He rebuild the gearbox in the middle of the bush, shot crocs to sell the skins to get money and the ingenious method of making a winch out of bush materials to retrieve the bogged Buick from a creek was amazing.

It was, but nothing new mate, this forum always seems to go off topics, some how we got into employment etc.

Certainly off on a tangent but I always enjoy these insights into the past. Does anyone know where I could get or watch a copy of Northern Safari?
