Am 63 now and first watched this around 40 years ago. Brilliant programme very informstive, educational and entertaining at the same time. Thank you Les Hiddins.

It's a pity that this is the end. It's been a wonderful time for me with those three seasons of Bush Tucker Man. I went back to my childhood dreams of living in an Australian outback, which was so strange that I was born and raised in a city of 2 million people in Central Europe (Poland). I was able to visit Australia once, although for a month only. During this time me and my wife visited Victoria and Tasmania in a campervan. Someday I'd like to go back and do a 4x4 trip to Cape York (respecting nature of course) for example. It would be great. But now I live on my farm and watch the war in Ukraine, less than a thousand kilometers from the border of my country so far. Hope this nightmare would over as soon as possible.

Ran across this series on KZbin a few year ago. A great bit of knowledge recorded for future reference if needed. Also a well done bit as Lee Hiddins is a very personable guy on camera. Thank you Lee.

A true blue Aussie f**king legend Dad bought the entire series it was the last thing we watched the night he died brings back a lot of memories

[@mikecranford1927]

23:42 I couldn't take my eyes off that croc water while Les had his back turned away like that, now of course we all know if a croc was dumb enough to mess with the major it's as good as the croc signing it's own death warrant, I can see Les applying a few lightening fast Liverpool kisses (headbutts) to soften up the rude reptile before finishing the beast off with a devestating Cornish flying mare landing the rascal on the propeller blades... still pretty freaky to be that close to where those big ass Crocs lurk while turned away like that.

[@grointastic4242]

One show where you got smarter watching it. Love this show and it is one that will stand the test of time

[@user-ArtsyVW]

Awesome doco,... how important is it to continue 'burning off' of dry undergrowth, so crucial to the survival of the Aussie bush..

[@deborahmacdonald9319]

[@adelarsen9776]

I passed Les at Black Mountain on my way to Cooktown once. He was heading west and I east. Anyway, I watched him on ABC when it first came out. Today The Cape is full of rubbish, toilet paper and beer cans. It's now the true Tip.

Tip of the tipheap

[@Alanoffer]

It’s interesting to follow up the story of the aboriginal tracker galamarah on Wikipedia

[@jesspeinado480]

How is it that no one ever mentioned to Les that he put his hat on backwards.😳 Still admire the guy.😏

[@bencostanzo2062]

I was wondering about that hat. Looks like something Robin Hood would wear

[@russellhamer8690]

Wow 👌 look at "the bash" on his hat..

[@maxasaurus3008]

Good enough for me! Hurrah Jacky Jacky!!

[@avrilmiles]

Was Weymouth Bay named after the ship Weymouth? My ancestors travelled on the Weymouth to South Africa in 1820, and were 26:50 put ashore at what is now Port Elizabeth (new 26:50 (new name Gheberha).

The English exploring with ponies and massive supplies is now rather comical. Just as in the North Pole exploration, the English were totally out of their depth and had to shoot their ponies as they were useless in those climates. Tragic for the ponies. And often the English paid with their lives for their one dimensional view of exploration. Arrogance? Naivety? But at the same time, the English were constantly exploring....one has to admire the lust for exploration.

[@lukeduke3001]

What happened to the other ant hills

[@toma5153]

Yank here. Does the hat Les wears have a particular name? Don't think I've ever seen one like it before.

[@damobass2966]

Australian Army slouch hat

[@fergspan5727]

It’s actually an Akubra sombrero, he bashed or shaped it into that style himself which apparently was a common enough style up in Queensland . Akubra is an Australian hat maker manufacturing an array of quality rabbit fur felt hats since the 1800s. They also do as mentioned above make the Australian military defence force slouch hat.

Down near Mackay was flat, yet not that far north, he was misinformed, and people died. (Misinformed: a good reason not to what the TV!!!)
