So I've been down there and I've been opened down park streets. And then after I left school, when you put out the last message

saying you're not far from your new home. I went and picked up my daughter at Albert Park and as they were driving home and one hang on a minute York Street. Maybe they're near there, the grand old Duke of York. Did you get from there?

Everyone's going to kill me, but we're going to go to one more break and then we will come back. And I promise on the other side of this, Liam you can reveal to Melbourne where the hell we've been hiding for Melbourne's biggest game of hide and Seek? On over one hundred Melbourn's biggest game of hide and Seek has gone off. We've got Liam from Elwood here who's just won over eighty four thousand dollars cash.

Speaker 1

We've spoken of the missus. She's pretty rapped. You're very emotional.

Speaker 2

Yes, now, good on you, mate. Honestly, I'm so wrapped. You seem like a bloody good guy. Everyone has been competing against you to find us.

Speaker 3

There's been a lot. I've seen many people eight on the streets when they've been running around all weekend.

Speaker 1

Should we run through the clothes of what they mean? Do you feel like you've been winning the race though? Do you feel like you've sort of been ahead?

Speaker 3

Well, not know that I'm at the funest land nor because they've been looking more on the other side of the sad Really. Yeah, I haven't been looking around here at all, which is crazy, and you think about it because it's so close to around. I love myself. Yeah, so it was actually gone further a feat.

Speaker 2

Let's tell everyone now where we are and then we'll run through the clues and unpack.

Speaker 7

Okay, the street address is four to seven City Road, South Melbourne.

Speaker 2

So we are in a vacant office building. Is where we've been hiding because all our bedrooms are like little offices off to the side, and it's above the du Luxe Paint Trade Center.

Speaker 1

There's a giant Folle sign out the front.

Speaker 7

Now we're gonna run through all of these clues. So first of all, on Friday, the first clue was Sunshine is West.

Speaker 3

Yep.

Speaker 2

If you look out the windows where we are, Sunshine, the suburb is to our west. Clue number two add me together and you get eleven. Will you nail that earlier?

Speaker 3

Yep?

Speaker 5

Liam, you know how that one worked?

Speaker 3

Well? Obviously it's the our address for a zero seven.

Speaker 5

To get eleven.

Speaker 2

Clint.

Speaker 1

If we look out the window, we see red. Now this all clicked when you got to this address, right.

Speaker 3

Yes, because there's a bells and across the road and the front of it is pented breight box red.

Speaker 1

Yeah. I don't know what they're doing there.

Speaker 5

Brick of it is painted red, every brick of it.

Speaker 2

Over the weekend as well, there is also a giant ninety nine bikes that has a red logo, and that's next door as well.

Speaker 7

Yes, all right. Then on Saturday we said all eyes are on us.

Speaker 1

Yes, Giant Security Services next door.

Speaker 5

Yeah, did you know that one?

Speaker 3

No?

Speaker 5

No, now this one, sorry, but we have to dash. Does that mean anything to you?

Speaker 6

No?

Speaker 3

That one was bogging me. The little tau was looking for the running tracks, all different things.

Speaker 7

So we're above the Jewelux Trade Center, which many people would know on City Road.

Speaker 5

It's a big Jeweluxe store.

Speaker 7

And the Jewelux dog's name is Dash.

Speaker 3

That thing gives me neat this one.

Speaker 2

We are here one of ninety six stops, the ninety six tram line is along here.

Speaker 7

So that well it's not along here, but it's very very close. Is that one that helped you?

Speaker 2

That's was that and the last clue with the two God direct because a lot of people then headed to sin Kilda, which we eliminated.

Speaker 7

It was stairway to Heaven and everyone, well not everyone. A lot of people went to the Palais, which we didn't even know. Apparently there is a led Zeppelin tribute.

Speaker 8

Happening there next week, and the Pale called and said, please tell people you are not here, but it's actually stairway to heaven, because the first thing you see when you look in the glass doors the stairs.

Speaker 3

You got it.

Speaker 2

And the final one that brought you to us is turns out we are not far from our new home.

Speaker 1

We are literally two streets from No.

Speaker 7

One hundred in South We always say Jace doesn't like leaving his suburbs, and once again he didn't leave his suburb.

Speaker 2

We are above the du Luxe Trade Center, four seven City Road in South Melbourne is where we have been hiding. And Liham from Elwood is eighty four thousand dollars.

Speaker 7

Thank you so much, Liam, I'm so thrilled for you. How are you going to celebrate?

Speaker 4

Oh?

Speaker 3

I think I have to pay Bobby Bobble? Think?

Speaker 1

What about a Guinness?

Speaker 3

Come on, I don't drink it? Oh can't you?

Speaker 8

No?

Speaker 3

It just does not agree with me.

Speaker 5

You know what, white repulsive. Let's go to an Irish pup, y'all.

Speaker 1

I'd love one more night off put the kids to be. Can we just not tell me? He Liam? Do you think we should do this again?

Speaker 2

Ah?

Speaker 3

Yeah, it'd be greatful. Yeah, of course.

Speaker 5
