As a teen in the 80s with no computers, no cash, fuck all to do of a weekend other than footy & cricket, Malcom Douglas was truly inspirational in getting us off our asses to explore the coastline & start our own adventures into fishing. He brought 1st nations people, their culture & lands into our living rooms which back then really was a far off other world to a Melbournian kid. Same can be said about the Leyland brothers & others though Douglas was way cooler. A true Aussie legend. Thanks for uploading.

I remember this footage from a film night back in the day. But being in Melbourne and of little funds could not try 10% of Malcolm's journey. If I had known him, I would have driven up and been his free of cost slave boy - just for the excitement and knowledge. I would have done the same for Albi. They were pioneers in trying to show us the Aboriginal culture. Then there is Jack later on.

Long we all forget there wonder vlogs. Ha. They were before there time

The 80's were an amazing time to grow up as a kid.Playing cricket on the road,riding bmx bikes and playing Atari with mates.Malcolm Douglas the Layland Bros and Alby Mangels were all great shows to watch.

Malcolm was 39 years old in this video, I was 9y.o. Loved watching the specials on Channel 7 on Saturday night when I was growing up.

AWESOME DOC ...

I missed watching old school documentres like this id used to watch them all the time when growing up

I was searching those videos for ages ! Thanks for uploading !

Wow haven’t seen this since I was a kid! That good old Aussie accent that’s still has a lick of British ❤️

Wow. Back when men were men huh?? Never heard of these guys - I'm from NZ. Amazing. Inspirational. Living life in its pure rawness.

Malcolm Douglas really opened my eyes to Australia, the WA coast especially.

I love seeing our country in this light. His way of life was inspiring

This is a first for me, a fascinating reminder of a time when adventures really were just that and when this type of programme was a rare treat on Scottish TV when I was a lad. They must have been sick of eating bloody fish though!

Malcolm was an outback legend.😮

What a perfect story book like adventure, I would do anything to get onboard

Australia still appreciated you mate. RIP.

Thank you Malcolm for turning me on to Barramundi , thankfully I can get it frozen in the states , I love this fish and eat it weekly . They should make a statue somewhere down there for this guy , is there any cooler guy on earth ?

Ah the 70s & 80s a wonderful time growing up here in Australia watching malcolm douglas, the leyland brothers and ben cropp documentaries good times indeed. Almost the legendary bush tucker man major les hiddens. (Some episodes on KZread if you search for it).

I find this guy fascinating. I had never heard of him and ithat vexes me. Australia has to be one of the most beautiful and precious places on earth. I would love to visit such a country and learn as many bush skills as possible, live my life in honest nature, happy and content. Difficult, but hugely rewarding. Edinburgh, Scotland.

Should always be on TV

You're right mate, some of the islands on the northern part of Australia had some of the biggest aboriginal tribes, some of the men were close to 7 foot tall and solid, much much bigger than their mainland cousins, and all they ate was a seafood diet

Ah 1980 when people weren't crazy yet.

Amazing

I remember as a young fella, late 70’s or early 80’s watching a doco of some mad Aussie lads going into the gulf of Carpentaria and shooting tiger sharks from the beach, anyone remember it?

The voiceover doesnt sound like Malcolm Douglas based on his other videos. I've only recently found out who he was as we never had his adventures here in the UK. We did have Bush Tucker Man though and I loved his shows.

Malcolm headed off for most of his big adventures the year I was born in 64. A hard man by all accounts but probably just intolerant of nonsense or some such. Anyway, good life, annoying way to die but you couldn’t make it up. I imagine he got to a point, wedged against the post, where he just said “ah f@#k it, so be it”. He loved his kids. Just couldn’t say it. Dads were buggers like that back then.

It's obviously not his voice narrating. Malcolm has a different voice and a slight lisp in fact, in his early videos like in the 70's and early 80's I notice that Malcolm doesn't talk as much, but in his late 80's videos and onward he talks more and more in the scenes to the camera, which I personally find better.
