Thread: Bush Tucker man, Saturday 1800 ABC2

If you do a search back throught the old probably archived posts I did one on Les and his county. its now owned by a gent who lives at Tewantin. I wont post his details here for security reasons but I have written a couple of letters to him. Hes not interested in selling it yet. Hes using it for its intended purpose to trek through Oz. He is aware of its history though so im sure it is in good hands. I have several photos of it somewhere that I took about two years ago. It still looks exactly the same. Thats what caused me to come to an emergency stop when my wife saw it parked in his driveway.

You could borrow the DVDs from the local library and then burn a copy.























Apparently.

I went up to my local library this arvo - the 2 disc dvd was checked out, someone beat me to it!! - so I borrowed his video with the first 4 episodes on it. Also borrowed a couple of his books on stories of survival back in the settlement days. Just read about the cannibal convict down in Tasmania. I remember watching that series. Anyway, I have something to read now when we head down to Jindabyne and Tumut next week for a little getaway!!

Got this off the ABC2 website for anyone interested.

Les Hiddins takes us along the east coast of Cape York. He contrasts the landing of Bligh, who used the local bush tucker to survive, with Edmund Kennedy's expedition who perished on the Cape York peninsular.

DVD's available from ABC shops on both series, great watch, better than Camel DVD's any time. Purchase on line!. Met Les again, not so long ago, up at 'Pandanus', all good.....

And don't be so fish-arsed you lot, he probably gets credits....
