- In this episode, Les retraces the famous journey across Australia from south to north by explorers Burke and Wills. If only the men had known about the preparation of bush tucker - particularly Nardo - things might have turned out differently for the ill-fated party.

I’m so lucky I was an Australian child of the 70’s and 80’s. This was what we were allowed to stay up night and watch on ABC
Just got to make a plan and do it. you don't need a 4WD and all the 'stuff' other shows promote to get remote. .
One of the best programs made in Australia
I have a minor hobby. I watch these types of 'journey' videos, whether it be Ones from Les, or just someone walking through a city, and I follow their journey with Google Maps as closely as possible while I watch. This is why a 30-minute video can take me over an hour to watch. I keep jumping between the video and the maps, following the path. This leads one to wonder, should I get a life? Ah, but there is a reason for my hobby.
By the end of the year, I'll be on the road in my ute/home/mobile workshop, and may well decide to follow some of these historic journeys myself.
I have a great love for this country, and even though I've seen a lot of it over the years, I want to see, and really experience, much more before I fall over.
Thanks for making these videos available online, ABC Australia. I don't watch television or Netflix etc. I don't have a TV aerial, and I don't have an interest in paying for online streaming services that still serve ads. So I generally watch iView, and a multitude of RUclips channels covering a plethora of topics.
Hey Brad - great way to enrich the experience and learn -
I am going to do this more often !
Did you go on your holiday?
This is seriously such a great archive of Ozzy history and storytelling……absolutely tremendous!
Yeah... agreed... hmmmm..
As a nation we prevail... hmmmm..
And I want more.. yup.. hmmmm..I want more..
les hiddins did 3 tours of vietnam as a forward scout. he has seen action. his respect and admiration for indigenous people and their knowledge is admirable.
He did 2 tours and only one as a forward scout
two tours, only one was as forward scout
these are literally the highlight of my week :D
YAY another half n hour with Les 🙂
Bush tucker guy is extremely knowledgeable and very interesting
Timeless
I eagerly anticipate each new episode of Bush Tucker Man. I remember watching these episodes in Year 8 Geography in the 90's but have not watched them since. Thank you for the memories.
What fascinating stories from Australia. I love your Tucker man . God bless Australia and it’s people.. from the U S A..
Tremendous!
What an amazing series
Well one Les & ABC. . . keeping the history of early Australian settlement alive.
A masterpiece series with Les.
I hope this and other feats of early european exploration are still taught in school, along with the indigenous history. Those without knowledge tend to exaggerate the differences and pain rather than celebrate much of the cooperation and acceptance. It will remain a mystery how (with so much local help and food available) these guys perished. What a beautiful historic tree. They offloaded the guns early ?.Extraordinary considering how useful they could be to an expedition...how would you know what to expect later ? Perhaps the powder was ruined ?? Surely they could have got more in Swan Hill. The half a ton of sugar they chose to keep hauling may be a clue as to the value and esteem it held around the world at the time. Wild times indeed. As always, fantastic history well told by Les.
Apart from being simply an example of television at its finest,..I’ve always been impressed by the unique, noticeablely ‘ steely ‘ , resonant ring that dreadnought acoustic guitars sound when recorded by Australians. Why is that ? No one else sounds at all like it. The audio clarity ? The effect of all that incredibly clean, pure air on the strings ? Local woods used by luthiers to craft the instruments ?….
I used to watch this in the 80s in the UK this dude was awesome an for an Aussie lol seriously the man is a giant of a man big shout from a pommie
Great history lesson! thanks ABC ! absolutely fantastic! 🌳🏞️🎬📹🛻😎🤙🇦🇺
We went through Menindee 2 weeks ago, was very wet. Couldn't stop and had to push through to Ivanhoe to get back on tar roads before more rains came. Had also planned to visit Lake Mungo NP but it was too wet to get to also.
This is so great. This was a favourite from my childhood 😎
Thank you for another upload
Birds, springing full former from the ground! Australia has some of the best animals!
What a wonderful video it’s a fantastic view of Burke and Wills fantastic video thank you
@5:42 they were all waving at Les's hat.
The Union Flag, handkerchiefs, priceless! The past is very much a distant country.
It is a shame that Burke and his party were for a long time, lambasted as fools.
They were adventurers, looking to explore and discover for themselves, what lay ahead.
Many years ago, I walked trails and tracks in Far North Queensland.
I have one track embedded in my mind because of the adventure. It was part of the original Bama Trail (aboriginal trail) between Wujal Wujal, Cape trib and the Mossman area. It was the kuku yalanji highway. There are other trails North of Wujal Wujal that follow a different path to the road that is now there.
Back to the subject. I walked the trail in 1982. It started at the very Northern end of Cape tribulation beach. In '82, there was still an old wooden, handmade sign that said 'Bloomfield'.
The start of the trail went up the side of an extremely steep hill.
The 'Bloomfield Track' (first dozed in 1984/5) met the original trail at the top of that huge hill. The original track was open in some places, yet in others, completely overgrown. It took two days to walk from Cape Trib to Wujal Wual, and every step for this 18-year old kid was a discovery of not only the land, but myself.
Australia is very similar to America. However, Louis and Clark survived!! LOL!! Love Australia!!
Such clear footage, redone very well. Thanks ABC Australia.
Excellent.
I recommend Peter Fitzsimons' book on Bourke and Wills. A great read!
Many years ago I read a description of the different ways various European countries, went about colonization of the various places they fetched up in, written by a French priest.
"The Dutch arrive and build a fort. The Spanish arrive and build a mission. The British arrive and build a tavern!"
Grew up watching Les.❤
The flies out there are no joke
The pole shift is said to occur every 25,772 years. It is known as the precession of the equinox. Such a shift would have cataclysmic effects on our technologically advanced society. There is mounting evidence of a prior advanced human civilisation. If the last pole shift was less than 30,000 years ago, as Les claims in this video, then we are extremely close to the next pole shift!
It's bizarre that they never ate any of the kangaroos, birds or fish. How sad that they didn't get the method of preparing nardu from the Aborigines. From the stores and equipment they chose, it really seems like the journey was poorly planned. ☹️
Very poorly planned. It would of been hilarious if it was'nt so serious for what was at stake. Read Peter Fitzsimmons book "Burke & Wills". It goes very in depth as to what occurred on that fateful journey. 😭
They where from a different culture... they didn't understand such thing's
The Aborigines were obviously centuries ahead of the Europeans in terms of bush survival. Yes, a great yarn Les!
The Europeans didn't really need those skills in Europe, did they ?
@7:30 I had to look up what a "demijohn is", its a glass version of a water cooler bottle
Bash, burn, bury...and bush skills.
He knows more than locals hehee
I am glad he calls it Coopers creek. not cooper creek. The original name is coopers creek. The creek that belongs to cooper.
Of all the stories we hear about, concerning Aboriginals, they are a peaceful race who will help anyone who needs it but that generally is how native peoples are, it is the Wests influence that seems to change all that.
What I'm seeing of Australia is a lot of sand and plenty of flies.
Why is it that Major Hiddins always seems to eat small berries and little seeds. We never see him chewing on a Kangaroo steak or a Crocodile steak....that has always struck me as odd. If you were walking around in the outback you'd want more than little berries to keep you alive.
Because he doesnt need to. He carried food and would have had army re supply more than likely.
He only supplimented with foraged bush food.
Its also a fair bit of work shooting and butchering an animal.
Only bloke to survive was an (Paddy) Irishman, that definitely chapped the Pommys, backsides? Some have said!
21 tons of equipment ? who weighed it all, not watching !!
A proper flag……with no stars on it 😂
The Burke and Wills expedition lacked experienced leadership in exploration and the logistics proved wanting too.
Les Hiddens. He should been with the explorers. They would survived. Or Aboriginals. That. Know the hazards. Of the bush. Well !!
Down under no longer, up and over, for Oz.
Is this dude New Zealand? He doesn't sound Aussie
Born in Brisbane.
Yeah, but they didnt....best way....befriend the indigenous people and not act like a whack euro wanting all the praise.
Dear Australian immigration department.
How many New Australians would have a clue over this history?
Utterly disgraceful.
Mate, how many people who were *born here* don't know this history? Or even who the current PM is?
SMH
@@artmallory970 I have my 6th grade teacher to thank. A pioneer himself considering this was 1970. He was determined to give us kids the true story of Austraya and the pioneers that made it. If only the pioneers respected the original inhabitants a little more.
