to get to Dampier.

- Is that good?

- No.

Isn't it our land?

I can't stop it.

Not if it's in the public's

bloody interest.

- You could sell it.

- Ha!

Taylor Pete said

it isn't even our land.

Taylor Pete?

This is our land.

I have the deed to prove it.

But it was their land.

Haven't you got

anything stronger

to go with this tucker, Ronald?

Take your meal into your room.

Yes, sir.

I've neglected

the boy's education.

Oh, he'd be off to school

in the big smoke

soon enough, wouldn't he?

Next year.

Cate's still in that, uh...

hospital?

They released her

six months back.

And didn't come and see her boy?

Nope. Disappeared into Sydney.

Not even a postcard.

Well, does the boy know?

No.

I don't understand her.

My daughter's a

bloody mystery, way she thinks.

Got more twists and turns

than the Fortescue!

No matter how hard

the duck tried to run,

she couldn't escape the wolf.

He was getting nearer, nearer,

nearer...

Hey, I love this!

Peter and the...

Are you OK, Mr Hancock?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Come on, dog, get off, get off.

Sorry, Mr Hancock.

Blue gets very territorial

about his sitting spots.

I wouldn't try to move him.

It wouldn't be safe.

Yeah, well,

we'll see about that.

Feeling himself caught,

the wolf began to jump wildly,

trying to get loose.

Hey, Lang!

Where are you, old man?

You've fallen down

and can't get up?

I'm coming.

Well, you two... carry on.

What a strange man.

OK, no cheating this time.

You count to 50, and no peeking

where I hide the duck.

- YEP-

- Yep-

- You ready?

- Yeah, I'm ready.

Here we go.

No!

Come here, Blue!

Blue!

Argh!

Hey, not fair.

No going into the paddock.

Blue?

Blue?

That was crazy!

Aaaaaaah!

What's that?

Everything alright, Ronnie?

Ow!

" Ow!

" Ow!

I know the boy can be foolish,

but I counted on you

to have more sense.

Hey, Blue.

- Rock'n'roll

- Whoo!

Rock'n'roll

Oh, it's just a matter

of time

Before I whip you in line

Come over here!

Come on! This way!

It's just a matter of time

Before I whip you in line

Come on, baby

Will you say maybe?

How long will you tease?

I'm wearing a frown

And, baby, I'm down

on my knees...

Bit sore, are we?

I've been scarred.

That's not a scar,

mate. You want to see a scar?

Vietnam, baby. Vietnam.

That little thing?

Wow. Did it hurt?

Don't be daft.

Of course it hurt!

Dunno if self-inflicted

counts, mate.

- Yeah, well, I didn't do it.

- Was it a punishment?

Education.

I'm getting that too.

Grandpa thinks

I'm not properly educated.

He's hired some old woman

from Perth

to come live with us

and make sure I do

all my correspondence sets

all day long.

At the mission schools, all
