626
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,679
You know, if we don't
hit that colour, then I lose
those customers.

627
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,439
No good. Keep at it. Stay positive.
It's all about manifestation.

628
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,839
Keep the dream alive and hopefully,
you'll just... we'll just nail it.

629
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,879
That's what we need to do.

630
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,439
This one sounds all right.

631
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,479
We like the sound of that.

632
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,479
(EXCLAIMS) We've got
a crystal centre!

633
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,559
Holy!Look at that.

634
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,319
Oh, my God!Oh, wow.(LAUGHS)

635
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,079
Yes! Finally!
That's my favourite blue!

636
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,079
Check it out. Deep blue,
like Mediterranean.

637
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,679
Wait, that's, erm, thousands.
Period.Yeah, yeah.

638
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,279
We only got another $999,000 to go
before we get another one of them.

639
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,119
You can see some colour, eh?
One earring.

640
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,759
Ah!Ah!

641
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,799
After all that excitement,
we're back to clay.

642
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,959
Yeah, it might only be one,
but it just gives us that optimism

643
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,159
that there's gonna be more,
so, yeah, we're stoked.

644
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Oi! We did it again! We did it!
Look at this!

645
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,559
Ah! Oh, this has got pattern
and colour, mate.

646
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,199
This is worth thousands. Oh, my God.

647
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,839
Like, you'll have collectors
absolutely jumping at that.

648
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,759
I can't believe they'll work.

649
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,599
What?That is beautiful.
That's beautiful. Beautiful.

650
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,159
Kel! (LAUGHS TRIUMPHANTLY)

651
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,959
(LAUGHS)They have eyes!

652
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,039
Oh, my God! Check that out.

653
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,039
They're the best...
I think I've ever cut.

654
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,079
Mwah!Oh, my God.
We've got a good one, mate.
Look at that.

655
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,839
There's something about
when you find colour

656
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,999
that will just saturate
your soul with love.

657
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,159
It's beautiful.Yeah.
I've never seen anything like that.

658
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,159
Now we'll see what we put
into this bucket.

659
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,959
How about we call up Leif
before we have a look, mate,

660
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,679
so we all look at it together?

661
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,799
Yeah, well, you get him
on the phone, and I'll tip it
all out here.

662
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,839
NARRATOR: Following advice
from absent teammate, Leif Tanzer,

663
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,519
the Mooka Boys targeted a new area
of their Hallion Hill Claim,

664
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,279
processing over 20 tonnes
of pay dirt.

665
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,319
All right. You ready?Yeah.

666
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,639
How you going, man?
How you going, bro?

667
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,159
We went and checked out that spot
you talked about and found
a bit of opal.

668
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,719
My buddy blew two tyres
out in the truck, getting it here,

669
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,439
but been running the Noodler
all day.

670
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,079
We've got a fair bit
of opal through. We haven't
even looked at it yet.

671
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,759
So we thought we'd call you up.

672
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,399
We have some good chunks
coming through. So hopefully,
we've got some colour here.

673
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,159
All right, here we go.
What have we got?

674
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:28,119
Oh, mate, we did all right here,
bro. This seems... Aw!

675
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,359
Ooh, Painted lady. Yeah!

676
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,039
What else we got?

677
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,679
(LAUGHING) Yeah!

678
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,439
Crystal... obviously! Oh, (BLEEP)!

679
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,759
Look at this, guys.
That's bull crystal.
All right. It's killer.

680
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,879
Ah, green, yellow, reds, mate.
You see that?

681
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:52,199
Mate, that's a great...
Mate, this is going to cut
a $500 stone right here.

682
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,759
Plenty of stones to cut here, eh?

683
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,919
The Mooka boys have a mixed parcel
of rainbow matrix and seam opal

684
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,399
with flashes of blue,
green and purple.

685
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,439
It's in the rough
and weighs 270 grams.

686
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,799
How much do you reckon
we'll get for the whole lot?

687
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,319
(LAUGHING) Yeah!Let's go!

688
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,159
It's been a while since I've seen
some Andamooka crystal
out here for sale, eh?

689
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,799
That'll make it a good week.

690
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,239
We're real grateful
for Leif's knowledge of the claim

691
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,839
and, er, yeah, where he sent us.
That ended up paying off.

692
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,799
That's really good. It'll go
straight back into all the machinery

693
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,599
and give us another big crack at it
for the rest of the season.

694
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,079
The Noodler's running good.
We'll get some tyres on.

695
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,159
We'll keep running them piles,
and hopefully, we get a bit more.

696
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,679
(BOTH LAUGHING)Yeah, it's killer.

697
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,079
Now, big cheers, mate.Cheers!

698
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,919
(LAUGHS)Yeah!

699
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:59,959
ROD: (LAUGHS) It gets better, mate.

700
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,719
And then one another
last piece as well.

701
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,159
Oh, yeah. Look at it.Yeah.

702
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:07,759
So we've just been pulling that out
around the corner...

703
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,919
(LAUGHS) Good work, mate!

704
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,279
How good is that, Sam?
We found opal!

705
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,599
You're still on?Still on.
(CHUCKLES)

706
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,919
JAKE: Still got a little bit here
on the wall.Ooh!

707
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,119
Guess what, Rod? There's more.
Ooh!

708
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,359
There's more, all right.

709
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,399
Let's take a look, Sam,
what you've got here.

710
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,599
This is an amazing piece.
Ooh, that's a nice piece, innit?
Oh, yeah.

711
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,719
Good work, Bogga!
Ah, it's good stuff to see,
isn't it, mate?

712
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,039
Bloody oath, it is.
LES: Good work, kids!

713
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,239
What have we got here?
Have a look at this.

714
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,679
(EXCLAIMS) Look at it glow.

715
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:43,039
Oh! More coming, Bogga!
Keeps on coming.

716
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,959
JAKE: Couple of bits of pieces.

717
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,399
Nah. We're gonna do all right here.

718
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,719
Let's do this Jake boy.
In time, Les, they are.

719
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,879
They're here. Here we go.

720
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Well, howdy.
Some nice stones in there.

721
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,719
They come up a little bit better
than I thought they would, actually.
SAM: Mmm. Beautiful.

722
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,999
Yeah. The small ones
are the better ones.Yeah.

723
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,679
NARRATOR: The Bushmen have
grey-based seam opal,

724
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,599
blue green with vivid red
and yellow accents.

725
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,959
In the rough, it weighs 68 grams.

726
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,719
Well, Sam, show us what
you're learning. Put a price on it.

727
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,159
Well, I reckon we've got
some nice stones here.
Like you said,

728
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,999
the smaller stuff's
the better stuff.Yep.
These are still nice.

729
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,359
Bloody oath.I reckon...

730
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,399
Look, we have at least
three-and-a-half grand there.

731
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,319
That's exactly what I thought, Sam,
so all right.There we go.

732
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,999
LES: Better than a poke in the eye

733
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,079
JAKE: If we put in
some hard jabs down there,

734
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,839
we might come across
something decent.

735
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,199
I think we definitely will.
All of the information we got from
those guys is valuable in itself.

736
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:56,399
So, look at this.
Now, we got all that bloody ground
out there now.

737
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,039
We can dig back
to where Sam and Bogga
was finding that colour.Yeah.

738
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,279
Open to bringing in more new tech?

739
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,439
Maybe one other day.

740
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,759
We might bring the techs back
and see what they can do
on another field.

741
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,919
Anyway, here's to a plate of opal,

742
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,119
a map of the dog,

743
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,199
and a bloody good few days.
Yeah, bloody oath, mate.

744
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,039
All right, cheers!Cheers!

745
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,599
Moment of truth.
I think we've done pretty well.

746
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,599
I've got people screaming
on the website for the rough opal,

747
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,719
so we'll be selling this
as rough on the website.
Two grand there.

748
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,319
The nuts, you know, that people
can open for themselves,

749
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,639
it's about five grand, okay.
Which is pretty good.

750
00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:47,199
That's all there.
Oh, that's a crystal centre, Kel.

751
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,359
That's like six grand, I think so.

752
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,319
Yeah.Okay.That's a full
crystal centre, nearly full.

753
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:56,079
Yeah.These blues, that's, erm...
These are crystal centres.

754
00:41:56,160 --> 00:42:00,519
It's a deep blue. I mean,
it's not red, but that's the best
deep blue, midnight blue.

755
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,879
Stunning.So that's
$7,000 for a pair like that.

756
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,959
These are crystal centres
with pattern and red...

757
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,799
Yeah. That's my favourite.Yeah.

758
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,679
Look, there 15 grand
every single day.

759
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,759
Wow.I would not let them go
for a dollar under $15,000. No way.

760
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,559
That's actually
really reasonable on the field.
That's the price for those.Wow.

761
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,959
And then these came along.
Absolute unicorn.

762
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,919
(CHUCKLES)Yeah.

763
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,479
I still, like...
I feel like I'm dreaming
every time I look at them.

764
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,519
There's suspended
blue-greens in that one,
and blue-purples in that.

765
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,919
Perfect specimens,
and they're worth $25,000.

766
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:35,999
Wow. That's crazy.

767
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,399
NARRATOR: The Opal Whisperers
have various sizes of Yowah nuts
in the rough

768
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,879
and three crystal-centre specimens

769
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,839
featuring the full spectrum
of colours.

770
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,439
Their entire find
weighs to kilograms.

771
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,439
So, what's all that add up to?

772
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,999
I'll tell you that... so... seven...

773
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Yeah. What've you got?
What, exactly?

774
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,879
You mean $60,000?

775
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Like, round figure?

776
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,279
Oh, mate, I love it
when our plan works out.
Is this real life?

777
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,999
(LAUGHS)That's so good.

778
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,279
Opening up what we've found has been

779
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,879
just an incredible experience.
Yeah, really blessed.

780
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,759
60 grand, not bad
for the first week.

781
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,159
$300,000, here we come.(POPS)

782
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:25,399
(BOTH LAUGH)Sorry.

783
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,399
Here, you get that first.
Oh, I didn't bring any glasses.

784
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,039
Mouth first?Got for it.(CHUCKLES)

785
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,319
(SIGHS)Mmm.(LAUGHS)

786
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,839
You didn't backwash, did ya?
(CHUCKLES)
