Malcolm Douglas - Australia - One Wet Season (1984)

The annual monsoon season in the north floods the country. Malcolm spends three months filming the wet, travelling by 4WD and boat. A classic adventure taking the viewer from the barramundi fishermen of the Roper River to the Aboriginal out-stations of Arnhem Land.

Grew up watching him as a kid in Australia, still so watchable, a real adventurer and an Aussie icon.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Same. I grew up seeing re-runs of his adventures.

[@Sam123QU29]

Love Malcom. Watched him when I was a little kid and still watch him at 37

[@thePOWERofART-11]

incredible that malcolm hung out knee deep in croc infested waters, mozzies, jellyfish, snakes, spiders and lived but was sadly lost in a car roll over. mad. simply incredible adventurer.

I m still amazed by the talented indigenous bark painters love seeing the old LANDCRUISER always worth the time watching every episode Malcolm always reminded us in the bush mostly beautiful but danger can be just around the corner there's some beautiful Tucker in every episode RIP Malcolm thank you for teaching us about this beautiful land cheers stevo 🦘🦘🐨🐨🦎🦎

[@dohc_au]

Thank you for Bulla Bulla and Girra Girra for making that fantastic canoe! Just brilliant)

[@Antipodean33]

I remember these shows back in the day, everybody watched them and loved it. That bark canoe is a beauty, that shape they got is perfect. Interesting to note that only 2 of these fellas grew up with the knowledge of how to make one, the other 2 are fascinated in the building method

[@mrgoodwrench8181]

Saturday nights me and my dad would watch this.

[@TGASASSY]

Love watching this every now n then. My poppy Greg is an Australian legend 🫡

[@user-friendlyhuman]

I wish Malcolm was still alive. I wish we could go back in time.

[@aerorobnz]

The Toyota Landcruiser. The legend that allows survival in most of the world that isn't urban. Malcolm is the human equivalent.

[@kitwalker2968]

The old Landcruiser is an engineering marvel

Ironically, it's what killed him in the end.

[@jeepcommiehunter176]

These rock!🇺🇸🎇🎆🎊🎉great stuff

[@matthewcullen1298]

They're pretty good mate. The floating car full of empty beer cans was quintessential old school Australia. People used to take a Roady beer to drink on the way home from work whilst driving. I'm glad it's not as common thing these days. My old man spent a lot of his life digging people out of wrecked cars and when he became a senior officer in the fire service, he was on call 24/7 in a department car. If we were out I had to sit in the car at some horrendous accidents. A lot could have been avoided.

[@izzybluffin820]

No snorkel, diff lockers, turbo, lift kit,lithium batteries, fridge, inverter, solar panels..... Just balls, and a camera.

[@bennuballbags2]

Iv washed everything by my idol, and I must say this is the show, even better thanwhen he hunted in Arnhem Land for oil snakes a turtles, I n croc infested swamps!

Here's a little bit of useless information: contrary to popular belief Aussie's don't drink Foster's thats for tourists and the export market. Victoria Bitters or VB for short is their go to brew. If your ever in a pub in Australia don't order a Foster or you'll get some looks.

[@consciousbeing1188]

VB = Vomit Brew... Coopers Sparkling Ale all day, mate.

[@SWHBOYCE]

In the 80's it was Carlton Breweries .

[@jamestopham7744]

Toohies all day

[@headofmyself5663]

When a mate came over from WA to Germany. We visited Kiel Week and the Australien booth on the international market was sponsered by Fosters. He was really upset and actually insulted. "Do you germans really believe we drink that piss?" It was just hilarious!

[@SWHBOYCE]

Foster's is made by Carlton , in Victoria state , Australia ( or ,at least it was in the '90's . I never saw Foster's down there ; a bottle of Carlton ( liter ) was less than 1.00 (Aust. ) ...and I saw many a pub when I was there ....just sayin'. Foster's sucks , like most American beer does ( commercially made , that is ....and , by the way ; ya won't see much decent Aust. wine here in the states ; they keep the good stuff for themselves . (...says a notable wine producer I met in Victoria .
