I like seeing things like that.

Just little snapshots.

You know, like the city's a
living thing, know what I mean?

Like a big ant's nest,
is that what you mean?

Huh?

Like seeing people going about their...?

This and that.

Yeah, their this and that.

Their critter business.

Just a real hive of activity.

Yeah.

So what's your brother like?

Um, I don't know. Just this guy.

Like him.

Which one, the headless
guy or the thigh tapper?

More like the headless guy.

We used to be close, but.

I don't know. He...

Became a mechanic?

Became a mechanic, exactly.

Wish I could work with my hands.

It's very attractive.

Really?

Mm.

The work of hands is trustworthy.

Words.

Words are not.

Should we, um, go that way?

Yeah.

What time are you leaving tomorrow?
Are you leaving tomorrow?

I'm not sure.

Early afternoon.

Have you booked your flight?

- No, I'm driving.
- Oh, yeah, the car.

Thinking of going on a hike
on the way back down.

What's the car like, your brother's car?

Manual, automatic?

Manual.

Nice.

Me too.

You drive manual?

Mm-hm.

Oh.

Oh no.

It's gone to its people.

Had that water bottle for two weeks.

Where are you thinking of going hiking?

Do you like hiking?

Yeah, I really do.

Yeah, yeah, same.

Oh, hey, how are you going?

I'm fine, how are you?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Whoa.

Good to be out of the car.

I think that's the office up there,
so I might just go and see what's up.

All right, I'll come.

Ah.

Did you see that woman giving
birth on the side of the road?

Actually, I'm just gonna
go fill up my water bottle.

I'll just see you in there.

Of course.

You want a little coffee?

Sure, yes please.

- G'day.
- Oh, g'day.

Just thought that
I'd better let you know

that I'm not sure whether
they actually allow you

to camp on this lawn here.

Oh, really.

Yeah.

Oh, well, strange, they
didn't mention that to us.

Well I thought you'd wanna
know about that because,

you know, a couple of
days ago I set up here

and thought I was doing the right thing.

I thought a great place it was.

And then they came, to my
dismay, and moved me on.

Yeah, no no, appreciate
it. Thanks for the heads-up.

Maybe it's because you've
got a bigger vehicle,

like a four-wheel-drive thing.

I don't think so, but
maybe, you know, who knows?

Yeah, we were up
there just a while ago

and they didn't mention it,
but we could always go back and check.

Did you talk to them?

Yeah, yeah, we did.

I think she saw us come
this way, so, I'm not sure.

Maybe she didn't know you were here.

I'm pretty sure she did.

Anyway, we can always, as I said,

go and have another chat to them.

- No worries, guys.
- Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Yeah, I just thought
I'd let you get a heads-up

so that, you know, if you get all set up

and they come along and move you on,

you wouldn't have to worry about that.

Yeah, no, of course, thank you.

Thank you.

What do you reckon, should we move?

Well, what did she say?

She didn't mention anything.

Um, I don't know.

Do you reckon he was trying to?

That was pretty weird,

the way he came straight up to us.

I mean, pfft, why
don't we just stay here?

If she says something, we can move.

Yeah.

- What do you reckon?
- Yeah, I agree.

But do you reckon?

I reckon, do you?

- I reckon.
- Good.

Hey, you wanna go check
out the water or something,

go for a walk?

You wanna swim?

Maybe, no, I'm more just
interested in checking it out,

maybe go for a walk down there.

Uh, I might
just stay here for a bit.

Sure, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm fine.

I just wanna have a five-minute lie-down.

Yeah, of course.
Well, let me know if you need anything.

I might still go if
that's all right with you,

and then I can pick something
up for you if you want.

Yeah, no, no, no. I'm good, thanks.
I'm just gonna have a quick nap.

Cool, all right, see you.

Who's older, out of
you and your boyfriend?

What do you mean, what boyfriend?

I saw you drive in.

Oh, that's not my boyfriend.

We just ran into each other.

How did you run into each other?

Um, well, we were
both visiting Brisbane,

and we caught up for a drink.

You like drinking?

Yeah.

I'm just driving my brother's
car home from Brisbane,

but yeah, he's just a friend from Sydney.

We don't really know each other.

I just, um...

What?

I just thought it'd be fun, you know.

Are you having fun?

Uh.

I'm getting over someone.

Do you know what that means?

No.

It means, there's someone
out there who I love,

who I can't be with anymore.

Why?

Uh.

What's your job?

What about you?

What are you doing here?
Don't you have school?

I'm home-schooled, by my dad.

He's taking me on a
trip around the country.

And what do you think of the country?

I mean, it's all the same.

Weeds, trash.

Roads.

Rabbit shit.

I work for a regulator.

Do you know what that is?

Nope?

I investigate Australian corporations

to make sure they're obeying our tax laws.

Do you wear a uniform?

Not really.

Are you a bad bitch.

I'm trying.

It's not really about trying.

It's more about being.

Oh, all right, okay.

Nestor was just telling
me about the Boyds.

They used to be friends with the family.

Oh, the artist?

- Are they from Sydney?
- Yeah, they were from Sydney, yeah.

- Were you from Sydney?
- Yeah. And you?

Yeah, I'm from Sydney.

Oh, okay. You know, I grew up in Sydney,

but as I was saying to Ray, I think Sydney

was a much more interesting place then.

Hm, how?

Just more,

sort of intellectually curious.

There was a lot of discussion
around the evolution

of the culture in
Australia at the time and

people were willing to
discuss things and talk.

The doors were always open.

You could walk in and meet people,

complete strangers,
and have conversations.

About art, music, philosophy.

That's the painter,
right, Arthur Boyd?

Well my parents were
friends with Guy Boyd.

Yeah, Guy Boyd the sculptor.

And they were part of the
Bohemian set in the '50s,

of artists, intellectuals,
so we were dragged as kids

around all the different houses.

And, you know, made to
stay up late into the night

and listen to their discussions

and the smoke and everything.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Dad, can Alice
have a look at Mum's clothes?

No, I don't think so.

She's the same size.

I don't think so.

Yeah, she's the same size.

Yeah, but she's
not going to want it.

- I can ask her.
- What's this?

Lauren's mum, my wife, she passed away

about two years ago.

Oh I'm so sorry.

No it's all right.

She was a great designer.

She made some fantastic clothes.

We thought we'd bring her with us,

so they're all in the caravan.

We thought we'd give them to
people we met along the way,

but it sounds a bit
weird when I tell them.

It's not weird.

Can I give her a tour
of the whole caravan?

Yeah, that's fine, darling.

Doesn't worry me.

Just remember to turn the switch on.

And when you're finished,
turn it off, okay?

Okay.

This is my bed.

You sleep in the same bed?

Yeah, well, when my Mum was here,

I used to sleep on the foldout.

But this is way more comfy.

Mm.

Oh, wow, that's actually really cute.

Mm-hm.

Ah, beautiful.

You want me to try these on?

Yeah, try them on.

Oh, it's that soft.

I kept one.

Which book was it?

That's a good point. I can't remember.

Mm.

I've got it in the bottom
of my suitcase somewhere.

What is it?

Ah, Pessoa.

Pessoa, don't actually
even know what that is.

Pessoa, Portuguese writer.

Oh.

You sure you don't wanna keep
them, for when you're older?

Yeah, that's what I said.

But Dad says there's nowhere to keep them.

Well I could store them
for you, until you're older.

I have a massive garage.

Try these ones on.

Gorgeous.

Hm, if a man had stolen
a pound in his youth

and had used that pound
to amass a huge fortune,

how much was he obliged to give back?

The pound he'd stolen
only, or the pound together

with the compound
interest accruing upon it,

or all his huge fortune?

Hm.

What do you think?

Uh, I don't know, the
whole fortune probably.

I'd say the whole
fortune's probably impractical.

Well is it about what's
right or what's practical?

Well, it's in the context
of the Catholic Church here, so.

Is it about land?

I think it's more
just a general question

of justice or something.

Mm.

There's something
about reading in tents

I find so relaxing.

I find it too relaxing.

I always just wanna fall asleep.

Have you got enough room up there?

Do you mind if I put my head up that way?

This gradient's a bit much.

Yeah, for sure.

So, what's the plan?

I'm not sure.

I mean, kind of just do whatever.

Maps are so annoying, don't you reckon?

Mm I kind of love them.

You're so hot.

Your skin's so warm.

Is it? I think
it's just your hand.

No, it's your forehead too.

No, I think
it's still your hand.

It's all sweaty. I can feel it.

So you wanna go
for a walk or something?

Hmm.

No.

That guy Nestor
was talking about a walk

up into the national park, that'd be cool.

I thought about that too,

but I don't really feel like
going for a walk right now.

You feel like going for a walk?

Oh, hang on.

What?

Can we just slow down a little bit?

Oh.

Uh, yeah.

Sorry, it's just
going a little bit fast.

A bit fast, what do you mean?

I really just
thought we could hang out

a little bit more first.

Um.

Sure.

I'm sorry, it's just I don't know.

I just thought we could
hang here a little more,

not go so speedy.

Um.

What is that we're taking slow?

All of this.

I'm just a bit confused about

what I'm actually doing here.

Like, I don't really want anything.

I got the impression that,

did you think this was
like a full-on thing or?

Can you just, can you
keep your voice down?

Sounds travel straight
through these tents.

Why do you care? Who cares?

It's that little girl.

Who, Lauren?

Is that her name?

Oh, she was right there.
Just right there between those trees.

I don't see her.

She's spying on us.

Oh, this is hilarious.

What's wrong?

Nothing, mate.

Mate?

What's that supposed to mean?

I just,

this was a bad idea.

I'm sorry, just,

I need some air.

- She's out there.
- Don't open that side.

It's like 800 degrees in here.

You're obsessed with air.

So, they did
want you to move after all,

in the end?

No, no, we just decided
to, you know. Better spot.

They did, actually, they just-

Oh no no, apparently,
yeah no, apparently she did.

Oh she did asked you then?

Yeah, she asked
us. I just didn't mention it.

Why the hell didn't you mention it?

Why should I have? You
suggested moving for the view.

I don't know. It's just a bit weird

that you didn't even
mention it like at all.

Yeah!

She did ask you, did she?

Yes, she did.

Yeah, yeah she did.

Yeah, it's
just that, I thought that,

you know, I thought I was
going a bit mad, that's all.

Oh yeah, right, no worries, mate.

What time is it?

I don't know.

You don't have a watch?

No, no I don't.

- Not a wristwatch?
- What about your lady?

No, I don't think.

Do you have your phone on you?

- No.
- No, we don't, sorry.

Oh, well.

Are you going bush walking up there?

There's plenty of Aborigine
doodles up there, you know,

that you can have a squiz at.

But it's getting late
in the afternoon now.

And there's not really a lotta time for,

it might be a bit too
late for big adventures,

and I don't know what time
it is, that's the thing.

I don't know what time it is.

We don't have a watch.

Sorry, mate, I don't know.

Well, in that
case, there's nothing more.

I'll just have to, we'll
have to just never mind

about those things, and
there's always tomorrow.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

- I'm really sorry. I've gotta go.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh my God, is this too long and boring?

No no no no, I've
just got an appointment.

I didn't realise the time.
It's in, like, 20 minutes.

- I think I've gotta go right now.
- I'm sorry, let me get the coffees.

No, no, I'll get them, I'll get them.

I really have to finish
this story, though, because.

- Because what?
- I'll tell you later.

Tell me, tell me now.

Tell me now.

- No, I'll tell you later.
- Yeah, yeah, I've gotta go.

All right, my darling, I'll
call you tomorrow night?

Yes.

Or, no, gotta
go see my grandparents.

Like sometime this week.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes.
- All right, bye-bye.

Oi.

Man, I
completely fucked my back.

Rugs are really heavy.

They're not
that heavy, but if you're

throwing them around like that,

you gotta do it the right way.

Yeah, shit.

Sorry, man, I'm a bit grouchy.

Been on the back foot all day,

and started off a bit behind.

I hope I'm not putting you out.

No no, not at all.

Looking forward to this.
This is gonna be good.

I, yeah, I really appreciate this,

you hooking this whole thing up.

David's a funny fellow.
I think you guys'll get along really well.

Yeah? That's good.

I was gonna ask, actually.

He knows I haven't done
this before, right?

Yeah, I didn't
mention it to him,

but you just tell him whatever you want.

You know, I think it'll be all right.

Right-o.

Can I put the air con on?

Yeah yeah, yes please.

It still stinks in here.

I wonder if there's a giant
pile of shit in the street.

Things are falling apart, eh.

I reckon it was the police
horses on Anzac Day,

the Anzac parade, you know.

The parade, of course.

You and I can't
shit on the road, though.

Know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, we could
do it at night maybe, but.

What is that? What is
that, chicken, crispy?

How you been, mate?

I feel like I haven't
seen you properly in ages.

Yeah, I'm fine, you know.

Just pottering around, the usual really.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Been a bit of a shitty
year, really, but, you know,

it's nearly over, just
kinda looking forward

to it being wrapped up, you know.

Yeah that's what I mean.

How's everything? How's it been going?

I mean, yeah, up and down, I think.

You know, some weeks I feel fine and then

kinda feel like crap for a while, but

it alternates, I think that's normal.

Yeah, that's normal, as
long as you're all right.

Yeah, I mean,

yeah, what do you mean?

Oh no, nothing.

- Is there something...?
- I mean, well, to be honest,

I bumped into Sophie on the weekend.

Oh, yeah? Where?

- Just at a party.
- Yeah? Where?

Oh, you don't need
to worry about that, mate?

I'm not worried. I'm just interested.

Just at my mate Harry's party.

Oh, what the fuck, why
the fuck was she there?

She doesn't know those people at all.

She was just with her friend.

- You know, the real tall one.
- What, a female friend?

Yeah.

What was she, what was she doing?

Oh, we just had like a
quick, five-minute chat,

and I just, you know, told
her I hadn't seen you in ages

and she said I should
probably check in with you.

You know, she knows we're mates.

Have I done something? Have I upset you?

No, no, not you, I just,

I'd prefer not to talk about
it right now, you know.

Focus on what we're doing

and maybe another time, you know?

Yeah, it's okay if you
don't wanna talk about it now.

But can I be honest
about something with you?

About what?

Obviously, you've had a rough trot.

Your fucking long-term
girlfriend cheats on you,

and like, fuck.

But how long's it been? Ages.

You don't wanna be a clam
about it and just have

all these forbidden zones
that are off limits.

Are you working through it?

I find it helpful to
just move on, really.

I don't wanna dwell.

That's bullshit, isn't it?

Seriously.

To just like get all that bad stuff

and just lock it behind some door and

just go, see you later.

Your memory's like a big
mansion with all these

different doors, and when
you lock off whole sections,

that's when things start
to get real freaky.

Don't they?

What's funny?

If you don't deal with
fucked up things properly,

that's when things become haunted.

Like, I'm not trying to take the piss,

but you watch horror films?

They never end up good.

No, no they don't.

And look, I appreciate
it, I do accept that.

But right now, I just feel
like everything's okay.

I just need to sorta stay the course.

And keep going.

- Oh, what the fuck?
- Fucking hell.

What is that? What is that?

What the fuck?

- Fuck, pull over down here.
- Can I stop just here?

Are you stupid?

Just pull over down here.

Smells like shit.

It stinks.

Look at my hands.

What's up with them?

I don't know.

Shaking.

Oh my God. I know him.

- Hey.
- How are you going?

Good and you?

- Good.
- Good.

Nice spot you got here?

Thanks, babe.

What are you doing?

I just had some really
bad luck, actually.

My car broke down
in the middle of Oxford Street.

Fuck.

Yeah, but help's on the way, so.

Good, where are you going?

Oh, just a bit of a meeting actually.

A job opportunity.

Yeah, big opportunity, should be good.

Your hair looks nice.

You reckon?

Yeah, it's great. Nice job.

Thanks.

How have you been?

Yeah, pretty good, good.

Just like working at the shop,

and I kinda wanna move overseas,

like maybe this year at some point.

Yeah, cool.

I should probably run, actually,

but it was nice to meet you.

I didn't introduce myself. I'm Ray.

Hi, I'm Kat.

Well, yeah, it was
good so see you again.

- We should catch up before you go.
- Yeah, let's do it.

Awesome. See you.

Bye.

Who was that?

Oh, my God, that is so fucking weird.

My friend Alice like literally
just finished telling me

this full-on story about
him and this weekend

they had away and it was like...

Last weekend?

Well, it was like a month ago.

He was really cute.

- You reckon?
- Yeah, you guys were totally flirting.

No, no, like, that's just him.

I think he's full on.

Is he a bit of a weirdo?

No, I think
he's just like, earnest,

like one of those sincere guys.

Can you reverse?

Not really, Raymond.

Why not? Can't you just go?

No, it's one way back there.

- Where?
- On the side street, where you come in.

Oh, you could just go.

No, it goes straight
back to Oxford Street,

and you can't turn right
there for ages either.

Fuck.

Thanks for coming to get us, Carol.

Aw, it's no
trouble really, Miles.

No, it's very much appreciated, thanks.

Well, you've gotta be on
time for something like this.

Should I just go and ask
how long they're gonna be?

Call out or something?

Can't hurt.

No, that's rude, just yelling out.

Well jump out then.

It's fucking selfish, though.

Like there's clearly enough room

if they'd parked actually on the curb.

I mean, look at this
child's terrible posture

and his poor attitude to his work.

Just bad people.

It's fucking ridiculous.

Would you stop complaining
and swearing, please?

Everyone's here to help you,

and you're carrying on like a pork chop.

I'll do it.

Honestly, Raymond, when
are you gonna grow up?

I'm tempted just to leave you here.

And what are you gonna do with your car?
Are you just gonna leave it sitting there?

I think it's the one back there.

I think it's up
here, but that's all right.

We'll get out here.

Thanks, Mum.

Yeah, thanks heaps,
Carol, really appreciate it.

No problem.

You okay?

Oh, I don't know.

What?

- I feel really sick.
- Oh, fuck.

Can you walk?

Yeah, I can walk.

Good day, fellas, how's it going?

My friend's a bit sick.

We were just passing by, and he just.

Okay.

Just, uh.

He's just feeling a bit unwell.

Tuition of, lots of kids, violins,

kids with special needs,
that sort of thing.

Used to be in an ambient
electronic band in the '80s.

Hot Porpoise, you wouldn't remember us.

Hot Porpoise?

I love Hot Porpoise.

Legendary.

Cool, mate, yeah, that's good.

Oh, hold that thought.

That's actually very rare that.

This is my wife, okay.

You blokes just, sh, keep it very quiet.

Stand still.

Are you okay?

Yeah, we're just house
sitting here actually.

This is my brother's place.

He's a banker, corporate
financial services.

So what brings you blokes this way anyway?

I'm actually,
I'm meant to be making

a wedding video for this
guy, the guy next door.

We're meeting about now I think.

Actually, everybody on
this street's in finance.

Usury, in the old parlance.
Very strange people.

- Really?
- Oh, yes, indeed.

People with a lot to
hide, let me tell you.

I just sit here, mate.

Put on some comfortable
clothes, get drunk.

I ate the same food as him.

I don't know, should I,
should I have one as well?

Well, there you go, that's for you.

- Ate the same stuff, did you?
- I think so, didn't I, Miles?

Probably infected with the same thing.

Cheers.

Mm.

Hey, I'm Ray.

Good day, come in.

Mate, where's Miles?

Am I late?

Well you are a bit.

Miles is, he's been struck
down by this really bad,

this stomach thing.

It sorta happened just out
there, but then the guy

next door sorta saw us and took us in.

Next door? What, there?

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

- There?
- Yeah.

What the fuck is he doing there?

Mi...

Miles, is in there?

- Yeah.
- Well, we better go and get him.

Sure, sure.

He's in there, Miles?

Yeah, he's just on the couch, you know.

I'm sure he's okay.

No, no way. We have to get him.

We have to get him out.
Miles is in there?

- Dad?
- Yeah?

I'm here with Ray, the video guy.

He's here?

Where are you going?

Just here
with Ray, Miles' friend.

Do you wanna meet him?

- Hi.
- Hey, how are you going?

Good thanks.

Look, I'm sorry about this mixup.

I didn't actually know
there was a specific time.

Yeah, it was supposed to be 12.

You told them that, right? They knew that?

Sorry.

Mate, you have fucked us around a bit.

It's been an hour.

No call, nothing.

We didn't have a number to call.

Just would have liked
a phone call, that's all.

- Jesus.
- Of course, yeah, sorry.

All right, I'm gonna go and get Miles

because we can't leave
him in there, not right.

No, Dad, we have
to go in like five minutes.

All right, I'll be back.
You two get acquainted.

I'll go get Miles, and
I'll be back, all right?

Sorry, what was your name again?

- Ray.
- Come in.

Oh, sorry, you're Louise?

Yeah.

Sorry, it's just I've got
a fitting appointment

with the bridesmaids
today for their outfit.

- Well, I don't want to...
- No, it's okay.

Keen to get this sorted, though.

Well, if you'd like to move it or?

Oh, no, I'm...
Sorry, I don't mean to be.

It's just, I'm trying to
organise five people's

availabilities, massive headache.

Oh, of course. Of course.

So?

Yeah, so, we'll be shooting in here?

You'll have the reception in?

No, it'll be outside actually.

I'll take you out.

What is that noise?

Yeah, the guy next door,

he's got a pretty nice hi-fi.

He's got some music playing.

The ceremony probably
down here with an archway.

Right, perfect, lovely.

Yeah, it should be nice.

- Well, I knocked.
- There's no answer.

Do you hear that music
coming from the front?

I'm sure he's pretty fine there.

They were just playing
some tunes, relaxing.

Relaxing?

Is he crook or what?

Yeah, he's pretty sick, yeah.

He's just, recovery mode, lying
down, that's what I meant.

- Can we call him?
- Not really.

- Why not?
- He hasn't got a phone.

That's what I was trying to say.

Jesus, he's one of them.

Mate, what you need to know is,

we're in dispute with
these neighbors next door.

Really?

Yeah, absolutely.
They tried to build a bloody big pontoon.

Huge thing, wrapped around here, the pool.

A family, like tentacles.

Jesus, sounds dark.

Dark? We had to fight them off in court.

Wow, did you win?

Jesus, what are we gonna do? Lou?

We can't leave him there.

I don't know, and I don't care. You and I
have bigger things to worry about.

Maybe we should get him outta there.

Well, you can get him outta there,
but you and I have bigger problems.

Look, we would have
called if he had a phone.

You know, just avoid all the stress.

Look, if he's already lying down,

I don't see the point of moving him.

Maybe we should, yeah, let him rest.

Yeah, let him rest.

What the hell is that?

Sammy.

It's the bloke next door.
Apparently, that's music.

This is the video guy.

Come down and meet him.

Hang on.

So, this mustn't
be a bad little earner.

Video gigs?

Yeah, they're fairly,
uh, I mean, remunerative.

Is that a word?

You mean lucrative?

- Yeah, yeah, I think so.
- What did you say?

Remunerative. I don't think it's a word.

I think I just made it up.

So what, it is
lucrative then, is it?

Lucrative, probably too strong a word.

But it's a good earner, isn't it?

I mean, it's not piddling.

- Piddling?
- Piddling. Not piddling.

Piddling?

Piddling, pissy, puffy,
nothing, inconsequential.

Oh, no, it's consequential.

Yeah.

But where's it leading?

All over. Anywhere you want really.

That's sort of the beauty of it, I think.

Mate, let me ask you.

Are you a fan of mystery and intrigue?

Okay, so Brian is asking if he can take

the spare mattress down to the park.

Why?

So down to Jess' house. Jess' backyard.

Why?

It makes no sense.

The double? No, abso-bloody-lutely not.

He's not happy.

Well he can
bloody well stay not happy.

This music is driving me nuts.

It's a bit freaky, isn't it, this music?

Yeah.

Where are you going? Lou?

I have to make a call.

Oi.

Through there, yeah.

Oi.

Oi, oi.

Hey, hey!

Hey!

Are you calling me, David?

Oh no, Roger, not you.

Roger, that's Ray.

Come in for a sec?

Hey, hey, I got a drink.

Coming outta the sandstone.

Looks like the scary
music's here to stay then.

Ah, thanks.

Wasn't that queen pink before?

What?

Wasn't that a pink queen just now?

Queen's blue.

But, no, it was pink before.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I coulda sworn it was pink.

- I must have imagined it.
- Imagined it?

Pink queen?

You might wanna think about calming
that monkey mind of yours.

Put that monkey to sleep.

And stop looking around
for a second, will you?

Just relax.

Nothing horrific.

Nothing hidden or dark or weird.

Nice cold beer.

Just enjoy a beer.

Relax.

You can look at the ground if you need to.

Nice relaxing beer.

You better finish that one off.

A man can do what he wants.

But he can't want what he wants.

Let's go up and see my youngest, Sam.

She's thinking about studying film at uni.

Yeah?

Hi, Sammy. Just here with...
What's your name?

Ray.

Here with Ray, can we come in?

Yeah.

Whoa, Jesus.

What's that smell?

That smells like fried chicken.

What is that?

Yeah, it's KFC. We had a bunch.

Sammy, this room is
an absolute disgrace.

Anyway, this is Ray.

He's a bit of a film guy,
so I thought if you had

any questions, this would
be a good opportunity

to have a bit of a chat with him.

So, get a bit of work
like this do you mate?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, a bit.

Well what, events, weddings, what?

Well I worked on, I
worked sort of all over,

you know, all sorts of stuff.

But like what, mate?

Weddings, I actually try and avoid,

because the people can be a bit...

- Insane?
- Yeah.

Well not the people so much,
just the overall, ambience.

Jesus Christ.

Where's it going for you, though?

I mean, I get it.

Weddings, events, but
what's it gonna amount to?

- What do you mean?
- Well, where's it leading to?

Because I'm sensing
it's a bit, bit strange.

A hill of beans,
is that the expression?

- Yeah, not much, you're telling me.
- Oh, no, no.

Doesn't amount to a hill of beans?

Yeah, that's it,
but I'm just kidding.

What have
beans got to do with it?

A hill of beans is worth nothing.

Beans are worthless.

Beans are trash.

Watch your mouth.

What do you mean?

What do I mean? What I
mean is, this floor is beans.

The whole world is beans.

How about this then?

Would you agree with the statement that

videography is the art of illusion?

I'm not sure, is that a trick question?

Is that a trick answer?

Because what I'm looking
for is straight answers.

Well, I suppose it's all real, isn't it?

Correct.

Then again,
none of it is, because...

Because what?

Well, it's all smoke and mirrors.

Smoke and mirrors, eh?

Yeah.

Pink queens?

Fair enough.

So this is for you.

Sammy, can you pay attention?

At least you got rid of
that music from before.

Can you put
on some proper clothes?

These are my proper clothes.

Nothing we can do
about the music, all right?

Get over it. Just grow up.

When are we actually gonna
put these shelves up, Dad?

When you sort this room out.

Well if you do the
shelves, I'll be able to.

I was talking to Roger
about it downstairs.

He's pondering it.

Oi.

Oi.

Oi.

I don't think he'll do it today, though.

I mean, none of this is brick.

Pretty sure none of it at all.

If I tap on it or stick my foot in it,

I'll go right through it.

Yeah, okay, I get it, it's not brick.
But like, there's gotta be another way.

Super Glue?

I don't know, modern techniques.

Super Glue?

You don't understand anything, do you?

That's bean thinking.

That's just bean mind.

Bean cognition.

Bean, bean, bean,
bean, bean, bean, bean.

That one's my favourite.

Fucking equine excellence.

Did you hang that, Rog?

Roger?

Roger!

Mate, none of this is brick, you know.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's not brick.

Go gentle or you'll go right through it.

Just, easy.

Not brick, any of it.

How did you, uh,

how did you mount them if it's so fragile?

There's a whole art
in itself to making something

essentially weak and hollow appear

to the eye strong and unbreakable.

We've mastered it here.

Yeah, but how
did you actually do it,

like actually hang it?

That's a Roger question.

Roger?

Roger!

As long as you've got enough goons
like Roger around,

anything's possible.

Not brick.

We have all the freaky ones in here.

Ones we can't hang upstairs.

And my wife's little doodles.

I like this one.

Freaky, isn't it?

I like the freaky ones.

This one's fucked.

Just a bit.

Well, actually, completely
fucked the more you look at it.

You gotta wonder about people, you know.

Sick, mentally sick.

Don't you reckon?

Some artists, sick fucks.

Some people see beauty.

Others, trash and filth.

It's gotta come down.

What do you keep down here?

Skeletons, mate.

Get up. Don't worry about that.

Come and worry about this.

So it's dodgy renos, you reckon?

What, the walls?

Yeah.

I don't reckon, mate.

Absolutely, absolutely dodgy.

You just gotta wonder about
some people's mental capacity,

their ability, their fucking mental health

the way they used to do stuff.

Aren't there, laws, you know?

You'd think so. You'd
absolutely think so.

But they just came in and
knocked everything down here.

They moved the sandstone
around, knocked the walls down.

Completely trashed the joint.

And they did this.

Just fucked up.

I wonder what it was before.

Well, some sorta storage.

Probably a larder in the old parlance.

Oh, mm, like a butler's pantry perhaps.

Yeah, probably more likely a cellar.

Well, it's coming down.

We're just gonna knock
it all down. Bulldoze it.

Smash it up.

Smash it up, smash it down.

Smash it up, nice.

Smash it to fucking smithereens, mate.

She's a going.

Well, it's filth.

What?

- All this, it's filth.
- What do you mean?

Well, mate, bit of
fucking respect, all right?

Just a bit of respect.

Give it a little tap.

Ow, what the hell's that doing there?

- Geez, you all right?
- Dad, are we going or what?

I've been looking for you everywhere.

Well, been waiting for you.

I was just showing Ray where
he's gonna be setting up.

Just so he understands the issues.

- Oh, the shonkiness, yeah.
- Yeah, the workmanship concerns.

Yeah, calm down on that, mate.

Come on over here.

Just give the wall a
little tap, carefully.

Tap, get a feel for it.

- A bit fucking harder than that.
- What am I listening for again?

You'll know when you hear it.

Come on, harder than that, mate, come on!

Can't just be tapping it.

Oh!

Jesus Christ, what the fuck?

I said softly.

You said harder.

Oh my God, he's drunk.

Ow, fuck me dead!

Way too aggressive, mate,

just way too fucking aggressive.

Aggro.

I thought he was drunk. I
smelled it when he walked in.

- Are you drunk, mate?
- I'm not drunk.

I can smell it.

I can smell him from here.

- Am I bleeding?
- Where?

- On my bottom.
- On your bottom?

- Fucking spiky cunt.
- Whoa!

Darling, watch your potty mouth.

- Just take the beer off him.
- Give me the beer, come on.

Let's go.

Fucking dog.

What happened, David?

He just punched straight
through my fucking wall.

Don't you go anywhere.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus.

Feeling generous, guys?

Thanks.

The building
itself was commissioned

by William Wentworth.

William Wentworth had a
young daughter named Fanny,

and as they began
building, she fell in love.

She fell in love with an
Englishman, and they spent

quite a bit of time
together here in Australia,

and he didn't much take
to the Australian climate,

so they actually moved
back to England together.

Their house was then vacant

and rented out to prominent
figures at the time.

Okay if I join?

Sure, we are
kind of wrapping things up.

- Yeah, no worries.
- Okay, no worries.

I was just talking about
the change of ownership,

well, the property itself
was being leased out.

And so, it lent itself to people

who worked in the shipping industry.

As you can see, the beautiful
water in front of us

allowed us to see, as you
see the boats passing by,

they would come in and
dock and so you could see

what you needed to in the
industry at that time.

Yes.

I don't know if
this is a stupid question.

It probably is, but what
about the Aborigines?

Are they around here or what?

No, no, it's
not a stupid question.

So this area is, um.

Celeste.

What are you doing?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Sorry, just one second.

Miss?

That might be the end of the tour.

What are you doing here?

She's found a friend.

We've found friends, too.

Raymond, baby, Raymond.

How did you get here?

Poor darling.

How did you know?

Well, David's young
daughter was swimming around

and saw you stumbling up here.

She went and told David, and
David told Miles eventually.

And Miles got on to me through Christian.

Oh my God.

I know, what a saga.

Mate, Jesus, I wish I'd know
that you were Carol's son.

My wife, Liz, is an old
school friend of your mum's.

And I went to college with
your mum here at Sydney Uni.

Can you believe it?

Oh, really?

Same floor, just down the hall.

That's wild.

Oh, David, I'm sorry about before.

I just totally disgraced myself.

Yeah, mate, don't worry about it.

Seriously, it happens.

Can you sit up?

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Just give me a sec.

Where's Miles?

He's at the neighbour's.
What's their names?

They're having a big party.

Oh, oh yeah.

Another beer'd probably
do you good, chump.

I think we should get you home.

- Yeah.
- Can you get up?

Yeah, I think so.

You got it all?

Yeah.
