Tourism is a big thing in Australia and when people want tourists to come to their town they make an ad.

Welcome to That’s Incredible! A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.
On today's episode, we're looking at the fascinating world of science!
Being curious and noticing things is what scientists do every day. They want to know why the world around us looks and feels the way it does and they’re REALLY curious. They like to look under rocks to see what lives there, they want to learn about what’s living in the lint in your belly button and they want to know what’s going on in outer space.
When a scientist comes home at the end of the day they might have discovered something no-one else has ever known before. How amazing is that!
And today we’re going to meet a scientist whose office is one of the hottest and scariest places in the world, a volcano.
Ready? Let's go!

Have you heard of Citizen Science? It’s where people, just like you, do things to help scientists collect data!
It might be counting the number of birds in your backyard or going for a walk in the forest and collecting some fungi or finding samples of possum poo and sending it to a lab (you might want to wear gloves for that one).
Welcome to That’s Incredible! A podcast about the unexpectedly awesome things that are all around us.

When you’re sitting down to watch a movie do you ever think about all the things that need to happen to get it onto your TV or movie screen?
All the people who work behind the scenes? All the hours of footage they shoot and the editors sitting in dark rooms for weeks on end making sure it all looks perfect?
On today’s episode, we learn some awesome facts about the world of movies and talk to actress Morgan Griffin about what it's like to be on the set of a Hollywood film.

Now it’s time to take what you’ve learned out into your everyday life.
One of the really wonderful things about food is it’s so different depending on where you are in the world. Trying different cuisines and delicacies is an awesome way to get a taste of different cultures but you don’t have to travel to do it!
Choose a food from another country you’ve never tried and ask a grown up to help you find it in your hometown. Maybe there’s a sushi train near by and you can try eel or raw fish! Or maybe you’ve never had a crepe, which are popular in France.
Be as adventurous as you like or, go one step further...find a recipe and try to make at home.
Send us a photo of the interesting international food you tried at podcast@mamamia.com.au.

Time to take what you’ve learned today out into your everyday. Have you heard of postcards? Or have you ever sent one to someone when you were on holiday? Before emails, everyone used to send postcards when they were on holiday. And did you know you don’t actually have to buy one from a shop? Any piece of paper the size of an envelope can be a postcard if you just put a stamp on it!
We’d love you to send us a postcard either from somewhere you go on holiday or from home. You can design one yourself with drawings of where you’ve been or improvise with something you find around the house that might make a cool postcard.
Take a photo of it and send it to us at podcast@mamamia.com.au so we can find out more about the traveling you’ve done!
Maybe you went on a mini-adventure to the local park or somewhere close to home? Adventures don’t have to be far away to be exciting! So we’d love to get a postcard from you telling us all about your little or big travels.
