Bill Napier, NZ's finest park ranger is in lockdown with Jason Chaseman and his nemesis, Aussie ranger Ron Bradman. Taking a break from all the park work they create a TV show to inform and entertain, The Alone Rangers. In this first episode they look at what sports they can still play, post lockdown, and Ron entertains with a song.
The rangers are still alone in the park after three weeks of lockdown. In today's show Bill challenges Ron and Jason to a game of "What Tree Am I?"
Bill and Ron call a truce for ANZAC Day as the rangers commemorate the ANZACs. In Gallipoli, Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought alongside each other, later coined the ANZACs (Australia New Zealand Army Corps). They went on to fight together in many campaigns since. On the 25th of April every year we remember those who fought for a better world. To commemorate those who have fallen we attend dawn services and wear poppy flowers. The poppy's signify the poppy's in Flanders Fields on the Western Front. This year, because of COVID 19, people are being encouraged to stand in their driveway at 6am to show respect. #standatdawn In this episode the boys bake ANZAC biscuits. These biscuits were baked in Australia and NZ and posted to the front in Europe. The legend says they were sent to the front, but in fact they were baked for bake sales.
Welcome to Level 3! We’re not quite out of the bush yet though are we? Remember restaurants? Dining out? All seems like a dream now…
News that the show has gone viral upsets the rangers this week but at least Jason finally does the lawns!
Bill gets the news he has been dreading, we are at level 2…but will he tell Ron?
