What happens when a simple journey to Opalton turns into an unforgettable adventure? Equipped with our capable off-road vehicles, we finally conquered the challenging terrain that had previously stopped us in our tracks. Join us as we set up camp at the rustic Opalton Bush Camp, where simplicity meets serenity with donkey boiler showers and expansive camping grounds. The beauty of the outback revealed itself in unexpected ways, offering both challenges and moments of pure wonder.

The real gem of Opalton, however, was our encounter with Glen, the captivating opal miner whose humorous storytelling made our stay so memorable. With his generous spirit, Glen led us on an early morning tour to secret fossicking spots. Armed with buckets and spray bottles that he generously provides for free, families come together in the thrill of the opal hunt, forging bonds amidst the rugged beauty of the landscape. The night's sky, dotted with a billion stars and the crackling of our communal fire, left a lasting mark, and we urge travellers to support Glen’s unique crafts, a testament to the outback's authentic charm.

Our journey continued to Longreach, with local wildlife sightings and fascinating roadside attractions guiding the way, Longreach proved to be a treasure trove of experiences. A highlight was the Qantas Founders Museum, where we explored aviation history and marveled at the iconic 747-200, thanks to insightful guides John and Sarah. From the museum's art exhibits to its interactive offerings, Longreach welcomed us with open arms, ensuring it became a memorable chapter in our adventure across Outback Queensland.

Welcome to Season 9, Episode 5 of the Family Travel Australia podcast. We are Paul, Katie and Jasper from the Feel Good Family. Join us as we explore this great country, Australia, its people, places and cultures.

Speaker 2:

Yes, welcome to the Family Travel Podcast, where we share the latest in RV industry news road trip travel, caravanning and camping, product reviews, where to go, what to do, and so much more. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 1:

This week we find the real Opal Hunter and we make tracks to Long Reach for a bucket list experience in Outback Queensland. Gee, we love being in the Outback.

Speaker 2:

Oh, we sure do, and there is nothing better than discovering places you've never been before. I love it out here and to be able to finally get out to not only Opalton, but also to stop and stay in Longreach. These are two places that have been high on our list for a very long time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's right Back four years ago when little Jasperoo was only four. In fact, we celebrated his fourth birthday in Winton, as we mentioned, and now getting to celebrate his eighth birthday. We did make the track actually out to Opelton without our van on. We were in our Toyota Hilux. We got about halfway out there, which it's only 121 kilometres from Winton to Opalton. That takes easily two hours because of the road conditions. I mean, there's no bitumen, there's no, nothing baby.

Speaker 1:

It really is barren land for the majority of the journey out here and the road really does differ in its terrain, sometimes really sandy, sometimes red earth, sometimes limestone. It's really interesting. Not very hilly, fairly flat, so fairly easy in that sense. But we got about halfway out and the sky was that incredible outback purple colour, when you know it is building to epic proportion storm rain.

Speaker 2:

Yes, we pulled up in the middle of the road. There was nobody else coming. We're like do we Don't? We? Do we push on and just hope that it passes over, or do we make the call now and cut our losses and turn around and go back to Winton?

Speaker 1:

You know, it's kind of like how far can you walk into a forest? Yes, Well, we got halfway. So it sort of of like how far can you walk into a forest? Yes, you know, well, we got halfway. So it sort of felt like being ripped off here. But we did, we turned around. We were a little nervous probably more nervous back then Very unknown you know all the gear and no idea. And so we headed back into Winton and we caught up with our good mate Taranto, the Opal Miner, and he said, gee, you're lucky, you turned around.

Speaker 2:

Oh yes, you guys, you could have been out there for weeks. Stuck out there when it rains, nobody goes anywhere, and we. It was a big sigh of relief there, that's for sure, because we certainly weren't set up or prepared to spend a few weeks in our vehicle back then were we?

Speaker 1:

No, exactly Now. The weather out there currently is 35 degrees during the day and not a drop of rain in sight for probably a fairly long time, and so we knew that we had this incredible window to be able to even tow the van out there. I mean, having the off-road vehicles now just makes all the difference. And so we did. We headed out two hours. We filled our tanks up with water. Water is pretty well non-existent out there, although the council has put in a massive dam for the I don't know, it varies between eight and maybe 18 people the locals but they do have a water supply now, which is really wonderful. It means that they can stay and play and try and strike their fortune for longer periods of time. And we got out there and found the Opalton Bush Camp. It is the one and only option for your camping needs, for your journey out to Opalton. At $2.50 per person per night, I think this would have to be the cheapest, low-cost campground for what you get that we have ever found or stayed at, loved it.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely awesome. I mean, of course, there's no power or water hookups. You do need to be who needs it. Well, that's right out here. When you've got that sun shining all day long, certainly don't have any issues with loading up the batteries with all of that beautiful solar power. But they do have amenities. You can have yourself a nice hot shower in their bathrooms there.

Speaker 1:

They're donkey boiler showers and we've spoken about the donkey boiler in past episodes. But basically, load up the wood, light it up, come back in 45 minutes and hot water at your fingertips.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, awesome, brilliant. There's a little camp kitchen, shelter area and there's a number of other little sheltered areas that are scattered throughout the grounds of the bush camping area. And look, let's be honest, it kind of you know how do you know where the boundary of the bush caravan park is? It sort of just stretches on forever, you don't.

Speaker 2:

Yeah that's right and that's what's part of the appeal. But there are little shelters there, so if you were coming out, say, without a vehicle in tow, you could pull up to one of these little shelters little lean-tos, set your swag or your tent up underneath. That keeps you out of the hot sun during the day. It also keeps you sheltered at nighttime as well, which is really fantastic.

Speaker 1:

There are fully enclosed huts as well, so they have a door on them and windows, and so you do have like a basic little hut as well, and if they're readily available empty, you can snag one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so good. What we did is actually drive through the main area, I guess where the camp kitchen and there's a little. If I say store, I use that word really loosely, but I believe this is where the mail for the residents of Obleton gets delivered once a week.

Speaker 2:

You can pick up a soft drink or, if you're lucky, a loaf of bread little things like that there as well. Well, we kept going through and out into this large area, out the back, I suppose, over near where the dam is that Paul mentioned has been put in, and sort of almost right along the old airstrip that you know. When you pull it up on maps and you have a really good look, you can see the markings out of the airstrip there, and that's where we decided to set up camp.

Speaker 1:

And in fact the airstrip is still operational. If there were to be a life-threatening incident accident, the RFDS, the Royal Flying Doctor Service or other flights can land there if necessary. So don't camp on the actual airstrip, but you can camp right beside it and the airstrip really takes in what was the main street back in the day. This township of Opelton was established in 1894 when an old timer found that first colour in the stone and went. Well, hang on, this is special.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and people flocked as they did. We've heard this story all over the country with the various gold rushes and people wanting to make their fortune. And people flocked out here to Opalton to make their fortune with what is regarded as probably the best opal that you'll find anywhere in the world. It certainly supplies, I believe, paul. It's up there. Around the 90-something percent of all of the world's opal comes out of Outback Queensland here and in particular this incredible Queensland boulder opal that can only be found out here in Outback Queensland, and they flocked to find it.

Speaker 1:

Look, when you say flocked to find it, there were 600 locals calling Opalton home and again locals calling Opelton home, and again just chasing that fortune. The unfortunate thing about being out here is that the drought just seemed to never end and although there were hotels, police stations, saddlery you know different skill sets and services in this bustling township, literally within seven years there were less than 30 people. You know 1902, 30 residents, and that was dwindling. Well, there's always been a resident out here for 130 years now that has been continuously and continuing to mine for opal. So quite a remarkable story. And they believe they've barely scratched the surface out here. It is back-breaking work, though the boulder opal is one of the hardest gemstones that you could find on Earth. So, look, you want to be fit, or use this to get fit if you were trying to find your fortune this way. But it attracts people, tens of thousands of people every year to come out here and we just loved our experience. But the real highlight was getting to meet Glenn, who is he is Opalton, isn't he?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think so, I think so, I think so. Look, I didn't ask him how long he's been out here in Opalton for, but I'm pretty sure he's got Opal and all of that red, dusty dirt running through his veins because he looks like he's been out here a very, very long time.

Speaker 1:

Yes, he has, and he is a true character. Again, we always say the people make the place and and that is exactly the scenario that you met with when you meet Glenn Uh, he's got quite colorful, uh, expressive stories to share that are lighthearted and fun and full of that larrikinism that you love with these Outback characters. And he offers a free tag along every day. You've got to be an early riser. He leaves on the dot at 7 am. You just pull up in your vehicle. Follow him in his beat up old vehicle, follow him in his beat up old vehicle. He actually starts the tour and he says no-transcript, except in this case. You can with me because I am exactly how I look. I am an old broke miner. Now let me show you around.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes it was fantastic. Actually, I was surprised at just how many people were here on this particular morning.

Speaker 1:

They came out of the bush, didn't they, Katie they?

Speaker 2:

did? Where did all of these people come from? But, nevertheless, there was quite a number of vehicles and we went out with Glenn and, look, it was a couple of hours all up, to be honest, and he took us to a number of different spots. And what was so great about this tag-long tour with him was that, you know, he didn't just take us out and say, okay, here you go, this is what you do, start Fosking. He gave us the rundown, he really explained to us you know what is it and how has it come to be here and what does it look like and what are the differences between the opals that are found out here. And then, of course, he took us to the secret spots. You're not going to find these places unless you're on this tour with Glenn, let me tell you. And, of course, he's got all the gear. So he's got the buckets, he's got the spray bottles full of water, because, of course, unless you wet these rocks down, they just look like dirty rocks.

Speaker 1:

I still don't understand how they even find any of this stuff.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, dirty rocks. I still don't understand how they even find any of this stuff. Yeah, it's not like there's this, you know beautiful colourful gemstone just sitting around in the ground going here. I am here. I am Like everything is brown and red, dusty, dirty, and I mean from the moment you hop out of the car, no matter what you touch, you're that colour as well. So you do need to be prepared to get your hands dirty. But look, the kids on the tour absolutely loved it. I mean, who doesn't love rocks? Anyways, we certainly do in our family.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, definitely. I have to say there was this one moment. I mean he had endless lines and one line and he's just a character and he says, yeah, you just got to scrub it and scrub it and wash it and he goes. You can sometimes spend an hour washing the absolute out of it and still not find anything.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was very colourful, quite like the Opals that we were searching for, and, all in all, a fantastic tour and, as Paul mentioned, free. Now listen, if you do want to join Glenn on one of his tours out there in Opalton, we would then encourage you to afterwards go and visit him at his place, because he does make his own leather goods. He also has gemstones for sale, so if you don't have any luck fostering finding your own opal, you certainly can go up there, and that's a nice way to support him in exchange for the free tour that he offers.

Speaker 1:

He does point out, though, that you really, if you pick any of his items, you're actually making a donation. He doesn't actually sell anything.

Speaker 2:

No, that's right. It's one of those unspoken rules of the bush and I'm sure you'll understand what we're alluding to when you're out here and you meet Glenn but definitely well worth a good morning spent and then you know you're left to your own devices. Okay, well, I've shown you the secret spots, so go ahead, make your fortune.

Speaker 1:

Yes, if you'd like to buy this particular piece of opal, here's a recommended donation amount that you could make for it. I love it. What a legend.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely Look. All in all, I think the only disappointing part of our stay was that we only had allowed ourselves one night to come out here, and truly, I mean, there's nothing out here, so you're not coming out for anything in particular, other than, I guess, to dig around in the dirt and try your luck. But for us, we absolutely loved the solitude of this environment, to be out here, that the starry sky at night was just incredible, to be able to have a campfire. We were, of course, still traveling with Ben and Deanne and their children, the family who came across the Plenty Highway with us, so the kids had a fantastic time, you know, to run free and not be worried about disturbing anybody because, let's face it, there's nobody else around, and so we would recommend to come out for at least a couple of nights, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And look, we get often asked well, why didn't you just stay another night? We had already made, I guess, further bookings that included experiences that book out. So we kind of had this you know draw card to have to leave. But being able to have a fire out there along the airstrip with one of the best sunsets and billions of stars and just beautiful balmy night in the outback, there's nothing better.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was absolutely fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 1:

Loved every minute of it now I have to say the road out here had been graded, so one of the best outback road or touring roads that we've been on. Of course that does change once weather sets in, traffic increases. But it was so good, it was smooth as like. Like we didn't touch our tyre pressures. We did still drive to the conditions, in that it is a gravelly, dirty road and then dusty and then really sandy in sections. But look, we probably averaged 65 kilometres per hour on this road, so pretty easy going, and when you're going that little bit slower it it actually makes for a more enjoyable experience. It's very unlikely that you're going to hit a kangaroo or an emu at that speed as well. So yeah, I think slow and steady, enjoy the scenery of a lot of nothing yeah, it's beautiful in its own right, though it is definitely.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was a really enjoyable drive. And look to head to Longreach. Unfortunately you can't just cut across down the bottom, and we believe that there are what's referred to as tracks, but certainly not anything that any of the locals recommended. We try and tow the caravan on, so it's back to Winton. We go, because that is the only way to get yourself down to Longreach, and so all in all it's about a three and a half hour drive from Opalton back through Winton and then down onto Longreach.

Speaker 1:

It is exactly probably 300 kilometres, and that's right, katie. Exactly probably 300 kilometres, and that's right, katie. It takes us about three and a half to four hours to travel that distance, even out on bitumen. So getting back into Winton and a quick little stop to the bakery, because that's very good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, pick up some lunch, restock everybody, get out and do a bit of a stretch and then on the road again.

Speaker 1:

And what's great is the road to Longreach. Look, I won't say it's a terrible road, but it's fairly bouncy. Probably need a little more funding out here guys, Get some of those roads a little better. But just yeah, taking it easy on these roads, you all of a sudden then start to see a lot more road kill.

Speaker 1:

So everything from you know kangaroos to pigs to emus, and with that brings what they refer to as the seagulls of the outback, which are the fork-tailed kites or ash kites or whistling kites, but normally flocks of kites, which are a beautiful bird of prey to see in motion. But they're always looking for a cheap meal or an easy meal, and so carrion as it's better known. But roadkill is an easy meal for these birds of prey and you'll see the odd wedge-tailed eagle. If you see one, there's always two. They generally have their partner standing by there as well. So, taking it easy.

Speaker 1:

If you see these birds of prey, once they've locked their talons onto a bit of row kill, it's very difficult for them to release. It's an instinctual behavior. So bipping your horn to let them know that you're coming and safely, sort of taking a little wider berth there, can prevent you actually hitting these beautiful animals. But yeah, the road you're running right along the train line, so very cool. Jasper was able to look at a big diesel beside us. It was. Probably they were traveling at, say, 80 kilometers now and we were traveling at 90 kilometers now. Probably they were traveling at, say, 80 kilometers now and we were traveling at 90 kilometers now.

Speaker 1:

And he's been, you know. Put that elbow out and give it a. Get that reply back from a train driver. It's like the best thing ever, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

Even for me, I love when they get that booming horn out, you know, so that's always fun there's something about the trains out here in these you know wide, open outback spaces, because you can see that just the incredible length of them. You know you've got the the whole landscape to showcase these trains and and it is exciting when you are traveling almost in parallel to the train line to have one right there. We love that.

Speaker 1:

So we continued on straight to. Just probably about five kilometres west of Longreach Township is a large truck and rest stopped bay, and then there's this little side road and if you follow that this unsealed road, you come around to a fairly new instalment accommodation option for vanners and it is called Muddy Duck Great name.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, muddy Duck Tourist Park I believe it's only in its second season of operation family-owned right on the banks of the Thompson River here in Longreach, and this is where we decided to stay. Now, we've never stayed and played in Longreach before, so we chose this option, just really basically looking at wiki camps, and we will talk about our stay here at Muddy Duck in next week's episode. So we were straight off to do one of many experiences that are on offer here in Long Ridge. In fact, we're absolutely blown away by just how many tourism experiences there are on offer.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, look, we did just drop and roll. You're right, katie, and the offerings here really mean that you need three nights at a minimum. But if you had five nights in Longreach that would give you a really enjoyable amount of time to soak up the environment and the experiences on offer. We have always bypassed long reach. Now people say why, when you know the Stockman's Hall of Fame is here, the Qantas Founders Museum is here, there's paddle boat experiences, train experiences, stagecoach experiences, dinner and show packages. I mean it just keeps going on and on. And it's because I think by this point we've come back through the outback, we've been to Winton and we know that our families are just there. You know, in southeast Queensland, let's just get home, hug it out with the grandparents.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

You know they want to see Jasper, so we've never stopped. It's nothing to do with Longreach or any reviews or anything. Now we've stopped. Oh, we love you, longreach. Oh, I tell you what. We will be stopping every time and telling everyone to stay and play for as long as you can. If you can get five nights here, perfect.

Speaker 2:

Okay. So first on the agenda for us was to head to the Qantas Founders Museum. And look, you can't miss this place. It's the spot with the massive 747 and all of the planes out on display.

Speaker 1:

Now, of course, qantas, Australia's most famous airline, in fact, one of the most famous airlines in the world. It is a story since 1920. And so a rich history here. It is not for profit the Qantas Founders Museum, it's not operated by Qantas I think a lot of people might think that but to have the 747-200 gifted to the people of Longreach to have on display here and allow people to walk and talk through this experience. Now, look, there is, oh, I don't know six to eight different experiences that you can do as bundles and packages. So you really need to get online and check out, you know, their first class bundle, their business class bundle, their economy bundle. I mean they've got it really well set up and really well designed that the website is a wonderful experience in itself. And, look, we very fortunately got to be escorted around this experience by John and Sarah. John is known as the Qantas Guru.

Speaker 2:

Oh, and that he is. His knowledge and his passion for all things aviation and Qantas was just infectious, and Sarah was the curator of the museum. So we were very spoiled in having these two incredibly knowledgeable people to share our morning with, and we opted for one of the packages that included the 747 wing walk, which, you know, when else in your lifetime do you ever get the opportunity to stand out on the wing of a plane?

Speaker 1:

But only one of us could do it, because we had Jasper with us and he's too young. I think from memory you have to be 13.

Speaker 2:

Yes, correct.

Speaker 1:

To be able to experience the wing walk, so his little face looked very disappointed but, he did get to sit in the cockpit of the 747-200 and be the captain. Yeah, that's right, get to sit in the cockpit of the 747-200 and be the captain.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's right. We started our tour actually with an internal tour of the 747, and that in itself is just incredible I mean, Jasper's never been on such a huge plane and then to be able to go up to the cockpit, sit in the pilot seat, get to drive the plane, fly the plane, drive the plane. I don't know what you do, but anyway we did it.

Speaker 2:

We also got to head upstairs to first class and see where, once upon a time, when these planes first were launched by Qantas, upstairs first class was called the Captain Cook Lounge and so beautifully designed. Back in the day, and to get all of the information from John on how the plane actually operates was mind-blowing.

Speaker 1:

So interesting. And you say, katie, his knowledge base is second to none exceptional. Look, Boeing actually had the 747-200 with Qantas. It was the very first aviation company to have a Boeing 747. Qantas did invent business class.

Speaker 2:

Yes, thank you, qantas.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they've got some pretty good claims to fame. Obviously, for those who are listening in other parts of the world, qantas is an acronym, so it's Q-A-N-T-A-S, so it's Queensland and Northern Territory Air Service. That's how we get QANTAS the flying kangaroo as it's better known here in Australia and then to be able to stand in the engine bay of those massive Rolls-Royce engines and get some selfies. That was so awesome. This plane, in its time before it was retired, did service 5 million passengers, so it's done its case, that's for sure.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, look, just absolutely incredible. All of it fascinating information for all three of us, and we all took something different away from that particular part of the tour with John.

Speaker 1:

Yes, now look, our tour didn't finish there, in fact. Look, we were there for four hours and it felt like the blink of an eye. So, as a family experience, even your kids will be engaged. We were back into the main Founders Museum. The initial hall space is a souvenir and cafe section. Jasper had a little hot chocolate. Yes, we grabbed a coffee. The souvenirs are awesome, so I'm sure you'll get suckered into a little wind-up plane or something for yourself.

Speaker 1:

There's some beautiful art as well that really shows the history of Qantas. And then you walk through what is a museum space for travelling exhibits and at the moment they have a famous Japanese artist named Yayoi Kasama showcasing there, and pretty intriguing.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it was quite a different exhibit, to be honest, Really really different. Arty Katie it was, that's what I said, arty Arty.

Speaker 2:

I think the title of the exhibit was Spirits of the Pumpkins Descended from the Heavens, so that'll give you a little idea as to how different this exhibition was. But Jasper absolutely loved it. Look, it played all sorts of weird and wonderful tricks with my head, so I didn't love it as much as he did, but certainly very interesting to meander through there and then you're on into the main exhibition space for the Qantas Museum, and what is so fantastic about this is that you could literally spend hours in this space alone. There are interactive exhibits. Jasper was able to jump into a number of flight simulators and fly the planes. There is the beautiful display of the Captain Cook lounge from the 747 First Class on display. There are displays showcasing all of the uniforms of the Qantas staff, from the very beginning of Qantas right through to the modern day. I mean there is so much interpretive signage and information around the history of Qantas. They have done an incredible job here to really encapsulate Australia's airline.

Speaker 1:

You are immersed in the storytelling of Qantas and we just we love this part of the experience. There is a wonderful theaterette with probably a three to four minute video showcasing the timeline and history birth to its current booming business in the airline industry, through to the original Qantas hangar from 1920 that's been resurrected. That houses another half a dozen planes, really showcasing the timeline through the history of Qantas another theatre, so look to have four hours. I think would be a perfect amount of time to really soak up the Qantas story.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, look, and what's amazing is that you can come and go and our ticket included coming back that evening for their new light and sound show that is projected up onto the planes within the airpark. This in itself is just incredible and you can just purchase a ticket to come and see this separately. But just again, what they have done in this space utilising the planes as the backdrops for this incredible projected show was just awesome.

Speaker 1:

Look, I'd go as far to say if you only had that 25 minutes 30-minute window for part of the Qantas experience booking and come to this light and projection show, you will be blown away with how well it has been done.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, awesome.

Speaker 1:

All in all, just an incredible experience there at the Qantas Founders Museum is one that was actually given to me on a card when I first got my job as the entertainment director for Australia's Zoo, oh, back in the day Del. We're talking a long time ago now, back in 2006.

Speaker 2:

Oh, when we met Steve Irwin was still alive.

Speaker 1:

Love at first sight, and this card was from a producer that I'd worked with at Disney Channel for a number of years. Disney Channel was one of his main clients, so that's how I got to work for Disney Channel. Through the work with him as an assistant producer and amazing time, he really taught me the ropes. Paul Venables from Venables Creating Entertainment incredible company, incredible mentor. And this card that he gave me said just remember, the Wright brothers didn't have a pilot's license.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that good. It's pretty powerful stuff.

Speaker 1:

You know, look on the Wright brothers. I love reading about these guys and I'm sure there'd be a documentary or a memoir out there on these guys. I've got to look at it. Of course it was Wilbur and Orville Wright. They did have the very first powered flight of a heavier than air aircraft. It was December 17th 1903 and the flight lasted 12 seconds.

Speaker 2:

Incredible. Incredible when you think. I mean these guys weren't, I mean this wasn't invented before these guys they invented it.

Speaker 1:

What I love is I've always wondered well, were they both in the plane? So who got to fly? They flipped a coin, they tossed a coin and Orville actually won, so he was the first brother in the air.

Speaker 2:

That's amazing.

Speaker 1:

Very cool, amazing story. They became very successful businessmen selling their airplanes. Some tragedy in there as well for them, but very interesting story. If you get a chance to read that, all right, let's move on. Next week we finish up our time in Longreach with a very unique experience.

Speaker 2:

Oh yes, it doesn't get much more Aussie Outback than this.

Speaker 1:

And a pub visit where Jasper absolutely shines.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I think you're going to love it. We can't wait to see you next week. For now, we'll say dream big, look after yourself and look after your family. And happy trails.
