Ziad: Five and three. I've got you now, Uncle.
Where is that, Auntie?
Aunty Mariam: The Royal National Park. Every month. It's a club.
Ziad: Club? Like disco?
Aunty Mariam: No, it's when a group of people do something they like together. That's a club. This is a bushwalking club.
Uncle Rami: You need strong legs. Not those chicken legs you have.
Aunty Mariam: Rami. Ziad’s chicken legs will be strong enough.
Uncle Rami: Ah ha! Got you again, my little chicken-legged friend.
Ziad: Come on, one more.
Aunty Mariam: Leila, you're home. Hey, how was work?
Aunty Mariam: Okay, a boy threw up on my shoes.
Uncle Rami: Yeah, it happens.
Ziad: I've done it twice to Leila.
Leila: How was job hunting today?
Ziad: Ahh. You know I was thinking maybe I could be a professional backgammon player.
Uncle Rami: He'll make so much money.
Leila: Great I'll just quit my job and take up tennis.
Aunty Mariam: Leave it to me.
What's the matter Leila?
Leila: I wish he could be more serious. We can't stay here forever.
Aunty Mariam: But we love having you here. Don't stress. He'll learn soon enough. Why don't I take us all out and do something fun for a change? We could go bushwalking or go to the beach. We can watch a movie or a sports match. Anything.
Leila: Bushwalking?
Aunty Mariam: Great, bushwalking it is.
Leila: Oh, you can teach me photography.
Aunty Mariam: Sure... the leader of our club is very photogenic.

Uncle Rami: Alright Mariam, I think we should get moving. Yes, come on, yallah. What's so funny?
Come on Mariam. It's this way.
Mariam!

Naomi: In Australia there are so many leisure activities. There's entertainment like going to the movies or a concert. There's sports like football and cricket. Then there's my favourite exploring the great outdoors going to the beach or bushwalking. So get out there and do a leisure activity.
