NARRATOR: On Outback Opal Hunters, it's the end of the season

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,199
and the last chance to find opal.

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,359
MARK: Straight up!No!

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,319
Extreme summer heat forces the Blacklighters

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,879
to take on a dangerous night-time dig.

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,639
PAUL: Well, here, man. If it's that easy, come and do it.

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,239
I think we broke most of that.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,959
In the Badlands...I think there's a bit of rain coming.

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,679
..monsoonal storms threaten to destroy the Boulder Boys' season.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,919
, oh.

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,639
JAMES: Lost the shell.What? I don't know where it is.

12
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,399
Disaster strikes the Young Guns... I don't know where he's put it. He has no idea where he's put it.

13
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,279
..as JC loses thousands of dollars' worth of opal.

14
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:43,079
# Money

00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,119

AARON: Hey, Ron. Still not anything there, mate?

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,559
Look at that! Green line.Yeah. Nice electric green.

19
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,999
In Central West Queensland,

20
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,599
summer temperatures are pushing 40 degrees

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,599
and humidity is over 70%.

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,559
Aaron Grotjahn and Ron Selig have just days left of the season

23
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,519
to find a new opal lead.

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,039
It's not everywhere. It's just making a bit there, but we've just started.

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,999
Everything's here. Except for the rocks.

26
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,039
Well, they come and go too. Well, we know that one.

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,519
The Boulder Boys have spent the season

28
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,559
working for a 30% cut of opal found on Badlands,

29
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,639
a 120-acre lease owned by Kris and Eric Hume.

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,599
How are you, Eric, Kris? Long time no see.

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,839
Aaron has got a commitment to pay back a loan to Eric,

32
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,839
so he needs to have a successful year this year.

33
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,439
Aaron owes mine owner Eric $80,000.

34
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,919
To clear the debt and survive the off season,

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,479
the Boulder Boys still need to find almost $120,000 worth of opal.

36
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,239
Started off looking all right, but the level more or less

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,759
went dead over there where we found the opal at.

38
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,719
We've ended up back near the camp where Kerry Jackson found,

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,959
er, a real full amount of opal here, good-quality opal.

40
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,439
Twenty years ago, original Badlands owner, Kerry Jackson,

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,079
made his fortune working the claim.

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,639
They found some very good opal here, around a million dollars' worth.

43
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,399
One of the best stones in two foot under the ground.

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,599
We get the mullock off that, that's only two foot.

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,199
So I'm thinking that's where Kerry got his opal from,

46
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,559
in this area here. I think he's coming over this arvo.

47
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,079
He might be able to help us out, give us a run down.

48
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,799
It'll be good to find out exactly what they did

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,279
and which levels were carrying.

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,959
They spent ten years here. They'd know it better than us.

51
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,439
Ooh, hear that thunder, Ron.

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,599
Well, I think we're going to get wet.

53
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,279
Look at them clouds coming in, Ron.

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,639
Over the summer months in Queensland,

55
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,519
monsoonal storms can bring ten centimetres

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,359
of rain in a single day,

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,959
creating hazardous working conditions,

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,879
shutting down the season.

59
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,039
As long as it don't rain too much.

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,679
The weather from now on is going to get a little bit dicey.

61
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,639
We ended up losing another day or two.

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,199
We can't afford to lose a day or two right now.

63
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,999
I think there's a bit of rain coming.

64
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,239
Wind storm too, ay. Bloody hell.

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,439
Hey, not much we can do about it.

66
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,519
No, that's right, mate. Not much.

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,519
Mother Nature, mate.Yeah.

68
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,959
You get over four inches, you're stuck for a week.

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,119
A kilometre away that was.

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,799
What is it, buddy?

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,999
You go for cover, Paddy. Go for cover.

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,679
Now the rain's coming.

73
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,599
Half an inch should be all right still.

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,199
Anything over...Yeah. That'll do.

75
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,999
Good to have rain, but not at the moment.

76
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,999
Coming down now.

77
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,559
, oh.

78
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,959
Oi! Oi! Jaymin!

79
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,519
What's up? Come here, dude.

80
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,639
What's going on?Er... What have you got? A little bit of colour.

81
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,599
You find some opal?Look at that. That's good-looking colour.

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,599
Woo-hoo-hoo. Look at that mountain.

83
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,679
After an epic four months of preparation,

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,439
the Young Guns are finally digging opal from their new mine.

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,319
It looks a little bit odd, doesn't it?

86
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,319
It's , it's a big, old circle of it.

87
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,479
Do you reckon that's a fossil? I don't know.

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,759
Mate, that's... Whatever it is, it's a nice colour.Yeah.

89
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:52,679
All right, here we go. I'm engaging.

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,719
MAN: And here she comes.

91
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,079
We severely underestimated how much time and energy would go into getting this mine up and running.

92
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,119
Oh, look at that thing. That is beautiful.

93
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,799
JAYMIN: We've had to get the tipper up and running, the truck up and running.

94
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,959
We've had to do a lot of work on the digger.

95
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,759
That's all, you know, working now.

96
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,159
So that's good. We've got the ball rolling there,

97
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,759
but all of a sudden, we're at the end of the season

98
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:16,839
and we're not where we need to be.

99
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,879
Silent partner John Jennings is also looking for a return

100
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,279
on his $50,000 investment.

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,559
Hey, John. JOHN: How's it going, fellas?

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,559
The sooner we start pulling opal, the better off we'll all be.

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,199
We need a bit of money back in the kitty.All righty.

104
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,639
Hopefully, we get it sooner rather than later.

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,839
It's a race against the clock now with the days getting hotter.

106
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,759
We need to pull out opal now or it's going to be too late.

107
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,319
Off to Wazza's!Off to Wazza's.

108
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,199
The shell master.It's definitely a really interesting piece.

109
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,199
If it's a fossil, fossils can potentially

110
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,919
be worth hundreds of thousands.

111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,839
We don't really know too much about it,

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,519
so we're going to see Warren who's found a lot of fossils

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,559
and see what he reckons about it. Hey, guys. What's going on?

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,479
Just thought we'd come over and show you something we found.

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,399
Warren Khan has spent the last two years in White Cliffs

116
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,719
unearthing over 40 opalised fossils at his lease, the Aquarium.

117
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,079
What have we got? This is it. This is the shell.

118
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,159
Oh, wow! We think it's a shell, but...

119
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,239
Wow! That's nice colour. Take a look at it.

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,559
Very nice. Oh, it's a good size too.

121
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,399
But what do you reckon, Waz? Like we've... It looks odd.

122
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,359
Yeah, no, it's definitely a shell, mate.

123
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,639
Yeah?It's got beautiful colouring, hasn't it?

124
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Eh? It's lovely.It's got some awesome colour.Yeah.

125
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,239
Hoping there's more cos that one did crumble.

126
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,839
Where's there one, there's always more.There's more.

127
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,559
Yep.Oh, yes.Guaranteed.

128
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,679
One hundred million years ago, an inland sea covered Australia.

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,399
As the sea drained away,

130
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,999
shells clustered together in the shallows,

131
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,119
leaving voids for silica-rich water to fill,

132
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,519
hardening to form opal.

133
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,519
That's the first fossil we've ever found.

134
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,639
It's a really nice shell. If it was intact,

135
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,719
oh, mate, honestly, that thing there

136
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,559
would be worth five to 6,000 dollars.

137
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,599
Woo-hoo-hoo.Whoa! Yeah.NOAH: Geez.

138
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,199
Yeah, you've found a nice piece, mate. You serious?Really nice piece.

139
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,479
But youse have damaged it across there

140
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,279
and, you know, I'm thinking probably around the $2,000 mark.

141
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,079
That's still good. Still pretty good.

142
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,319
But if you can get 'em out in one hit, then they're worth big money.

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,239
It's in, it's coming out of, like, really, really hard ground.

144
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,919
And that's where they are.

145
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,839
Would it be worth trying to wash it, or what do you reckon?

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,319
Hey, it can't hurt.Yeah? It definitely can't hurt.

147
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,679
I've got a mixer there, and you can take that pod for some water.Yeah?

148
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,839
Yeah, that'll be helpful. All right. Too easy.

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,519
Thanks, Waz. Appreciate it. You're a legend.No worries.

150
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,439
It's light. Wait till it's full of water.

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,879
So right now, where we are with our season target,

152
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,879
we really need anything that can help us,

153
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,279
so we grabbed his pod off him, pick up the cement mixer as well.

154
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,959
Good fit.Good fit.

155
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,039
And, er, use that as basically a mini agitator or giant tumbler.

156
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,919
Are you good? We're good. We're in.

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,839
So that's definitely got our hopes up,

158
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,839
especially when it can be thousands of dollars' worth of opal there,

159
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,519
worth of fossils.

160
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,919
We're out of the heat at night. You haven't got the flies,

161
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,079
you haven't got all those extra distractions

162
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,759
that can take your eyes away from finding the opal.

163
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,839
Yeah, er, she's getting hard, ay. Yeah, I know.

164
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,959
That ground's like concrete. I know.

165
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,839
We're gonna have to take it real easy,

166
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,879
just one little tooth at a time scrape past this hard bit.Righto.

167
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,079
Turn on the blacklight so we can see everything that's glowing.

168
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,159
Yeah, don't go back no further that way.

169
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,799
Just attack that every time. That edge.

170
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,279
Well, here, man. If it's that easy, come and do it.

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,319
It's so  hard. Yeah, I know.

172
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,359
I can't go straight down. Righto.

173
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,999
Bit further, yeah, that's it. Now down.

174
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,639
Just days away from the end of the season...

175
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,879
JOHN: Whoa!Oh, up, up, up, up, up. Gee, lookers.

176
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,319
..the Blacklighters, Mark I'Anson, Paul Coon, and John Nassar...

177
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,279
All right. Let's use the light now, man.

178
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,559
..have finally achieved their goal of open cut mining in virgin ground,

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,959
bringing the promise of big opal finds.

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,519
That's a... Hey, hey, hey. Oh!

181
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,039
The blacklight's really good because any bit of opal

182
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,719
will fluoresce under this blacklight tonight, you know.

183
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,719
So it's nice and dark so it'll fluoresce

184
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,599
and we will just spot it from, like...

185
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,559
Even Paul can see it from the excavator.

186
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,959
Straight up! No! Oh!Oh!

187
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,799
I think we broke most of that.

188
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,879
Working at night makes things a lot harder.

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,279
Once the lights are out and you've got the blacklights on, anything can happen, so you gotta

190
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,519
keep on the ball and just sort of switched on.

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,239
If that dirt cracked and gave way,

192
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,559
the bucket's coming straight down on their head.

193
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,199
Either knock you out, hit you in the right spot, it could possibly kill you.

194
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,079
Shut it down now. We've got a big problem.

195
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,879
Shut it down. Shut it down.

196
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,639
We broke an axle on the drive belt.

197
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,039
Last week, their ten-tonne noodler,

198
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,039
Opalzilla, a machine that sifts for opal in old mined dirt,

199
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,719
had a major breakdown.

200
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,199
The bad news is we can't get a drum built for at least three weeks.

201
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,919
It's been a tense time for the Blacklighters.

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,999
After moving from Mintabie to Coober Pedy,

203
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,799
three families have relied on Opalzilla

204
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,679
to put food on the table.

205
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,919
Since the town closed and we can't stay there,

206
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,039
we've moved on and re-established ourselves in Coober Pedy,

207
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,439
but you can go backwards so fast,

208
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,759
so we got to make sure we do the right thing, really.

209
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,759
With Opalzilla down,

210
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,679
they've put all their faith in a 30-year-old excavator

211
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,919
and the opal-spotting power of blacklights.

212
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,599
Our main plan is to do a big open cut

213
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:53,599
and hopefully find ourselves a pocket that's been untouched,

214
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,199
follow it, and hopefully, it just keeps on running.

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,039
Oh, look! Look! Look! Oh, here we go.

216
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,159
That's a chunk just there. Sitting to come out again, Paul.

217
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,079
I can't see it cos you're in the way.

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,639
Ah, sorry, man. You only had to say.

219
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,959
Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, hey.

220
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,839
Hey, Paul! Stop, man! Stop!

221
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,279
Wait for a second. I can see sparks coming out.

222
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,199
Out of where? They're coming underneath.

223
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,519
They were dropping down, coming from in here.

224
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,159
Oh, hang on. What's going on?

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,999
Arcing out on there, maybe. For  sake.

226
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,439
RON: Soaked in all right, didn't it? AARON: Yeah. Don't take long, ay.

227
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,599
I don't know where Kerry is, but he reckoned he was coming today.

228
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,919
Oh, well, he might have got held up with the water. In Central West Queensland,

229
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,279
40-degree summer heat and monsoonal storms

230
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,919
mark the end of mining season. With only days left,

231
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,159
the Boulder Boys need almost $120,000 of opal

232
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,039
to pay off Aaron's $80,000 debt

233
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,879
and secure enough cash to last the off season.

234
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,159
Ron! I'll clean it up and then I'll go up the top.Yeah.

235
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,919
They're digging at a new location... Watch yourself, Ron.

236
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,679
..one hundred metres from camp where they believe a million dollars

237
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,519
was unearthed 20 years ago... That's all right.

238
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,079
..by original owner, Kerry Jackson.

239
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,079
Ah, Kerry's here. Hey, Ronnie.

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,919
How you going? Good, mate. Yourself?

241
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,119
Long time no see. Aaron, how you going, mate?

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,839
Good, Kerry. How about yourself? That's good to see.Yeah.

243
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,679
Ah, how youse going here? Well, we just opened it up.

244
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,119
Yeah.But, er...No nectar.

245
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,159
And then we ran into what was dug already.

246
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,279
Ah, where I've been?Yeah.

247
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,999
We hit a level in the clay... Righto...but I don't like

248
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,119
the look of the rock. Righto, mate. Yeah. It's mixed up.

249
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,679
Yeah. No, that rock would never make.

250
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,719
That's rubbish.

251
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,639
Different set-up, ay?Yeah, it's a completely different set-up

252
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,039
to where we got the opal back here for sure.Mm-hm.

253
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,839
Have a go at that bad boy. Oh. God.

254
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,799
That's about as, erm, good as green stone as you'll ever see.

255
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,479
Yeah.Look at it.Nice, innit?

256
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:29,319
It's like layer on layer, innit it? 25 carats.Yeah.

257
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,239
We call that the Millennium Stone, being found in the year 2000. Wow.Yeah.

258
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,559
That area actually set my wife and my kids up with a house.

259
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,679
Wow.Where did that come from? Over there?

260
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,439
Oh, if you pay me well, I'll tell ya.

261
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,879
Yeah, look, mate, the opal in this area,

262
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,879
from what I've known over the years when we were mining here 20 years ago,

263
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,559
all the opal was staying running along parallel to the creek beds.Yeah.

264
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,039
And you're starting to come across this big saddle,

265
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,599
so I'd be more inclined to stay closer to the creek.Creek.

266
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,039
I think you're getting too far away from it, ay.

267
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,079
Yeah, yeah. So.

268
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,719
The creek bed is 250 metres north of the camp

269
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,519
where Aaron and Ron already have workings.

270
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,559
We left a little spot to the right of the face

271
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,319
where we were on a bit of trace and we'll open it up.

272
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,199
Bit of luck, we get a bit of opal before we leave here.

273
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,799
Well, we don't have much time left because it will be very hot soon

274
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,799
and we could get flooded out any day, as we saw yesterday,

275
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,559
so we need to, er, really get stuck into it

276
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,319
and, er, make every bit count. Anyway, we'll see how we go.

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,279
For the size of the operation we have now,

278
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,279
the running costs, the investor,

279
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,919
we really need to be pulling out a lot of opal,

280
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,599
and hopefully it can, er, wash away a bit of that dirt

281
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,639
and show us some shells.

282
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,519
Equipped with 500 litres of water and a cement mixer,

283
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,599
the Young Guns are on the hunt for rare opalised shell fossils

284
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,199
worth up to $20,000 apiece.

285
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,919
The plan right now is to get dirt from underground,

286
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,079
put it into the cement mixer with some water

287
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,679
and basically try and wash off the dirt.

288
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,439
Found this one shell here,

289
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,039
so if there's more, they'll be in these rocks somewhere.

290
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,359
We'll just get a bucket-load of this,

291
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,839
all these hard rocks, throw them through our little mini agi set-up,

292
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,439
and then hopefully, it can expose some stuff, if there's anything in here.

293
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,639
This could be the thing that breaks us through that season target.

294
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,559
Gee, he sounds pretty close.

295
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,479
Look at this. Oi! JC! You're breaking through right now.

296
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,159
Literally that then? Literally just then.

297
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,879
Oh, .Damn it.

298
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,279
We thought we had, like, you know, another metre or so,

299
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,119
and it just happened to be right where he's come straight through.

300
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,879
Holy moly. I thought we had heaps more ground than this.Yeah.Geez.

301
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,599
It means there's only this skinny little bit of wall left to dig.

302
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,759
Once that's gone, you know, that's probably the end of the shells.

303
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,479
Bit disappointing, but we still...

304
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,479
I've got a bucket full of dirt to go up

305
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,399
and we know that we're finding stuff right around this level all here.

306
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,679
What?Lost the shell. I don't know where it is.

307
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,639
JC has misplaced the $2,000 shell.

308
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,999
I put it on the thing here.

309
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,639
Are you serious? And now I'm, like,  my pants.

310
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,399
I don't know. I don't know what I've done.

311
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,799
It's definitely not on the shelf. I don't know where I've put it.

312
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,439
Can't afford to do something like that right now.

313
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,959
He was walking through the mine. He put it somewhere

314
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,919
and can't remember where it is, and apparently, one of these rocks has a shell in it.

315
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,039
You know, it was valued at around two grand

316
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,799
so we can't afford to have something like this happen.

317
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,239
It's too late in the year to start a new job anywhere,

318
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,039
so we're hoping we left a little bit of opal behind in this top level.

319
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:10,599
We've already had rain. Any day we could get rained out.

320
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,999
The weather's starting to get over 40 now,

321
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,719
so it's our last chance.

322
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,759
Looming storms herald the end of the Boulder Boys' season.

323
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,679
Aaron and Ron are relocating their operation

324
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,559
to an area where one million dollars' worth of opal

325
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,759
was discovered 20 years ago.

326
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,839
We got the Kato 32-tonner in there.

327
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,759
We use that to do level cos it's a bit more gentle

328
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,479
than the hundred-tonner,

329
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,439
and we can be a little bit more surgical

330
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,399
in getting things out without losing it.

331
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,159
Rock straight there, whoo, underneath that one. That's it.

332
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,519
Nice rocks, nice rocks. Yeah.Yeah.

333
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,759
Yeah, got a bit of trace here. Like, er, speckles, Ron?Yeah.

334
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,559
I'll trim that up and then we'll give the whole lot a hit.

335
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,279
I'll come down and give you a hand. That's all right. It's just plod along.

336
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,239
We might have something sitting in here.

337
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,159
Might be really, really worthwhile.OK.

338
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,159
Well, the level's improving constantly.

339
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,479
It's starting to get the gypsum and everything,

340
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,319
it can actually start making. Yeah.

341
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,359
Gypsum is a soft mineral

342
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,439
used in plaster and fertiliser that can dissolve over time,

343
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,039
leaving voids for silica-rich water to seep into and form opal.

344
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,359
Every time we seem to have gypsum in this level,

345
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,079
we seem to produce opal.

346
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,399
We get it, Ron? No. Not yet.

347
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,319
There's no joy in that one.

348
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,999
Yeah, it's not coming off too good, but anyway...Yeah.

349
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,439
It's got to be about 40 degrees now. Yeah. Bit hot.

350
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,959
Yeah, I'm getting grumpy. Let's, er, go and have a sausage

351
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,439
and come back when it's a cooler. Cold drink, mate.

352
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,039
Yeah, good idea, Ron. The old pump's a bit hot too.Yeah.

353
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,399
Woo-hoo!

354
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,239
I've come over tonight just to strip a bit more dirt off.

355
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,679
I thought I'd do it in the cool of the night.

356
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,719
Better for the machines.

357
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,399
Night temperatures during the summer months

358
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,599
fall to an average of 20 degrees Celsius,

359
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,759
optimum for heavy machinery operation.

360
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,559
Just want to strip a little bit off that far corner and...

361
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,559
Then we got a good start in the morning.

362
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,519
It is unusual for Aaron to be out there.

363
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,599
I dare say that, er, he's getting desperate

364
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,879
to make sure that he can get his target.

365
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,799
We've only got a few days left,

366
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,279
so we might as well make hay while we can make hay,

367
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,159
otherwise that'll be the curtain time,

368
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,559
and, er, we can't do much about it any more then.

369
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,199
MARK: Hey, Paul, wait for a second. I see sparks coming out.

370
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,239
In the dying days of the season,

371
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,999
the Blacklighters need to urgently locate the source of sparks

372
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,079
coming from their second-hand excavator.

373
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,799
Arcing out on there, maybe.

374
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,679
If it breaks down, they have no way of working the open cut mine,

375
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,279
their only chance of finding opal.

376
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,639
See how that's gone? Has that always been gone?

377
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,559
Er, hang on. They're touching.

378
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,279
Was the battery melting? This is was touching that.

379
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,119
Yep.Cooking the battery. That's what it is.Yep.

380
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,959
We need to secure and mount the batteries.Yeah.

381
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,839
What's happened now is, erm, this battery slid back down.

382
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,719
This terminal here was touching on the wire,

383
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,279
shortening it out, dropping sparks through.

384
00:20:51,360 --> 00:20:53,959
It'll burn out all the lead on the terminals.

385
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,119
Basically like an arc welder, really.

386
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,879
Not good, not good at all.

387
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,639
Righto, so I'll put something in the middle there.Yeah.

388
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,919
Get some rocks. Get that rock.

389
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,599
The perfect-sized rock and just whacked it in there.

390
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,279
That'll do for tonight.

391
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,479
Tomorrow, we'll get a proper set-up for it

392
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,799
and make sure it doesn't happen.

393
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,119
Righto, that's another night out of the way.

394
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,839
Shut her down, mate.

395
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,519
Let's get the hell out of here. Let's get to bed, ay.

396
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,759
Next morning, there's good news.

397
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,959
Opalzilla's repairs are ahead of schedule.

398
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,399
Now we'll get back to Opalzilla and get her going.

399
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,079
Hopefully.Hopefully. Home stretch for us.

400
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,519
How you going, mate? Yeah, good. Just finishing up.

401
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,319
Oh, you're kidding me.Nah.

402
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,239
Already?All done. All done. It's done.

403
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,879
Oh, mate, you are an absolute legend, ay.

404
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,479
It's got the new end on it. Oh, yeah.

405
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,519
You are an absolute champ. It's as good as a new one, mate. What can't you do, ay?

406
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,719
The drum's turned out magnificent. Awesome job, just can't believe it.

407
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,439
Out in the middle of the desert you can find... Thank you.

408
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,959
..such nice people that are willing to help you. It's great.

409
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,959
Now we're gonna go get Opalzilla going. That's the plan.

410
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,519
Summer temperatures reaching over 45 degrees

411
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,639
will soon make Coober Pedy too hot to work.

412
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,119
The area is also at risk from monsoonal storms

413
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,559
that can flood mines and destroy equipment.

414
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,319
When we bent the shaft in Opalzilla, we had probably half

415
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,639
to three quarters of a bin full of dirt in there and we need that out.

416
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,679
If we leave it in there and it rains, it'll set to like concrete

417
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,479
and we'll be stuffed next time we come back. It's gotta be done, no matter what.

418
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,839
Shovelling out the three tonnes of dirt inside Opalzilla by hand

419
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,639
risks heat exhaustion.

420
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,479
Their only option to shift it is a working conveyor belt.

421
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,199
Yeah, we've got our drum out here.

422
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,119
We've got a chance to get it all fixed up and back into action,

423
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,599
but the belt's so tight that there's no room for us

424
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,639
to just slide the drum in.

425
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,079
It's not easy.The 80kg drum... It's going to fall.

426
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,759
..has to be positioned inside the rubber belt,

427
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,079
then the central shaft slid into narrow steel holders either side.

428
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,919
We might be able to slide it over one way

429
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,799
and then just tap it back.

430
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,959
Push, Mark. Hold it there. Just hold it.Yeah.

431
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,959
I need that slack of the belt to get it up.

432
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,719
Ooh. Oh.Hang on. That almost got nasty.

433
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,519
Ooh. More towards down more.

434
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,199
Is that it?Nah, more.

435
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,319
Need probably another inch, two inches.

436
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,079
Keep going, keep going, keep going.

437
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,479
Is that it, Mark?

438
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,279
Nah, there's about, nah, not much more and that's it.

439
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:35,519
Well, that's, erm, not going to work then.

440
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,119
You got any more that side?

441
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,639
Oh, no, the drum's actually on the frame there.

442
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,799
Yeah, that's a bit of a... We tried, man.

443
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,639
Too awkward.

444
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,839
Well, today it's make or break, so see how we go.

445
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,639
AARON: It'd be nice to put something in the bucket today and get the money sort of up a bit.

446
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,959
I've got a debt to Eric, I'd like to pay the debt off this year.

447
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,959
The more I can pay off, the quicker I can pay it off.

448
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,119
I'll work me way in from the right there.

449
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,039
All right.Steadily.

450
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,159
Aaron and Ron are pushing body and soul to the limit... Watch him, Ronnie.

451
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,919
..working around the clock to try and find the $120,000 needed

452
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,679
to pay off debt and survive the off season.

453
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,759
Not much rock at the moment, Ron, ay.No.

454
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,359
.Yeah.

455
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,359
The opal come, the opal go.

456
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,039
Eric might turn up Saturday

457
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:46,399
and then will say, "That's it, shut shop".

458
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,879
He was talking about it last week when he was here.

459
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,759
Everything's possible.

460
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,879
Yeah, once I thought I knew everything. I know  all, mate.

461
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,639
All right, Aaron. You're starting to lose the plotsky.Nah.

462
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,399
Are you getting a heat meltdown? Yeah. Come and do this crap.

463
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,839
Oh. Don't matter, we're going to go through.

464
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,519
You just don't know, Aaron.

465
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,519
I  do know, Ron. I've dug a bit of opal, mate.

466
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,399
When you're ready.

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,519
That's all.

468
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,519
Whoa! Nice lines.

469
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,879
Oh, give me a look. I've got to see this.Yeah, they're lines.

470
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Got blue, green, purple. Yeah.

471
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,079
It's a nice trace. It's a good start.

472
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,879
Yeah, yeah. Nice greasy rock up this end.

473
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,039
You know, I get the feeling we're going to be stripping that corner out, Aaron.

474
00:25:42,120 --> 00:25:46,279
I'll give her a crunch, ay. Take slithers.

475
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,119
We don't want to miss nothing.

476
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,919
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hey?

477
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,599
Colour! Yeah, look at that.

478
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,959
Mate, there's more on the ground there, Ron. Yeah, I know.Look at that.

479
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,519
Whoa-ho!Yee-haw!

480
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,359
There's got to be some in there, Ron.

481
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,039
We've just come onto a nest. Hey, that's nice colour.

482
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,359
Throw that in the bucket, mate. Yahoo! Yeah, high five.

483
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,759
Hey, there's more lines there, mate.

484
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,119
Last week of mining, should be putting everything in

485
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,679
and should be going hard, and all I'm doing is screwing up.

486
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,279
Idiot. All this mine is made out of rocks

487
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,759
that all look the exact same as the one we've lost,

488
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,879
so every opal miner's worst nightmare.

489
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,599
Check this out. What have you got?

490
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,439
This is it. This is the shell. Oh, wow!

491
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,559
That's nice colour. NOAH: Yeah, look at it.

492
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,679
Still $50,000 short of their season target,

493
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,439
JC has lost the Young Guns' only find,

494
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,679
a highly valuable opalised shell.

495
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,319
JAYMIN: That's $2,000 gone. Oh. How can you do that?

496
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,799
If you want to keep looking, I'm going to take a bucket of dirt up.OK.

497
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,799
And we'll just start washing it. Yep.

498
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,479
He thinks it's gone into this.

499
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,759
He thinks it might have fallen off the shelf into all the loose dirt,

500
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,319
so pretty much our only Hail Mary is if it's literally in here.

501
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,679
NOAH: Now we're just waiting.

502
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,639
What do you reckon, Noz? Is there something good in there?

503
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,399
There better be a shell. Hopefully.

504
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,919
You reckon that shell's in there, JC?I don't know.

505
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Anything will do.

506
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,239
Here we go. The suspense is killing me.Yeah.

507
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,759
A rock there. Some opal in that?

508
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,319
There's definitely some big chunks of opal in there.

509
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,439
Look at that.Yeah? It's mostly just potch.

510
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,079
Boys, have a look at this? What have you got, Noz? What is it?I don't know.

511
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,199
It's not really opal, but it's a weird shape.

512
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,679
Is that the shell? I don't know if it's this shell.

513
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,079
It's definitely a shell.It doesn't look like any of the opal...

514
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,879
It's a shame there's no colour in it or opal at all.

515
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,999
That shell's evaporated. It's not in here.

516
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,359
It's not gonna be in here. It's not gonna be downstairs, not gonna be upstairs. It's gone.

517
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,519
I mean, we still got some opal out of it.Yeah.

518
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,599
That's just ridiculous.

519
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,759
Yeah, I mean, it's really a bit of a downer,

520
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,519
so we're gonna get back to work, hopefully find something

521
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,279
to get us through.

522
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:16,319
Our only hope has really been snuffed out,

523
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,319
so now we're just going to have to get back down there and dig as hard as possible.

524
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,679
With the shell-bearing dirt exhausted,

525
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,959
the Young Guns' last hope is a tunnel they abandoned

526
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,359
because of cement-like ground.

527
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,919
There's definitely some nice trace here.

528
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,079
Nice little green flush here. Little blues over here.

529
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,479
Our hopes are pretty low at the moment,

530
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,119
just being that there's not much time left, but we're just doing our very best

531
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,839
and trying really hard to find something.

532
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,719
It's getting to the stage where

533
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,199
everyone else is starting to pack up and head back,

534
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,999
you know, call it a year, and we're still out here digging

535
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,559
because we haven't got to where we need to be.

536
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,399
How's it looking down there? Mostly just potch.

537
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,639
Hey, boys!

538
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,599
Come and look at this. What have you got?

539
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,719
Woo-hoo!Ah!We've got opal.

540
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,399
That's the thickest stuff we've ever found.

541
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,959
Look at that, mate. Dude, that is wild.

542
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,439
That is a good seam.

543
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,959
Here, take that, Noz. I'm going to go grab a bucket.

544
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,119
Yeah, that's wild. Ah!

545
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,719
MARK: It's trial and error. Everything up here's trial

546
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,199
and error, so stuff's going to break.

547
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,159
You got to show strength when it does break and just fix it.

548
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,439
The Blacklighters need to get Opalzilla's conveyor belt running

549
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,279
to clear out three tonnes of dirt from the bin

550
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,879
before summer rain sets it like concrete.

551
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,039
We tried, man. Plan A didn't work.

552
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,919
We go back to Plan B,

553
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,879
and yeah, hopefully it'll be in soon.

554
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,079
Plan B means using the loader to wrench the 100kg belt back,

555
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,399
so they have space to manoeuvre the drum into position.

556
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,639
It's quite a task. It's effing dangerous,

557
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,519
cos you got Mark with the loader

558
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,519
pulling so much pressure on that shaft.

559
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,359
If something slips or breaks, and we're standing right behind it,

560
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,599
and that hits you in the head, it'll kill you.

561
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,239
So, yeah, it's not the best job to be doing,

562
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,999
but we'll do what it takes to get it working.

563
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,239
The pole has got to go towards the loader.

564
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,359
Yeah, just got to keep reefing it forward.

565
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,119
JOHN: All right.I'll reef forward and youse guys go up.

566
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,999
That's it, keep going.Ah!

567
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,439
That's close, man. Need that bit more.

568
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,119
There we go. We're in.

569
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,399
Righto. Hold her there. You beauty.

570
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,119
Ah, we finally got it in there. Thank God for that.Drum on?

571
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,799
With the drum fixed,

572
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,439
the Blacklighters can now empty Opalzilla

573
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,559
and shut it down for the season.

574
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,559
Well done. Well done, mate. Whoo.

575
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,679
Well done. Yep, it's good, man.

576
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,479
There's just one day left, and the last chance of finding opal

577
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,639
means working into the night at their open cut mine.

578
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,399
Yeah, fingers crossed we don't have, er,

579
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,439
too many more sparks flying out the back.

580
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,839
Hang on, Paul.Hang on, Paul. Ooh.Oh, shivers.How's that?

581
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,879
Wooeee! That's chunky time.

582
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,559
Squiz at that. Oh, golly gosh. Under here, too.

583
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,839
Oh! Look at that. Buddy!

584
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,719
That's a jackhammer. Yeah, jackhammer for that, man.

585
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,639
Ooh, yeah.

586
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,359
Righto. I'll be back. Comes jacky.

587
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,079
The excavator's a little bit rough,

588
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,399
so we just don't want to break it, so we're just going to get

589
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,079
the jackhammer out and take it out properly, so, yeah.

590
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,919
Better to be safe than sorry.

591
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,599
We don't want to break a nice piece in half.

592
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,679
Yeah, the whole piece is moving. Pop it out.Yep.

593
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,159
Oh, here we go. Fatty biscuits. Fatty biscuits.

594
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,239
I just want to lick it.

595
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,839
Where's the bucket? Where's the bucket, ay?

596
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,639
You beauty.

597
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,199
There we go. There we go. Gentle. There he is. Hello.

598
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,479
That's chunky. I found him. Ooh. Here he is.

599
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,279
That's a total level, ay, that's gold.

600
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:44,039
Starting to make a seam now running back that we're following, so pretty well a bit of a pocket.

601
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,799
I don't want to say it, but, yeah,

602
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,839
looks like we're on a bit of a pocket, ay.

603
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,319
So, you beauty. That looks a bit chunky.

604
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,199
We're going to need a bigger bucket, man.

605
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,639
AARON: Oi!Bloody hell. Look at that.

606
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,519
Ah, that's bloody four pattern, Aaron.

607
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,279
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Look.

608
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,519
A couple more pieces. Brilliant colour.

609
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,959
Oh, there's another one. It's his brother, ay.

610
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,959
Isn't that nice?

611
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,399
Got to be more there, Ron. You're right. There's more there.

612
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,639
Wow. And the mother over there.

613
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,599
Another one. Baby. Look at that.

614
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,479
Now that's red.That's red.

615
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,679
That's a thousand bucks a carat, that stuff.

616
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,639
Just about when you're ready to throw the towel in, too. I nearly had enough of this.

617
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,079
Nice, Ron.Bloody oath. Whoo-hoo! We did it.Nice.

618
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,519
Aaron and Ron have boulder opal, blue green with flashes of red.

619
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,119
It's in the rough, and there's 2.8 kilograms.

620
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,559
There is red in them little lines. Yeah.

621
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,599
Found some nice colour this week.

622
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,919
I think we done the right decision by going back to where we went to.

623
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,879
$80,000 in debt to mine owners, Kris and Eric Hume,

624
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,919
Aaron hopes there's enough opal to finally repay it.

625
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,879
Here's Kris, mate.All right.

626
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,399
How's it going, boys? Hey, good. How about yourself?

627
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,119
Yeah, not bad, not bad.

628
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,839
We found a bit of opal since you've been gone, mate. Good. Like to see that.

629
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,759
Yeah.Like to see that.Mm. Nice flash to it, innit?It is.

630
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,119
Ah, and it rolls red. It does.Yeah.

631
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,919
In that blue.Red into gold. Yeah. It's nice.It is.

632
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,319
That's going to make a really nice pendant stone.

633
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,119
And we've got quite a few like that. Got them running.

634
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,679
That's almost polished as it is. Innit?

635
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,359
In the rough as it is. Well...

636
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,519
If you sold the whole lot as a parcel, I reckon you'd get 30.

637
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,839
Yep.Yep.Thirty for the lot? Yep.Yep.

638
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,079
It will sell. There's no worries there.Yep.

639
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,839
But I think we're going to get a mate in to cut stones.

640
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,839
The problem is, it's going to take longer to sell,

641
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:56,919
but...Yeah...we're looking at probably an extra 50 grand.

642
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,079
I'm not in no hurry, Kris. Yeah.

643
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,399
No, that's all right. We've taken this long now,

644
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,079
what's the rush?That's it.

645
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,279
And I think we'll just call it quits for the year.

646
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,239
No worries, mate. No worries.

647
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,999
Good year.All right. Good year.No worries.No worries.

648
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,079
Good year, Ron.Good year. Good year, mate.Yep.

649
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,839
Bit of luck, we'll have a good another one next year, mate.

650
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,319
With their share of $24,000,

651
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,199
Aaron and Ron's season total is $56,750,

652
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,319
well short of their target.

653
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,399
Half the money will go towards paying off Aaron's debt.

654
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,559
It would have been nice to find enough opal to pay the debt out,

655
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,359
but it gives me a bit of motivation for next year.

656
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,999
Ronnie's going today, but I'll probably still be here for another week

657
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,759
and just tidying the loose ends up.

658
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,359
It's going to be good to catch up with the daughter

659
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,559
and the son and the grandkids. Next year...

660
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,839
See you in a few weeks. ..we should double what we're doing this year

661
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,999
because we already understand the Pedy,

662
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,839
and I don't think it's right named 'Badlands',

663
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,679
because it's not that bad here.

664
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,399
I've had a good year. It's good working for good people

665
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,199
and we are going to find more opal next year. That's our job.

666
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,879
MARK: Ooh.JOHN: Oh, dear. PAUL: Oh, oh.

667
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,599
Here we go.Oh, dear.Hello.

668
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,839
Jackhammer.Oh, it's a big chunk. Looks like there's a bit of colour

669
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,759
sitting on top of the matrix there. It actually looks quite good.

670
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,479
On the last evening of their mining season,

671
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,679
the Blacklighters have finally hit opal.

672
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,519
Oh, get that chunk in the bucket.

673
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,359
They're one step closer to realising their dream

674
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,359
of working a successful open cut mine.

675
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,359
It's got, like, the veins running through it like boulder.

676
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,879
Yeah, it's matrix. Bit of green, like, veins.

677
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,679
Ooh, here we go.Got him? Hello.That's a nice chunk.

678
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,599
Here's a biscuit. Another biscuit?

679
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,199
Yeah. We're starting to get there. There's a few nicer bits in there.

680
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,079
It's awesome to be filling the bucket.

681
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,759
Seems our methods are paying off,

682
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,359
so hopefully we can get money at the end of the week.

683
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,559
Would be good. Yeah, this is amazing.

684
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,719
Beautiful night spent with a couple of mates

685
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,199
and finding something that you just don't often do.

686
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,399
It's, like, good as it gets, ay, really.

687
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,119
What's happening here, Mark? What's going on here?

688
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,799
I've been, erm, going through the parcel,

689
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,479
grading it out, see what we got.

690
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,639
We got our tops here from where we ripped the other night. Some quite nice pieces.

691
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,239
Bit of blues, bit of greens, bit of crystals.

692
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,959
That's a bit pretty.

693
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,959
Yeah.That's a pipe, ay. It's a beautiful pipe in there, ay.

694
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,679
Stuck up in there. Not too bad, ay?

695
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,159
Like, that's a nice week's worth.

696
00:37:41,240 --> 00:37:44,759
The Blacklighters have white and crystal opal,

697
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,439
blue green in colour.

698
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,599
It's in the rough, and there's 510 grams.

699
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,519
Some beautiful colour, ay.

700
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,599
Righto, well, what do you reckon it's worth, mate?Well, erm...

701
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,719
Ten grand there, tell me there's ten.

702
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,279
Well, mate, we got someone willing to pay 15 for the whole parcel now.

703
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,479
Sick.Bull-. Yeah, I know. I know.

704
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,479
Scored! Woo-hoo! Yeah.That's a win.

705
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,879
What a week. That's a good ending. You beauty. Yeah.

706
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,639
All right, well, last one in the pool buys a bottle.

707
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:15,119
Righto.

708
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,039
Yeah.

709
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,239
The Blacklighters' first season in Coober Pedy

710
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,479
has netted them a $189,000 haul.

711
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,959
It's nothing to be, erm, down and out about.

712
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,399
I mean, we've still had a pretty damn good year.

713
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,599
We're in a way better position now than we were when we turned up,

714
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,759
so I think we should be proud of that.

715
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,079
Feels to me that there's a lot of opal out there

716
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,999
and we might end up rich next year.

717
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,959
We'll be back earlier, bigger and better than ever.

718
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,639
Don't worry about that.

719
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,479
JAMES: Get ready to catch this, Noz.

720
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,519
JAYMIN: Watch it.Ooh.

721
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,599
Oh, yeah, that's going to go. You ready?NOAH: OK.

722
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,239
Oh, look at that chunk. Let me pick it out.

723
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,519
Have a look at that. That is a chunk.

724
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,239
Ooh.What the... Oh.That is money right there.

725
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,039
Oh, my God! Are you kidding me?

726
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,199
Guys, again, just chunks of it. Woo-hoo-hoo!

727
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,639
Have a look at that.Ah! Have a look at how thick that is.

728
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,439
Look another bit. Look at the size of it.

729
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,119
Let me see.That's unreal.

730
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,759
I swear, we've got, like, a kilo of opal in this bucket.

731
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,839
Woo-hoo-hoo! What the hell, boys?

732
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,319
Let's just go and stuck it straight in the tumbler.

733
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,199
We'll clean it up, take it in and get a valuation from Dad,

734
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,919
but I swear I've seen at least a kilo of opal nearly fall into that bucket.

735
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,319
Holy crap, boys. Holy crap.

736
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,759
The Young Guns have crystal opal, blue green with flashes of yellow.

737
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,919
It's in the rough, and there's 970 grams.

738
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,039
Mining veteran and Jaymin's father, Graeme,

739
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,399
will value the opal.

740
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,799
Oh, let's have a look. Have a look at this.

741
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,239
Oh, now that's what we're talking about.

742
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,359
We're very excited about this stuff. That's the choice material.

743
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,759
250 grams, eight ounces. Eight ounces.

744
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,319
You guys are actually looking at a bit of money here.

745
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,599
This material here, just this little bag,

746
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,559
I think you're looking at least,

747
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,039
at this sort of colour, at least $4,000.

748
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,479
An ounce?$4,000 an ounce?

749
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,199
JAYMIN: That's... GRAEME: That's right. That's big money.

750
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,199
We've got ten ounces or 10.2 ounces of this material.

751
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,079
Well, I mean, it's still making good colour in here.

752
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,119
Sizes are a bit smaller, but you're looking at an easy

753
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,879
two-and-a half-thousand an ounce for this material.

754
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,439
Yep.Nice.We've still got one more bag of stuff there.

755
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,239
So this is just fully bonus.

756
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Yeah, it's all low grade, you know, but...

757
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,039
Doesn't matter. It all adds up. Sixteen ounces of that.

758
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,719
JC: Still got some more in there.

759
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,319
I mean, you're still looking at easy four to $500 an ounce...

760
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,239
Holy.....for that quantity. I'll let you do the math on that.

761
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,039
What's that, what's that altogether?

762
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,319
If the eight-ounce material is four grand an ounce,

763
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,319
10.2 ounces at, what did you say?

764
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,039
Two-point-five.Two and a half. Two-and-a-half thousand.

765
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,919
How many ounces is that big stuff? Sixteen.Sixteen ounces.

766
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,039
$65,500.

767
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,879
Well done.Sixty-five.

768
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,799
Well done, Jay. Good on ya. We done it.

769
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,359
$65,000.Well done.

770
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,439
Thank you.Well done. Thank you.Nice.

771
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,239
Opal money. Opal money. Yes.Opal money, boys.

772
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,639
I'm so proud of these guys. I mean, they've really done the hard yards.

773
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:48,399
I just hope next year, they can do bigger and better again.

774
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:51,759
NOAH: The season total, that is unreal.

775
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,039
Like, never could I have imagined, two years ago,

776
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,159
that we'd even be making this much money

777
00:41:56,240 --> 00:41:59,839
from this at all. It's unreal. JAYMIN: I think it was emotional for everyone.

778
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:03,599
After the week we've had and the journey to get to this point, you know,

779
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,879
and the fact that we needed it so much as well,

780
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,919
all of that really just, oh,

781
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,199
made it pay off for everything, really.

782
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,559
Right at the end of this season, down to the wire,

783
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,599
but the boys pulled through.

784
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,719
Let's give John a call.Yeah. Johnny boy.Get him on the phone.Give him a call.

785
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,079
John Jennings invested $50,000 in the Young Guns' mining gear

786
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,239
and takes a 25% share of their earnings.

787
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,479
Hey, John.How's it going? How are you doing?

788
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,999
You're on with the three of us. How you going, mate?

789
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,439
We've, er, smashed the season target so we've gone right through there.

790
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,079
You  ripper. You beauty.

791
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,999
I just wanted to say thank you so much.

792
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,159
Having you on board was just, you know,

793
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,639
made this season so much better. It was an honour to work with you, lads.

794
00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:48,999
I'm actually all proud that you'd expect that I would be.

795
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,919
Thanks, John. Thanks for everything. Thanks for everything.

796
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,119
JOHN: I look forward to next season.

797
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,479
Yeah, I think next year is gonna be the big one.

798
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,559
All right, we'll let you go, mate. Have a good one.All right.

799
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,959
This season has been an absolute rollercoaster.

800
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,959
It's been a long road to get to here,

801
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,079
but, erm, I'm heaps proud of the boys

802
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,999
and what they've accomplished out here.

803
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,199
At the end of the day, we're all going home pretty happy this year.

804
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,839
I can't wait until next year and see what that brings.

805
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,519
Cheers, boys.Cheers.
