    I was not going to sit here for 52 minutes and watch this , but I could not turn it off . Truly enjoyed this & do hope there are more like it . I could really feel Philips pain when he was trying to explain his injury , the emotional trauma just under the surface .. This was & is a bloody well put together insight to Australia .. many thanks . from Quilpie ..

    I and a mate Stewart made a trip up the Oodnadatta track with a Morris Mini Moke back in 1969 to the Alice. It took us a fortnight from Melbourne but what a trip. I lost all the pickies we took but the memories are still there and this video has reunited them with me. It was a ripper of a trip and I will take it to the grave. Thanks for this memory.

    Living in Australia for over 50 years, I have never had the opportunity to visit the great Aussie outback desert. It’s on my Aussie travel bucket list that’s for sure👍
    As for Phillip, he had me tear up with his story about losing his leg in that horrible accident. Glad he is ok and still enjoying his passion for Opal mining. Also that beautiful young lady who flys the plane, she’s an absolute flying legend. From surf to baron desert is a definite sea change to say the least.
    And to the Aboriginal people, the real custodians of this vast spectacular country,, much respect ✊ to you and to the Aboriginal Elders past & present.
    May God Bless you always.

They said a lot of travelers went out into the outback and never were seen again. Although, there is some truth about what you say. Most of my Aussie associates were what they called "coasties", people who came from areas along the coasts. Irregardless, I appreciated their concern. It wasn't their concerns that kept me in Sydney, mostly beer and ladies. No regrets.

    "That everything we thought we knew about the world might turn out to be completely wrong." I am so sick and tired of the media telling us that we might be completely wrong about what they have already told us. They really think they've got us. Let's show them that they don't.

      its horrible what happened to them, i live in Australia and theres definitely still some lingering social issues to be addressed between aboriginals and the white man. Though as bad as what happened to them was, in the grand scheme of things they sort of had to be brought into the modern age, having said that it could have been handled a whole lot better than it was, which unfortunately is the case for most places where native peoples were colonised.

      @spacies Wolf Creek was a movie. There have been more scary movies than actual scary things like that happening, starting with the film ''Wake in Fright''. What i would advise any visitor to Central Australia on - and this is important. Carry plenty of drinking water ( 10 gallons or more) in your car, if you are planning to go offroad. Also, in that situation you do need two way radio (mobile phones are unreliable in remote areas, no towers for miles). Lack of water/heat exhaustion from walking too far on a hot day is actually far deadlier than any Wolf Creek boogeyman story.

    My dad (RAF) was seconded to the RAAF to Maralinga, Woomera, and also Christmas Island for the nuclear weapons testing during the 50s and 60s. All the protection from radiation they got was dark glasses and photo negatives, and told to wash their shorts and singlets after viewing the Christmas Island tests. He said the ELDO rockets mostly fell over at the launch pad. He said the Nullabor was nothing but goannas and spiders. But Adelaide was gorgeous.

It's a major contributor to our evolution. The system needs to modernize, but meat is a necessity for most cultures around the world. Apart from that, if we stop eating meat, then domesticated animals will go extinct.
