I hope Les is aware of how treasured these episodes are... A true Aussie legend & content that is every bit as important today as it was when he filmed it..
Sitting here watching this, remembering old times, remembering watching this as a kid with all the family, nan and pop, it's almost enough to make you cry. These episodes are precious to me, one of my favourite things in the world.
Great memories of watching Les . My old Dad and I used to sit enthralled by his series. . I know he's knocking on a bit by now in his late 70s, but would love to see him do an updated version of his shows. And why hasn't he been given a gong or knighted by the Crown he worked fir for so many years. The man deserves it. God bless you sir,
The best of the outdoor guides ever. Les was such a big influence on me as a boy. David Attenborough was the other and of course your own Steve Irwin later on.
This show perfectly captured the outback Australian aesthetic. It's a time capsule showcasing our unique identity which is all but lost due to Americanisation.
For All you kids out there,it's either Factories or Fields when You grow older so Choose the Right one..Army Life will take you worldwide,Bankable Income n Pension,health n Dental,Good Colleagues n FRIENDSHIP.. plus the chance to fly helicopters if that's your thing..All paid for by HMAS...

Agree... if only there were more episodes...
Love this! I still watch the old VHS tapes from time to time. Showing my age now 😂
Les should be knighted for his work.
Aussie legend.
Sir Les Hiddins 👑👍

Greetings from the bushveld in South Africa 🇿🇦 😀
I saw on TV many years ago. It still looks good.😀
“Oh what a feeling”….. while standing over an oyster filled 40 series 😂❤
Floating down the river on the mattress = legend 😎
There's no way I'd do that in the top end, there's gotta be salties in there

I went to see if I could buy this series for my grandkids and you can but it's $60+! Might be a joint Xmas present.
Legend!!
Engrossed then the leadout music starts and I feel a bit sad, wish the episodes had been longer, like an hour at least?! ;)
22:50 lol no crocs in the jardine....
8:50 The old 40 Series Landcruiser has seen better days.
Strong hat.
One time I did that and there was a bee inside, that was pretty exciting 😀
Should be taught in all schools
Les is antique hero, but still is miles in front of who is following him
Thank God the poms didn't nuke our beautiful bush.. great show absolutely luv it..🥥🍏
They didn't nuke the bush but they nuked the desert and an island
Very good
It would be interesting to see how that bomb test site looks 32 years later.
I think it took place in the 1960s so it'd be 50+ years now. Hate that they do stuff like that.
I'd love to meet him
A question actually, what is his backpack? Any info appreciated
Migrating Thongs .. fascinating .

5:59 They use thong material as packing in containers, must have been from a container overboard...
The only thing worth watching on the abc
All that water and no fishing pole , what a shame.
What’s a bush tucker?
Can anyone answer why he wears his hat in that shape? Is it just for good grabbing or is there another reason?
Wonder wear bear grillls got the Heli idea from? Much prefer the real deal…. The OG
Has anyone asked Les what what he thinks. About. Bigfoot. And other. Monsters ? It would. Be. Interesting. For his opinion. !!!!
Mr Australia.
ubercopter?
Why don't you produce good Australian based content like this anymore ABC? Back Roads is the exception..
We know now that all the shore line rubbish comes from Indonesia....
