Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- As mentioned in the notes, Shona told her parents that this was a Geography trip. However, when the group is being waved off by their parents, they are all wearing bright yellow T-shirts printed with "West Fulkirk UFO Club" - you would think that Shona's Mother (who was present) would notice...

Notes
ADD NOTES- While getting ready for their trip we learn a number of things: Firstly, Shona told her parents that the trip is for Georgraphy, as she does not believe she would have been allowed to go on a UFO hunt. Secondly, Chrissie is going so she can be with Simon. Finally, Harry suffers from epilepsy and is taking medication. However, he has not had a fit for over two years, so decides to leave his medication behind. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Gerry: [Piece to camera] Hello, I'm Gerry Simons, a form teacher at the West Falkirk Academy, and founder of the school's UFO club. These people with me are all winners. They put their name in a draw last week to go on the club's annual trip, and this year, it's a very special trip. It's to find... Simon: Spacemen! Chrissie: Aliens! Lucy: Martians! Gerry: Extra terrestial activity, in Australia! [Group cheers] Gerry: Quiet, quiet, right now read this very carefully because this is the reason that we're going to Australia. A local family, the O'Donals, recently experienced a possible UFO encounter whilst hiking in the outback. Leon:UFO's, wicked or what! Simon: [Reading from sheet] They were driving along a trail in the bush when suddenly everything began to shake and the jeep was lifted into the air! David: And they saw this giant silver triangle pulling them towards it. Gerry: Correct. Sarah: Then the next second they were on the ground again in a clearing in the bush about 30 miles from the trail. Chrissie: How did that happen? Gerry: That's not all, there's no road in or out, so no one can explain how they got there. Harry: Excuse me, that's where we're going? Gerry: The Paramundi Canyon, there have been six UFO encounters in the same area, and that's where we'll set up camp, right in the middle. Chrissie: Camp? Err, Sir excuse me is that as in tents? Gerry: Erm, now we'll be using all of our usual monitering equipment but we'll also be recording our minute-to-minute experiences with these. [Gerry distributes five Sony DV Cameras amongst the team] Sarah: Yeah, if the boys give us a chance. Gerry: Now look, I've borrowed these from the film club so be careful. We'll each get a turn, we'll each make a video diary, recording our experiences, and we'll show them to the school like a documentry when we get back. So, before you go, take one of these - a breifing pack, and, err, an equipment list, OK, and go, film everything! [Group cheers] Edit
