1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:24,179
He was an extraordinary figure in
Australian history and in Antarctic
history as well. He was one of the
great pioneers in Antarctica. And
just a hundred years ago, it seems
quite a short time, but they were
going off the map, and he was leading
an Australasian expedition, which was
heading into uncharted waters, and
they were quite an extraordinary
group of men.

2
00:00:24,750 --> 00:01:02,940
The expedition certainly had tragic
elements, the loss of life of Xavier
Mertz and Lieutenant Ninnis was a
tragedy, and the survival of Mawson
was truly a heroic episode. But more
importantly than that, the
Australasian Antarctic expedition set
science as its foundation and
achieved enormous amounts of
scientific results, and even more
importantly than that, it set science
at the centre of the future of humans
in Antarctica.

00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:32,740
G'day, guys and welcome to Aussie
English! My objective here is to
teach you guys the English spoken
Down Under. So, whether you want to
speak like a fair dinkum Aussie or
you just want to understand what the
flippin' hell we're on about when
we're having a yarn, you've come to
the right place. So, sit back, grab a
cuppa and enjoy Aussie English.

4
00:01:43,350 --> 00:02:12,600
Guys, I'm such a tool. I'm such a
tool this week. 'Tool', okay, that's
a good expression for you. If
someone's a bit of a tool, they are
an idiot, they are, I guess, it's a
sort of... It's an... It's impolite,
but it's not a swear word, right? And
it's a bit weaker than if you called
someone say 'a wanker', 'cause if you
call someone a wanker, you're
suggesting they masturbate. Loosely,
that's related to the word, although,
it means you're an idiot. But if
you're a tool, you're just an idiot,
ok? So, anyway, you might hear that
out there.

5
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:50,380
I've been a tool this week, and I
don't know my Australian history well
enough, because I spent a lot of time
writing the Aussie English fact about
an explorer, an explorer in
Antarctica who ended up not being
Australian and not having anything to
do with Australia, but because I've
heard of him so often, he's always
talked about in Australia, in
documentaries because he had a
contemporary at the time who was
Australian, I thought he was
Australian, so the guy I'm talking
about is an explorer called
Shackleton. I wonder if you guys know
about him.

6
00:02:50,400 --> 00:03:23,219
He has an absolutely phenomenal,
amazing story about survival and
surviving under incredibly stressful
and pressing conditions in
Antarctica. He saved his entire team
when they were stranded down there
for a long time, but his contemporary
who was Australian, or at least who
moved to Australia when he was a
young lad from I believe Britain,
we'll get to the Australian fact on
him shortly, is a guy named Mawson,
ok? He used to be on the hundred
dollar bill in Australia.

7
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:41,733
So, I ended up having to redo the
Aussie fact with Mawson, but I'm
going to include the Shackleton
British fact, I guess we'll call it
this week, in the bonus content for
those in the Aussie English classroom
because it's a waste of a good story,
right? I want to include it, it was a
very fascinating story.

8
00:03:42,630 --> 00:04:07,330
So, the snippet there at the start
was obviously about Mawson, not
Shackleton, and his amazing survival
story, although, slightly more tragic
survival story in Antarctica. So,
check out the rest of that clip on
ABC News Australia's YouTube channel
and you'll be able to hear the
director of the Australian Antarctic
Division Tony Fleming finish what he
was saying about Sir Douglas Mawson.

9
00:04:07,776 --> 00:04:19,634

I'm investing a lot of time, effort,
and money into really, really
improving things so that you guys can
learn English as well as Australian
culture and history and everything
like that a lot more deeply and
easily, ok?.

13
00:05:43,520 --> 00:06:06,540
Anyway, that's coming soon, but for
now let's just get into this episode.
Alright, so the expression today is
'a kick in the guts' and we'll get
into that shortly, but I wanted to
have a joke related to something in
the expression, right? So, I was
thinking ok, kick, hum? What about
guts? Ok, guts. So, guts is a word
for stomach or your intestines, your
innards.

14
00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:36,335
So, the joke is: why don't skeletons
fight each other? Right? Why don't
skeletons, you know, the form of a
human being, but just the bones, the
skeleton of the human, why don't
skeletons fight each other? Because
they don't have the guts. Save your
applause! Save your applause with
this awesome joke! Why don't
skeletons fight each other? They
don't have the guts!

15
00:06:36,410 --> 00:07:03,320
In this case to have the guts to do
something, in this case fight
someone, is to be brave enough, to be
courageous enough to do it, ok? To be
ballsy enough to do it. If you have
the guts to do something, you are
brave enough to do that thing. So,
today's expression ' a kick in the
guts', this was suggested by Lima in
the Aussie English Classroom, the
Facebook group, we all voted on these
expressions, Lima crushed it, she did
very well, everyone loved this
expression, so I had to do it today.

16
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:09,833
So, let's go through and define the
words in the expression 'a kick in
the guts',' a kick in the guts'.

17
00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:56,060
I'm sure you'll know what a kick is,
right? If you kick someone, you know,
kick the table. If you kick
something, you strike it or propel it
forcibly with your foot, right? So,
you're using your foot to hit that
thing, you're hitting the thing, not
with your hand, with your foot. If it
was with your hand, it would be to
punch. To punch, to kick. If you kick
in something, right? A kick in
something, it's the idea that you're
kicking something and it expresses
the fact that movement is the result
here and it's a movement that's going
inwards, right? So, it's something
you're kicking something with your
foot. That is then enclosing your
foot, surrounding your foot, right?
It's going to inwards. 'A kick in
something'.

18
00:07:56,660 --> 00:08:33,633
And the last word here, 'guts', as I
said, is your stomach or your belly.
So, it could be that you are, what
would you... Rub your guts, right? If
you rub your belly, you're rubbing
your guts, but it can also be the
internal parts of that area of your
body, right? So, your digestive
system, your intestines, your
stomach, maybe if you're driving
along in Australia and you
accidentally run over a kangaroo, you
might crush the kangaroo and its guts
go everywhere maybe, you know, over
the road, hopefully not over your
windshield and the bonnet of your
car. The guts hopefully they go over
the road.

19
00:08:35,059 --> 00:08:58,729
So, expression definition wise. What
do you think it means? If I say that
something's a kick in the guts,
right? I hear some news and it was a
real kick in the guts, what do you
think this means? It means that that
thing is a severe blow to your body
or spirit, right? It's something that
makes you feel very disappointed or
upset, especially when you've been
trying hard to achieve something,
right?

20
00:08:58,810 --> 00:09:23,059
So, if I've been working hard to do
something and I fail, that result of
failure is a real kick in the guts,
right? And you may also hear this
expression as 'a kick in the teeth',
which would be equally unpleasant. In
fact, probably more so, I would hate
to lose my teeth and 'a kick in the
stomach', 'a kick in the guts', 'a
kick in the stomach', 'a kick in the
teeth'. These are all very common
expressions used everywhere,I think,
in English.

21
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:31,580
Alright, so let's go through some
examples of how I would use the
expression 'a kick in the guts' in
day to day English.

22
00:09:32,180 --> 00:10:27,649
So, example number one, ok? You're
receiving bad news. So, I'll tell you
a personal story about me and my
family. When I was in my final year
of my undergraduate degree at
Melbourne University, I was studying
Biology and Zoology, the study of
life and Zoology the study of
animals, I was really interested in
animals and my family, my parents had
actually met and attended this
university when they were young,
that's where they met studying
Zoology as well, so you know small
world, right? ,Anyway while I was
studying my mum found a lump in her
breast and she ended up having it
looked at and the lump itself wasn't
a problem, it was benign, it wasn't a
cancer, but fortunately or
unfortunately they found breast
cancer right next to it, a very small
breast cancer next to that lump. So,
when she delivered the news to me,
when she told me I remember it being
a real kick in the guts, I was upset,
I was distressed, I was worried sick
about her.

23
00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:57,207
Fortunately, it was in the early
stages, but she still had to have
some pretty invasive procedures,
including the removal of the lump, so
she had to have an operation, she had
to have surgery, she had to have a
lymphnode removed from under her arm
to check to see if the cancer had
metastasized, that is that it's
spreading through the body, and she
also had to have radiotherapy on that
area of her breast to kill any other
cancer cells that may have been left
after the operation.

24
00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:22,190
As things would have it and as you
can probably tell from the tone of my
voice, the years rolled by and she
got better, she had regular check-ups
and there was never a sign of cancer
again, so now she's been cancer free
for the past 12 years. So, she's fit
as a fiddle. However, when I first
found out the news that she had
breast cancer, it was a real kick in
the guts, it was a kick in the teeth,
it was a kick in the stomach, it was
horrible.

25
00:11:22,910 --> 00:12:07,220
Example number two, so imagine you've
been with your girlfriend or
boyfriend for years, right? You've
been together for yonks, you've had a
relationship for donkey's years, for
a long time, ever since you first
met. You've got along like a house on
fire, really, really well and it
wasn't long after this that you
shacked up, you started going out,
you eventually ended up in a long
term relationship with this partner,
you moved in together and it's been a
few years since then, but things are
starting to fall apart, so you don't
really get along like you used to,
you always seem to grate on each
other, you seem to rub each other the
wrong way and eventually you hear
through the grapevine, you hear
through gossip through other people
that your partner has been cheating
on you with the postman.

26
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:26,668
So, where each day you go to work,
the postman arrives after that to
deliver the mail, but he is doing
more than that. He's coming into your
house and he's getting jiggy with you
missus, right? He's doing the nasty
with your missus. So, when you
discovered this deception, this
betrayal, you feel gutted, you feel
upset, you feel like what she's done
is a kick in the guts. You feel
horrible.

27
00:12:31,178 --> 00:13:01,215
Example number three, and this is
probably true for many of you guys.
Imagine your studying your arse off
trying to complete the IELTS exam to
come to Australia. You need to get a
band score of maybe seven point five
or eight in the exam, which I know is
pretty high up and you need this, so
that you can enter university and
start your business degree or
commerce degree in Australia. So, you
work your ass off, you work hard,
you'll put in all the hard yakka, you
study every single day, you put in
loads of time and effort levelling up
your English to have the best
possible shot at getting the score
you want.

28
00:13:08,589 --> 00:13:25,060
The day finally comes around and you
rock up to the exam venue, you arrive
there, you sit down and you complete
the exam quickly, you feel like
you've smashed it out, it was a synch
, it was easy and you're going to
pass it with flying colours, you have
no doubt in your mind you'll get the
score you want.

29
00:13:25,116 --> 00:14:04,849
Whilst you wait for the results,
though, to be announced, you're
incredibly excited, but you're also
nervous, right? You might be moving
around, you've got ants in your
pants, you can't sit still and you
finally find out your score and it's
a seven. It's lower than the seven
point five that you needed if that
was the minimum, right? So, you feel
awful, you're upset, you're
disappointed, you're low, you could
say that when you received this bad
news about your results not being
sufficient it was a real kick in the
guts, it was a kick in the teeth, you
were absolutely gutted, you were
devastated when you found out that
you just missed out on the score
you'd needed and I hope that doesn't
happen to you, guys.

30
00:14:05,390 --> 00:14:34,100
So, the expression 'a kick in the
guts' it is a severe blow to your
body or spirit, so it can be a
literal kick in the guts, someone
could kick you in the guts, but we
use this figuratively to mean
something that makes you feel
disappointed, upset and especially
when it's something you've been
trying hard to achieve, like in the
IELTS example there, and remember
you'll also hear this as 'a kick in
the teeth' and 'a kick in the
stomach', but in Australia 'a kick in
the guts' is very popular.

31
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:52,950
So, as usual, let's go through a
little listen and repeat exercise
guys where you can pay attention to
my pronunciation, you can work on
your Aussie accent if that is your
goal or you can obviously just work
on your connected speech and whatever
other English accent that you're
trying to improve, ok? So, listen and
repeat after me.

32
00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:55,130
A

33
00:14:59,059 --> 00:15:00,059
A kick

34
00:15:00,578 --> 00:15:01,578
A kick in

35
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:04,190
A kick in the

36
00:15:07,290 --> 00:15:09,150
A kick in the guts x 5

37
00:15:32,490 --> 00:15:52,230
So, now I'm going to go through and
conjugate the phrase 'I felt it like
a kick in the guts', 'you felt it
like a kick in the guts', but I'm
going to say this more naturally, ok?
I'm not going to really split the
words up, I will say it fluidly as I
would using connected speech, ok? So,
listen and repeat after me and pay
attention to my pronunciation.

38
00:15:53,550 --> 00:15:56,059
I felt it like a kick in the guts.

39
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,389
You felt it like a kick in the guts.

40
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,850
He felt it like a kick in the guts.

41
00:16:24,370 --> 00:16:27,489
She felt it like a kick in the guts.

42
00:16:34,810 --> 00:16:37,679
We felt it like a kick in the guts.

43
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:47,980
They felt it like a kick in the guts.

44
00:16:55,370 --> 00:16:58,220
It felt like a kick in the guts.

45
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:49,840
Good job! So, there's a few
interesting things going on there
connected speech wise where, for
instance. you might hear that T at
the end of the word felt, if I
pronounce it very well, felt, what
happens to the T when I say it in
these sentences? I felt it, I felt
it, you felt it. It turns into the T
flap, ok? I felt it like a kick in
the guts and the L there instead of
saying felt, I'm saying it as a dark
L, so it sounds more like a reverse
WU sound, right? Have a listen: felt,
felt, instead of felt, felt, so it's
all lips and not tongue. Felt, felt.

46
00:17:49,876 --> 00:18:07,469
Anyway, if you want to learn more
about connected speech and
pronunciation, make sure you go to
the Aussie English website, sign up
for the courses there guys, join the
Aussie English Classroom and you'll
be able to level up your English
rapidly if you follow my courses and
lessons on pronunciation.

47
00:18:08,070 --> 00:18:42,630
So, as usual let's go through the
Aussie fact and then we'll finish up.
S,o today the expression was 'a kick
in the guts' and I was thinking ok,
Gutsy. Gutsy means something that is
very brave, right? Or courageous, if
you're a gutsy person, you're a brave
and courageous person, so I was
thinking ok, Aussie explorers,
Antarctic explorers. Initially I
thought Shackleton, I did the entire
thing on Shackleton and then I
realised he's not Australian. So,
redid it again on Mawson. So, Sir
Douglas Mawson is the guy that we're
going to be talking about today.

48
00:18:42,660 --> 00:19:07,740
Sir Douglas Mawson was born on the
5th of May in 1882 in Shipley West
Yorkshire, but before he even turned
two years old his family immigrated
to Australia and settled in Rooty
Hill, now in the western suburbs of
Sydney. He attended Fort Street Model
School and the University of Sydney
where he graduated in 1902 with a
Bachelor of Engineering degree.

49
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:27,132
In 1903 he was appointed a geologist
on an expedition to the New Hebrides,
now known as Vanuatu and conducted
the earliest geological work in
Melanesia. Soon after, he became a
lecturer in petrology and minearology
at the University of Adelaide, in
1905.

50
00:19:27,204 --> 00:20:06,630
Mawson joined the famous British
explorer Ernest Shackleton on his
Nimrod Expedition in 1907 to 1909 to
the Antarctic, where he originally
intended to only stay for the
duration of the ship's presence in
the first summer. Instead, both he
and his mentor Edgeworth David stayed
an extra year in the frozen south. As
a result, and alongside Allistair
Mackay,  they became the first men to
climb the summit of Mount Erebus,
Antarctica's most active volcano and
to treck to the South Magnetic Pole,
which at the time was overland.

51
00:20:07,260 --> 00:21:09,710
The team managed to get within 180
kilometres of the South Pole,
reaching a latitude of 88 degrees
south, which at the time was the
closest any human being had ever
gotten to the South Pole. During this
trip, Mawson sharpened his Antarctic
exploring skills and carried out
extensive geological, zoological, and
meteorology work. In 1910 Mawson was
invited to join Robert Falcon Scott's
Terra Nova expedition to Antarctica,
which had the intention of finally
being the first team to reach the
South Pole. However, Mawson had other
ideas in mind. He was hoping to
launch his own expedition in the near
future. However, Australian geologist
Griffith Taylor jumped on the
opportunity and joined the Terra Nova
Expedition in Mawson's place, a
choice that would prove fortunate for
Mawson and fatal for Taylor when
Scott and his entire Terra Nova team
died on their return journey after
successfully reaching the South Pole.

52
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:47,482
Mawson ended up leading his own
expedition the Australasian Antarctic
expedition to King George V Land and
Adelie Land, the sector of the
Antarctic continent immediately south
of Australia, which until then had
remained almost entirely unexplored.
The objectives were to carry out
geographical exploration and
scientific studies, including a visit
to the South Magnetic Pole. Mawson
raised the necessary funds within
only 12 months from both the British
and the Australian governments, as
well as from commercial backers
interested in mining and whaling.

53
00:21:48,450 --> 00:22:00,504
The expedition using the ship S.Y.
Aurora, commanded by Captain John
King Davis, departed from Hobart on
the 2nd of December 1911 and landed
at Cape Denison, at Commonwealth Bay,
on the 8th of January in 1912, where
the main base was established.

54
00:22:06,473 --> 00:23:01,112
A second camp was located to the
west, on the ice shelf in Queen Mary
Land. Cape Denison proved to be an
inhospitable and unrelentingly windy
place, where the average annual wind
speed was up to 80 kilometres an hour
with some winds reaching up to three
hundred and twenty kilometres per
hour. Mawson and his team built a
hut, which in the future would come
to be known as Mawson's hut on the
Rocky Cape and managed to winter
through nearly constant blizzards in
the first year. Mawson's exploration
program was carried out by five
parties from the main base and two
from the western base. Mawson himself
was part of a three man sledging
team, the far eastern party with
Xavier Mertz and Lieutenant Belgrave
Ninnies, who travelled east on the
10th of November 1912 with the aim of
surveying King George the fifth land.

55
00:23:02,430 --> 00:23:55,260
After five weeks of exceptional
progress mapping the coastline and
collecting geological samples, the
party found itself crossing the
Ninnis glacier, 480 kilometres east
of the main base. Mertz was skiing
along in front and Mawson was on his
sled with his weight dispersed, but
Ninnis was jogging beside the second
sled and due to his body weight on
the ice, Ninnis suddenly fell through
a crevasse when he breached the snow
bridge that was covering it, along
with Ninnis the massive crevasse
swallowed up the six best dogs on the
team, most of the party's rations,
their tent and other essential
supplies. Mertz and Mawson were
spared and from the mouth of the icy
ravine, they spotted one dead and one
injured dog on a ledge, 165 feet
below them. However, Ninnis was never
seen again.

56
00:23:55,980 --> 00:24:33,000
After a brief service, Mawson and
Mertz turned back immediately. They
had one week's provisions for the two
of them, plenty of fuel and primus, a
small portable stove, but no dog food
for the remaining dogs. They sledged
for 27 hours continuously to obtain a
spare tent cover that they had left
behind, for which they improvised a
frame from skis and some surveying
equipment. Their provisions
dwindling, they were faced with the
unpleasant but unavoidable option of
using their remaining sled dogs to
feed the other dogs as well as
themselves. Mawson later wrote:.

57
00:24:33,720 --> 00:25:08,169
"Their meat was stringy, tough and
without a vestige of fat. For a
change, we sometimes chopped it up
finely, mixed it with a little
pemmican, and brought all to a boil
in a large pot of water. We were
exceedingly hungry, but there was
nothing to satisfy our appetites.
Only a few ounces were used of the
stock of ordinary food, to which we
added a portion of dog's meat never
large for each animal yielded so very
little and the major part was fed to
the surviving dogs. They crunched the
bones and ate the skin until nothing
remained."

58
00:25:08,970 --> 00:26:02,219
The men's physical condition rapidly
deteriorated during this journey.
Both men experienced symptoms of
dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain,
irrationality, mucosal fissuring,
skin hair and nail loss and even
yellowing of the eyes and skin.
Later, Mawson noticed a dramatic
change in his travelling companion.
Mertz seemed to lose all will to move
and only wanted to stay in his
sleeping bag, as his deterioration
sped up and he suffered from
diarrhoea and madness. It got to such
a point that on one occasion Mertz
refused to believe he was suffering
from frostbite and bit off the tip of
his own little finger. Soon after,
Mertz began to enter fits of violent
rage and Mawson was forced to sit on
his companions chest and hold his
arms down to prevent him from
damaging their tent.

59
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:44,469
Mertz suffered further seizures
before falling into a coma and
tragically dying on the 8th of
January in 1913. At the time, Mawson
had no idea what was the cause of
their sickness. What ultimately
proved to be the culprit was the
husky liver they'd been eating, which
contains extremely high levels of
vitamin A, unknown to them at the
time, such levels of vitamin A can
cause liver damage to humans and
together the men had consumed six
dogs between them, with a liver on
average weighing a kilogram. Thus,
it's believed the pair ingested
enough liver to bring on a condition
known as Hypervitaminosis A.

60
00:26:45,150 --> 00:27:09,601
Mertz likely suffered more because he
found the tough muscle tissue hard to
eat and, therefore, ate more of the
liver than Mawson. The sole survivor
Mawson continued the final 160
kilometres, during this return trip
to the main base he was confronted
with the same fate of Ninnis when he
fell through the lid of an icy
crevasse and was only saved by the
skin of his teeth when his sledge
wedged itself into the ice above him.
He managed to climb out using the
harness that connected him to the
sled.

61
00:27:17,894 --> 00:27:44,990
When Mawson finally made it back to
Cape Denison, it turned out he only
just missed the ship Aurora, which
had departed a mere few hours
earlier. It was recalled by wireless
communication, however, due to bad
weather the rescue effort was
thwarted and the boat was prevented
from turning back. Mawson and six men
who had remained behind to look for
him, wintered a second year in
Antarctica until December 1913.

62
00:27:45,005 --> 00:28:32,419
Unlike fellow explorers of the era
Scott and Shackleton, Mawson's life
wasn't destined to be extinguished on
the vast frozen southern continent.
Once home and recuperating, he got to
work writing his account of the
expedition in his book 'Home of the
Blizzard', profusely illustrated by
the magnificent photographs of Frank
Hurley. The book is a classic of
polar literature and described the
first major scientific exploring
venture by Australians beyond their
shores. His party and those at the
Western base had explored large areas
of the Antarctic coast describing its
geology, biology and meteorology and
more closely defining the location of
the South Magnetic Pole.

63
00:28:33,170 --> 00:29:06,229
On his return to Australia in 1914,
Mawson received public acclaim for
his achievements and even received a
knighthood. In 1915, he received
numerous awards for his accolades and
later went on to serve in World War
I. He became a professor of geology
at Mineralogy at Adelaide University,
as well as pursued his interests in
conservation farming and forestry
until the day he died on the 14th of
October, in 1958, at the ripe old age
of 76.

64
00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:18,259
By leading Australia's first
Antarctic Research Expedition, Mawson
became an internationally acclaimed
scientist and explorer, firmly etched
into the legend of Australia.

65
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:36,585
So, that was a long one, guys, but I
really wanted to tell you the entire
story as best I could about Mawson
because it was an amazing story of
survival in the hostile Antarctic
conditions. I hope you enjoy it, I
hope you learnt a bunch of
expressions, slang and other bits and
pieces of English and I will see you
next week. Peace out!
