It's interesting how these things happen. In the United States, most of the major freeways follow the same routes that the natives and mountain men took a couple of hundred years ago. There's a great documentary by Ken Burns called Horatio's Drive that shows his route in the earliest days of the automobile on a cross country trip, long before the freeways. As a truck driver it was especially fascinating to me as I've regularly taken the same routes that he traveled. I really would recommend that documentary as an excellent way to understand early travel.
Long time since I last saw this, but it has not lost any charm. I've worked in and around the Simpson for 8 years as a field officer, lots of long drives every day, I loved it besides being a touch warm. My best was 2 days in row near Innamincka 2014 I think, 48.6 C and all my work was at ground level and all in the sun 10hrs each. Anyway I love the bush as Ive also travelled many of the back tracks across the top, I believe its the scenery and timelessness watching far off willy willy's disappear hundreds of metres into the blue, the wind whispering in the low shrubs and trees. Then there are the stars horizon to horizon, dingoes howling and cold very cold.......Love you work.
Another magnificent effort from the true legend of the Ozzy bush……..absolutely tremendous!
he's even known over here in Germany and The Netherlands, true Aussie
Love this show, it's one of my all-time favorites. Greetings from germany
Les Hiddens - Champion and Legend
Live a few miles from where he was born dysart fife 🏴 binge watching the bush tucker man great to see it again after all these years cheers ABC 👌
Fantastic as always, what a treasure!
fantastic episode! thanks ABC ! 🎬🏜️🌄🛻📹🤙😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
1800’s, amazing times of exploration.
Legend....🤠🇭🇲👍
One of Australia's greatest explorers and a leader who never lost a man on an expedition was John Forrest - not that we ever hear his name spoken by 'tothersiders'...
mentioned him yesterday on quora.
funny how they never mention the genocides which took place
Fantastic series thx
Love the bush tuker man
Stuart was lion-hearted, but in my opinion Peter Egerton Warburton's journey west in 1873/4 at the age of SIXTY is the greatest journey undertaken by a European in Australia.
Regarding the Ghan, most people believe the name is describing the Afghans who drove camels trains in Australia. I believe that the Afghans were actually Pakistani. My mother was the Railway Station Mistress at Mt Garnet in North Queensland around the mid 1930s. She had contact with the Pakistani camel drivers when they brought in sandalwood from the Gulf Country to send the wood by rail to the coast, from there it was exported to Pakistan and India for incense. She was befriended by these people who who insisted that the Ghans were from Pakistan, a British colony. A much more likely source of camels and people given that Australia was connected to Britain too. Afghanistan not so much.
everyone knows that we were taught that at school.
I bloody hope those telegraph blokes got paid well.
Great show
Les the champion
Always superb
So wait, what's the misodic sign?
The compass and protractor yeah?
It's definition makes sense as to how it fits the scenario, my only question again is HOW did they know what it was, how did they show it to him??! Through dance or did they stack their bodies or hands in a way, I'll keep doing research i guess...
No that's the actual symbol of the Freemasons. But they are famous for having secret hand signs. So for example if one lands in court, he can make a hand sign to the judge who is most likely a mason too, and get off scott-free.
Masonic. As in from the masons.
Stuart is from my home town in Scotland. The recognition he gets here in Scotland is pitiful.
Yes, he is hardly known in Scotland.
My Nanna came to Australia from Scotland on one of the last wool clippers when Australia was the last one's still using the wind jammers and the grain races 😊
amazing program as always. rip les
Don’t believe he’s left us.
Thats right he is still alive and doing well over and out
More more more 😀
😉👍😎The best awesome education
A more sophisticated Leyland Bro.s which many of us grew up on. By the way why was the melody from, 'Lady in Red' keep playing throughout?
It wasnt, not sure how you got that. The music was written for this show specifically
Les puts the myths about snakes to rest with shorts on everywhere he goes
Might Ludwig Leichhardt (1840s) have been the mystery white man the NT Aboriginals encountered?
Australias best city, Adelaide.
Yep! Adelaide is the best country town in Australia.
Wrong! Perth is. 😁
Coonabarabran! Cootamundra! Jimmy Gully!
Perth , followed by Cairns.
Freedom...you've obviously never been to Adelaide. Melbourne is tops.
Sir Les Hiddins ..National Treasure 🤑 why hasn't he been knighted,yet..
He was at least awarded the order of australia and Queens honours.
Not too bad.
He’s not a mason, blokes
well said@@pollyvocal7622
What makes you think that ? In my opinion and research the hierarchy are usually masonic or satanic Luciferians.
when the ABC made content for australians.
❤
He's Australian, not European.
Maybe the story of the Dutch settlement is true and the black fellas who gave Masonic signs to Stuart, received that info from those Dutch settlers
It may be possible the Aboriginals were told about Muskets from other Aboriginals who had met Europeans and told the story to them and that was passed on to others possibly telling them about a stick that went bang, so, when they encountered people woth sticks that banged they thought they were muskets.
Loved the story about the aboriginals putting the poles up to, coping the white fellas.. I wonder why they decided to do that? Did they think it would do something for the spirits?
Did they do it to show it was their land? So curious as to why they did…
i heard he call katherine ,,,,after the mayors daughter,,he fancied her.. but he wasnt a good speller her name started with a C.. also alice springs was stuart springs,,,,it was the radio guy who changed it 2 his wife's name alice which he had no right 2 do,,,he dident do any bush bashing
and the white ants ate the poles out.
Great video but posted only 4 days ago, really ? More like 8 😂😂😂
We post a new episode every Wednesday evening.
@@abcaustralia 😂😂😂
@@abcaustralia Cheers ABC, still one of the best Aussie TV shows out there.
Wouldn't it be more likely that information about the white man travelled, along with wheat, customs and words, via Aboriginal word of mouth instead of white men themselves? It would explain why they used an incorrect version of Musket.
