## Biography

### *Thomas & Friends*

In *Outback Thomas*, in Australia, Thomas is delivering trucks to Pine Tree Station when Shane pulls up alongside him. When the both arrive at the station, Shane picks up some passengers to take on an outback adventure which Thomas joins him on. He becomes impressed with Shane's showmanship in showing people the sights, including the crocodiles in Kakadu National Park, termite mounds and Isla, the Doctor's plane.

A few days later, Thomas is delivering some more trucks to Pine Tree when he sees Shane's coaches, Aubrey and Aiden. Shane's late pulling them, so when Shane's passengers see Thomas, they think that he is their outback tour train. Thomas considers telling them the truth, but decides that it might be fun to be the outback tour guide himself.

Unfortunately, since he does not know anything about Australia, he attempts to make up some facts about it himself based on what he can remember about what Shane told him. This ends up with Aubrey and Aiden laughing at his failed attempts, and his passengers questioning whether he is actually their tour guide.

Thomas later takes a wrong track, but does not listen to Aubrey's warnings as it would have to mean admitting he is not actually the tour guide. This ends up with Thomas on an old rickety bridge, where he tries to get Isla to help him. Isla, however, leaves and Shane is able to rescue Thomas. Thomas later admits to Shane about what he did, to which Shane sees the funny side about Thomas' facts.

In *Laid Back Shane,* Shane has too much fun to stop and refuel until he runs out of coal and is stranded in the desert. Later, Aubrey and Aiden were told him to refuel the coal.

In *Ace's Brave Jump*, Thomas is in Australia when he sees Ace jumping over a ramp. But then, Ace spots a kangaroo, and when he lands on the ground he goes as fast as he can to avoid it. Thomas is surprised but happy to meet Ace again, and Ace feels the same for Thomas. Ace tells Thomas that he is going to compete in the Super Stunt Rally, and is practicing. But then, the kangaroo comes again, and Ace, while trying to get away from it, scares it away. Ace confides in Thomas that he is scared of animals.  Thomas wants to help Ace in order to help him get a record-breaking jump of 25 double-decker buses, so he invites Ace along with his job in order to help show him that animals are not scary. At first, Ace is nervous, but as he sees more and more animals, he stops being scared of them and grows to like them.  The next day, Thomas is ready to watch Ace do his jump, but he realizes that none of the buses have shown up, likely because they were scared of being jumped over. Thomas, Tamika, Shane, Aubrey, and Aiden decide to position themselves on the track so that Ace can jump over them, and the Super Stunt Rally is a success.
