Malcolm Douglas - Australia - Over The Range (1983)

The stockmen of the bush had a hard life. Malcolm journeys on horseback with a group of these men into the rugged Kimberley Ranges, looking for wild scrub cattle, cave paintings and Aboriginal burial grounds.

2023, better than old TV. Great 👌

[@wayno2750]

I agree, it’s a welcome change from the garbage that is on television these days!

[@RobnDi]

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Malcolm Douglas. He was kind enough to open a reptile presentation we conducted for the Broome community back in the 1990s.

[@markwood8824]

My childhood was spent wishing ABC or NBN would have one of Malcolm Douglass epic adventures on in the early evening. I can't remember how many times I recorded as many as I could get my hands on, only to have them stolen and recorded over. Now they're here whenever I get the whim. That's KZbin for preserving this legends' life work. RIP Malcolm, the goat!

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

I grew up with these awesome shows..its EXCELLENT watching and i need to buy the whole collection...

[@bennuballbags2]

Back when black fellahs worked on stations....they were the best cattlemen I have been told. It's such a shame that those days are well gone. All the idiots in the city should be made to watch every Malcolm Douglas show, you learn more about indigenous culture here than anywhere else. That shot with the stick was bloody awesome, thats the skills that have to be kept if they havnt already died out. Very sad, RIP Malcolm you are a true legend

[@robertdakic6503]

This is the best episode ever

[@Jsmithyy]

I met him when he was fishing for snapper in Port Phillip Bay.

[@tylerwillbanks1803]

As a hard core mule man and mule trainer it’s comical and intriguing to watch different methods of handling them depending on the tasks asked by the animal in different places around the world.

[@Damndrrtyapes]

Thanks Advartis for these documentaries. I heard that Mr. Douglas had inspired Steve Irwin and came to see for myself.

[@franklutton7149]

I have never seen this episode before . Thankyou.

[@jaycherry3180]

Thanks for putting these up.

[@user-teabager]

I was only 3 when he did this still a legend

[@bennuballbags2]

I was six, and lived on Malcolm my whole childhood! Oh and Les, loved it. Still watching repeats again and again

[@johnsononey]

I like when Malcolm narrates these best , These guys are masters of their craft . Impressive.

[@bennuballbags2]

I love that a they show everything in this video instead of censoring

[@franklutton7149]

this is the world i want to live in....everything has a purpose.... all for the common good.

[@tonyryan43]

This was my occupation until 1962 but I always learn something new whenever watching Malcolm. In case anyone is wondering why the horses hate goannas, if startled they climb the nearest tree, which sometimes is a horse, causing bad injuries with their claws. On the other hand, goannas are great tucker. That was the first solid food for my eldest daughter. I had my back turned for a few moments and turned to find she has scoffed half the tail. Go Malcolm.

[@Cliofused-rv4gg]

Wow. Fascinating ❤💯👍👍👍

[@tonyfranks9551]

Excellent....thank you.

Now that is real adventure like it doesn't exist anymore.

That was great thanks

Malcolm has taught the humanity an intrinsic lesson... why don't we go back to the Bush?!! What are we doing in cities? And for what?

Indeed. The lesson for me is everything in the Bush is far healthier for the Human body and soul than any urban place. People suffering from depression and unproductive life should get out to a ranch or relatives in their region or farther, and spend prolonged time there celebrating the simple life. No one could walk away unsatisfied and unappreciative of life in a bush.

[@generalmelchett9934]

Life was so real in these times, everything seems so genuine and accepted. Does it still exist anywhere in the world? If so, I would move there in a heart beat... maybe...

[@Bibibosh]

This is the best content i have seen on KZbin all day. Biden , transgenders and the covid bs is really annoying. This is the most heart warming footage one person can obtain and yes, im rambling now.

[@redhammer9910]

Totally with you. I met a lot of these tribal stockmen and worked with a couple in mining. Historically these Aboriginal stockman and the white station owners and stockmen who worked with them were indeed a rare breed but pivotal in creating our heritage. Great video and the details of tribal practices and what they represent in the history of human evolution and their importance in our culture can never allowed to be written over by politically motivated bigots. Great footage.

[@Bibibosh]

This too shall pass!

Merv Norton and his Father roamed this land! Merv still has a place at 8 Bell Street Fitroy crossing. The wongina spirits live on.

Peter Lacy and Johnny James are really cool.

Johnny James has a bit of spirit!

I did Buffalo catching in the NT back in 1987 and 88 with choppers and bionic arms

[@monopolyshark]

I sure hope Peter survived his gyrocopter experiment.

[@ericastier1646]

I believe the difference in character between a horse and a mule is about that between a northern hemisphere westerner and a southern hemisphere west coast african.

[@PoshLifeforME]

I always think Malcom was at home on the coast and littoral lands rather than the deeper country.

[@bunjify]

My dad loved the video he had all the DVD

[@redhammer9910]

Seems like yesterday when the last nomads came out of the desert. We do need to protect the tribals and what is left of their culture. Not on the political bandwagon, evolution has it's place and the political rant's today are nothing more than a white man's distraction from the real black fellas needs. But the Australian Aborigines along with the Kalahari Bushman have a very special place in human history, we must do all we can to preserve it and those that still live their culture.

[@byza101]

Agreed 100%

[@AndreduPreez-g3c]

Very interesting programs...the old times was tough but better....just the music can get very irritating...sounds of the bush is much better....

Donkeys roam in plague proportions... are they not good to eat?

[@jamesogden178]

Donkeys are great to eat especially the ballsack

[@chrisblester37]

I can believe people would destroy grave sights, if possible just leave them were they are someone put them there for a reason, the abo has the same attitude as the Moari with past peoples don't want to accept them.

[@qwerty49424]

abos don't care. they only care because its apart of their history they would destroy grave sights aswell. it's just people nothing to do with race.

[@Jsmithyy]

The pilot pushes out as many donkies as he can the rest have an appointment with uncle bens factory on the murray river.
