00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,999
I'm looking at a number of pieces

324
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,999
Quite incredible.
325
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,079
Quite incredible.
326
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,999
From that day forward, they used to
bring us kids out here all the time.

329
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,999
We were constantly going to opal
mines, fossicking, cutting opal.

334
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,999
This colour!
Look at that, that's nice, eh?

This colour!
Look at that, that's nice, eh?
336
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:15,999

342
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,999
There'd be rocks
we'd bring from the mine,
343
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:24,919
There'd be rocks
we'd bring from the mine,
344
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,999
or perhaps we'd see a dealer
we really trusted,
345
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,999
or perhaps we'd see a dealer
we really trusted,
346

347
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,999
and I'd be looking for colour
348
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,559
and I'd be looking for colour
349
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,999
and pieces that I thought were
A-grade, B-grade, or C-grade.
350

for two years
359
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,999
before he let me touch a stone.
360
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,119
before he let me touch a stone.
361
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,999

Beauty, all right.
(LAUGHS)
448
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:49,999

at them that fell out around it.
452
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,119
at them that fell out around it.
453
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:55,999
There's a lot at stake.
If we don't find enough opal,
454
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,999
There's a lot at stake.
If we don't find enough opal,
455
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:58,239

We've got debts.
464
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,999
If we don't bring home the bacon,
everything's going to fall over.
465
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,999
If we don't bring home the bacon,

Hopefully, we'll get that set up,
479
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,999
get the blower going,
and get digging.
480
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,999
get the blower going,

just to try and get that -
1274
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,159
Should we put the chain on it
just to try and get that -
1275
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:13,999
Yeah.
1276
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,079
Yeah.
1277
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:15,999
We're going to crank her on,
we've got the chain on.
1278
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,999
We're going to crank her on,
we've got the chain on.
1279
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,559
We're going to crank her on,
we've got the chain on.
1280
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,999
Cos the shaft is bent, I've
left the chain that bit slacker.
1281
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,999
Cos the shaft is bent, I've
left the chain that bit slacker.
1282
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,079
Cos the shaft is bent, I've
left the chain that bit slacker.

Hopefully, it doesn't get tight
and snap it again,
1285
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,839
Hopefully, it doesn't get tight
and snap it again,
1286
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,999
but let's hope it's not loose enough
where it's going to jump off.
1287
