FunTranscript
00:00 I want to go to the shop and then hang out at the netball courts.
00:03 No, it's really fun because in the summer you can swim in the river and then apart from
00:07 those three weeks, you know, we like to do fun stuff, you know, go over the really big
00:11 spew hill or, you know, put rocks on the railway tracks.
00:15 Oh, it's lovely, darl.
00:18 It's lovely to live here.
00:20 Beautiful spot.
00:21 God's country.
00:22 I love taking the dogs down to the park just doing laps around, you know, go down with
00:25 Beatrice.
00:26 She's the neighbour.
00:27 She's got a golden doodle.
00:31 Yeah, she's just delightful.
00:33 Yeah, we walk around the park.
00:35 Saw a bit of graffiti on one of the poles though.
00:38 So yeah, that's the police should have a stronger presence there, I think.
00:44 Jackie Lambie lives down the road now actually.
00:46 Want to check out my Subie?
00:48 You want to check out my Corolla?
00:50 Yeah, no, it is easier to walk up when you're drunk.
00:53 No, mate, I can't afford to go to Greenstone.
00:55 Why don't you guys come drink up here?
00:58 Yeah, I'm already drinking in the shed.
01:00 Dad's here.
01:01 Grandpa's here.
01:02 We've already got the fire going.
01:03 Yeah, you can crash in the paddock.
01:05 It's fine.
01:06 I'll roll out the swag.
01:07 It's only going to be like three degrees tonight.
01:10 You'll be fine.
01:11 Jeez, I'm glad I'm the only person that lives here apart from the pool and the four Terryland
01:14 shops that have never been occupied for longer than 12 months at any point.
01:18 But always there is one fish and chip store here.
01:20 Does anyone know where I can get some drugs?
01:22 Oi, do you know anyone that wants to buy some drugs?
01:25 Yeah, I always think when I'm buying stuff online, oh, Brooklyn, Tasmania, not Brooklyn,
01:31 America.
01:32 Everyone always gets that confused.
01:36 We are reckon probably we'll have joint lease for lunch and then we'll probably go to our
01:40 finest dining establishment, the top of the town Hotel Motel for dinner, probably have
01:45 a $15 roast of the day.
01:47 And then we can probably have a pokey still about two, three in the morning.
01:51 That'll cover us.
01:52 It's not as bad as people say, you know, good views and close to the school and, you know,
01:57 could be worse, could live in Shorewell.
02:00 You know, you just got to live on the right street.
02:01 No, no, I don't live on the right street.
02:04 Cooee.
02:05 Cooee.
02:06 Cooee.
02:07 Yeah, no, it's Shorewell, but it's like the nice part of Shorewell Park.
02:12 It's, you know, I got some big fences.
02:16 You don't really have too much trouble.
02:17 I got some neighbors that like watch the house when I go to work.
02:20 So it's not so bad.
02:22 No, they never go to work.
02:24 No, no, they, they must work from home, I guess.
02:30 Always barbecuing and I see a lot of smoke coming out of their house.
02:35 A lot of them live there too.
02:37 Yeah, sorry the kettle looks like that.
02:38 The water's boil water.
02:39 So yeah, apparently it's good for you though.
02:42 I got to test it once and it's got lots of good minerals.
02:45 It's probably better for you.
02:46 Yeah.
02:47 Do you want to see some of my alpacas?
