Episode one Meet my friends By Kerri Renton Illustrated by Jason Howe In the great Australian outback Where the cowboys and cowgirls live The night sky shimmers with twinkling stars And the moon shines bright and lights the way The warm sunny days wake up the sleepy ones And the welcoming shade of the tall gum trees is a mighty fine place to be The land we call Australia is very big and wide They say the heart is in the outback And it is said with good old aussie pride When you are exploring A special thing to know Is how to say a loud COO-EE Shout it as you go COO-EE Is fun to say I would like to try it now Get your loud voice ready ONE TWO THREE COO-EEEEEEEEEEE You got it WOW Whenever you feel you're too far away And aren't quite sure where you are Remember to shout COO-EE and stay Soon help will come along the way The great Australian outback has many things to see and many different sounds to hear One creature that comes to mind has an extraordinary laugh That echoes well beyond its path The peculiar sounds of laughter sing morning, noon, and night If you listen very closely You can hear KOOK, KOOK, KAH, KAH Before he takes flight Can you guess what it might be KAH KAH Yes, It's a kookaburra It's perched way up high in a tall gum tree Look The morning sun is beginning to rise above this big wide land It's time to explore Are you ready to go I hope so Today, you are going to meet my special friends They sing and dance in an outback country band They live on a homestead at the end of a dusty track This track is an outback secret, and it's not on any map Maybe you think you can see it from the sky But you won't see it Not even when you're way up high The only way to find this dusty track Is to let me be your guide When the dusty track ends the homestead begins With two enormous gum trees standing side by side Inviting you in The bright morning sunbeams dance all around the house bringing in the new day And on the widest porch you have ever seen is where your outback friends will play Three wide steps take you to the top, where you are greeted by a bright yellow door Bursting with character and magnificent grandeur You are excited now and cannot wait to see So while we walk down the dusty track I will tell you about me My name is Ranger Rupert And the great Australian outback is my home I will teach you all about the animals that like to wander and roam Some live on the land, and some of them can fly There are even some that love the water And some live in the mountains, way up high I will talk about the rivers that wind through this land And the surrounding blue sea that makes Australia grand Hey! Do you know why Australians call their country the big wide land It's because it's so BIG So WIDE And so GRAND Shhhh! Listen We must be close to the homestead I can hear so many different sounds Australian outback animals always visit And they come from all around Just a few steps further and around this little bend You can see the two enormous gum trees at the very end Bootscoot'n Betty is standing on the wide porch soaking up the morning sun Let's go and say g'day and have some Aussie outback fun 'G'day, Betty! What a beautiful day I have my new friends with me We've come along to hear you all play And I know the wide porch is the place to be 'Hi there! I'm so glad you dropped by Betty replies We'd love to play for you I'll ask the boys to come outside, and Ranger Rupert can introduce them too Okay', I say Let's begin with Lasso'n Leroy, who is always so much fun When we need some good advice, he is the clever one Leroy loves to sing and dance, and he does these things so well He has another special skill, he likes to show and tell G'day, friends It's great to meet yah Would you like to see what I can do Leroy asks confidently We sure would, Leroy!' I reply Okay! Just watch my rope Leroy says with a smile He plants his feet firmly on the ground Lifts the rope above his head, and swings it round and round It makes a perfect circle shape and a spectacular whirling sound Wow! I love it when he does that I say as I watch the rope swirl around From inside the house, there comes another loud familiar sound COO-EEEEEEEE G'day, Australian outback friends Wade announces with an outback country roar A flash of fiery red jumps right through the open yellow door Whip-crack'n Wade loves a sound that will take you by surprise With a crack of his whip he will show you a trick that will flash before your eyes Wade lifts his chin, and with a cheeky grin, he says Are you ready to be amazed I have the perfect trick to show you all today He notices a tin can sitting on the porch rail right beside me Ranger Rupert, please stand still says Wade eagerly Then up goes his whip It makes a loop with a flick and comes down with a WUH-WOOSHING sound A loud CRACK CRACK And a TING TING Ride out from the tip The can jumps up and lands on the ground My legs go like jelly, and Wade looks pleased Would you like to see some more He asks with a cheeky grin Thank you, Wade but not right now I say I would rather see that tin can go straight in the bin Now we have seen the clever cowboys crack a whip and swirl a lasso It's time to hear from the star of the show Betty, can you tell us what you do Thanks, Ranger Rupert. I'd love to Betty gives a smile I'm Bootscoot'n Betty, and this is my band I help these cowboys show their stuff all over this big wide land My special skill is to turn a frown into a cheery smile I do this with the songs I sing and by dancing boot-scooting style Betty has a contagious smile that you just can't ignore Her songs will fill your heart with joy and leave you wanting more I have a song I would love to sing I can sing it for you now But the boys and I need some time to set things up Why don't you have a look around Let's go explore like Betty suggested After all, the homestead is a special place, and I'd like to show you so much more Can you see what I can see behind that big gum tree It's an emu! Is he playing tag Watch him as he pokes his friends, then runs away with a zig and a zag If you get a little closer You MIGHT hear an unusual sound Listen for the BOOM and THUMP, and BOOM and THUMP As the emu's head bobs up and down How strange and funny the emus are today Aren't you glad you came along and watched the emus play Ranger Rupert we're ready Betty calls out from the porch The band is all set up, and they look like superstars The boys are in matching outfits, and they have shiny green and red guitars Betty looks so pretty in pink, standing in the morning sun She turns towards the two cowboys and shouts 'It's time to have some Aussie outback fun Here is our song. It's called It's a Brand-New Day Okay, boys. Let's take it away A one, a two. A one, two, three It's a brand-new day, get out of bed We've got a great adventure up ahead There's lots to do, no time to rest Let's have some fun with our friends It's a brand-new day, the sun is up Sleep is done, It's time to JUMP Out of bed now, wipe your eyes Come and see the bright blue sky It's a brand new day It's a brand new day ay ay Oooo oooo la la la la Oooo oooo la la la la It's a brand-new day, time to get dressed We always want to look our BEST So we can venture out the door And enjoy this day more and more It's a brand new day It's a brand new day ay ay It's a brand new day Wow! That was amazing!' I shout as I clap Your music is entertaining, and your songs bring so much joy You always bring smiles to every girl and boy Thank you, Ranger Rupert. We're always happy to play But we can help you so much more if you tell us what else we can say', says Betty There is something that you can share to help our outback home', I reply We need more rangers like me. You could let your audience know How do we become rangers like you?' Betty asked, looking a little confused Well, it is a very special skill that takes many years to learn But all our friends can be ranger rookies now They'll find out more as they grow Hey, frien
