  Speaker 2: No, I don't, but it's a good fifteen minutes worth,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So strap you out then get yourself a blank. She's
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: a bit chilly out there at the moment, but she'll
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: be all lying out there for we run to see,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that's for.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Sure, it really will. And is there much going on
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: like in other parts of the territory as well, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: know at different times in Alice and some of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: other locations they've been events to.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right across the territories. So you've got nineteen events
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: taking place throughout you know, and that ranges from New
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Indomu communities right through to Alice Catherine Tennant. So Alice
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: is the same things that we're partnered with the show
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: this year. It's in conjunction with the other Springs show
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: at Black the Sky and full line up there too,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: so ban Chunky Custard through there and that runs from
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: five eight thirty. But it's yeah, it's a it's a
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: big gig. It's a big gig, there's no doubt about it,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and as it should be. You know, it's a chance
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: for us to celebrate this wonderful place we live in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and everyone get together and having I've got old bonds
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: of time.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be wonderful. Koren. Down there at Mendel, are
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: people able to still have their own personal fireworks or
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is it a situation where you sort of can't let
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: them off if you're at that public event.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: There's an exclusion going down there, Katie. So obviously at
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the front of mindle that's all regulated and let's be
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: fear the fair old, fair old piece going on out
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the front of there. So there is the zones down
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: each end of the beach that you can take your
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: personal but you know, if so, do it safely, you know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: But that's how it operates.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair enough. I mean, when you've
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: got families there to see the wonderful event that is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: being put on for Territory Day, the last thing you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: want is somebody to let off a firework close to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in our group of children or something like that and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: somebody to get hurt.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely want people to come, enjoy themselves, have a good,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: good time, get there safely and get home safely. That's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: what it's all about.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Current. How much organization goes into a daylight this, particularly
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: when there's nineteen events happening right around the territory.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a fear, but we're fortunate tooka that we've
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: We've got some fantastic partners and communities and organizations that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: we work with, so you know, and you know it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: been around for a while now, everyone's getting pretty good
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: at it. So, yes, there's a fear, chunk of work
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: on it, but it certainly wouldn't happen and couldn't happen
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: without the fantastic support from our partners, their volunteers, other
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: community organizations, councils. There's lots of people involved, that's for sure.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Well, Karen, do you guys get to have a rest
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: after Territory Day. I know it's been a busy old
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: time for everybody at NTA major events.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll take a breather for a few days and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: then we're back into it for ridging and ap and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: now from second to fourth to September, so you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: another another amazing event that we're really looking forward to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: as well. So it's a bit of a shame when
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it all wraps up, to be honest, and we get
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of months to reset, but we'll go again,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: no one, We'll just keep knocking them.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Out, wonderful stuff. The busiest crew I reckon in TEA
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: major events, always so much going on, and you indeed
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: head up the events and operations Korin, Honey, we really
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: appreciate your time today.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Go on you, thank you, thank you,
