this man did 3 tours of vietnam as a forward scout. he has been in the shit. he is not a man to be taken lightly . he is an aussie icon. he has a property in northern queensland used as a retreat for other vietnam vets to chill, connect, and heal. les you are a great man. as all vets are.
One of if not the greatest television ever produced in Australia about actual Australia
This show is pretty damn good. No need for excessive dramatization, just a super aussie bloke with a softly spoken voice telling you about bush tucker.
I think you're missing the point.
This show is therapeutic. Love these bush tucker adventures.
I watch every episode of this, back in the day, and god knows how many years later, I'm watching every episode again, Les is brilliant, can't wait for the next one, thank you ABC from up here in England 😎
For me, Les was a younger version of Jack Absalom, another great bushman (and painter). I can't believe I'm only discovering this show now. When this show was on I was playing too many computer games, which I now regret.
From memory, we watched this at school. Primary school. As educational videos. The teacher would tape it on VHS, then bring it to school for us to watch. It was great! Thanks ABC for uploading these. Much appreciated. Les, if u read this, you're a national treasure mate. The Bush Tucker Man series is a golden slice of Australiana.
Still some of the best television ever produced in Australia. Les is a natural teacher and never comes across as nervous or hyperbolic. I wonder why this kind of show was never funded again. We had the Crocodile Hunter but nothing that lends Les' sense of sincerity or exploration to the nature of Australia.
Yep. Watched this show religiously every week as a kid. This guy, Malcolm Douglas & The Leyland Brothers were my favorite shows, even above shows like MacGyver, Airwolf, A-Team, Knight Rider & Blue Thunder. So thankful that the ABC is putting them up for free. Netflix has ruined me though, not easy waiting a week for the next episode.
Because we didn't have Facebook back than and maybe RUclips
Not forgetting Jack Absolum.
Google took away the need for thinking reading about knowledge or watching TV about things like this.
One of lifes pleasures. I could listen to Les indefinitely and hope to
This program had a profound effect on me when I was a boy in the 80s. I think programs like this inspired me to join the army when I was older. There is something about soldiering and survival that seems to be forever attached to each other and the mind sets of those involved in both.
A thousand metres in funny talk! What a man!
Loved this program when it came out in the 80s. Still watching him today. Never get tired of him.
I watched every episode of this on TV back in the late 80s/early 90s. Then I would head out bush and pretended to be the bush tucker man lol. But seriously this show is what got me interested in bush tucker, bushwalking, survival skills, bushcraft etc.
Me and my late dad always used to chuckle when Les bites that chilli 😂
This guy is a national treasure.
I’m loving this show! The production is so classic. It’s old school and that’s its charm. Season 1 is from 1987 and I wasn’t even born until the mid-90’s, yet this show still resonates so hard with me! Thank you ABC for releasing it again
Loving this! Can’t wait for episode 6
these programs should be in every state primary school in Australia onya les you're a national treasure and terrific !
Much like Attenborough, the timeless narration & presentation of knowledge I never get tired of watching & listening chilling out to.
"I'll reckon they'll keep you regular"🤣👊
I could watch Les for hours. Brilliant show…
Awesome programme, grew up watching this in the Uk in the afternoon after school on the BBC. Takes me right back to simpler times 😃
Mr Bush Tucker Man are the very best TV programs ever made, they are just as brilliant today as they were when they were shown on TV, someday when my working life of 16 hour working days x 7 x 651 days per year is over I am going to go out and buy me a new 50 inc TV, sit down and watch all of those paragraphs and learn me a very good education from the Mother Earth best friend, Th Bush Tucker Man, God bless him for all the very great work that he did
Respect for country, respect for First Nations peoples - Les you were ahead of your time. Hopefully we are catching up. Thanks!
That's about 1000m in funny talk.... Love it.
Best show ever in my mind
A wealth of wisdom. I wouldn't go bush without having Les's advice in the back of my mind.
I was working at Poolamacca stn in NSW in the end of the 90s and watched , when I could, the episodes of bush tucker man and it was a great help to me. Being a foreigner to your wonderful country I always felt that I was born in the wrong country.
This show is great. It makes me proud to live in this amazing country
Good to see this online. Remember it from when I was a kid
I was expecting him to handle that little chilli. 😂
I remember this as a 15 yr old.. really made an impression on me.
Very interesting he always has good storys about bush tucker
I'm so glad you uploaded all these shows in decent quality, I've watched so many times the other ones that were posted years ago in like 360p.
The Bush Tucker Man reminds me of my late friend, Les was his hero.
RIP Geoff.
Love how he is always taking a truck full of local adults and kids out for Tucker hunts.
"KERNAL CANDLES" will be the next Green must have I reckon..
Can watch btm all day every day.
Les was a real "no country for old men" type of guy.
he did 3 tours of vietnam as a forward scout.
🇦🇺😎🤙🛻🌳🏜️🌅🏞️🌄 absolutely fantastic to see ! thanks again ABC !
Can't wait for each episode
Great show. Watched the series when it first came out
thank you abc for uploading this classic show
Great to rediscover this great series, it's funny as was just talking about the. programme to a friend the other day. I was reminiscing about when my father lived on the Goulburn Islands and how he was taught a few things by the locals
Thank you
I wish Akubra still made the Sombrero in that color. Looks like the felt quality was better back then too
1000 meters in funny talk huh?! Im a bit offended LOL
‘In funny talk’
Best Rock album ever. Keep playing them rocks. Just joking. Love the show, cheers from Melbourne. Have you every done Victoria?, not the girl, the State?
This is a great program, stumbled on this; good on ya!
Les must be an old man now. Good series
He’s 77 years old .
Brilliant
Best ending ever
Awesome!
Man how things have changed he called the metric measurement funny talk!
Les is 76 now , I’d love to meet him
Ginger is also quite good at settling a sour stomach
I love how he refers to metres as 'funny talk' as opposed to feet. Nowadays at least here in Oz you would say Imperial is called the 'funny talk'.
Stinging tree scene stressed me out not wearing protection getting way too close
That stinging plant is called the Gympie-Gympie and the pain can last for months. Even after the pain has gone sudden temperature changes to the skin where you were stung, like hot or cold water, can bring the pain back again. Its sting is so painful that there are stories of people who've fallen into or heavily brushed up against one of these plants killing themselves to escape the pain & the toxin is so stable & unreactive that a dead leaf sample decades or even a century old can still deliver just as painful a sting as a living plant. Never, ever pick a strange leaf to use as toilet paper if you ever find yourself having to pinch one off in the Queensland bush.
I grew up in similar rainforest with these stinging trees. I was stung many times. Of course I avoided as best as I could but it wasn't the end of the world either, if it did happen. As a kid running around I learned to tough it out if I copped these or jumper ants. It depends how badly you get stung but stepping on an old leaf with bear feet I found the worst of it was over in half a day, and after a week it was just a tingling sensation
❤
I wish ABC could put up all Ian Parmenter CONSUMING PASSIONS episodes.
way cool ... thats all
Did anyone notice he never uses a GPS but carries a prismatic compass as the army did and duz.
Can't get enuf of the Major
Les i would like to get a copy of george greys book on the Kimberly's
George Clooney Julia Roberts
ooo first
Tin miner's lives was not as hard as the first real Australians hurded like animals into dry godless places much like the first Americans. Back rent for the first Australians.
