00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.260
Hello, everybody! How are you?

00:00:07.300 --> 00:00:11.540
Now, I love to travel
specially with my friends.

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:14.820
And today I'm flying to Australia

00:00:14.860 --> 00:00:17.460
with my friend Mermaid.

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:19.620
Do you know where Australia is?

00:00:27.740 --> 00:00:30.540
Yes! It's in Oceania.

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:34.460
Australia is very, very far away,

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.700
between the Indian ocean
and the Pacific ocean.

00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:41.460
In Britain, we call it Down Under,

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:43.620
because is down on the map

00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:45.860
and under on the globe.

00:00:45.900 --> 00:00:47.460
For example. Look.

00:00:47.860 --> 00:00:51.100
This ball is down on the floor

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:54.900
and the ball is under the table.

00:00:55.420 --> 00:00:58.100
So Austraia is Down Under.

00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.740
I think that's quite funny.

00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:03.740
Anyway, would you like
to come with me and Mermaid?

00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.140
Let's go!

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:08.620
Hi, kids!

00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:11.540
There are a lot of places
to visit in Australia,

00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:15.300
but my favourite is
the Great Barrier Reef.

00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:18.900
It's full of life and colour

00:01:18.940 --> 00:01:21.260
and extraordinary sealife.

00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:23.180
And my relatives live there.

00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:25.780
Wow, what a surprise, Mermaid!

00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:28.500
I didn't know
you'd already visited Australia.

00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:33.180
Oh, yes! Australia
is surrounded by oceans.

00:01:33.220 --> 00:01:35.500
And on the Great Barrier Reef

00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.860
I have lots of friends
and my aunts and my cousins

00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:40.220
live there too.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.660
Yes, of course I can tell you
more about it.

00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:50.900
The Great Barrier Reef is enormous,
the water is quite warm

00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:55.140
and there is so much coral
you can see it from the sky.

00:01:59.740 --> 00:02:01.780
Yes! The Great Barrier Reef

00:02:01.820 --> 00:02:04.700
is on the North East coast
of Australia.

00:02:04.740 --> 00:02:07.660
The nearest big city is Brisbane.

00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:13.100
Well, I definitely think
we should pay a visit

00:02:13.140 --> 00:02:15.060
to the Great Barrier Reef.

00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:16.460
Yes, definitely!

00:02:20.860 --> 00:02:23.820
Of course. On our Down Under Tour,

00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:26.740
we should definitely visit Uluru.

00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:30.220
Uluru is a magical place
in the desert.

00:02:30.820 --> 00:02:33.740
Oh! I don't know about this Uluru.

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:35.660
Could you please tell me more?

00:02:35.700 --> 00:02:37.180
Of course, Mermaid.

00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:40.860
Uluru is a big rock in the desert.

00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:42.580
It's huge.

00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:46.140
And the funny thing about it
is that all around it

00:02:46.180 --> 00:02:48.500
is flat, except Uluru.

00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:52.580
It is a sacred place
for the original native people

00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:53.740
of Australia.

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:55.140
Wow!

00:02:55.180 --> 00:02:57.380
Oh, that's very interesting!

00:02:57.420 --> 00:03:00.660
But I don't know if it's
such a good place for mermaids.

00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:02.380
I don't like the desert.

00:03:05.820 --> 00:03:07.260
Of course, Mermaid.

00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:10.860
We can take a plane
from Sidney Airport.

00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:12.660
But I think you're right.

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:16.260
The desert isn't a good place
for mermaids. It's very dry.

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.380
We could go
to the Gold Coast instead.

00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:21.780
Oh, yes, amazing!

00:03:25.380 --> 00:03:29.940
So, as you can see,
Australia is a great place to visit.

00:03:29.980 --> 00:03:33.180
And in Britain,
we call it Down Under.

00:03:33.220 --> 00:03:34.620
And when you're travelling,

00:03:34.660 --> 00:03:38.860
sometimes you need to ask
for information or directions,

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:40.620
and the best way to do this

00:03:40.660 --> 00:03:43.500
is to ask:
'Could you please tell me...?'

00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:46.500
See you next time,
everybody. Bye!

00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:47.740
Bye!
