Best australian show ever created!!! Thank you Les. You are a true Australian legend.

[@billyzig]

What an amazing country. I've lived in Australia for 50 years and learned more about Australia via Les than my teachers at school. They don't make men like you anymore.

[@thornstrikesback]

The memories of watching this on the old tv with the family.

[@danielspain7231]

After buying Lofty wiseman’s book in ‘85 I then discovered Les Hiddins and my bushcraft interest began and has always remained. Thank you man …

[@Jackie-rc6cj]

I am so glad these episodes have been made available. This was a very well made living lybrary of the indiginous people, places and customs of Australian bush tucker. I was probably 10 when this first came out. How time flies. Thankyou.

[@stevebluh]

Bush Tucker Man was just really good TV back then, a highlight of the week for us.

[@joepineapples7774]

The pace of life suddenly increased when the crab went towards that lady (lol)

[@j.dunlop8295]

I taught along the NW Pacific Coast, Native tribal reservations, they'd say, "Tides out, the tables set!" Tidal crabs size of your hand, delicious!

[@Kwaka28]

One of the best shows ever made regarding Australia s beautiful but deadly bush.. everyone should watch this just to take on this mans knowledge and ability to tell you the secrets of survival especially working with the indigenous people.. thanks mate.. good job..

[@b.w.22]

I really appreciate the naturalist in this man, especially when coming from the Army. Though his mission was to research survival food, it appears he’s discovered a sort of survival philosophy from the bushmen that’s equally if not more important. His words about unconquerable lands are wise in many ways.

[@rawdog1999]

I was a little tacker when this first aired but there's still so much value to the content that was shared in this series. Doing this in a fashion that would reach today's generation would be an amazing service. This not being in ultra HD is the only reason why I think it wouldn't translate for them.

[@Chris-pc1om]

I'm a teenager but I still I love these episodes regardless of the picture quality. Some days I wish I had a time machine.

[@sarcasmo57]

The nature of monkey was irrepressible.

[@slickstrings]

@@Chris-pc1om i will say the late 80s and most of the 90s were pretty magical. Maybe thats just because thats when i grew up, but i reckon its because there wasnt so much rubbish around. No social media, no long term wars, no post 911 terrorist crap. Some might say now is better because we have everything on our phones or hundreds of movies to stream on demand, but there was a certain charm about playing tapes and waiting eagerly for your favourite show to come on in the afternoon, and getting up at 6am to catch the end of rage. Kids now just wont know the feeling.

Thanks ABC! really enjoying watching these all again!

[@OneHundredPercent-100]

We used to watch Bushtucker man when we were young guys in Scotland, early 1990's. Great TV and a great time in life.

[@joriah69]

Wonderful programme, many thanks

I love how paced this is. It's just relaxing. Shows these days need to slow down.

[@stefanavic6630]

From back when TV could still be a good thing, something to look forward to every week.

[@petercliff4023]

Brilliant episode. I agree, Les Hiddins is a absolute legend. People will watch these videos for years to come.

[@shengheng39lim88]

This is one of my favorite series!

[@dampri3182]

Les your the original OG Bear Grylls. Love your work, you’re a “Dead Set Legend”

[@prizecowproductions]

I'm surprised that no one has tried to grow the Pacific Almond commercially. That sort of protein level is phenomenal.

[@f1j11slander4]

The horse starved to death as well 🤣🤣

[@seanchristie7150]

Thanks for uploading. An absolute icon and great knowledge and insight into our past action and behaviours

[@coldpotatoes2556]

Les Hiddins has eaten so many oysters he’s found pearls….now there’s a man worth his weight in time.

[@davedunn4285]

Working with the country like the weather and nature work with it and you shouldn’t have problems . Well said Les

[@simonhenry3815]

Best thing that could ever come out of the ABC, I dived for crays with the TO's up at Lockhardt, invested a lifetime in Cape York.

[@bradthurkle7217]

My god I remember watching these shows in 70s as a kid. If my grandparents watched it, it must of been good and look it was. He put so much research and effort into his Ozzo docko’s which made it really pleasurable to watch. Made you feel like you were that at the time.

[@nathanroberts355]

I might go to cairns esplanade this weekend get some black lip oysters and fishing also

[@bluurks]

Great show. Absolute classic.

[@genevasimmonds8208]

Great show, Great bloke, remember it from years ago loved it then , nice to see again ,still love it.

This was a brilliant show. Used to watch it all the time. Les was such a skinny bloke back then. lol😁

[@johnnyq2773]

I wish I could get to Australia!!

[@greenvulcan8354]

Johnny Q. You could get here mate. Leaving again may be a problem.

[@Lucifurion]

Didn't know that about the coconuts up there, that they never grew because the Aboriginal people ate them too quickly for them to take root. Surprising that they didn't realize that leaving a few nuts to take root & grow would give them even more coconuts that they wouldn't have to look for, just collect. Maybe they did realize but just didn't care because they thought they were just too delicious to not eat right then & there. Interesting though to find out that they didn't start growing there until the missionaries planted them. And if I lived up there there'd be none of those oysters left, it'd be a couple of dozen every breakfast, lunch and dinner. The only thing better than freshly shucked oysters is oysters freshly shucked straight off the rocks.

[@fanaticforager6610]

One question.. why wouldn't coconut trees been there when Bligh was there.. ? coconuts would of drifted to the Australian mainland for thousands of years

[@b.w.22]

In no way meaning to be cheeky, but those aboriginals were there for thousands of years too. :)

[@michaelhamer1277]

great videos...one question..whats the akubra hat that les wears?..ive a snowy river one here in scotland, orkney...all the best...mick.

Eh? This is the sixth episode of the season they've recently posted. I've just binge watched them all and have the 7th lined up to watch next.

[@mikecranford1927]

Bligh's reason for calling it restoration island, in his own account, was that they landed there on the day of the anniversary of the restoration of king Charles II, perhaps a clever double meaning?

[@theoloutlaw]

For the 'woke' and 'left winged' ABC, it's good that somebody there still is there for the common person and releasing these episodes to be seen. I'm sure it wont last, somebody will complain and the ABC will naturally pull them down, but it's good to see these again.

[@fergspan5727]

They should stay up. Looks like a reply has been hidden

[@juz882010]

why dont they use those almonds for almond milk?

[@Footrotflats251]

Serious question, why do videos with aboriginal people have the warning saying it may have video and audio of people who have died?

[@tosgem]

Cultural sensitivity. A lot of Aboriginal traditions make it forbidden to speak of the dead, sometimes to even speak their name.

[@fergspan5727]

@@tosgem why isn’t there a warning on the 50 dollar note. Just a question .
