- Jack Absalom's glossary of expert advice for travel and survival in outback Australia or for that matter for survival in any remote desert climate.
Survival he says is a matter of common sense and preparedness. In this film Jack demonstrates the techniques for safe travel that he has developed in his many years in the outback.
This program recreates a simple vehicle breakdown and highlights the potential for tragedy.
Recently I just purchased a 70 acre property in the NSW outback mining town of Nymagee. On the property was a run down miners hut, which I restored and renovated, made of timber walls and corrugated iron roof. The first thing I placed on the wall was one of jacks paintings. Fixed the chimney with a Dutch oven and replaced the floorboards from hardwood Chep pallet planks. And every time I go out to the hut I watch of an evening the jack absalom DVD box set.
In my early 20's , in the late 80's , I spent 2 1/2 years on a working holiday around Australia. I bought Jack's Safe Outback Travel book and all his videos before my trip. His advice was invaluable for both my preparation for the trip and also for keeping me out of trouble whilst I was travelling. Thank you Mr Absalom and rest in peace.
Vale Jack Absalome, 1927 - 2019. Thank you Viewlorium for archiving many of his adventure videos.

Great talker and great bloke back in the days when TV was worth watching cheers 🍻
If only cars were so simple to work on these days. 15 years ago I remembered your actual advice from this film when our car was broken down on a. remote dirt road in the Flinders with a leaking fuel tank (and fuel leaking onto the hot exhaust pipe to make things worse!). Did exactly what you said. Found some shade, put on some tea on and relaxed. 4 hours later someone came along and helped us out. Thanks and Rest in Peace Jack!

keeping looking at the photo i have with Jack from just a couple years ago... I'm shocked he's gone, he was in such incredible health, he even insisted to walk my grandmother (89 at the time) to the car... it's just the gentleman he was.
Fantastic video Jack, I'm a Pom who has always wanted to spend a week in the Aussie outback. Maybe one day I will. Here's to you mate !
one of the best outback prep videos ever!
