Well, what do you reckon, Mick?

Oh, it's pretty flash, isn't it, eh?

Yeah, yeah, you know

that beauty'll shoot the brown eye out of a pig's arse at a thousand yards.

THEY LAUGH - Good one!

Don't it make ya brown eye bloody, eh?

TOM: Oh, bloody oath it would.

You're a bit late this year, eh?

I thought you'd be here a couple of months earlier.

Yeah, I got delayed, mate. - Oh.

Mate, if you want piggies, you gotta go up the Territory.

They had bucket loads of rain up there about six weeks ago.

Pissin' down, eh? - Yeah, yeah.

I was just thinkin' about your dad, you know.

He used to come in here. This is years back.

Years back he'd come in here, mate, buy all his ammo for his dogging

and he'd always hang about for a bit of a yarn.

He was a funny bastard. - Oh yeah.

I loved him, mate.

He would have been the best dogger.

And fight!

I saw him hit this fuckin' bloke once, mate, with a short right.

It was like he'd been hit with a fuckin' hammer.

Yeah. Don't make 'em like that anymore.

Yeah, God saw what he'd done and broke the mould.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, talkin' about your dad, there's been a...

been a bit of trouble down around your old stomping ground, eh?

Is that right?

Yeah, there's some mad bastard killing everyone down there.

It makes you think, doesn't it?

Oh mate, it's fuckin' shockin', isn't it?

I reckon this cop'll get him, though.

Who's that then? - Yeah, this cop here.

Christ, he's an ugly bastard, isn't he?

Oh yeah, but I tell ya what

these mad bastards, you know

they reckon they got it all together, but they just make one mistake

someone recognises them, they recognise the car.

They get all these little clues, they put em together.

It's just like a big jigsaw puzzle, and they're gone.

Is that right? - Oh, mate.

I watched that HBO doco series, you know, on crime?

They always got the murderer.

Just like that bloody Snowtown bunch of pricks.

I don't watch them crime shows.

Too violent, mate. I like the funny stuff, you know?

THEY LAUGH

Yeah. Well look, is there anything else I can get for ya?

No, no, I'm right, mate.

Got what I need here.

See you again soon, eh?

See ya, Tommy. - Yeah.

But keep takin' the tablets, ya old bastard, eh?

Just the blue ones, eh, so it'll stand up like a fuckin' telegraph pole.

Ya still raise the sword, you're still in the fight, eh?

HE LAUGHS Just gotta find the right size cabin, mate.

Take a wombat, mate.

Oh, get out.

You bastard.

Just the one box?

Yeah, that'll do. - There you go.

[SHE SIGHS]

G'day, mate. - Hello.

RICHIE: Yeah, so our transport today is a converted Mann TGM

seating up to 22 passengers.

How're you going? - I was just saying

our transport today is a converted Mann TGM

Yeah yeah, take em there. - Oh right, the...

the bus? - Yeah yeah.

It comes with a flexible frame, live front and rear axles and long travel springs.

STEVE: Right. - Yeah, oh

it's also got an enclosed drive shaft.

DAVO: Good mate, how're you goin'?

Bewdy, go get comfortable.

Hey. - DAVO: Hi hi.

How're you going? - Great.

DAVO: Great, I'll take those for you. Thank you.

It's Richie, isn't it?

Yes. - Yeah. Davo.

How're ya goin'? - Good.

You know a fair bit about the bus, mate?

Yeah, no, definitely. - Great.

Yeah, it's... - Hey guys. How are ya?

Excellent.

Yeah, no, I like all coaches.

Right.

We've got Volvos in New Zealand.

Okay. - Yeah, both TLs and the RES.

Yeah? - But ah no converted TGMs

so ah, that's why I'm here.

What, you're here for the bus?

You're not here to see the majestic Australian outback and...

Well, you know, to... to see it from a cloth covered reclinable Mann TGM seat

through double glazed tinted windows, yes.

Well I guess it is a fairly unique experience.

No no, just unique, actually.

Hey?

Well there are no degrees of uniqueness.

I mean, something's either unique or it isn't.

You know, like the Karosa single deck 8741 is unique to Czechoslovakia.

Okay, yeah.

Right.

So Richie, I'm guessing that you're here on your own, mate

'cos you don't have a partner.

Correct.

I mean, I did have a girlfriend once.

Who you met on a bus? - Yeah, yeah! It was a Volvo B10L.

Right.

We used to catch it to work together, for a while.

But then she got her license.

Yeah... Didn't really see her much after that.

No? - I don't know why.

Yeah. - I tried calling.

Yeah? - Yeah.

Yeah, but then Mum said not to worry.

She said sometimes, you know, some people are just like that.

Yeah.

Anyway, here I am. - Great.

Well, lucky us, eh?

Yep, that's alright.

Yep. - I'll get that.

Chuck that in and oh yeah, doubles it up.

No, it's good. - Beautiful.

Righto, mate. Yeah, well thanks, Richie

for your help and jump on and I'll...

You right with that... - Yeah, all good.

All good, thanks, buddy. - Just that cord there.

That's great, thank you mate. - Yep. Okay.

Nice packing.

Oop, whoops. - Yeah, oopsie, that's it.

Oh, jam em in. Good work.

Yep, it'll be a good one. - All set?

Well, ah, look welcome, ladies and gentlemen

to this outback tour of Central Australia.

My name's Ian Davison, but you can call me Davo.

ALL“. Davo .

DAVO: Nice one, thank you.

Now I'm going to be your driver and guide for the next two weeks.

Just doing a quick head count

and we are just still waiting on a couple of passengers.

So ah, in the meantime

when I call your name off the manifest why don't you tell us where you're from

and maybe a little interesting fact about yourself.

KELLY: Let's go! We can make it!

Oh, Jesus! - Hey!

KELLY: Sorry!

CAR HORNS HONK

Oh man, that guy came out of nowhere.

Kelly, it was just the cleaner.

He should wear a hell or something.

I almost had a fucking heart attack.

I don't really want to talk right now.

Can we slow down for a sec?

Wait. Where do we go?

That way?

Richie Langman.

Oh, yep, thanks.

Um, hi.

My name's Richie, I came from Blenheim in New Zealand...

That's terrific, thanks Richie. Good on you, mate.

KELLY: Oh my God!

COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS

New Port Augusta was founded in

1852

Named after

Lady Augusta Young.

Who was the wife of the State Governor, Sir Henry Young.

Who is that?

I knew that.

Thank you!

Thank you, Richie.

Doing me out of a job.

And then tonight we're gonna stop

at a great little spot called Gemini Creek.

And we've got some awesome places lined up for you, guys.

Sunrises and sunsets and

oh, rivers and desert and bush and

crazy wildlife.

You name it, Australia's bloody got it.

Let's do it! I've got a good feeling about this one, gang.

Yeah, mate.

You're into it, right? - I am into it. Yeah.

[MOBILE PHONE VIBRATES]

Put it back in?

Can you just not get mad?

I'm not mad.

And you'd better take it.

I'll be like five seconds. - Go for it. I'm not stopping you.

Look. Off.

That must have been so hard for you. - You're such an asshole.

Oh!

So what brings you two to the wilds of South Australia?

Ahh, well we normally have a week in Paris and do the Louvre,

that sort of thing.

But ah this time Bec suggested a challenge.

Yeah, Danny's more a fishing trip with the guys kind of person

so I wanted to go somewhere he'd love.

How thoughtful of you.

What about you?

You just felt the magnetic pull of raw nature?

No, er, once a year I search for cheap flights online

and just try and go somewhere completely different.

Really? That random?

Variety's the spice of life and all that.

Interesting.

UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

Ah, hi guys.

How're you going?

I'm Steve and this is my partner, Johnny.

Johnny, hi.

We were just wondering about your... your accent.

Actually, we made a bet.

Oh. - We did.

What do you call sophisticated Americans with health cover?

Canadians. - Ohh!

Born and bred. - Yes.

Kelly.

NINA: Have you been to Australia before?

BRUCE: No, ma'am. You?

Ja,

we have lived here for ten years

but we have never gone bush.

It seemed like such a shame to sit at home with all this to explore.

That's what brought me out here.

I had to get out of my comfort zone.

Ja.

Australia is so beautiful.

We can't just wait around, regretting what we didn't do, can we?

Tomorrow night, we're going to camp out under the stars.

I can guarantee that you have never seen the Milky Way

like you're going to see it out here.

Mother Nature really does put on quite a spectacular show.

FLIES BUZZ

Thanks, Dave.

A photo?

Incredible.

Oh my God!

Isn't it incredible?

STEVE: Hi, Mum.

Hi, Mum.

STEVE SIGHS

MICHELLE: Thank you.

Welcome to the Flinders Ranges.

Gateway to the outback.

NINA: Smile, Emma.

Good.

In the olden days they used to dig into this

with hand tools, ja?

Sometimes they went down to 50 metres.

Hmm.

Hey, could you take a photo of me, please?

Face that way.

Look at me.

Awesome.

How about a smile? There we go.

These are awesome.

Yeah? - Yeah yeah, definitely.

Check that out. - Oh wow.

One of these is definitely a profile pic.

You look beautiful.

Thank you. - No no, thank you.

How're you going, Wade? - Good, man.

Oh, wow, they're gorgeous. - I agree.

I agree.

Will you stop being such a child?

Hey, you all good?

Boys. You know.

Boys.

WADE CHUCKLES

Righto guys, should we jump back on?

You're, like, really good at photography.

Thank you.

DAVO: All aboard.

[GROW CAWS]

Ah, Iveco, Mercedes Benz

Volvo.

That's amazing.

You ever driven a Scania?

DAVO: Yeah. Yeah I did, actually.

The Volgren. - K113TR?

Ah, yeah.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, a bloody nice coach.

Awesome.

And then is that your parents up there?

Yeah. Dad's idea of a farewell tour.

He works in mining and they've called him back to Bonn

so Mum says I gotta finish school back in Germany.

So lame. - Oh, wow.

That's awesome. I would kill to live in Germany.

Really? - Yeah, absolutely.

Really? - Yeah.

Totally. - Germans are the coolest.

You know, they basically invented beer.

She... She's fifteen!

That's true. - And so much more.

They have an amazing art scene, like awesome bands

fashion, photography.

I think you'll really like it. - Yeah, it's great.

I mean, I guess that's kinda cool.

GIRLS CHUCKLE

So what do you get when you cross a German and a man?

What? - What?

A Ger-man.

That's terrible! You're so lame!

Oh God, I hope this trip doesn't go all college grads and Spring Break.

Three girls, one guy.

Looks like trouble waiting to happen.

It'll sort itself out in the end.

Might be a few broken hearts along the way

but people are very good at sticking themselves back together.

So what's your line of work?

I'm a psychiatrist.

Private practice? - Forensic.

I work a lot in the prison system, assessing inmates.

Oh, that sounds like fun. - It has its moments.

I'm mostly concerned with the environmental factors

that promote violent behaviour.

It can be genetic.

Ah yes, partly.

What, there's a gene for violence? - Yeah, it's called the warrior gene.

And it regulates dopamine and some other stuff.

So if one of the alleles is 30 bases shorter

and you've suffered abuse as a child

Then you're probably one of my subjects.

Yeah. So whether it seems reasonable to murder people

actually all depends on your genes.

You're very well versed on the subject.

Medical background?

Science. I'm a geneticist.

I launched a start up two years ago. - Really?

Yeah. It's still going.

Just.

So when people say, like he or she is somewhere on the spectrum

my company hopefully can pinpoint where.

Sounds fascinating.

They're doing amazing work. - Thank you.

We must swap emails, before the trip's over.

Sure. - Yeah, sounds good.

DAVO: Righto guys and girls, who wants one more song?

DISTANT CHATTER

STEVE: What have we got?

DAVO: Right.

So Australia's three great contributions:

plastic money, wi-fi, and insect repellent.

Ah, nice one.

You're gonna need it out here, guys

because the mossie's get as big as Cessnas.

Thanks, Richie.

We're going to get an early start tomorrow, gang.

Look, just one last thing.

If you have to leave your tent at night, just be careful of snakes, okay?

And if you do get bitten

just use a bandage to put pressure on it.

Don't wash it

'cos they're gonna need to take the saliva

from around the bite wound

to determine what kind of snake it was.

If it was a brown, for example

they're the deadliest snakes in the world.

I mean, they're all around here.

Try and avoid em, at least

'cos that would pretty much end the trip.

THEY LAUGH

Well yeah, yeah. - Great.

That's... that's really good news. - Yeah.

DAVO: I'll leave you with that one, you guys.

Sleep well. - Thank you, Davo.

Goodnight.

Is he joking? - Ah, no mate, no.

I really don't think he is. - No, he's not.

Tent? - God, yes.

Okay. Goodnight.

Goodnight. - Night.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, fellas.

Goodnight.

Night. - Sleep well.

We should probably turn in, too.

Can I just finish this?

Sure.

Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Are you alright?

Is it that obvious?

Are you married, or were you, ever?

Yes. I was, but not for long.

Long enough to know a happy one needs constant work.

Yeah, exactly.

Hence the camping adventure he'd normally do with his buddies?

Hence the camping adventure.

[BRIAN SNIGGERS]

It's me. It's um...

It's this start up I was telling you about.

It just sucks up all my time and energy

and I really thought he was okay with it and then just...

He just gave me the ultimatum and I was in total shock.

Still am.

Anyway, I should have known to save more time for us

but I just...

Oh, it's so boring.

Are you gonna bill me for this?

Would that be a problem?

Okay, I'm turning in.

Um, I shouldn't have had this conversation.

What conversation?

Night.

Goodnight.

My parents split up about ten years ago

so I went to live with my dad.

He got remarried to a lady who's a pretty strict Muslim.

And because of her, he got really devout.

I wound up couch surfing

and then I realised I had to come up with a way to pay rent.

And the one thing I love is to travel, so...

turned it into a business.

I'd love to get out of my place.

My parents don't get anything.

How do you make money off of a blog?

Advertising.

And it comes easy when you have a million followers.

What? You are famous.

I'm internet famous. It's nothing.

You'll have to 'like' me. - I do.

I mean, I will.

I will.

Right now.

There's no reception.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

REBECCA: They're a good bunch.

DANNY: Yeah.

Brian's an interesting guy.

Yeah, he's nice.

Is it cosy?

Why don't you get in and find out?

No, just leave that open.

Nice to have some air come in.

Here you go.

You good? - Yeah.

So, you think you'll survive the whole fortnight?

Yes! I'm actually really enjoying it.

Yeah? - Yeah.

What was that?

I don't know, it was just probably someone with a flashlight.

Nope, everybody's in bed. - Danny, can you not?

There's snakes and stuff out... - I just wanna have a look.

What the hell was that? - I have no idea.

[BIRDS SQUAWK]

REBECCA: Morning.

DANNY: Morning.

JOHNNY: Oh my God, that smells good.

No, it's a really good barbecue, eh?

See, the urn...

cast iron, um, plate distributes the heat evenly.

Yeah, no that's the secret, so yeah, it's good.

Haven't lost anyone yet? - No, unfortunately.

Davo, this is incredible. - Well, great.

Hey, so what were those lights last night?

Which lights?

The lights, that floated through the camp.

They were like two big headlights.

They buzzed right over the tents that way.

Tell me somebody else saw them.

Anyone? - Saw what?

I think Rebecca and Danny saw the Min Min lights.

Oh, the Min Mins.

Yeah. Um, they're these lights that just appear in the sky sometimes.

They follow you around.

A lot of the indigenous people think they date back to the Dreamtime.

Most whiteys think that they're a warning

but you know, I think that they're just some sort of natural phenomenon

you know, like ball lightning or the Southern Aurora, something like that.

Don't let em put you off your food, guys.

Did you see anything?

No. Nothing.

Yeah I know, me neither.

Hey ah, when you get back online

could you send me those photos that you took yesterday?

Yeah, um, sure.

I mean, I might have to crop em a little bit and add a few filters on.

Oh, I need some improvement, huh?

Well, just a little bit, here and there.

You guys want a plate?

DAVO: Yeah, we've seen them a couple of times before.

JOHNNY: Just out here, or...?

No, I think it's just anywhere around where's big, you know, vast expanse.

Righto gang, you might have heard

that there's going to be a comet passing overhead tonight.

Let's do a barbecue dinner at Ikara Gorge.

I'll cook us up a big feast.

It might mean a little bit of a late finish

but I can guarantee that you do not wanna miss these fireworks.

It's gonna be spectacular.

So general consensus, what do you reckon?

THEY CHEER

Whoo!

Done.

COUNTRY MUSIC

Hey, Richie? - Yeah?

Hey um, mate, I normally wouldn't ask...

but I need a little favour and you're the only one I can trust, mate.

Oh, the... - Sure. Just keep an eye on it.

Make sure that it doesn't spill from the nozzle.

Sure, yeah yeah, no worries. - Thanks, mate.

Can I get you anything? Energy drink?

Oh no, those things keep you awake, eh.

Oh righto, yeah... - And they're also diuretic

so you end up having to go to the toilet

every couple of hours or something.

We can't have that, can we?

Oh, perhaps just a juice or a soft drink or something.

Alright, mate. - Yeah?

Yeah. - Oh, thanks.

No worries. - Cool.

Thank you, Richie. - Yep.

I want to hear your comments...

This one taken, mate? - No, mate.

Ta.

Yeah? Where ya heading?

Oh, I'm going north. Alice, via all the usual spots.

Oh yeah.

Whitefellas and blackfellas and yellow fellas.

If you had wogs and towelheads you'd have the full deck, wouldn't ya?

Hey?

Yeah, Europeans and Americans, Canadians.

A good mix.

And a couple of horse's hoofs, eh?

Hey?

Dung bunchers.

Knob gobblers.

Yeah, good mix.

It must be fun, though.

You gotta pull their legs a bit, don't ya?

Take the mickey. A bit of a giggle, right?

Yeah, sorta. Yeah, yeah.

You gotta give em a fright, don't ya?

I mean, I got this ah, dead brown snake

in the freezer back at my place, right?

And if anyone camps nearby

I go out and chuck the snake into the tent, right?

It causes a hell of a ruckus, eh?

I mean, they shit their pants

then they go screaming out of the tent.

Screaming for their mummies!

Talk about laugh.

Funny. - That's bloody nice, yeah.

I mean I...

yeah, I couldn't actually do it with this group but yeah.

Oh come on, you got a freezer in that trailer I'd reckon, hey?

Yeah yeah, but I mean, my group have actually gotta trust me, you know?

It's part of the deal, right?

Yeah that's the job, is it?

Yeah. Yeah, that is the job.

I mean, they just wanna see the real Aussie outback

from a real Aussie.

Real Aussie outback from a real Aussie!

I oughta apply.

Who do I call?

What?

No, nothin'.

What, you don't reckon I could take a mob of soft cock tourists

on a real Aussie adventure, eh?

Yeah.

No, I just think your mouth might get you into a bit of trouble, mate

that's all, if you get me drift.

No offence.

No offence taken.

Anyway, I probably should get going.

I'll catch you round, maybe. - Yeah.

Have a good one.

Hey, mate. - Yeah?

Get fucked. No offence.

[MICK SNIGGERS]

Thanks for that, mate. She's all full?

Yep. Stopped it... - There you go, mate. The juice.

Hey, do you mind hanging onto mine for me?

Sure. Wow, this is a bit flash. - Thanks, buddy.

Jump on, mate. - Yep.

Oh hi. - It's just me.

Hello.

Want some?

- Go on.

WADE: Come on, Em.

Don't tell Dad.

Come on, Em. Couple of puffs aren't gonna kill anyone.

Hey, it'll stop the pain.

Yeah, I could use me some of that.

Hey whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Easy easy.

Okay okay okay, you alright? - You okay?

JOHNNY: Oh, hey, slow down.

Oh, no, turn it off! - You alright? Keep breathing.

Hey, don't be like that. It's good music to dance to.

It's ancient music is what it is.

What, so you're not a fan of sixties rock, then?

No. Are you?

JOHNNY: Oh God. W-w-warning...

Okay. He is a bass guitarist... - Oh.

So do not give your opinion on modern music.

KELLY: Wow. Cool.

Like in a band, or...? - Yeah, I was.

I'm a session muso now.

Most importantly, no more long tours interstate.

Oh yeah, hallelujah.

MICHELLE GIGGLES

Might head back to the camp.

INDISTINCT MUTTERING

THEY CHUCKLE

What do you reckon?

Yeah.

Sure.

STEVE: Ah, Kel, you gonna come?

Yeah, in a minute.

Okay.

Night. - Night.

MICHELLE CLEARS HER THROAT

DANNY: Hey, Dave?

Yeah? - You got anything made after 1978?

COUNTRY MUSIC - Oh, do you mean

do I carry any of that mass produced crap?

HE LAUGHS - Um, no.

TRACK CHANGES - Oh...

THEY SHOW AWE

ROCK N' ROLL MUSIC

Come on.

Yeah! - No, no, no, I never dance.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

You don't wanna see it. Come on.

You don't wanna... Alright, alright, alright, alright!

THEY LAUGH

MICHELLE CHUCKLES AND COUGHS

What? Oh man.

I got it in my eye.

BOTH LAUGH

You right? You have to inhale.

Oh, God! - THEY LAUGH

I'm so high.

Oh God. - Oh God.

Did Emma find you?

STEVE: Yeah, she found us.

Oh... - Hey, where's this comet then?

Shouldn't it be here about now?

THEY LAUGH

Let's get a drink. - Please, can you?

I can see it. There.

There, can you see? - No.

Just to the right of the cluster. - DAVO: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, where are the others?

STEVE: They're just over there. They're not far.

Hey guys, come and check out this comet!

Oh, wow.

Oh my God.

I need a shot of this.

MICHELLE: Okay.

You know, two degrees to the left and it would have smashed right into us.

Like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Weird things, though.

Before telescopes, we had no idea.

No idea.

The ancient Greeks used to think it was a warning.

Behave, or you'll all be burnt. - THEY LAUGH

Maybe they still are.

No, no, they are mostly a giant ball of dust and ice

with a tail of water vapour.

That kills the romance.

NINA: Let's go.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Man, I am still high.

Yeah, I noticed.

THEY LAUGH

And you're still flirting with Wade. - Mm.

I just find black men so handsome.

Don't ask me why.

Uhm, okay, would I rather...

shoot a porn film...

Mm-hm. - or be a cockroach?

Cockroach. - Liar!

I would. - SHE LAUGHS

Okay, this is a good one.

Would you rather give up sex for a year or champagne forever?

Oww! Ahh.

Champagne. SHE SIGHS

Yeah. - Oh.

Okay, my turn. - Okay.

Would you rather...

work in a morgue... - Mmm.

Or fall for a straight girl?

Sorry. Unfair.

Even for that game. - SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH

Don't be jealous, Kel.

I'm not.

You know how much you mean to me. - Mm-hm.

And if you do ever want to try a straight girl

call me first?

SHE CHUCKLES Please, Michelle.

Fuck.

Can't you see that this messes me up?

Not high any longer.

I'm going for a walk.

REBECCA LAUGHS

Oh wait, isn't this what we have a tent for?

Yeah, but doesn't this make you feel more alive?

Ahuh.

Oh, what about the others?

Do you want to go get “em?

Don't be silly.

This is perfect.

You're perfect.

DANNY: Ooh, I'm on a rock. - Sorry!

It's okay. It's okay. Keep going.

CAMERA CLICKS

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Put me in the mood. How about you?

You're always in the mood.

Ah, just when you're around.

You're not just saying this because I'm going to be around all the time now.

No.

As long as you, you know, really think about it.

This is a big step, Johnny. I mean...

buying a house, setting up together. - I know, Steve. I know.

I just...

I don't want you to get bored.

I mean, come on, you love being on tour.

I wouldn't want you to turn around in twenty years

and then resent me because you made this decision for me.

I don't want to be on tour anymore. I'm tired of it.

Wanna be with you.

Right answer.

Good.

THEY PANT

Oh, my God.

THEY LAUGH

We still got it.

Yeah.

We're gonna be okay, aren't we?

Definitely.

I love you, Danny.

I love you too.

BUS HORN HONKS - Mm.

Fuck! Do we have to leave?

You wanna do it again?

Hell yeah.

[RUMBLING]

How's the light? You need some more light there?

DAVO: Yeah, thanks mate.

Well that's a lot of oil there.

INDISTINCT DIALOGUE

How long's this gonna take?

Tighten it?

[REBECCA CHUCLES]

Hey. - Hey.

REBECCA: What's going on?

Might be staying put for a while.

Oil leak.

Shit. What if he can't get it fixed?

Ah, he's got a SAT phone.

We can always call for help.

Thanks, Richie.

Yeah, just a bit of an oil leak from the sump, that's all.

What, you mean the sump plug?

Yeah. - What is the sump plugs?

It lets you change the oil.

Well they don't come loose on their own now do they?

Nup.

Ah, probably just a, you know, maintenance error or something.

Boys have overlooked it in the yard.

But anyway, all good.

Five minutes, we're back on the road.

Oh, my God! - DAVO LAUGHS

DAVO: All good. - STEVE: Let's go.

DINO: Jump back on, guys. Get warm.

We'll top it up and we'll go, eh? - A fair bit on the ground there.

DAVO: We've got plenty in the back, so... - ISAAC: Okay.

RICHIE: Oh, do you want me to drop this?

Thanks, buddy. - Alright.

That's good. - Yeah, I'II clean that oil up in a sec.

RICHIE: Okay. Get the mat as well?

Thanks mate. - Mm.

ELECTRIC BUZZ

Oh, no shit.
