Just couldnt wait to see every new video Malcolm released. I remember meeting him watching his movie at primary school in the late 70s. He used to visit schools showing his videos. Then later tv channels screened them. Absolutely loved them. For me it was Malcolm Douglas, Jack Absalom, and Major Les Hiddons aka the bush tucker man who stole the show.

man it must have been nice to be alive back when the oceans weren't completely fished out. the abundance is insane in this vid.

[@danielmackenzie6709]

Very entertaining video, so many fish! Interesting to see that the indigenous could live the hunter lifestyle sustainably because primitive fishing techniques limited their catch. Given modern equipment they fish all day with excitement. I know they are feeding their families and that’s good but it’s reflective of society today. We went mad with our technology and raked the oceans. I love fishing and keep the odd one for a feed but please never take more than you need and always respect the great big blue. It’s not like it was 50 years ago and things are only getting worse.

Anybody got a hint for me on what is this soundtrack used in the early films of Malcolm? The smooth guitar tracks.. i love them, but cant find any clue on the internet. Thanks in advance

[@paulchalk2939]

Most likely to be Don Burroughs, a jazz flautist who was a fixture on the Australian Broadcasting Commission. He had a long career with his ensemble doing TV shows and soundtracks.

It was the same guy the whole time I think, there is an episode where he is actually with Malcolm playing his flute in the Kimberly. Frankly my favourite tune was the jazzy one of 1969 across the top end when Malcolm was gutting a 4 metre croc.
