VIEWER ADVICE: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this program may contain images and voices of people who have died.
In this episode, Les Hiddins is in the Gulf Country of Queensland around Doomadgee. In 1942, an American bomber crashed not far from here. Les relives the extraordinary story of the crash's survivors as he moves through the region. Those American airmen, like the majority of Australians, had no knowledge of native bush food or survival. The men starved to death surrounded by abundant food.
