ROD: This is the middle of the fields.

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,639
This is smack bang middle of the opal fields out at Grawin.

Oh!

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,359
You all right? Nah.

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,719
Jesus, darl, I think you need to prepare yourself for this.

7
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,439
Oh, look at this. Camp's gone over here.

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,919
It's gone. Oh, my God.

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,879
Is our place gonna be there? It doesn't look good.

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,799
Look at all the smoke.I know. You can see where the flames

11
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,119
and everything was. I think our place is gone, Rod.

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,199
Our... I think our place is gone.

13
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,559
I dunno. Look at all the smoke here.

14
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,639
It's... It's still coming through.

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,559
I mean...Oh, my God. Look at it all here, darl.

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,639
It's gone. It's all gone.

17
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,159
It's all right. Don't cry.

00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,599
NARRATOR: In the dying days of the opal season,

19
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,919
cataclysmic summer temperatures

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,879
have combined with high winds to brutal effect.

21
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,599
And Grawin, New South Wales, is burning.

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,879
Telegraph poles have burnt out. I know.

23
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,639
There's trees everywhere. Oh, my God.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,719
We'll soon find out, darl.

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,519
We're coming down the hill into our place and look at it.

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,799
It's just burnt everywhere. There's just nothing.My God.

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,519
You're all right. Come on. Yeah.It's all right.

28
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,959
Oh, look the camp's there. Oh, my God.The camp's there.

29
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,039
My God.

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,119
Oh, my God!

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,759
Can't believe it. You all right?

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,039
Yeah.Don't cry. It's OK. It's here.Yeah.

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,119
It's still here.

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,519
NARRATOR: Rod and Amanda Manning's camp

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,199
has escaped the inferno.

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,079
But 21,000 hectares of land which surround them

37
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,279
has been razed and uncontrollable fires still burn.

38
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,479
There's four of 'em.

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,599
Now been burning for about a week.

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,919
So many people have lost their camps.

41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,959
Uh, lost everything.

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,279
You can see it building already. It's just getting blacker.

43
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,719
You know, that's one hell of a fire and it's coming this way.

44
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,679
But it can't hit us. Our camp is safe,

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,759
cos everything around us is burnt.

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,359
OK.So... It just looks so bad.Yeah.

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,119
If the smoke gets really thick here while I'm gone,

48
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,199
just ring me and I'll come back. OK.

49
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,279
But you can't get burnt, OK? OK.

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,799
The thing is out here, this is what we do.

51
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,639
You just have to deal with whatever gets chucked at ya, yeah.

52
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239
And once again we've just had everything against us this year.

53
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,599
You know, we're... we're nowhere near target, really.

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,239
And this was supposed to be the big year for Les's retirement.

55
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,999
And I was half expecting all this gear

56
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,079
not to be here, as well.

57
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,679
It's all still here, Les. Yes, it is,

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,319
and nothing burnt yet, mate. Hope it never happens.

59
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,999
We'll just have to keep a real good eye on things, mate.Yeah.

60
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,679
There's not much time left to, uh...

61
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,959
to our target and we're not gonna make that, I don't think.

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,639
Unless something happens in the next few days.

63
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,719
We'll get underground. But if you smell smoke...Yep.

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,519
..we'll get straight out. What do you reckon? Good plan?

65
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,959
That sounds like a good plan. Righto.

66
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,079
NARRATOR: Five kilometres away,

67
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,519
the Bushmen's second claim, Dead Dog,

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,879
has so far been spared from the worst of the fires.

69
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,359
Mine partners Sam Mehan and Ben Moses

70
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,879
could have just days or hours

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,239
to find an opal haul.

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,479
You know we've got to keep pushing. We do.

73
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,159
It's getting really close to the end of the season and...

74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,079
Oh, that's right. A lot of people have already pulled up stumps

75
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,519
for the year. You know, temperatures are high 40s every day now.

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,599
And then there's rain.

77
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,919
Now that we're going through the bushfires, there is a lot of rain

78
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,999
coming out this way. Uh, we might get cut off. I'm not sure.

79
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,359
The amount of rain they're talking of coming,

80
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,639
we won't be working in that muck. We'll be swimming in it.

81
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,519
JOHN: Righto, you ready, Paul?

82
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,599
Roger.

83
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,679
She's on.

84
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,759
Nah, off, off, off!

85
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,039
She's off.

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,439
That whole reducer box wasn't even spinning.

87
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,439
Yeah, so this is our reducer box here.

88
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,759
It's like a gear box. It's got a lot of torque

89
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,839
to pull the drum around.

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,279
There's a bit of dirt left in there so... it's not good.

91
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,159
If worse comes to worse we'll just have to, um, stop, I guess.

92
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,599
NARRATOR: In Coober Pedy,

93
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,639
the Blacklighters, Paul Coon and John Nassar,

94
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,719
must keep the operation running

95
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,199
in the final days of their mining season

96
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:31,639
after team leader Mark I'Anson was flown to hospital in Adelaide.

97
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,719
RACHEL: Mark got hit in the side of the face

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,799
with the bucket from the excavator.

99
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,359
So he may have fractured a few bones in his face.

100
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,079
Yeah, it was a bit of stupid day, that one, you know?

101
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,999
A few things going wrong over in the cut there and...

102
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,039
Well, they better get our target. Mark got himself injured,

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,759
but he wanted us to stay up here and keeping working, so...

104
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,159
Yeah, we'll just have to see how things pan out

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,239
and just try to push to the end.

106
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,199
So we need to get this dirt out of the... the gear box.

107
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,439
Oh, deary.

108
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,799
All right. We're gonna try.

109
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,879
Is it gonna do anything or isn't it?

110
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,959
I've got my doubts.

111
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,319
Righto, Paul, are you all clear? Righto, fire up.

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,319
Running like a dream!

113
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,399
All right.

114
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,079
You beauty!

115
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,679
NARRATOR: Opalzilla is the Blacklighters' noodling machine.

116
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,679
It's fed dirt from old timers' waste dumps

117
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,759
which passes through a trommel

118
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,039
that shakes the dust off opal-bearing rock,

119
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,359
allowing ultra-violet lights to hit the opal's surface...

120
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,079
Oh, here we go. ..causing it to fluoresce.

121
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,559
We just started it up so we'll see how we go,

122
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,559
but you never know. Could have some colour in there.

123
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Hey, as long as it can get us through, you know,

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,079
one more week we're laughing.

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,799
Yeah, well, the boom up the top there, the main ram,

126
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,079
squirting out hydraulic oil and, you know,

127
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,159
starting to get a little bit worse.

128
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,799
Instead of a drip it's a bit more of a stream.

129
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,799
NARRATOR: 200 metres south-east of Opalzilla at Servo claim,

130
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,839
Paul is nursing their 20-tonne excavator,

131
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,439
vital for extracting paydirt from an opal-rich wall

132
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,519
nine metres down.

133
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,039
It's been a long season, this one.

134
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,439
You know, everything's feeling the punch,

135
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,599
but if that ram goes I'm...

136
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,279
You know, that's-that's me done this year.

137
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,719
And, you know, every drum we're putting in here, you know,

138
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,839
is a hundred bucks.

139
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,399
Along with the  price of fuel at the moment.

140
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,919
Just pouring money out there.

141
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,679
It's absolute ridiculous, eh.

142
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,599
We're spotting for Angel.

143
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,439
You know, every time she sticks those rippers in,

144
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,359
we're gonna go through and check to make sure there's no opal

145
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,439
laying on the ground.

146
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,599
Time's ticking and-and we really don't have that long till we can...

147
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,679
we can no longer run the heavy gear.

148
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,479
So want to be able get to the level and get some reward

149
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,759
and hopefully find some beautiful opal

150
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,839
before the season's out.

151
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,039
I'm surprised to see Joe here.

152
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,879
G'day, Joe. What brings you out here?

153
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,279
I got a call from a buyer

154
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,479
who wants 80 kilos of test treated rainbow matrix.

155
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,159
So I want yous to cancel here, shut everything down,

156
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,239
get to German Gully,

157
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,599
and get this stuff ready to go before that bloke leaves Saturday.

158
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,119
I'm sure these guys will be able to go to German Gully

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,959
and get what's needed. Cos I keep getting pulled off this cut

160
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,399
and I just want to finish it before the season ends.

161
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,319
Yeah, but, you know, you need three of yous there, you know?

162
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,039
Yeah, one less set of hands, it's gonna be harder,

163
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,839
but, like, if she gets the level and we get the 80 kilos,

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,919
then we're winning. Laughing.

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,359
Well, you're in charge. You work it out.

166
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,799
But don't go bleeding to me if you've got no money for food.

167
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,999
So if it goes wrong. It's on me.

168
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,079
I'll catch yous later, eh. Yeah.

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,319
NARRATOR: The end of the Andamooka mining season

170
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,399
is just days away.

171
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,999
As unworkable summer temperatures approach,

172
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,039
team leader Angel Dempsey has defied orders

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,439
from mentor Opal Joe Kalmar

174
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,999
by continuing to work a 200-metre-long open cut mine...

175
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,799
I mean, I've made this decision. Now I've got to, you know,

176
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,199
stick it through and hopefully find something in this mess.

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,879
NARRATOR: ..while sending Cody and Issy five kilometres away

178
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,319
to German Gully to hunt for matrix opal.

179
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,519
At the moment I'm just spotting

180
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,479
for any rainbow matrix here

181
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,639
while Cody's going through the mound.

182
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,599
I need to have a successful season

183
00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:11,799
purely because I want to become, you know,

184
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,959
a fully independent opal miner.

185
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,439
I also want to buy my own Andamooka mansion.

186
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,319
The old humpy, she's pretty small. You know, it's an all right

187
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,199
camping spot, but for now, you know, I'm here full-time.

188
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,279
So I've got a lot to achieve

189
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,959
and I'm only gonna achieve that if I find opal.

190
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,239
CODY : How you going out there, Issy?

191
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,039
Is much showing up? There's plenty of concrete out here,

192
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,199
but it's old, Cody. It's very brittle.

193
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,719
You know, rainbow matrix is quite heavy when it's good material.

194
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,279
And all of this at the moment is nothing.

195
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,919
If I don't go home with money that, you know, people are relying on,

196
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,719
especially in my gym, I can't replace equipment,

197
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,719
I can't send fighters away to fights.

198
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,999
No-one wants to go home and say they failed.

199
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,679
You just can't bring up a family with no income.

200
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,439
So if something doesn't come in these last parts of the season,

201
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,759
then we're gonna have to reassess and have a good think about

202
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,319
what the right path is for us next year.

203
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,399
I might just go for a quick wander.

204
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,679
If I think it's got potential we'll take the bobcat over there

205
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,439
and, um, hopefully we don't have to call Angel, eh.

206
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,559
Oh, I hope not, or Joe for that matter.

207
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,439
We've got to look somewhere else. You know, this is all dead material.

208
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,519
So, you know...Ah! ..we're pushing...

209
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,039
What the hell was that?!

210
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,119
Oh, shit.

211
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,399
ROD: Ah, Les, way you go, mate.

212
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,599
Sooner we get down there, the sooner we can find our fortune.

213
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:48,679
We haven't got a lot of time left.

214
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,759
NARRATOR: In Grawin, just days from season end,

215
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,399
the Bushmen are desperate to hit opal

216
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,999
as deadly bushfires rage above

217
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,119
and forecasted flooding threatens.

218
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,999
At least the flooding rain would put the bushfires out.

219
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,439
It does, yeah. It's just unbelievable.

220
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,679
Can't throw anything else at us.

221
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,039
BEN: Got to be an easier way to make money than this sometimes, Sam, eh?

222
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,639
It'd be nice to be paid to go to work, wouldn't it?

223
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,679
It's fighting us at the moment. It'd be nice to make a pay cheque

224
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,079
instead of just filling the diesel tank up.

225
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,159
NARRATOR: At their second mine, Dead Dog,

226
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,559
Sam and Ben are also battling to find colour.

227
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,399
SAM: Basically you've got some nice red dirt running through here.

228
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,199
And we like that, because when this red dirt comes in,

229
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,799
that seems to be where we're finding the colour.

230
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,879
So it looks good.

231
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,519
I really want to reach the season target.

232
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,079
And I've just jumped on new with the Bushmen,

233
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,799
so I want to be able to prove myself.

234
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,319
We just keep ticking away here with the little hoist.

235
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,799
We move the dirt and find bits and pieces here and there so far.

236
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,199
We just haven't hit that big pocket that can give us all a kickstart

237
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,279
and get us through summer.

238
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,119
ROD: Whoa!

239
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,319
Where's all the opal, Les?

240
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,239
It's got to be there somewhere. You would think so, wouldn't ya?

241
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,799
We've got a little bit of a fault developing here.

242
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,879
So we're just hoping for opal.

243
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,919
I mean, it's... we've opened it up fairly well now

244
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,159
and we haven't found anything.

245
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,279
Righto, we'll clean that up and go again.

246
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,519
Oh, dear.

247
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,599
Getting too old to do this .

248
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,199
Starting to wear out.

249
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,759
Underground it's just getting too hard.

250
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,239
She's blocked! And no big rock went up there!

251
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,639
Got to watch them big ones.

252
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,719
Well, no big ones went up there!

253
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,359
Watch your hands! Wait until the blower let's go

254
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,479
or you'll end up with three fingers instead of four.

255
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:09,599
Oh, dear.

256
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,679
Oh!

257
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,399
You all right, mate? Oh, yeah, sorta.

258
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,479
What's the matter?

259
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,919
Oh, I just run out of puff.

260
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,599
Not good. Honestly, mate, you know we...

261
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,199
we have sort of spoke about it before.Yeah.

262
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,559
You know, I think...

263
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,839
I think it's getting time for us to have that conversation, mate.

264
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,279
You know, I have noticed you struggling under here

265
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,719
a fair bit lately. Yeah, it's a bit hard on the shovel

266
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,999
and the pelican pick and, you know...

267
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,559
Just little things like that, mate. You know, and I...

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,919
I know I've kept you under here year after year.

269
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,119
So we've got to get the money to retire.

270
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,959
Yeah, but then again you look at it, money's not everything.

271
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,199
Mate, I-I don't want to see you busting yourself under here anymore.

272
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,759
Yeah. I think it's time that we...

273
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,719
we face the reality of it and... Yeah.

274
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,239
..put you out to stud. Bloody oath.

275
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,119
Yeah.

276
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,959
PAUL: Personally I've had enough this year, eh. I could...

277
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,879
could just pack it in now and, you know, go home,

278
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,079
but we need some money to... to be able to keep going.

279
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,919
NARRATOR: The Blacklighters, Paul and John,

280
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,559
have just days to make their season a success

281
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,199
as team leader Mark recovers from a fractured cheek.

282
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,759
JOHN: End of the year there's always pressure on you.

283
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,159
So, I mean, the heat's coming, the flies are here.

284
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,119
Machines are just limping through so, yeah, it's gonna be hell,

285
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,479
but the good news is Mark's OK so that's...

286
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,759
You know, it could have been a lot worse.

287
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,119
It was a pretty good week in here last week.

288
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,319
You know, I'd be surprised if it all just disappeared.

289
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,519
Oh, yeah!

290
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,879
We got opal.

291
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,959
It is a chunk.

292
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,439
Oo-oo-ooh. It doesn't get much better than that.

293
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,639
Like, that's some beautiful crystal

294
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,759
with a bit of jelly on the bottom there.

295
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,159
That is good. I'm excited!

296
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,239
Yoo-hoo!

297
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,319
And there's heaps of it.

298
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,079
And the tide's up today!

299
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,159
The fish are biting!

300
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,439
It keeps coming.

301
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,959
There's just bits everywhere in here

302
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,639
and it's just taking me so long to go through it.

303
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,879
Running out of time out here,

304
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,079
so we'll get us much as this dirt processed as we can

305
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,199
and, you know, hopefully we can get some money out of it.

306
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,079
NARRATOR: Paul will drive the paydirt

307
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,959
200 metres to Opalzilla for processing,

308
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,399
ensuring no opal is missed.

309
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,439
Uh-oh.

310
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,959
Ah, far out!

311
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,039
What the hell's going on?

312
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,199
She's on the ignition, but off.

313
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,639
Oh, it's, um...

314
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,719
alarm's come on for, uh, overheating, temp warning.

315
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:33,159
JOHN : Are you there, Paul? Yo, what's up?

316
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,159
The, um, genny just cut out. Overheat warning.

317
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,399
Oh, Jesus. That's no good, man. You need the genny.

318
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,719
I know we need the genny, but, goddamn, it's bloody hot.

319
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,279
Roger that. I'll come over there in about,

320
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:49,479
I dunno, half an hour. Righty-oh, mate. I'll see you then.

321
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,559
Well, that doesn't sound very good.

322
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,759
You know tools down for John at the moment.

323
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,439
We can't run Opalzilla without the generator.

324
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,679
It's a pain, that is, big time.

325
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,359
CODY: Hey, just stay back, man. Oh.

326
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,359
What the hell, Cody?! Oh, , mate. Ooh!

327
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,799
Ooh, . Give us your hand. That was close.

328
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,279
Holy . God, mate!

329
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,279
You've got to be so careful out here!Ah, man!

330
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:20,279
It's just all collapsed on me. Wow. Be a bit more mindful, mate.

331
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,359
That was close.

332
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,759
Wow.

333
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,479
NARRATOR: Desperate to find matrix opal for a buyer before season end,

334
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,599
Cody has wandered too close

335
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,039
to a ten-metre-deep mine shaft.

336
00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:38,799
I was one step away from literally just falling

337
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,879
30 feet straight down.

338
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,519
That's the closest I've ever come to going down a shaft.

339
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,599
Got to be safer ground for us, mate.

340
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,759
NARRATOR: At Lunatic claim,

341
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,839
in defiance of Joe's orders,

342
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,599
team leader Angel continues to dig the open cut mine,

343
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,679
but with little success.

344
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,199
ANGEL: Like, I really want to finish this cut

345
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,159
purely because, you know, it's the biggest cut in Andamooka.

346
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,119
200 metres long. I've got a good feeling about this spot.

347
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,159
I want, you know, the crystal opal from this ground, you know?

348
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,879
Lunatic is known for it.

349
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,239
Hopefully the opal gods are on my side

350
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,999
and, you know, there's something there otherwise, hey,

351
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,079
I made the wrong decision.

352
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,199
Now where was that?

353
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,279
Oh!

354
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:35,359
I've just ripped up matrix!

355
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,439
Look at that blue, purple.

356
00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,719
NARRATOR: Rainbow matrix, also referred to as concrete,

357
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,399
is a limestone rock embedded with hidden opal.

358
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,199
A sugar and acid treatment blackens the host rock

359
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,919
and the colour is revealed, increasing its value.

360
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,919
I'm feeling much better about my decision now.

361
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,359
That's awesome. So we just collect everything.

362
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,039
Got a bit of a pile happening there. That's probably a kilo there.

363
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,599
Can't wait to show the other guys

364
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,759
and they're gonna, you know, be so happy. So good. Ah!

365
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,919
Hey, guys, can you hear me?

366
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,519
CODY: Is that Angel? What's she doing here?

367
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,199
ISSY: Got no idea.

368
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,279
Check this out.

369
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,439
I ripped it out with Betsy. Oh, that's solid!

370
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,759
You've just ripped this up at Lunatic!Yeah, yeah. I know.

371
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,759
What, so you reckon we... you're confident if we head out?

372
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,959
It's only the surface, so once I get deeper with old Betsy,

373
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,639
should rip up more and just having you guys on the floor

374
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,239
being spotters. If you're confident, hey...Yeah.

375
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,559
..we'll just go now. Let's go and do it.

376
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,479
Just gonna try and stay in that zone.

377
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,159
Hey, Angel! Pull up! Pull up! You got something?Hey!

378
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,039
Ooh! What have you got? And I can see colour in this.

379
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:03,759
Really? Check those slabs out!

380
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,079
That's chunky, isn't it? Hell, yeah.That's awesome.Yoo!

381
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,599
I mean, just the blue. There's green and also we know that's got colour.

382
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,399
Just look at it.Ha-hah! Each one of these is at least

383
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,279
a couple of kilos, surely. All right, I guess we check

384
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:19,279
all these rippers all the way up to the dozer now.Definitely.

385
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:21,839
Yee-hoo!

386
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,319
I was starting to think, you know, the ground was playing tricks on me.

387
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,399
Yoo! Another one!

388
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,319
Hey, guys! Another one! Another one!Yes!

389
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,839
We're getting there. Well, you must have hit

390
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,199
that top of the level, Angel. Awesome! Keep 'em coming, bros.

391
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,359
I can't get over the size of these pieces.

392
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,159
These kilos are adding up pretty quick.They are.

393
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,839
Oh, guys! What?What have you got?

394
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,159
Crystal opal!Oh, my God, I can see that from here.Crystal opal!

395
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,959
Oh, my!

396
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,959
You just pulled this up out of here? Out of this ripper mark.

397
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,519
Just here.Oh, my God. Holy dooley!

398
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,959
That looks like some serious money, that one.

399
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,279
I've never seen anything like it. Let's keep looking.

400
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:05,399
So I found it here so it could well be back here.

401
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,799
Now we're treasure hunting, ladies.

402
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,199
Exactly.

403
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,599
Oh! Look at this! Look at this!

404
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,999
Oh, another one! Yes! Yoo!

405
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,119
This close to the end of the season. Yep.

406
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,759
We've got, you know, our 80 kilos of matrix.

407
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,839
It doesn't get better.

408
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,639
PAUL: Yeah, well, you would be a bit worried, you know, but geez...

409
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,799
it's a new genny. It's... You know, we shouldn't be having problems

410
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,039
like this, so, hey, you never know.

411
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,679
What's going on here? Getting warm.

412
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,759
Yeah, so I just let it cool down a bit.

413
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,839
And then get it going again hopefully, so...

414
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,039
Yeah, I'll bring these few loads over and hopefully you get something

415
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,639
out of it cos , man, there's been shells and that

416
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,359
just popping up everywhere today. All right. I'll just see

417
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,639
if she goes. Get into it. All right, sweet. See you in a bit.

418
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,719
Come on, ya .

419
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,719
You know, it shouldn't be overheating, but, you know,

420
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,879
it is pretty warm out here. You know, if we cook that thing,

421
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,959
it's rooted.

422
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,679
NARRATOR: Temperatures are approaching 40 degrees Celsius,

423
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,479
shutting down the Blacklighters generator powering Opalzilla.

424
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,159
Without it, the team's season is over.

425
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,919
I think it's time to try kick her in the guts, I think,

426
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,079
and see what the hell happens.

427
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,719
Ah, you beauty!

428
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,239
We're on.

429
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,359
Yeah, , the belt's turning.

430
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,079
Everything's spinning and rolling as it should be,

431
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,679
so we should be all right. We'll see how we go.

432
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,159
Sort of bitter sweet in a way. You'd like to keep going, but, yeah,

433
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,439
just how things are with it heating up.

434
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,719
It's pretty well the end of the line once this dirt runs out,

435
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,919
so, um, whatever we've got we got.

436
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,759
So hopefully that's enough to get us over the line.

437
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,279
I mean, you never know until it's all washed.

438
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,519
It's a bit of a shit week, but, you know, in the end

439
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,759
we sort of had to push through and, you know,

440
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,839
managed to make something out of it.

441
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,239
So turned a  week into

442
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,359
a bit better of a  week.

443
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,719
Yeah, so this has, um, thinned out a lot on the belt now,

444
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,919
so I know the hopper's pretty well empty,

445
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,399
so I'll just, um, run her a little bit longer

446
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,279
just to make sure there's nothing left in there cos, you know,

447
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,479
we won't be back for a few months now, so...

448
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,879
For me, I'm happy with that, so that's enough for the hopper.

449
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,479
And that's the year done so, um...

450
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,559
turn the tumble off now.

451
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,639
And...

452
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,039
pretty well that's all she wrote so, um...

453
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:48,399
Buckets. Yeah, doesn't look too bad.

454
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,799
I'm quite happy to get the hell out of here.

455
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,919
Another year out the way. Yeah, well, that's it.

456
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,599
We'll go see... see what Mark's got to say

457
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,439
and show him what we've found and sell some opal.

458
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,759
LES: Yeah, doing opal mining for about 20-odd years.

459
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,199
And never, ever struck it rich.

460
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,799
But it's just getting too much for me.

461
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,399
Hey, Les!

462
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,399
Come up. There's a message from Sam. They need us over there.

463
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,479
So come up!

464
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,519
NARRATOR: Bushfires and the threat of floods

465
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,599
are heralding the final days

466
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,679
of the Bushmen's opal season,

467
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,599
and their final chance to unearth a life-changing haul.

468
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,999
I need money for Les, but I also need money for myself, you know?

469
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,959
We're all in the same boat. It's just Les is a bit older than me

470
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,479
so we've got to look after him first.

471
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,559
Hey, hey. What's happening, kids?! BEN: Hey, how are you, mate?

472
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,959
SAM: Hey, Rod.I'll be a lot better if you fellas are on some colour.

473
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Yeah, mate. Sort of one. That's just a little bit of trace

474
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,959
coming in up the top now, but...

475
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,239
Bloody sight better than what we're on.

476
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,759
LES: Come on, boys! Hey, Les, how are you, mate?Les!

477
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,439
Good.Welcome down. You find anything?

478
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,519
Yeah, we're getting there.

479
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,559
Well, we're doing absolutely no good at all over there.Right.

480
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,639
..we might give you a hand. Yeah.

481
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,359
We'll see who finds colour first.

482
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,439
OK, you ready?

483
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,239
Yeah, well, it's a bit of a push going on

484
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,719
to see if we can find a... a bit of opal.

485
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,919
Forecast is, uh, a 100 mil, plus rain event.

486
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,519
There's a strong possibility that these mines could flood

487
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,879
because these are on the downhill side of this little field.

488
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,719
So, you know, it's a real race to try and, uh,

489
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,319
get some colour out before the floods hit us,

490
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,559
the fires hit us or it gets too hot to work.

491
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,879
This seam's got to do something.

492
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,959
Come on, you...

493
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,519
See if there's anything in that. I thought I saw a glint.

494
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,119
Yeah, there's a little bit in that one. Bit of green.

495
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,759
It's not a bad little bar in it. I can see that from here.

496
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,839
Tickle me grandmother!

497
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,279
We're beating Mother Nature here, Les.Whoo!

498
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,599
About time we did. Sending fires and floods

499
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,599
and we're still getting colour! Oh, that's a nice one, Les.

500
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,119
They're nice bars in those, Rod. We're on!

501
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,799
I think we give him the wrong spot, Sam.Yeah.No.

502
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,879
It's just skill.

503
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,479
Ready.

504
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,119
Oh.Golly.Please. Look at that!Check that out, Ben.

505
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,319
That's a big stone, Sam.

506
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,039
What, have yous got something? Yeah.Check this out, Rod!

507
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,599
What sort of a bar's it got? Oh-hoh!A nice big one.

508
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,039
Look at the size of that! Yeah.

509
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:41,159
Look at that. Oh, bloody good colour in that.

510
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,239
It's not a bad size stone. Hey.

511
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,159
Goes all the way round, too, Ben. Well done, Sam!Sure does.

512
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,039
Well done. Oh, well, we'll keep going, Sam...

513
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,919
Digging. ..and see if we can get some more.

514
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,999
Ooh. What was that?

515
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,159
I think you found another big piece.

516
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,559
Oh, yeah. There's another bit.

517
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,079
Bloody good colour. She's turning on.

518
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,799
Oh, that's goldy, goldy red, that, mate.Hey!

519
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,639
Rod, you might want to check this stuff out.Hey?

520
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,719
We're back on here. You're back on!

521
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,799
Oh, yeah.Back on! Check that out.

522
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,879
Bars in that. Ooh! Look at red.

523
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,159
Ooh, that's some nice stuff there, Benny.That's nice crystal in that.

524
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,559
I tell you, we're starting to get a few dollars now.

525
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,239
That's really good colour. Really good stone, this one.

526
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,319
Proper gem.

527
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,599
Ooh! Yeah, she's started, fellas.

528
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,919
We got rain up there, mate? Yeah, there's water.

529
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,999
Water's starting to come down.

530
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,199
It's them stormy-looking clouds, too.

531
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,119
What do we do? Might be time to call it

532
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,279
before it gets too late, mate.

533
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,599
Grab all this opal and let's get out of here.Righto, mate.Righto.Oh!

534
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,079
You know, we're on opal. You don't like to leave it behind,

535
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,439
but you've got to draw the line somewhere.

536
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,559
And it's probably the last day,

537
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,439
so we won't be coming down here anymore this year.

538
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,679
Oh!

539
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,039
That was in the middle of a field!

540
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,439
ANGEL: So what I'll do, I'll lay some rocks out in the trays

541
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,639
and then I'll do my sugar and water mix.

542
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,279
NARRATOR: A heatwave has been forecast across Andamooka

543
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,319
and the Misfits have called time on their season.

544
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,759
They now must work through the night

545
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,559
to cook 80 kilograms of matrix opal for a buyer.

546
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,959
The oven heats up the rocks so they expand,

547
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,599
allowing the rocks', you know, pores to open up.

548
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,439
And that allows the sugar to penetrate into the stones

549
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,879
to allow the chemical reaction to the acid,

550
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,079
which will turn the host rock black.

551
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,799
If yous come around first thing in the morning...Sure.

552
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,839
..to make we'll do a final weigh up.

553
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,119
I think we're actually gonna get there!

554
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,399
I think so. Fingers crossed.Yeah.

555
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,279
JOE: That's the matrix, eh. CODY: This is it.

556
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,439
Yeah, it looks good. 80 kilos, yeah?

557
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,319
Yeah, yep, 80 kilos. Oh, wow.

558
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,799
Good stuff. I mean, like, you can imagine the stuff

559
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,239
you're gonna cut out it, right? Oh.Absolutely beautiful.

560
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,239
Nice surprise, as well, Joe, in amongst this matrix.

561
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,959
So what did you find? Check this out.

562
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,599
Oh! Um...

563
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,119
ISSY: Just a little bonus, Joe.

564
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,799
You know it's top grade, you know, world-class opal

565
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,879
when you don't even have to lick it, eh.

566
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,519
NARRATOR: The Misfits have two stones of crystal opal

567
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,919
featuring the full spectrum of colours.

568
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,999
It's in the rough and weighs 50 grams.

569
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,119
They also have a parcel of rainbow matrix.

570
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,359
It features the full colour spectrum,

571
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,439
weighing 80 kilograms.

572
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,759
How much do you think that would be worth?

573
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,079
JOE: Oh, probably 50. Wow!

574
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,159
For the two stones? Yeah. But...

575
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,199
you know that chap that wants to swap a house for opal?

576
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,279
Mm. He'd do a deal.

577
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,279
He'd do a deal on this.What, with those stones?Oh, yeah, yeah.

578
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,039
For my Andamooka mansion. He-he doesn't want money.

579
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,119
He wants opals. All right.

580
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,359
I mean, I knows yous are shares in it, right,

581
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,439
but at the end of the day, I mean,

582
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,639
it's just advancing against future monies coming, you know?Mm.

583
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,919
Go get your mansion. Yeah. Go get your house.

584
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,999
Go get your castle. Yoo!Cool.

585
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,199
Perfect.Well done.All right. Congratulations, mate.

586
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,719
JOHN: Ah, it's sort of good to be back.

587
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,479
That's it, eh. Go see Marky-Mark, Captain Mud Pants

588
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,839
and, um, show him the goods so hopefully that'll cheer him up.

589
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,279
NARRATOR: Paul and John have travelled 850 kilometres to Adelaide

590
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,359
to visit injured Mark

591
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,839
where they'll negotiate a final opal sale for the season.

592
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,799
Oi, the riff raff's back in town. RACHEL: Yay!

593
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,239
Ya-aye! Yeah, boof head.

594
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,119
MARK: Good to see you, man. I'm back. We're back.

595
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,399
Good to see you, man. Good to see you, man.Bloody legend.Yes.

596
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,919
Good to see.How you travelling, man?Missed you guys.

597
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,199
You look like you're getting around all right.

598
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,759
Doing all right, man.Nice. It's good to see you, man.

599
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,919
You're looking good, man, eh. Good. Yeah.

600
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,039
Yeah, man, honestly bloody good to see Mark again, you know?

601
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,839
I'm just glad he's doing all right. How were the flies?Shit.

602
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,319
Looks like he's doing heaps better, so, yeah,

603
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,679
we're all pretty happy about that. Yeah, awesome to see the boys.

604
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,759
Absolutely stoked, um...

605
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,959
Yeah, missed 'em, actually. Really have.

606
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,079
It's been a tough couple of weeks, so, yeah, really missed 'em.

607
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,239
We got some goodies. Still needs to be a bit sorted, but...

608
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,439
Beautiful. Yeah.

609
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,919
That's a whole shell there.

610
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,719
Wet that up!Oh, man, look at that! Yeah.Man.

611
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,959
Complete whole shell.

612
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,359
There's heaps. Yeah, that's beautiful red, man.

613
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,399
Look at that. That's sick, man.

614
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,479
Oh, yous have done well, man.

615
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,999
There's a bucket full.

616
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,599
NARRATOR: Alongside 2.5 kilograms

617
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,799
of classic white Coober Pedy seam opal,

618
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,879
the Blacklighters have also found 50 grams

619
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,359
of rare opalised shell fossils,

620
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,639
ready for sale to buyer Sinan Kocadag.

621
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,799
I'm really proud of the boys.

622
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,879
They've pulled out all the stops.

623
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,319
They've gone on with it while we weren't there

624
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,759
and they've come up with the goods, essentially.

625
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,919
So, yeah, way to go, boys.

626
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,119
MARK: Man, I've looked hard at it and I think if we get 40 grand

627
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,199
I think that's fair, you know? I reckon.

628
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,359
But no way can we let it go under 40.

629
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,039
Mm, he's here.

630
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,119
I'm Sinan. I'm a opal buyer.

631
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,799
So I go and sell opal, um, around the world.

632
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,879
Coober Pedy's got probably some of the best opal on the planet.

633
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,639
Hey, Sinan!Paul!How are you, bud? How you going, mate?

634
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,399
Good to see you.Sinani! Hey, Johnny!

635
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,679
How you going, big fella? Good to see you, mate.

636
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,479
How are you?Good, man. Yourself? How you going, mate?Mark.

637
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,279
How we doing?Gentle, gentle. How you going?Good.Hi, Rach.

638
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,639
Hey, Sinan.Good to see you. How you doing, Mark?

639
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,839
Yeah, all right. You're all right?Yeah.

640
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,399
I heard about the...Yeah. ..injury. How you feeling?

641
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,319
I had a little mishap. But I'm feeling good now.You all right?

642
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319
Yeah. Good to actually be back and have a bit of a break.Yeah.

643
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,399
How's the season? Did all right or?

644
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,439
Honestly, it depends how today goes, mate, eh. Ha-hah!

645
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,239
Yeah.Straight into, Paul. Bloody oath.Straight into it.

646
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,999
No mucking around here.Yeah. Oh, well, look, you can tell

647
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,439
we're on a sea bed. Have a look at this.Oh, wow,

648
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,839
look how preserved that is.Yeah. We're finding fossil after fossil

649
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,759
and then...every now and then we get a bit of seam.

650
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,959
When you look at the international market...Yeah...these are in.

651
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,439
People are after quality, um... Quality fossils.

652
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,519
Fossils, uh, are key.

653
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,959
Johnny's found a few nice parcels.

654
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,959
So you've got a fair bit there... Yeah...boys.

655
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,039
Excellent.

656
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,639
All right, give me a ball park of what you want.

657
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:55,959
There's a bit there, eh. Paul, what do you...

658
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,239
I reckon, man, we've got to come in about 55, I reckon.

659
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,999
55.Yeah. That's everything, man.

660
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,199
Quantities. Cut this, man, you're gonna triple your money.

661
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,879
More. Do your math, mate. I'm doing my math.

662
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,119
You're doing it a bit slow. What, are you're struggling to see

663
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,079
there's plenty here, mate?Oh. Do you want to change the number?

664
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,039
32 I can do, Paul. 32. I think that's...Nah.

665
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,559
We'll get way more elsewhere, mate.

666
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,079
Yeah.Way more. Um, it's not 55.

667
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,239
So you've gotta - We'll knock ten off, then.

668
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,679
Go 45 and it's yours. You've got to be -That's it.

669
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,919
Rock bottom. Done.

670
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,239
We've had a tough year. A tough year, mate.

671
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,359
I'm-I'm bringing my margin

672
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,599
to as minimum as I can be.

673
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,999
All right. I'll give you 40 grand. Right.

674
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,479
So, consider it. Well, honestly it's a lot of blood,

675
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,639
sweat and tears there.I realise. Can we meet in the middle?

676
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:50,359
Um...

677
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,799
Sold. 40,250, it's yours.

678
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,279
$40,250. Yep.

679
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,639
Done, Paul. Deal. Good work.Well done.

680
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,559
Good on you.I don't know what went through Paul's mind,

681
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,959
but he's flipped his lid and, um,

682
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,999
yeah, I reckon he cost us a couple of grand, at least.

683
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,519
Amazing.Who cares? We're still 250 up.

684
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,679
Bit of a tongue twister, that one, eh. 40,000.

685
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,759
You know, trying to add the extra 2,250 after that, it's...

686
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,519
You know, my mind was thinking it, but me  mouth

687
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,639
just couldn't say it.Mark. You know, you can't renege

688
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,879
on a handshake, so, hey, we lost a couple of grand.

689
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,959
Thank you, Rachel.

690
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,039
RACHEL: Paul, unfortunately he lost us two grand in the deal there.

691
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,919
I think from now on we might just sit him in the corner.

692
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,799
Rach. Wow! But it feels brilliant to beat the target.

693
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,879
It's a sense of achievement.

694
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,719
Real big sense of achievement. And yeah very, very, very happy.

695
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,039
Yeah, look out next year.Yeah. That's all I've got to say.

696
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,359
Cheers to everyone for the year, eh. Cheers, man!

697
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,159
Bloody good effort.Well done, guys! Yay!Good year, guys.

698
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,999
Awesome effort, man.Well done. Bloody Blacklighters!

699
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,079
Go, the Blacks.

700
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,679
JOE: Luke's here.

701
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,759
G'day, Luke. Nice day.

702
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,159
Yeah, not too bad. G'day, Angel.G'day.Hey.

703
00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:12,279
NARRATOR: On their final chance to hit target for the season,

704
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,799
the Misfits are meeting with Luke Jarrad,

705
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,199
an opal dealer negotiating for a Chinese buyer

706
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,239
who needs a bulk supply of rainbow matrix.

707
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,799
I'll be, um, buying for the Chinese.

708
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,159
They'll be using it for jewellery, maybe some kind of carvings.

709
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:30,879
So we've got this material here. All up it's 80 kilos.

710
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,319
Have a bit of a look if you want. Tell me what you think.

711
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,559
Looks good, man. Looks good, eh.

712
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,999
What do you think?

713
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,999
How much are we chasing?

714
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,999
With the hope that next time you want to do business...

715
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,759
Gonna buy more...we're your first port of call.Yeah.

716
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,839
Four would be better, man.

717
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,159
I mean, because it's the first transaction, you know,

718
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,079
we'll let it go for four dollars a gram.

719
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,559
Four dollars a gram.OK. Hey.Awesome.

720
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,599
Cheers, mate.All right, so that works out 80 kilos, 320,000.OK.

721
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,239
Cool bananas. Thank you heaps, mate. No worries.

722
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,799
We ended up settling for four dollars a gram.

723
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,959
So we're, uh... we're thrilled. You know, that's a good ending

724
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,959
to our season. And the cherry on the top was, you know,

725
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,519
I found this person that wanted to sell his house,

726
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,599
but swap it for opal.

727
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,359
Welcome to my Andamooka mansion.

728
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,719
JOE: Oh, nice-looking place.

729
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,239
Got air conditioner. CODY: Check out your pad, eh.

730
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,719
Bloody chandeliers. I mean, that's a luxury in itself.

731
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,879
ISSY: Everyone in this team has exceeded

732
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,959
what they expected this season.

733
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,319
The crystal opal that Angel found was just stunning.

734
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,399
To actually find that,

735
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,719
and find our rainbow matrix,

736
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,839
was just the icing on the cake.

737
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,279
To be able to put it all back into a gym and help kids out,

738
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,359
it's fulfilled my dreams.

739
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,239
You done good.I reckon this looks pretty worth it, eh.

740
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,039
For Mel and I, this has given us the, uh, financial backing

741
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,159
to start to pursue our dreams.

742
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:11,159
We should be able to have our studio open, our gallery,

743
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:13,879
and it just makes for a better start to next year.

744
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,839
All right, let's sit down and have a celebration pretty soon.

745
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,039
It's been a damn good year.We got some food here.Awesome.Ah-hey!

746
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,639
Oh, wow, look at that. You legends.

747
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,559
Well, it's actually ending up to be a very successful year

748
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,719
for yous, right? But next year's gonna be better and greater.

749
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,079
So here's to the Misfits. Thank you so much, guys.

750
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,599
So this mean we're coming back? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

751
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,799
To the Misfits! Whoo! Misfits!

752
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,319
ROD: I can tell you what, there's a little bit more here

753
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,519
than I thought we got. LES: Oh, OK.

754
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,639
BEN: Oh-hoh! SAM: Ooh!Hey!

755
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:54,559
Look at all that loveliness.

756
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,399
Ooh, that's sparkly, Sam, isn't it? Nice isn't?

757
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,559
I knew we got a bit of opal down there, Rod.

758
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,839
I wasn't expecting that much. Jesus, that's as red as Les's eyes

759
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,479
on a Saturday morning. Look at that!

760
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,439
NARRATOR: The Bushmen's final haul of the season

761
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,879
is grey-based crystal opal,

762
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,199
predominantly green with flashes of rare red.

763
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,319
It's been washed and weighs 780 grams.

764
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,519
It's hard to put a value on it, isn't it?

765
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,559
It's overwhelming in its own way.

766
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,639
So much.

767
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:28,759
There's some really nice stones in here. There's lots of reds.Mm.

768
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,959
Um, I reckon we'd have 60 grand's worth in that, wouldn't you?

769
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:36,319
I'd reckon. Yeah. I think that's fair.

770
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,799
There's heaps here. I reckon that's more than fair.

771
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,679
We didn't hit target, but we've come bloody close.

772
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,479
So that's not too bloody bad, really, is it?

773
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,119
Why don't we have a feed and a few beers to celebrate

774
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,599
the end of the season? You get the drinks cold, mate,

775
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,679
and I'll get the food on.Sounds like a really good idea.

776
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,759
Sounds good to me.

777
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,999
This season's been insane.

778
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,959
However, even though we didn't hit what we wanted to hit,

779
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,719
we still did make a fair bit of money this year

780
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,999
and enough for Les to have a good send-off.

781
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,919
You got your floaties, Les? No, mate.

782
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,279
Oh!

783
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
This season's been a rough season.

784
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,839
But as per usual,

785
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,959
we seem to wade our way through it

786
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,199
and come out on the... at the end of the line reasonable.

787
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,479
That's a bloody good feed, Ben.

788
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,559
Does the job, mate, doesn't it?

789
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,039
What you reckon, Les? Bloody nice, it is.

790
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,639
This season's been a rollercoaster.

791
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:44,279
Especially with Les's last hurrah underground

792
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,999
to be able to do it together. Pretty proud of myself

793
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,079
and proud of the team at the moment.

794
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,279
Couldn't ask for much more in a team.

795
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,559
It's been fantastic working with Rod and Les.

796
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,679
I think we've made a really good team.

797
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,399
It's amazing to see what we've achieved by the end of it

798
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,759
and what we've truly overcome.

799
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,999
Well, Les, I know you've been mining for about 375 years.

800
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,279
Yes. And I feel like I've been mining

801
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,599
a couple of hundred of them years with ya.

802
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,119
Found some nice opal. And some good times.

803
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,559
Just gonna say, mate, I'm gonna miss ya underground.

804
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,719
I suppose I...

805
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,839
I'll go and hang me hat up.

806
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,399
It is the end of the line, unfortunately, mate.

807
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,799
It's a sad day in the, uh, Bushmen history.

808
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,599
Well, you know, you can't go on forever.

809
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,319
There's me hat, so...

810
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,399
Yep.

811
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,999
Done and dusted, mate. Well done.

812
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,359
But I'm not taking me boots off and hanging them up

813
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,559
cos I still need 'em.So you're gonna work aboveground, you reckon?

814
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,199
Gonna work aboveground till it gets dead hard.

815
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,959
Fixing everything we break. I was just about say I seem

816
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,439
to think like he thinks we're gonna break everything.

817
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,559
I think he knows we're gonna. Yeah. Yes.

818
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,639
I seen some of yous in action.

819
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,879
Well, mate. Here's to you, Les.

820
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,879
Cheers, old fella.Cheers, Les. It's been a long time, mate.

821
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,239
Yeah, cheers. It's been all good.

822
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,999
You know, and at the stage I'm at the moment,

823
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,279
I don't know what I'm gonna do next year.

824
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,799
I know I'll still be underground. I'll still be mining

825
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,239
whether we've got a bigger crew or smaller crew

826
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,759
or more gear or more ground. I don't know yet.

827
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,359
You know, I-I just got to sort of process everything that's happened.

828
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,639
Such a whirlwind end to this season.

829
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:26,399
It's something I just want to sit back and think about

830
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,879
for a little while.Ah, you've got to do what you've got to do.
