Wednesday, cup of coffee, another Bush Tucker Man - beautiful middle of the week. Love that series. Cheers from Poland.

[@ryanpedersen5722]

Great to see you watching an Australian classic :) all the way from Poland Gday from Australia

[@RandellMonaghan]

Les is my hero, i love the Australian outback because of this man, his heart for the original in habitants and there lessons and culture has educated a generation of Australians and affected them is such a positive way. He's so humble, too humble, he basically pioneered the documentation and identification of Australian bush tucker not that he will outwardly say it was all him. Think it's about time he was renamed Sir Les Hiddins.

[@deanriley5690]

Never watched Malcolm Douglas???

[@secretstreamsandfeverdreams]

Re watching these as an adult and I am more and more impressed with Lez, what a true ledgend

[@Rosshenderson]

Hmmmm didn't know that les spelled his name with a z

[@Ty-dz9ed]

@@Rosshenderson get over it mate...

[@jjw2632]

first to comment so heres my take . This bloke and Malcolm Douglas. Best docos on Aussie landscape with a deep respect and acknowledgement of Aboriginal customs and knowledge . Way before their time . Time to heal

[@shanefraser7764]

Malcolm was awesome to watch,

[@shonkytonky]

A fantastic communicator with a great sense of humour. Been watching these shows since before I emigrated to Aus in 2003. The Outback as portrayed by Les is one of the reason I came to Aus. A national treasure. Thankyou.

[@tubefishing6969]

can you imagine how much fun the crew had filming all these episodes? amazing

[@bmrt1000]

Miss this series! Used to watch it as kids...something in our house that wasn't missed!

[@jimmyh8090]

Thanks for uploading this , I loved this show back when it was on tv and it's still excellent after all these years . Thanks Les, bush tucker man you are a legend 👍👍

[@sasquatchfoote8235]

Brilliant, required viewing in my house as a kid 👍

[@mckseal]

Tell you what, this here's a great example of a place to get a feed. This spot by the edge of the waterhole is close enough to the road that every now and then a wild Les Hiddins will come by and just drop in some delicious steaks! ~A Yabbie

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

Also a place where some dumb city slicker/foreigner will casually drop in for lunch with me. Mick Dundee's Mate.

[@0088tjw]

Currently travelling Australia, because of my idols like Les Higgins, The Legend, cheers for the inspiration 👍

[@td4dotnet]

Thanks so much ABC Australia not only is The BTM (still) superb but it takes me on a massive nostalgia trip every time a fresh episode is posted. Cheers guys!

[@kalebarancelovic]

Never seen this episode before. Seen the others dozens of times. Thanks for uploading

[@ameebedford9555]

[@barryuppman9212]

Magical and bloody good music

[@PAGANONYMOUS]

One day I'll spend £10, buy a ticket and emigrate. ;-) Love watching this again! used to watch this on cable TV back in the 80s In UK

[@TradieTrev]

"I don't have a beer but book to read" Such a classic!

[@simonRTJ]

Les was a regular fixture on British TV in the 80's, and I couldn't get enough! my dad and I loved this series, it kindled a fascination with the Antipodes and travel in general, i now live in New Zealand. I do not doubt that the bush tucker man has saved lives in Australia. good on 'im!

[@somethingelse4878]

Used to watch this on sky tv uk in 1993 and loved it then and still do

[@ColinVanderheide]

Bush Tucker Man ... Maj Les Higgins A bloody Aussie legend First thing I noticed .. He does use FRE D👍👍 If you are the Army you know what FRED is

[@JuanPablo-kj9dg]

Just finished Malcolm Douglas series and came across Lez, love these adventurers showing the wild heart of Australia.

[@Rosshenderson]

Who's Lez. I know a leS with a actual s instead of the z does this programme

[@adventure002006]

Just stumbled upon this series. Great information on one the most amazing Continents in the World. Surprised how old this series is, feels like it was just filmed weeks ago. Look forward to watching the rest of the seasons and episodes.

[@joeadams1225]

Great series, Vale Rory, another " One-Off".

[@bundydryandlime]

What was going on there with the washing machine scene and the book? 11:35 🤣 I can't unsee it now.

[@williamfenton8733]

Brilliant stuff. Pity that we don't seem to listen to what the trees are telling as Les suggested.

[@WestOzCards]

YAY another Ep. haha Seriously awesome.

[@alaskajdw]

Glad I found this show. Very interesting

[@JohnPanto]

As an old matelot to an old pongo.you had a great number here and thank for being so interesting

[@simonhenry3815]

I watched Les as a kid in the 90's and now wonder why it is that I found so much solace when I lived in Weipa, the Boulia Triangle and out to the west chasing shale oil in the Georgina Basin

[@kwacker45]

Loved this show

[@HappySnappyChappy]

He's not just wandering around going "Oh look - figs!", he's obviously got enough understanding of the tree AND roots to be able to say "Now I can identify this plant from underground, like, if I happen to be bimbling about in a lava tunnel and fancy some tucker" THAT's Botany!!!! :o)

[@robroy6804]

love the air con ..........

[@evewright1102]

Just enjoy watching the Bush Tucker Man, learn a lot of survival skills incase its needed.👍

[@alistairmills7608]

Gosh I love this.

[@Womble1252]

I forgot how great the score musc was 😊

[@trevorhancock2740]

Best thing on KZbin

[@twodogswalking840]

Les is one of the best. Malcolm Douglas was a legend too. Been watching these shows since they began but one thing I'm wondering to this day. What's with the unusual hat? I've never seen anyone else wear one ever and I'm Australian. What style is it? Is it Les Hiddins own bash?

[@Insideoutie]

Where was that music coming from during the drone footage at the lost city? I can't make up if it is coming from the drone or from one of the buildings.

[@shanefraser7764]

In true Spirit of Malcolm Douglas mate, watching from kiwi land,

[@matthewharris-davies8368]

Mate this is my country, I grew up in the tablelands and worked in the golf. No better country. Not quite the same now but still unbelievable.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

You "worked in the golf"?? Well we can see what your handicap is. 🙄😊

[@sarcasmo57]

Makes me want to go for an explore.

[@raypestrapur2897]

I lived and roamed in the bush with Gudjil Gudjil and Jimmy Goona Goona.

[@raypestrapur2897]

How astounding and wonderful, good for you.

“Along the track you find these government bores” even in the Bush you can’t get away from bloody politicians! 😁

Classic! That fruit is young guava. Better to eat it if its ripe, it will be soft and sweet. :) less you hungry and needs to it for survival.

Very similar to how Native American tribes got eagle feathers. Amazing

[@dancingrook8553]

man there's something about the word saturated that tickles my pickle. The way it sounds on the ear and rolls off the tongue

[@ajonnieq2002]

HEY YA LES. HOPE YOU ARE WELL. CHEERS JONNIE THE PHOTOGRAPHER... BORRALOOLA 99.

[@bluntox]

I reckon they were after what we call black kites or square tailed Kites

[@WatchTheMoss]

Does Les ever make comments on here?

Sir Les Hiddins

[@timothymcdonald6913]

This show is scripted and shot, but it is still a really nice bit of the real thing as to the real bit of what one should expect and look for in the areas covered in the shows, Kudos to Leslie Higgins, Sir I think you are one of a few with a true spirit of adventure. Thank you!

[@mycrypto2366]

what do you think about Malcolm Douglas mate?

[@FredMcCubbin]

Excuse my ignorance but why would you want to catch a hawk?

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

With all the developments in technology, digital cameras, drones etc. Why it is that content as good as this isn't being made these days? We are presented with ever increasing numbers of junk programs and nobody seems to be interested in making really great TV???

[@bazza2540]

Nah mate gotta walk out a Toyota dealership then straight to ARB fro $30,000 of shityoudontneed and bounce those 33's over a rock that's not even on the track until you bust a diff

[@Womble1252]

Scottys gone walkabout is a great self made Oz channel

[@keithknight5973]

what's amazing is native American tribes would do the same thing to catch eagles for the feathers for ther headress

[@stewartlowe4597]

(I'll do this again) Seriously: what happened to Les Hiddin's hat? It should have ended up on display in the Bushman's Hall of Fame as cultural memorabilia the way Gene Krantz's vest and Indiana Jones leather jacket do in the Smithsonian in Washington.

[@georgemcaulay6009]

ABC just announced they're restricting this series in a few weeks. Dunno if that means repeats or new episodes. 24/9/2022

Lava flowed for almost 100 km? Not likely. But the tubes are there, and they are almost 100 km long.... so.. obviously there is another, ignored, explanation.
