00:00We used to go to towns and they used to say, you know, take your clothes off the line, you know, the snow droppers are in town, the showies are in town, there's steel and everything. We're here to provide the entertainment like we've done for a hundred years, my family.
00:18I know someone in every town in Australia. They know when I'm in town, it's showtime.
00:24We probably do about 44 shows a year.
00:29Do you love travelling with Dad?
00:31I've never thought about doing anything else. I know the kids think about it now. They always come home.
00:37You don't just walk into this business and say I'm going to be a showie.
00:41Just hand me down, you know, from one generation to another.
00:45We're becoming the older generation. The younger blokes are coming on.
00:51Hey, winner's wanted, winner's needed, who's going to be the next?
00:54It's definitely a man's business. It gets handed down to the men.
00:58Hey boys, is he having a go?
01:00I sort of like the idea of being a tradie or something, but Dad gets pretty full on sometimes.
01:05He just wants to argue with everything you want to do with him. When you try and tell him you're the worst fella in the world.
01:14382 homes have now been confirmed destroyed.
01:17No one's been here to say to us, you should evacuate.
01:20There are whole communities sheltering at the water's edge.
01:23All our shows all around the coast have been cancelled.
01:26I can't get no frankfers.
01:27Your life consists of sitting on the lounge, playing with your phone or fixing a truck or doing some shit.
01:32I'm not going to go out there and just hang around Dad all day and get terrorised.
01:36We've got this coronavirus now we've got to deal with.
01:39No wonder we're going broke.
01:41The chances of me meeting somebody else in the same industry is very slim.
01:49I feel a little bit like I'm letting Dad down, but I'm at the point where I have to branch out.
01:54I hate to miss the birth of this kid.
01:59All this drama I'll probably get down if she'll go two weeks over or something.
02:03They all feel pressured with her one.
02:05Enough will never be enough.
02:07When the stars align and when the time's right, all the bells will be back together.
02:14In the bells name, it's never going to die.
02:16We're coming into our 100th year.
02:18We want to keep it going for another 100 years.
02:21Sky high on the no limit rise.
02:24The world's over.
02:25Yeah mate.
02:26The world's over.
02:27Yeah mate.
