Malcolm Douglas - Australia - The Wild North West (1985)

A boat journey from Wyndham to Derby in the wet season showing the spectacular waterfalls of this rugged and virtually unknown coast. The barramundi fishing, crocodiles, coastal whirlpools and giant tides make this a magnificent wilderness.

I can’t put my finger on it but these ‘80’s ~ early-‘90’s productions were so much ‘friendlier’ than post-‘00’s documentaries and infinitely more so than today’s . . .

[@LiamGallagher-x9h]

Everything was lovely man. Everything was lovely.

[@yommmrr]

Because its just Malcolm and a camera. No production company and fake presenter. Early Steve Irwin stuff was really good but his later docos were forced and not genuine. Also australia was a wilder place back then.

[@iain1969]

I remember how excited my brother and I used to get when a Malcolm Douglas doco was on "The World Around Us" on a Saturday evening.

I’ve got the utmost respect for this guy. I would have counted it a privilege to know and trek with him! Thank you, Malcolm!

Still love watching him after all these years.and the music makes me feel like a kid again

[@monkeyseemonkeydo432]

The flute music and the scenery reminds me of Star Trek when they land on a strange planet It always makes me nervous when Malcolm’s boat ends up in a precarious spot lol

12:40 better off keeping the SS prop as a backup because as I learned the hard way once & with the same 90HP OMC motor you'll take out your lower unit if you hit something very hard with the SS prop, aluminum ones bend & save the lower unit.

[@sevysnape]

Loved watching Malcolm as a young bloke. It's hard to believe that his LandCruiser crushed and killed him, such a sad story. While believe his wishes for it all to become a National Park at that time were genuine but I'm not sure if he realises that would mean no casting nets for mullet or collecting oysters for tucker in this day and age so he would just starve while enjoying the scenery.

Is is possible that Mr Douglas was the first to photograph Talbot Bay "Horizontal Falls" on CINE CAMERA????

​@@gtbtp2036it's true mate, I was watching James as he watched Malcolm eat the roo-poo, this was in the Walaababangadoo at dusk many moons ago, ole Malc was a top bloke no doubt about it and he was known by the natives as Jabba babba barunga, roughly translates to syrupy shit beard, Malc had caught a roo placed some bread down and in the firelight we could see him give the rippuh a kick to the pouch making the biscuits so to speak, topped off with plenty of golden syrup it was his favorite bush tuckuh ill never forget all the times malc had a beard full of it

Good ai…. Has anyone seen Ava 🦘? She’s a fresh marsupial girl. She likes to pop things inside her cozy pouch. If there’s one thing she enjoys most- it’s a fine bit of bush tucker. She bounces around the billabong hoping to score some witchity grubs that she will bring home to her Joey. He enjoys those fine tuckers as they are palatable, nutritious and easily digestible. Right. Upward & Onward folks. Sí se puedes. 😊😊😊
