Video Transcription: (part 1)
Interviewer: So Amy, Tom, you two have been travelling around Australia since until October, 2010. It is now August, 2011, and we are in Mission Beach, in Northern Queensland, and our campsite is just over to your left. So tell me what are your top five favourite things that you've done on your trip around Australia so far? Tom: Turquoise Bay, Cape Range National Park, Western Australia, definitely up there.
Interviewer: And what's so good about that? Tom: It's free to experience once you've paid the national park entrance, which is like 12 bucks. You just roll up, grab a snorkel and goggles, and you can wade out.
Amy: There is a coral reef literally ten metres away. Tom: Ten metres from the beach, beautiful white beach, and you're above a tropical reef. It's amazing, parrot fish, and you name it, it's there. Interviewer: Okay. What's that called again? Tom: Turquoise Bay, and it's in Cape Range National Park, Western Australia. Amy: 20 minutes drive from Exmouth. Interviewer: So about nine days drive from Sydney. Amy: That's all. Interviewer: Okay, second best? Amy: This isn't in any order. Interviewer: No, okay. All right. Two of five? Amy: Hartley's? Tom: Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, maybe is it called? I'm not sure. Amy: Yes. Tom: That's in Tropical North Queensland, just north of Cairns. Amy: About half an hour north of Cairns. Tom: And it's 35 bucks a person. Amy: It is seriously the best 35 bucks we've spent. Tom: Yeah, the best tourist attraction we've been to. Interviewer: So why's it so good over other parks? Tom: It didn't feel like a zoo. Amy: It was like a natural setting the whole way around. Wasn't it? Tom: Yeah. Amy: It didn't have any cages or anything containing the animals. Interviewer: So, basically you walk with the crocodiles? Amy: We started off. The first thing we did was we went on a boat cruise in their man-made lagoon, and in that lagoon there are 18 saltwater crocodiles. Tom: One of which is the second largest saltwater, Australian crocodile in captivity. Interviewer: How big was it? Tom: 5.4? Amy: 6, I think. Tom: 5.6 or was it 4.6? Amy: No, 5.6. Interviewer: Wide or long? Tom: It's big. Amy: Thank god not wide. Tom: Believe it or not. Interviewer: How wide was it? Tom: It looks artificial. Amy: It was about the width of the troopie. Tom: Yeah, width of a car. Interviewer: Width of a car. And how high was it? Tom: Not very high. Unimpressive height. Amy: Yeah. Interviewer: Basically enough to eat a person though. Tom: Yeah. Their croc attack show is incredible. Tom: Yeah, it's in the water with the crocs. Amy: These guys inside of the swimming pool with a four metre saltwater crocodile. And he's in the water. Interviewer: Crikey. Tom: Yeah, crikey, indeed. Interviewer: Look at this beauty. Amy: In the cloudy water with this crocodile just lurking around, and he is in shin deep water just talking to us. Interviewer: He's obviously retarded. Tom: Yeah, he knows what he's doing, or doesn't. Interviewer: Okay, third? Tom: Lake Argyle cruise. Interviewer: Where's Lake Argyle? Tom: Lake Argyle is in the Kimberly. Interviewer: Where's the Kimberly? Amy: Northern Western Australia. It's right on the border of NT, Northern Territory and Western Australia. Tom: It's on the end of the. Amy: We're a little bit biased because we worked there. Interviewer: How long did you work there for? Tom: Two weeks. Interviewer: Did you make anything interesting? Tom: Money. Amy: That was very interesting. Interviewer: Did you make any interesting signposts? Amy: Yes. Thank you for asking. Interviewer; Oh, that's interesting. Amy: That was my little duty. Interviewer: Your little gift to the Lake Argyle community? Amy: Yes, yes. But you have to go there to find out what it says. Interviewer: Okay. Tom: Lake Argyle was amazing. We worked there for two weeks, and the last day we were there we went on the tour, and it was just breathtaking. It was far better than either of us had expected it possibly could be. Interviewer: What made it so good? Amy: And our boss, Greg, who we were working for, he was without a doubt the best tour leader we have ever had. Interviewer: Was he the skipper of the boat o something? Tom: He was, yes. Just the enormity of it. You don't realize how big it is until you get out on the water. The bird life, the wildlife, everything shows you the history. Amy: And crocodiles too. Interviewer: Lots of Swedish girls in bikinis? Tom: Plenty of whatever you want. Interviewers: Norwegians and Swedes.

Australia's Blue Mountains
Recorded December 30, 2006.
The Blue Mountains is a mountainous region in New South Wales, Australia, which borders Sydney's metropolitan area, beginning approximately 50 kilometres west of the city's centre. The area is generally considered to begin on the west side of the Nepean River and to extend westward as far as Coxs River. Consisting of a sandstone plateau, the area is dissected by gorges of up to 760 metres in depth, and has high points up to 1,190 metres above sea level. A large part of the Blue Mountains is incorporated in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site and its constituent seven national parks and a conservation reserve.
Included in this video is the Katoomba Scenic Railway, the steepest railway in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records. The cable railway line descends 415 metres through sandstone cliffs, via a rock tunnel with a maximum gradient of 52 degrees. Also, at this location is the Scenic Skyway, a glass-bottom aerial cable car that traverses an arm of the Jamison Valley, and the Scenic Flyway, the steepest aerial cable car in Australia. The video concludes at Echo Point and a view of the Three Sisters.
