september, twenty seventh eighteen eighty feels goods weird
area like that. I just like normally to have more masculine, but I'll take what happened.
I still forgot the day,
number, twenty, seven! Eighteen! Eighty are you are you and now I can remember that
louis hubert lassiter.
Some people put their hands in their face couple. Villages turn
I think I'm going god was born
victorian count country town of fuck, this
as that near here,
I me now trying to do the ace correctly because it goes dear aids like weirdos, but gambie be baggy bugaboo
His mother agnes died of sunstroke when he was very young Jesus
That just means you left a child out notion
he died. A sunstroke gothic kid he's the store uses the stories about. That's it.
I hope you enjoyed it now that this one's about an infant death, what we sometimes start with people who aren't the main person- I don't think that's fair. We don't kill them optima
sentence like we give a little more time to run around I'm sorry to be treacherous of these moments. Dave
his father drank heavily untold people that his son was useless. Yet we ve been
both grown up, but that it is more people that are not that's. What gets you go and right,
He ran away from home at the age of nine years. Taken wonder why you may look it's not a great house situation, and then apparently this was also the you know before the niger
Hundreds even just run away at nine people will again come live with us in areas like no one looks into it or anything. You're just gone share, so cats, the musical children used to be like cats,
but fifteen in a man robbed a local store, low bow and a man father boycott weird pairing, as this sort of sling blade acts me, and I found a body, a crime body, a k.
a grown man with pupils and all that what site
fully fully developed male human sure, just super rockin cock and all that share still just hang up on the first depute ball of fire yeah. It's part of grown up pubic here, ok,
Look forward to a lassiter was sentenced a six month by month. He stole radical that six months.
It's dollar is answer six mama's
so
all the shit any and they had guns and his dad. This foster father. Whenever was turning over the cops,
it's fucked up last resents the six months, hard labor in two years,
the boys reformatory any escape within a year. Ok, so that's working! It's pretty well
the only nineteen hundred to travel to the EU s married florence alive Elizabeth Scott and became a mormon,
Always a good face. Anyone who goes to that that's a good faith, everyone everyone does and you run away to america. You join a new religion, yep for sure,
gonna, get over the emperor and the golden plates and complex
the rest of his life. He would spontaneously bird into bird
into american religious hymns. It's pretty typical australia right there with no warning yea.
If I can kick him off and I grant you dont know in their common right. Ok, that's always fun
all right, we're almost there not by his government that is governed by the law
governing down below those governing their own, and if we get these other too
Then I think we could just move, move the rest and then we're done.
What, if you like, better ribs,
Do you know
here's. What do we get the book of him some sick and making them up?
Knows I was going to say this is theirs alone. We learn that you had no religious backgrounds whatsoever. I went to church six times
yeah I went like so all I got
but what I, what I was on a summer vacation, my knuckle secretly squirreled me where the church for two weeks put me in some sort of church play
It was a weird summer break where you either walk out on stage and say shallow means, love and then walk away, and you didn't even get a good part as, like I dunno what the fuck is happening on the fucking saddam also than a cold. Sorry, no purpose very goes on. It goes love you, Jesus or whatever, whatever everything muslims
so I just yelled, oh my god, as if that was the worse insult to take it
ever hear? Nanda? What they're calling as terrorist so
at least a farm farmer new south wales. He worked as a reporter nike,
thirteen. He submitted a design for a single span arch bridge over city did I mention he came back to no justice at all. He had was sitting on the hams in the nineteen. Oh eight, he came back to australia and is our farm reporter who's? Just these are the farm.
back then a lot of people were farmers, slash, reporters Zurich, they had, none of us can coexist easily.
Alright? I planted the corn now to rip into some stories. Do some investigations
and I d thirteen he submitted designed for a single span, arch bridge over said harbour for years. He would call,
The bridge engineers stole his idea and owed him six months of work, so
Wait, that's what he wants back yet
all everything for me. I want to work for you for six months, come on
come out of it ass, all, that's not it,
great? I thought if you.
Threatened by that, like you stole everything from me good, I work
you just for half a year. I just I would really like to work besides you you're a hell of a guy. You got a great design. I don't know where you came up with that. Honestly, it just seems unbelievable.
they won't wait. He actually got a job working on the bridge construction, but was fired for arguing about how it should be built yeah. I why that's like having ear acts like but come up with your wedding like design. You know, romania, just somebody
You don't want me the whole time he's just gotta be like silly. I built this shit,
I do not say that the urban you know
If you see my drawings thought of this look at these, but he didn't they
they actually do when it doesn't matter. If it's just these insane say don't bring him to the party.
On his notes elsewhere.
during a long war, one lassiter tried three times
is to invest in the army. First he was rejected, then he's accepted. Then it was discharged as medically unfit. Then it was accepted again.
been discharged on the same day for being quote mentally deficient boy. That's all! That's a big day
Why did he get let back in the first time? What did
prove he he must allied there's a lot of lies back then to get into the army, at least in the
you just go now: I'm bird maybe like when you just in line he was later
could be like you know? I came up with the army. I was the guy who said what bunch of us should get to.
And the other people most, you must get
I got a bunch of sketches check him out.
Yeah, because only about six months of army,
I don't wanna, be weird about this. They also so what
quote he has marked hallucinations ones
joy way, that's a great one! Yeah! Well, that's sir! That's like serious hallucinations marked right.
Wants to join.
that-
get out of here, get the fuck out of here.
to join the flying corps. As a friend is going to present him with an airplane way. Why,
I think he was saying a friend was going to
men airplane, so he wanted to join the turn of the flying part of the blood. That's that doesn't matter army now, I think to him
yeah, let's be a part of this, my buddies got a plane. I think that's part of the hallucination thing they were talking about it. So he's got a wonder: woman, plane yep! It has
as a peculiar manner, and is constantly talking, I mean, gets it kicked out of all places?
He left his wife and re married without bothering to get a divorce. What we buy it,
one of those people on the dial up. Now snap are the people who are just like. I don't have time for paperwork. I love your louise. Let's do it at work.
So I'm a girl man he's got. What we should do is building bridges, make an armies. Yeas got fake. Armies
bridges who does it this new wife's, even real or the first? No one knows Tracy
With his new wife, the second one sure and then married a third,
in eighteen, twenty four also, you didn't didn't bother, get to dwell on this point and ITALY's made three two three different ladys writing.
but we as mormon. Would you apologize mormons? Shall I do one of my classic hymns
and I did twenty four- he changed his name to herald the bell lassiter and settled in sydney and worked in a pottery workshop for limbless exogenous. There
this pact with juicy details, David.
he changed his name to changes. First.
His first name was Louis Hubert and now he's changed its first names to herald bell. Ok,
Weird follow the last one.
Working in a pottery workshop for limbless ex soldiers. Now we are working in pottery workshop guides, seems limb, important and you're working with them.
Is it just like a ghost situation?
well, depending on the sort of behind just sort of like hey yeah, that's fun, isn't it don't get hard? Don't get hard do not? I told you that he got hard
They got hard stand up, stand up, his art
I know one limits and that's exactly what it's like. Okay, continue.
He's always struggling with debts lasted
was constantly writing to government officials with with suggestions and proposals. Now that's how you get on lists yeah during
what more one he wrote to the minister for defence with a proposal to overcome the stalemate in gallipoli.
You see my body has a plain think this could be
game changer for all of us.
Objection see the play under water.
rejection did not stop him. Finally, a frustrated official wrote quote
appear that you are unable to reconcile yourself with the non acceptance of your suggestion.
regretted, but the officers who advise are not without experience in these matters
His ideas were taken seriously letter after letter until october, nineteen, twenty nine
When you run a letter,
federal labour mp albert texas, green a boy. I should elect a texas what
He just does anybody etc? There. Nobody knows you from there. He was
I don't think I don't. I don't think that I knew that. I don't think he's being honest
I think, if you look back to his YAP and he felt bad for the fact that nobody knew
It was not like that,
followed by nothing,
They thought other people going to say to
found out by knows there'll be a bunch of years and then he could be like yeah yeah yeah come out of his way anyway.
Listening. You can look up on your home, that's homework.
you, maybe somebody email, that's what we're doing the package and we go about it. A great please more that fill in the gaps.
Dear sir, for the past eighteen years I have none of a vast gold bearing reef in central australia, but is absolutely
useless without water.
Taken over fourteen miles. A reef shows values of three ounces to the time. There is no doubt that five million pounds capital can be found in england to wear
It's mine, where the water difficulties can be overcome. Now I feel bad because this is just just crazy right now. What did he has visited this area as well
listen to the story. He suggested piping in water explained it could get it done for under two thousand pounds.
This is going to get the gold out. They got a pipe and water. This tells me his family email, pipe in water,
The middle of Australia just needs like two two thousand. What is the plan
The plan is like a high water.
It's your hose, probably pretty sweet, hozier and pipe it in, and then gold appears will know that now, there's gold there, you just the uni water to get out of the ground. He can't just hit it with you can hit. It
after water, a water that should so this is gone.
I think you have to water. You got water if you're going to get into the ground. You've got to have some sort of water situation right. Okay, so there's right. So there's all that gold and all you need is water, because his buddy has a plane. He didn't there's no plan. He he understands that. There's gold there, because of just a
intuition. No wonder you fuckin hang on we're gonna, but how does already well already going to get? There are right.
I mean why you why you, because I asked quest,
I wonder what the fuck is going on. Did you start asking questions,
curious. I want to know. Is this guy? No we'll get them. Ok,.
you're, right yeah. I just want to know what the fuck he's talking about
we are, but people did stumble into massive gold plans. Ok, but most of all the great depression had just hit. If true all this gold creek could create tons of jobs and make people rich, so the mp-
I saw a second opinion from a metallurgist, an industrialist with a reputation in the mining industry. He did not recommend the government fund the expedition but thought it was worth looking into main project water, gold, yeah, right, okay,
flag at the report, eventually made it into the hands of the prime minister, who was totally down heavily now
and enter the hand. I feel like we're. Gonna, be watering forgot that america and like four years- oh that's,
we ve been doing, I'm pretty sure we just blow mount
up and go our grab? The gold which shows kidding,
so into the hands
and into the hands of australia as workers union president, who was also totally into this and also super corrupt. I can imagine a union president being corrupt, close your eyes. Try to imagine.
In march, nineteen thirty lassiter went to the a w use sidney office to meet the president
Lastly, there is now almost fifty. He was bald short and stocky with a flat chubby face. As that lets
yeah he's just ball, the short stocky with a flat chubby face. I like the sound of this character, so he's hot.
face. How does your face flat? Thank you. Just don't have a lot of things. Sticking out.
I don't know just stop. Just wait becomes too much that has just started.
drooping on you like a melting, dolly cartoon, yet the gear for its present in a bit,
even with you. I would just and I've never I've. Never in my life of what I d like you to go the flat face.
I've seen planet these people, you know levies
Let's face it, you gotta help me up on a made a couple adverbs we could be beer baths. Where would we be I've ever seen the fuckin flatfish fox, not what the necklaces woman?
negative nancy, so last of ngos in the room and explains to a group of men
thirty years earlier, he decided to give the goldfields in western australia ago.
now he struck out doesn't seem like the kind of guy who sits on something for thirty years. Well, we'll see what happened.
Struck out from the coast, the other coast. Queensland wishes across the continent of us.
and at that time a walk that had never been done and maybe still
Not a walk, that's been done. He got lost,
happens. We try to cross our continent.
And his rations we're running out his horse died, and that is when he found the reef boy, so he found building plates a massive.
Quote: glistening with gold as thick as plums in a pudding
so this person just became animated domain. This bill
a cartoon mirage stuff might be the real deal. How do you know where I can?
questions are, you know, skippy the story of the greatest gold,
Austria and history and what happened to those lucky gentlemen, I answer it is twelve. Now I know what's happening or about to get a posse. Her is twelve feet wide and more than seven miles long. So a lot of luck,
golf golf ago, and you just need to get a sprinkler on it for an afternoon good little icons or just farting gold nuggets and then everything's fine beer hose it off. Just all other stuff falls
sir. You have go it's just like tomatoes, exactly it'll, be easy.
So he filled an oatmeal bag with gold picture and started back, ran out of food and water, but was rescued by an afghan camel lear, which was pretty common. As you guys know, in western australia yeah there are the paramedics.
He went back with a surveyor three years later following landmarks to get there and he found the reef again. Basically looking for horse bones yeah and when they returned, they found that their watches, so they go. They find the reef. They turn around to come back to like get the get, the exact coordinates, but then they're coming back and they realize that their watches were quote an hour and fifteen minutes off, which meant the bearings used to kill it calculate the reefs location were wrong. Okay, so that's a that's a problem: okay, well, tough, and they they tried to find investors, but no one wanted in
Eventually, the two men drifted apart and the other guy died. Two men drifted apart in life or on this journey, no no in life, so they came back and they told people about morons like oh. No, if you don't like nuts and the person who could
our aid, he say passed away. He passed away from gunshot right.
Now the men in the a w you offers are totally sold is fuckin amazing, but he's got a flat face, a good story. Let's get into business. What this guy
I did a math and their realise there could be sixty six million pounds worth of gold since a lot of fuckin yeah no pleasure, it sounds pretty grave error when real cute, who arrow could Errol cute.
Alright, he was a rogue. He was a reporter and an amateur pilot, also a reporter yep wow, so much in common, and he volunteered to be the expedition's aviator. So he's like all fly,
my body as applying said isabel right yeah only. I could see it so some
check with the department of mines and learned that a reef known as Harding's reef had happened in the same area? Harding just happened with the name of his friend who died K to maybe it's maybe some goin on here I mean water gold project. This gave lassiter some kind
ability. Why just says there's a guy with the same name. Is that it as the reef? So it's like an actual like that's, not
deal that sounds like quite a march is, of course,
that's, got the same name as the guy. He knew it's quite a coincidence. Dave it's just that lives might be on the line. The aid w. You president started making plans to establish an exploration company he reached out to fret blankly fretted grown up and broken,
I realise what that means whereby put in their occasionally
worked in a slaughterhouse where he was paid in cuts of meat. That's always the ets great relate nineteen islands were awesome, one for the customer, one for the doktor.
I quote a sheep said half a dozen tongues. Perhaps a liver blood must was my weakness. What was his weakness? Lud doesn't go
you want with you on a potentially starving journey,
you know what I like. Our heads and blood
anyway, when the going gets stuff, all figure out
after working with all the
Fred got into mining at the age of fourteen, which is the right age to start for sure, get down their natures canary bird
Fourteen year olds down everybody out, Kate, the canary out the kids dead. We just
the little birdie didn't we didn't. We use you gonna, be ok, gonna, be fine, my son's did but you.
Fred met with lassiter and start in autism discrepancies in his story, interrelation issues, well, small details would change and there are gaps that didn't really make sense to dread. Whenever fred question it lasted, a water would report
I quote, if I told you that you'd know as much as I do, and you would have wiping the vast cover. That's the vast. How can I tell you.
Made me if I tell you so I'd buy that ability, cities ruin parent, let's keep up,
So Fred was suspicious of last winter story, but he thought it was worth investigating and agreed to lead the expedition. The? U w,
president set up a meeting with sidney businessmen who lassiter told the story to Charles was a famous aviator and he questioned the watch story and said with adjustments. They would that would just put the reef in the Middle EAST.
indian ocean genre,
as now drew dress me its pleasure there. It's,
the same name as by buddy who died, I may
What more do you need?
you water it it's a whole thing.
I mean why this way, next time we have large Obregon ass, all is pretty obvious. Get out of here nobody's gonna
lassiter said he could find the reef by landmarks. The adjustments that matter the whole quote:
If you would seen the country under the commission's idea, you would never forget those landmarks. This is like trump.
He talks about sources. It's just.
You dont, there's nothing, but you just like someone said it like worker. Warm and surely seems confident, sunlight,
The investors roar their approval in own back down. He said he would invest, but he be happy to provide advice on aerial surveying and everyone in the room. Applauded quote
simpler times when that was rousing, everybody good work all right,
off our separate ways. We go quote the room buzzed in the past,
proceedings, everyone was talking, gold eyes were bright, lips are being licked, workaday cares were forgotten, everyone was gazing through the
gates of prosperity and each man was trotting along. The streets of gold sounds like you're gonna have chap lips after this celebration
go, go, go, go my name! That's taking to the streets of shares.
shares in the new companies sold out and just forty eight hours by those excitement in the air. The gesture
The central australian gold exploration company was in business. Somehow
former royal air force pilot charles lex Lexus Burlington was brought on.
He was an experienced mechanic and had worked in gold mining through his connections with the british truck manufacturer, thorney croft, they're great. What thorney, Croft they're awesome someone's really having a good time up there. He got an expensive six wheeled heavy duty. Military grade truck designed for middle eastern deserts, Jesus he's not they're, not fucking around for goal yeah. Until they get to the end then they're fucking around. Then they have gold, don't they sure yeah if they have enough water to make it grow,
Fuck they're talking about you, couldn't he couldn't. He tried so hard to hold that in and he thought
he's gonna get a beggar reaction at it.
They came out of it. Didn't get, didn't goes well, he thought it worth
could who wanted to be the pilot immediately hated charles alexius Burlington?
Names a problem right off the bat it's pretty monsieur burlington yeah charles, what's his name charles legacy, just a burly here, that's fancy was cute, wants to be the pilot.
This guy's an actual pilot, and this guy knows stuff so automatically
I gotta, like him, save smart. Three word name skype prick written all over it.
Is the first time we went shit go south. What yeah no give it to me get away from! It will eat him first now, there's no
sitting of anyone. I don't want to hurt anyone either, but if push comes to shove,
get out there, but it's dangerous choices might have to give made way. For me, I'm just saying that when we go for.
I'm not being weird you're, you're you're, going way too quick to people eating my god? I said if we're lucky, we'll figure it out when it's time to eat someone whatever that's actually a good time to do it great. I have a rose ceremony of the whole thing, we'll figure it out. However, you want to do it when we get there just sayin or fancy pants, probably get some good meat on the bone.
But coot had led his pilot license lapse, so he he had to try to get that fixed. Then out of nowhere, lasseter announced that he would withdraw from the expedition if Charles went along. So Charles was kicked out okay, but they still had the thorney croft truck. Oh god wait. They just have a toy.
the actual truck. Yet no, that's what I mean, but now they don't have anyone competent really developing from like fancy pans was the one person I think
We like no not like that, like this now
Well, I can't see got better controls again, burger, we'll figure it out. We get there.
I am not saying that as an issue, a team
six man was job? That's the catchphrase. Let's drop, it then
of six men was finalized. Fred would be the later. Lassiter would be the
official guide coat was the pilot phase.
Taylor, young englishmen, was the mechanic. George said
One was an experience prospector and then there is captain Charles breaking turn Houston, who had the water a distinguish british soldiers of the expedition?
air support a military, great desert vehicle and a portable wireless transmitter enabling real time communication with the businessmen in sydney that still how life I works here. What happened?
What happened you know we're do another step around the world through the internet, where they got functioning situation. How long would you like your vile uploaded to
thirty days. We could do that, we're australia, relation of healthcare.
regulations for yellow that out better some
you can't get healthcare down
we are not saying that this is a.
Fear contrary, but your wifi is not great.
I think, that's where we're just now about wifi had not high everybody's dying. We
We know that we're going to die in a nuclear fire, but
it's all of our shouldn't be downloaded.
A temporary airfield.
About one hundred and forty miles, west of Alex springs would be their camp. The? U w a president wanted insurance in case lasted or died. Oh that's interesting! So he convinced lasseter to leave a sealed envelope
in a bank inside was a note with coordinates of the reef written in invisible ink.
my god what
yeah, just get the other business link up. Is that good, write that down
nip it in the envelope
I love you die. They take. Ideally the bank. Get you see it's just you in a guy invisible ink, degrades
and how does over time? In sorry, just let me know the rules of hogwarts. How does her magical ink work? It's made of invisible? How does one get it to appear? Oh.
Oh, no! No, I don't know, I Don'T-
there's. No, I don't think
it's actually a solution to that one right now, but I think I would imagine that has awakened some sort of chemical and then you pour another chemical on it. Then you can see it sure I'd! Imagine to I'd. Imagine a reef or gold lives. Imagine all the bullshit don't start with me and the visible link. So when they read that Alice springs, Fred brought out earnest all church all church had a vast knowledge of the region. Okay, Fred knew
when introduced all church to lassiter who stoutly started babbling and discussing the last time you pass through in the buildings he recognized face, just give it gets nervous and get here
oh yeah. I know that place too. That's my favorite spot. I love it there and I'm not talking.
but there are neither, I know I know I know we're gibe. I thought of saying there, my god, why do you keep bringing these assholes around? No, it oars.
I sort of pointed out the general store and recalled buying supplies there. Thirty years earlier, all church said he was wrong. The buildings were only twenty five years old. So at what point are people going like this guy's full of shit? Lasseter said he picked up fresh supplies.
from the telegraph station and all church said he had been there for forty years and never once had he issued stores to anyone. Fred then pulled lasted away and scold him scolded him for talking nonsense to all church. He thought he was just bragging to all church and not that he was the he thought he was lying. He know he thinks that laughter is lying, but he thinks he's just talking bullshit to try and seem like cool and for an altered right and not the fact that he knows nothing yeah. So that he's
the man who has access to invisible link, that's real! The locals warned that the thorny croft truck would not make it a hundred miles in the desert and said they be better off with camels. They figured the locals did not understand. After all, this was an irregular track. It was a state of the art piece of british.
engineering as its just like one of civilian breaks out of the bag mobile. That's what I'm expecting to start happening here, explain that she's gonna be like what the fuck is. This like, I said this is catchphrase I'll, be jumping, so the car, the trucks too complicated, is where's yeah. They don't
What they're doing they took the thorny credible that a lot of these guys do know they're doing their experts, but not the people and at the helm, whose only wise agreeable to know the one guy is not last year, lousy, evidences of expert.
like literal expert, but still a problem now why it's fine, because that's the guy in charge
we're experiencing something similar in certain areas of the world, while so the only guy so he's not in charge he's in charge. Eve he's he's the guy who's going to take them there, but he's not in charge of the expedition like another guy is officially in charge. Sure
So so they think it will make an hundred miles they tom these camels. Then they took the thorny craft out for a few test rise and found it used a shitload of petrol to run
So now they had to buy a second vehicle to carry fuel for the thorny crop. So what's the point,
That wasn't everyone. My question, that is a very interesting question. Well, this they can't make it will shit. We can.
You're fuckin idiot. I don't know what do we handle that
so they hired a local guy, Fred Carson who owned the track to join the team and drive the gas by the authority crop
what could I do a whole advantage? What I've got now, but the whole the hope, the advance
is that they have something: that's bad ass, another like every other truck following us rose.
a good plan right, but it's a plan. Thank you
good was mad. Another guy join because it would put the gold seven ways in france.
We're always fighting fret that coup was a clueless city dandy with a hothead quote. He wore boots like girls where to ride in it shows he did not possess the right temperament for such a trip. What so he's saying that he's got like fancy boots that you were to just show off and not actual functioning boots? Okay, so
They look hard and kind words of welcome that and I feel it is at the root. Take off those pansy, lady
which command you to look professional.
so so
your parading around all the time. I know what you do and to have been spent around
Let me see that she could
fred was that fred was a week, ineffectual leader who is stuck in the past and didn't understand the value of modern technology. Could
and secretly started sending telegram, so the company directors and city criticising freds leadership and kissing him of plotting to double cross the company. So I bought a bought, bought he's a bodies just like some ran.
In the twitter problem is just like somebody's somebody said this or he's an under he's undermining him right. I'm aware that's what my point was as if I was confused, what a bot meant saying like a russian bot, yeah yeah
What do they do or he's just he's like anonymously season anonymous source
oh anonymous source, why yeah? Okay to the point gotcha feels like the irons cold they set out on July twenty. Fourth, nineteen thirty, as they crossed a dry riverbed near the post office. Taylor lost control of the thorney croft and it got stuck up to its axles and soft sand. Okay. Well, at least they have the gas truck so they're, not out of the town, yet right and they're right the chest in front of the post office.
sure and the thorney croft is stuck sure, but it's good to get these kinks out early, oh and in front of the posts
the office will surely they're gonna be helpful. The entire town
then came out to watch as the train struck team struggle for an hour to push the truck ring. So at this
everybody on the team. At this point like ok, maybe this is not a good idea, I think so I mean they must have been, but there's no indication of it. Ok
you would think has literally an hour and of a journey
Not even in our power to the journal like two minutes later than an agenda, the journey I didn't get out of the town, it's not even the journey has even started, so they literally just started is like tat rove into the garage and fucking crash. The car, like it's just the first night,
lassiter locked himself in the trucks cabin he slept on the bench see clutching a gun.
Box of ammunition while everyone slept outside so did any as any, but he worries seems normal.
seems like a guy. I spent a lot of time in the bush yeah sure. So that's how he likes to rest,
Alright? Well, I'm going to go cuddle a gun in the front cab of the truck have a good night. Gentlemen. It's my white noise. It really got it relaxes me. I just the next day they stopped
the camp to hire a local aboriginal guide, but all the guys were out except mickey cept, who mickey
Nicky was forty five and almost blind with tacoma.
My board
applying guy. He was
totally unfamiliar with the land they were traveling doesn't matter anyway. You can't seizure,
so they hired him. If anything,
the sentence or says is our heightened. We made
We call this one maps
I got so no more he's mackay
they adorable blind, tore, guide who's, never been there doesn't matter. So
our going. The thorny craft kept betting getting bogged down in the sand and caught in dense scrub, its tyres are being shreds,
Buy sharper more go routes, oh man, those fucking mogul ruler, aren't they I mean. I can't tell you how many trucks I've lost out. There
barely make is helpful in these times of I promise our I let me now address it I'll do what I can make a big issues out there
I think we're gloves
We have enough the town area, that's like black, arrive, its black
I totally midnight when those no mon. Now it's like noon.
We need
this way, indifferent,
chest yeah right over here. That's all
Gotta, go guys, trust mickey I gonna do.
a tree, I'm so sorry I had now where's. The group is the group here. Is the group even here.
We're gonna need. Notwithstanding our sorry, I didn't mean to say they, namely undermine run your pay right. I think it's there have we left the room,
will you finding I pointing out the town? I'm all the entire right making needs a copy. I am just search after a few days last there was recognising landmarks-
it's a good sign as a great sign. One day pointed out of the cave saying he remembered camping there. Oh yeah, I used to care for that one
Fortunately, the cave was six hundred feet up. A sheer granite, cliff.
It's possible totally possible later. He patted the trunks.
Of two been trees, claiming he hung his hammock between them over thirty years before an exhaustive being trees, never break
these two
free is
the only live up to twenty years.
They have their fathers eyes. I'm a hundred percent- these are them when fred,
pointed out the problems with his story, lassiter flipped out and screamed at him quote. You know everything,
that's a good sign right? Yeah?
No, he seems like a competent leader.
Fred ass. Lastly, to tell him one landmark: there was ahead of them and lastly, to refuse to answer now and went and got in the thorny craft insult
now, I'm logger myself do up you're happy now
marks for you.
Making the only one who knows what I'm talkin about
giving the same beech trees are. Thank god, my god,
I'm gonna like met all the shadows and making shut your mouth five days of darkness. All these are the one day the party set up camp, for I decided it was a good time to use the portable wireless to transmit his first report to sydney, oh god,
Now, fortunately, lassiter had taken a three week, wireless training course and how to
is it before they laughed so he also packed up all the equipment
so when they impacted they learn. Lasseter had forgotten to pack the microphone while Dave is that important and yeah it is yeah, it turns out. If you don't have a microphone, you can't talk to anybody. You can hear them right so that accept
might be a problem, another red flag, perhaps yup cake, will be of some service potential to help. No mickey is just terrified running in circles
Also last or had left out several glass valves from the wireless transmitter that were needed. Well, I made that. Does I made at that point. You just nit picking a mini forgot. The microphone I think I got already
I could go on and on about these bulbs and then, when lasseter started connecting wires to terminals, the entire thing short circuited dope boy that acme oh boy, yeah. I got a good feeling. Yep taylor and coo exploded at lasseter for
had to step in to split them up from fighting how far aware they from the original destination. At this point, what nobody knows
right, but I mean like: are they in the that they have? No,
where the final no one knows accept or lassiter who nothing now he knows who spend their right, but
in the world where he doesn't know. Nobody else has any idea where the fuck they are, that all he's the only works. If we're making who's the guy right, making who's the blind guide. Ok, ok, Cool said he thought lassiter was playing. Them was playing playing them. Ok, lassiter was starting to irritate the group by making strange when he got em all killed
improbable boasts such as one night. He recited a rudyard kipling. Poem then claimed that he had been responsible for making kipling famous up like at that point. You're just like wait did he just say he made kipling famous we're going to die
going to die, know I'm the one who told them to get into that. It was
driver when I met him, I said Kip Bab. Now now
ANG get a pen in your hand, give that a whirl next thing you know about a boom bomb air is
anyway, we're gonna be fine. Once I get those microphone situation, work done quote well, he said it was a famous rob.
Radio operator quote I specialised on kipling over the radio and I went down very well.
very patient charles lost his shit one night and started screaming at lassiter quote: go away,
no. I mean this.
he does just sound like the most annoying person. Like it's one thing, if he's totally lighted fucked everything up but is also the worst charles stormed over to cool and said, quote the man's a loaded
He claims to have designed the harbor bread, but they know this
I think they knew that they didn't know about their like wait. What.
Yeah sorry design that bridge, oh god, as the party near the airstrip camp, the second truck broke down. That'll, be
the men fashion they sort of battering ram from a mug tree and tied to the front of the authority craft and tried to bulldoze the scrub while at work
the thorny croft, took serious damage and was now almost on drivable, so not get mickey. The aboriginal guide became uneasy.
who is making losing is called the situation you ve gotta be going crazy. I don't, I think, we're fucked making. What
Here's uk sierra back. What do you mean we're fucked
I was really bad this bad. I got a bad feeling about god.
I can't say it, but I don't like it.
you're wrong.
Lassiter continued sleeping every night locked in the trucks cab, what they rifle and ammunition because, of course he's the only one book was terrible from the gets areas like I was living like a goddamn baby. Their progress got
Even worse, when the thirty crops engine caught on fire, ok, so what
what can they use to leave now, while they make? I mean they put out as thing it's still functioning, but it's not great. After two weeks they reached the camp location friend that said, coot and Colson
to drive back a hundred miles to a playing at an airstrip fred was planning their big push west
Lastly, there was still the only one who knew where they would be heading and he wouldn't tell anyone anything. He just go.
messing with the wireless
the next day, the better the next day, Fred discover
Lastly, there was tapping the s s signal into the wireless which was
pointless because the wireless was dead, but he's still does a trail. He did
nay, believe fred was furious. He threatened to destroy the wireless with an ax unless lassiter packed it up
carson return and told everyone that could whose amateur pilot licence was lapsed, collected tree taking off causing,
plain to crash knows first into the ground. I gotta say it's
this: is the spider webbing
the bad hiring
good survive fall.
nowhere goods
but other serious tie wound. He had to be.
back to our springs, to get medical attention.
Fred was further learn them.
Learn the company's directors and sydney were concerned. Does is cool cute found out the company's directors and sydney were concerned, word was out and they would be beaten to the reef by other prospectors know what that's like. I have a problem.
Good lord, if only they knew right now, you'll be fine. Now no worry fred sent Coulson back with his report and a request for camels. Well, that's an interesting turn around because in others it's his five sons, five remaining expedition numbers, fred, sutherland, mickey taylor and lasseter
one night later invited fred into the thorny crops. Cop car I'd like to see you in the captain's quarters. Please lock the door. Are you high fred feel like we should talk about some stuff quote by my calculations? We are approaching my country, so
Somebody else, may I thank you. He said the roof was one hundred miles ahead and he would be able to recognise landmarks soon. What must be going on inside of his head right now, like it's all kate, like the bridges finally getting built, and he needs to actually do it he's a hundred is right there
they're. So what is here what is going through the mind of a man, fred or lassiter lassiter like what is going there is head now that he's like close to his bullshit mine,
like he's gotta be like this is gonna, be tough when we get there to explain. I dont know why you're assuming it was here boy. This is
being tree all over again. I tell ya
no wires serving mrs skeptical. Then last
abruptly change, the topic opened his diary and begin
to read aloud and entry. He had written about fred,
he's just a huge ass. All he's not just crazy, he's, also a huge asshole,
The entry was very harsh. He then flip the page and read it
later entry about how he judged friend too harshly, what a weirdo fred just sat there,
While lasted a red entry after entry about all the members of the party, what
in saying that he was not being given enough to enough say the next day they kept moving through the desert.
well, with more attention
lassiter announced they would soon be
entering a fine
in mineral bearing country and sure enough. The landscape changed.
Sutherland began noticing courts in ironstone in abundance. The party grew very optimistic for the first time since sidney
they started seriously discussing mining.
summit last started scribbling complicated calculations, and then he declared quote well. I'm dan at these figures are not
same bearings as those we left in the vault back in sydney, the invisible like paper, so it matches the thing that nobody can see her facts. Yes, he told fred there would have to go one hundred and fifty miles south in order for them to get
bearings. Everyone in the party knew there was no go that far south. There was just know, everyone knows: there's! No all air lassiter then admitted he had been misleading them.
oh my god, but only dammit, because
suspicious of one member of the party, my god,
he's reservoirs raw dogging them that almost came out. He asked afraid to trust him with a little bit longer
hey so he's he was just like he's like one of these guys is not, he said, there's just a fred yeah, I believe so I would imagine, but he he's basically saying I would have taken a straight there, but when he
I said no, but while they got em all here, we gotta we had about
I'm trying to shake them all out, I'm not idiot or crazy. I'm trying to find them
we all know there's another two hundred fifty miles stupid. Right and I'll be honest. I think it's. Maybe I don't know.
I haven't like the weather, guys, look at me the whole time. I don't. I don't trust him. Why do we bring him? I mean
what I keep coming back to wisely year. Working
right, yeah
we were in a cave, Fred really didn't have a choice if he called out the expert
Lastly, we claim he had lied because he feared the others were plotting to double cross. The company and friend would get the blame, and, lastly, there would look fine freddy, give agreed to give lassiter a second chance.
And, as they were, going to sleep that night Lasseter yelled out and asked if Fred remembered the figures of the bearings he had taken on the mountain when he was scribbling in the fred told Lasseter he had written them in his own notebook lasted a replied quote. I can't find it. That's a dat daar news.
sprint means? I shall have to go out again tomorrow and take the rating again he lost his book. I don't know it's possible. He wrote it with the invisible ink pen. True, they now have been traveling for a month, oh boy, oh god, the thorney croft was seriously in bad shape. They stopped back at the camp. Fred decided to wait for colson to return before moving out, though injured coot was still determined, determined to be part of the expedition. He started, sending telegrams to sydney suggesting that the plane could be repaired so he's in a different location
With the right and but he's optimistic about the chances of all this gap after he crashed the plane, he got a message back saying: a new plane was coming piloted by a man named pat hall. Okay, then strangers arrived at the camp, a young white man and two aboriginal guides with five campbell
The white man was a twenty two year old german who was working as a dingoes scalper, god that had to be an occupation at a time,
how many people know that dingoes cowper answers that some people know. So I just someone who sells cheap tickets, that the dingo show I'm hoping it's that
Ok, so
were hated among bushmen as brutal, mercenary killers who shot and poisoned dingoes for gov government bounties, a british explorer describe them as permanently smelling of death, but what I mean they were, they would just take the scout yeah. Well, I think to prove that the
one get money from the government be cut right. Okay, the scouts run know why. It just seems like a you, don't think. A dude walking around with a bunch of dog furs is not cool. Well, just the heads just the scalp I did it say.
You're welcome the nigger scalper said they were almost out of rations and help the expedition would share some of their food fred agreed to share food. If there
join up and let them use the camels see a quid pro quo. Sure you get a guy who smells like death. He gets some canals now, what's not to love.
Consumers now days ever do with this applies just as they started a search and rescue mission call colson came driving towards them. He said the company had fired him, eight,
god. I don't work here, anymore, half what would remain.
Not now with you guys max you go on
as you know why you got that. We need you, gotta work for you
headed out out, fired check it take. Maybe
No I to go out of my own independent contractor now see goes rap
I good to catch up to see you were doing good to just you know just see. Do you go off to think that you're doing good and we're not pigs you're a pretty good yeah? It looks good. It is good yeah. Everyone here is doing good, yeah yeah. So whatever you like, you
Do you I'll? Do me? Don't need you coming over here,
I need you, I don't need you go go. I don't give a shit who need you are fine, we're good great, let's,
but the girl. Ok, I need you may see that I'll pay you. What do you want? Dingo heads? I have basically part of on fire.
I'll, give you he'll make it will make you stay here. Let me look at a mega. Only may I don't not a sucker everything's cool, but it becomes causing said there were no trucks or camels coming. Instead, there were sending a plain fred was furious blamed.
Four crashing obviously share Kosovo. Mickey then decided that just leave the group you
it's bad one mickey's like I'm better than us
That's a cliff select. What
I'm better than this
they sat and waited for the plane. Lassiter was
billy driving everyone insane. He started. He started singing mormon,
incessantly all of them to one tune.
Is it possible even is hymns, are full of shit yeah? It's very
Animals hymns are awful. Assure you just like he's an improvised yeah yeah is
That is the best way to do it, in my opinion, has its own identity.
Then the new plant arrived with could and haul inside. It was not an impressive plain and cook was so,
In turkey to be lifted in and out of the cockpit good news,
a girl may now to who
doing well.
Repose. So you never have a good guy
when the world is that good, but I wanted to cover support you guys get you guys do support beer is going through
may. Behind you
I'm gonna need a lot of extra attention. Now, I'm not the guy was when I left
really sick now could was
very upset: fretted hired the dingoes scalper, this guy's an asshole. He didn't think than dingoes scalpers story.
Up. There were no wait a bit quickly, not another. Now
a man may now it has been well, I gotta be honest and ex sums none at an up here. You know what I mean what's well, I don't know it just seems like these stories. Don't make any sense when you re evaluate I'm thinking the same thing like I'm. Looking back on, every single conversation go wait. What I think this whole thing is founded on
Yeah that dingoes scalper is full of. It will be talking to these
I don't know why lassiter the brilliant man that he is pretend dingoes scalper me. Will you talk about the dingoes scalper right, yeah, good, to hear you said? Yes,
so then, why did I say that, but the site they hired the scalper right and and they're sharing their food. So everyone got that right all right, wait what
So the reason he didn't think that dingoes scalpers story
added up because there were no dingoes around for many miles. I made truly an amazing gripe in this situation.
The next morning. Lassiter went up and the plane with hall to get the lay of the land share lots of refresh my memory just from a higher just right. Right privately, he told coup that he had seen the reef, but didn't want
tell anyone, because he didn't trust fred. Oh so late wasn't fred the one he was saying before he didn't trust someone to quit. Why didn't he say before to someone that was that oh free, this is who is okay,
I guess you know so now he's finally opening up about who we fix them all is gets the guy. He told you thought there was a more that's what I mean
so that is what he did. He was talking to fred before it is like. I think, someone's full of shit fred was like okay, whatever and now he's like a weight is a boy that freds the mall. I was talking to fred about students
Weighing on multiple levels of I'd sure, it's like fuckin with three level chest shit: why did it
designers ball of it? No, I don't know it's for the way he wouldn't have a conversation with thread above thinking someone
problem emotionally, whatever its real. What if he doesn't trust bread for a reason that then, why would he tell fred that there's a problem gets out of his pocket, brunel you're, not at sight of his brain? He told the group that they need.
Travel, a hundred and fifty miles south, which was weird because the planned in only flown eighty miles south and there's no way could have seen a hundred and fifty miles away. We find so they started south and they kept having.
I stopped to repair the thorney croft one hundred and fifty miles south they reached and climbed to the top of a sand dune. Okay. Beyond it, the train was completely broken and went down several feet. They would never get the thorney croft through and there was no sign of a reef, Fred, told lasseter to confess to being a fraud, my god Lasseter admitted he had never seen this country before, but as instinct
was that the close that the reef was close to Peter been ranges which was five hundred miles away?
sees us and Fred was. I go fuck yourself.
Call them end the expedition, because it would go on forever.
Yeah, you know, is actually two hundred miles. That way now has a hundred miles back.
idea, but I'm all mixed up. I feel like mickey fragile last with
Ass, they could do would be to disappear because even be facing a fraud charge. Fred said he would hire johns the dingle scalper to get
meta search with lassiter, while everyone else went back to sydney. Ok, if last
I wanted to use that opportunity to just you know, take off and start a new life that will be totally up to him. While on the way back, the team met a group of aboriginal men led by stockman named billy buttons when they spoke to him, it was very obvious that buttons did not want to meet John's the dingo scalper. Okay, now Fred had drawn up an agreement with John's the company paid John's five pounds a week for two months to continue the search for the reef with his aboriginal guides and camels following latter's guidance.
The aboriginal guides took off because they could do math, and there are like two like eyes to camels with supplies. Item be too
aboriginal guy area- and we are out of here now, thanks guys, good luck, though it sounds like you guys
They closed us up. An awesome here before the two groups
but their separate ways: forgave lassiter his compass watch and revolver get lost than shoot yourself, so it's just send your mom like egg. I take these things and
watch lasting johns until they're out of sight and then turned round and said quote: that's the end of my millions. Just then was being sarcastic
think so can I wasn't just then calls on arrive with fresh mail from sidney. It turns out lacerated, not sent a letter to his wife. Like everyone believed he had turns out. He sent word to sydney that he had found. The right,
MIKE Carson was amazed that nobody else in the team knew how my guy
Great news.
It was our butts,
Look at it, irons, amazing everything. He says that the letter is unbelievable. I gave my does the mermaids
she's, a very positive way,
it'd be funny once you're done, she has a fun where's the ladder, so the money was the blow job tree.
Oh, please, god! So me, there's no job tree is a blow job tree.
This approach arbitrary, because I
come over here and suck. My dick way way way way. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What use radio exaggerate sees us cries. The blowjob teresa
He didn't say what you are just the servant was a tree that second, but I have to
much of the tree
good
lives on a blow job tree.
at least he's not crazy.
so everyone in our springs thinks he's found the gold fred then suspected that the company in sydney was actually manipulating the share prices. Everything moved so he thinks it's not the last saturday
the letter he thinks that day they there followed in a citizen link riah, so they made it back to our spring.
On august. Twenty eight after two months in the outback got friends. Report of last year's fraud reached the company, so they fired fret. So this
Story we all now and they put coup in charge.
Otherwise, for a break
That's my no vote.
That's enough words tree marry me turn things. What of it?
I make you to raise your playing god and man. I used to alive
Are you found a blow job treated? You may have been the great you didn't know you had a blow at and it was thorny deja. Well, that's that
Gus, though we're looking for here, you ve, gotta, be honest, a lackey, mrs. We get that allowed, could good tree well gal. I can tell you: is the trees not looking to settle down so whatever feelings you have, I would move on to the tree. It's nothing more than another idiot, sucking his dick
In a way we ve got a job for you, we ve gotta, be great added, so could made plans to catch up with lassiter cool.
Out and tailor would go by camel is flying coots flying. That's, not good
and taylor is going to go back on them and then they meet up camp was sure, that's the spirit, which is
there's three use in an hour. We don't need a second sounded up other lulu whatever.
Thirdly, what you wanted to avoid
our took off first because obviously camel take longer than a plane or early in this world dave coup went.
Herman's, spurred mission to hire aboriginal guides and he stayed overnight and he went back to Alice. Brings the next day,
covered the locals, had sent out search parties for him, assuming that he crashed his plane right well, so that they announced as soon as he takes off
it is up and search party. Go, let's go. Let's find of guys he's out there somewhere, guys we're
represent guys, look for now, you see what is why and I go find ad and I'll be out there somewhere, after,
weeks could took off for allure whenever.
as who landed his propeller,
a branch and shattered. Damn thing.
Now he was stranded in the camel party was nowhere to be seen,
eight days later, his water ran out boy he made for it.
our whole that he'd seen earlier, but by the time you got there at a dried up, so he started scooping mud and it was now turns out. This does not work.
That night, as he was lying there, he saw cooking fires and he hid not wanting to be killed by aboriginal people in the morning. He realized the camp fire was from his camel party.
it's a tough, the hague how'd you guys as the other eight
sleeping. I wasn't a mother
three either
so you say you a modern, didn't circuitry yeah, I pay.
A good way to start a conversation. What you said, crazy sis, how we greedy
other out here, and why, when I bought all night, didn't truckers secretaries, dick? That's that's how we do it tat morning here we're here too.
Hungry, philip, I use and water.

Now you are just stopping all over my face.
Which has a moors:
Scared good, it's just mass. The company directors then fired good.
what grounds lord give. The man is shot when taylor
camel party arrived taylor learning was the new leader of the expedition. Fred went back to
and told the directors. Lassiter was a con man who no one would ever
Say again and the directors very quiet and what said quote,
Well, we have heard friends report not so we came here for meeting adjourned and the meeting was over and Fred walked out to the lift and ass. He stood there waiting for it to board members approached him and one put a fist of two friends face and said quote
You and colson, won't ever get that reef. We all know about you too. You think now
You have got everybody on the out on the road and later discredited you to go out and find the refund now, but we're sticking with lasser, and we hope when you to try and double crosser us
First,
so you're, just like yeah, you got
Good luck, guys! Good luck with everything! Truly! Two months later,
johns arrived back in our springs alone. He had a strange story: boy,
John said that hand lassiter had travelled into the mountains and set up camp lassiter
Tested on going out alone and came back after a few days with a bag of gold rocks, sharing, share claiming eat founders reef and when Johns asked to see the goal
Well, you can't see it with human eyes. It's invisible gold.
lassiter yell, that it was quote none of his business. Ok,
what's the travel with this guy anymore, why you near him up amiss?
and that fair, why do you keep asking to see it? If you keep, I was going to say never going to see it which, by the way, you're never going to see sick of him, see the gold.
founded. Ok, it's real
Why does everyone ask for results? Why can't? They just believe the process.
They argued and lassiter through his steel dinner, played at johns and challenged him to a fistful new johnson and pull those revolver
and let us not do this whilst that are largely to them and they fought for control the gun last regarded away from johns and after a stand off, they agreed to let bygones be bygones,
I think in however many times we ve done this, and we ve heard a scenario like this. There's never been a time where two men have been like our right. Sorry about that, I really apologize. We just what were we thinking
the purple at sunrise, I'm going to kill you johns returned the there. Their agreement was johns, returned, allow Alice, springs, refresh supplies alone in last forgave him letters to give to the government resident in town. So after they split up john open and read the letter
there are two letters it turns out and the first lasseter said he had found the reef and staked out a claim and that he wanted john's to return with fresh camel's in supplies. Canning supplies in the second letter, which is for the chief of police, he demanded john's, be put under arrest and jailed john spent a fortnight at herman's berg mission before wandering into Alice springs word quickly, spread that Paul Johns had murdered Harold Lasseter. Now it didn't help that the pastor at hermann's burgh mission, reported that in the winter of nineteen, thirty paul Johns had come urgently looking to buy camels. This is way before
when asked why he needed them. He said that a gold expiration company had forbidden sidney and there is sending out an expedition in a big truck and he knew the truck with last long and they would need camels quote so. I'm going out there to meet the expedition so that when they are stuck, they will hire me. That's exactly what has happened we set and now the company at a new problem they had lasted. Authors coordinates for the reef, locked away in a bank fault, but they couldn't get to them until last. There was pronounced dead. So they need,
a body. That's never good statement on this path. Cast they sent a plane to search for the last place. Last year was seen who think it, I suppose the pilot doesnt matter, but the plane went missing. Ok then, I think we know how.
After weeks the pilots were found, starving and dehydrated. Having all we have is bad,
wait. Watery mud,
for some reason we're still craving water. It's the mud makes gravely.
While they had miss the location completely and kept flying and run out of fuel well bog buck, bob back in australia and bushmen was put in charge of the search for laboratories body after months he claimed he found lassiter dead in a shallow grave. He brought back dentures and some letters he had found on the body lettergram. Back later he went back and found what seem to be lassitude diary. He repeated lasted is claims that
It found his reef, but this diary didn't match the diary. Everyone on the expedition had seen lasted a writing in or rating fragile or any anything. People suspect that it was a forgery by the eight w president to confirm listeners death and give the company access to the bank fault. When bob buck was asked to give a sworn statement, he was genuinely frightened to put his hand on the bible.
That's! Where hope you gotta be ready for that. Why you know it's covered here really boom can't be like airway. Is god really? Ok? Yeah? No final answer! Yes,
final on the stand he said quote, I could not swear whether the skeleton was a white or black man. It is hard to tell you look at a splendid. Does he think he can't lie? What does he think? I think is the full question he
Somehow we managed, though, to satisfy the bank that last year was dead and the aid w president got his hands on the envelope in the vault. Here we go time for the big reveal.
What does the invisible like say find out on our seas? Finale lassiter? It was a set of completely meaningless numbers. What's it not invisible link? I really think you personally on two issues that I think it's just. A chemical reaction of sums were still obsessed. Okay, so it's a series of numbers. That's very helpful fred was convinced. Last winter made it out of the desert, he believed lassiter at cross into western australia mare from our escape to america. You can't you shouldn't know. First of all, just
In modern context. No one should be escaping to america in nineteen. Fifty five, he said that mormons in australia, told them. Lassiter was a pastor in salt lake city.
There were many other lesser sightings over the years in eighteen, fifty seven and american broadcaster travelled to Alice, brings with it tv crew to search for last centres body the team located what they believe to be lazarus, graved and unearthed a skeleton when the programmes it a white man, skeleton.
when the programmes producer and production manner delivered. There remains to the police station and Alice springs. They were arrested for desecration of a grave.
Lastly, a word dentures in this school had all of its teeth, so they just doug fucking
Oh yeah, you really you january. I mean you have to be pretty sure. I think that's the role we have with digging up bodies from graves. You can't just be like sort of
was this? The one you saw is: is it what about this one? We got a bunch of the tree.
What are you guys break about about what? Let's get to the bottom of this old man? There was a fresh one
so that was in him, but there we brought that want along too.
and then we blew a tree. That's going to the store, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye,
We got a little laws that we blew attire near a tree and I'm we d blow a tree. Then we blew a tree rock hard for a tree. Three rock hard is made of wood.
I'm saying there were still there are still people who believe that lassitude reef is out there. Since nineteen, thirty of dozens of expeditions, dozens of explanations have tried and fail to retrace lazarus footsteps in two thousand and eleven well known, australian entrepreneur, dick smith.
I can imagine I didn't look about, but just as name is enough why he sounds like a fucking idiot.
Kids acted his own search using a map he bought for fifteen hundred dollars on Ebay from lockout mickey.
The founder of the the founder of the darwin beer can regatta what the fuck is that solid head shakes. People are,
permanently shaking their heads like yeah and what whatever deal with it, do not market claim that it in two thousand and seven. He knew the location and was preparing to stay start mining operations there, but the most persistent researcher, sorry persistent searcher, has been bob lassiter, who was only five years old when his father left for central australia. Boy now is
Mid 90s bob is taking part in more than thirty expeditions to the desert, since one thousand nine hundred and sixty six is convinced that his father's rape is out there somewhere. So
he means less, so it turns out it has. This sad is ending of all
maybe just literally
There should just be a chapter in all basic psychology books about what it's like to lose
your father, lass writers.
That's where your dad leaves and then you're searching for his love or what he was searching for a bit
ninety years old, it is terrible, remains, will search for the blow job,
Did we find the riviere my dad look for a budget was out of sight.

because then my life,

I no say no to say it out. There is a reef there there's a reef there. It's a goal. It's a goal or say:
I close the door leave me alone. I need to have a reef out. I guess how is the question? I still don't know how people, because people go crazy for goal. Yeah
You go crazy for gold, but even then such on substantiated, just a rock, we decided decided be worth something something made it really decent. Fucking shit, except blog, should be worth money just really Iraq, it's a shiny rock. We ve just decided the stupidest thing ever waking key,
