| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Betz with Jeremy Zackett's in New South Wales coming springtime as of right now springtime |
| 0:08.7 | Autumn in the North Tampered Hemisphere |
| 0:11.8 | Springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, meaning the koalas are busy, very busy, in the |
| 0:17.3 | Ucolyptus forests, the kangaroos are roaming around looking for wedding parties and the snakes. We'll start with the |
| 0:23.7 | kangaroos. Jeremy have you seen kangaroos in your neighborhood do you see them |
| 0:27.8 | on the roadway when you're driving to Sydney? We do we absolutely do now, especially in really the past week when this is really the time they come out because it's starting to get a little bit warmer while we haven't had the rain to create the undergrowth. |

| 1:10.1 | They'll see a car, they'll typically watch what you approach and then they'll jump straight in front of you because they just don't have any sense |
| 1:16.9 | So I can tell you already I've had to slow down many times in the past week just to make sure I didn't have any of those big grays or the big |
| 1:23.8 | Reds jump in front of me. Luckily the ones in my neighborhood seem to be a |
| 1:27.1 | little bit smarter and haven't jumped yet but you've got to watch out for the |
| 1:30.2 | young ones. Jeremy do you have kangaroo signs the way we have deer crossing signs? |
