Malcolm Douglas - Australia - One Wet Season (1984)
The annual monsoon season in the north floods the country. Malcolm spends three months filming the wet, travelling by 4WD and boat. A classic adventure taking the viewer from the barramundi fishermen of the Roper River to the Aboriginal out-stations of Arnhem Land.

The Toyota Landcruiser. The legend that allows survival in most of the world that isn't urban. Malcolm is the human equivalent.

The old Landcruiser is an engineering marvel
Grew up watching him as a kid in Australia, still so watchable, a real adventurer and an Aussie icon.

Time flies and changes things so quick, deadly
I remember these shows back in the day, everybody watched them and loved it. That bark canoe is a beauty, that shape they got is perfect. Interesting to note that only 2 of these fellas grew up with the knowledge of how to make one, the other 2 are fascinated in the building method
Saturday nights me and my dad would watch this.

They're pretty good mate. The floating car full of empty beer cans was quintessential old school Australia. People used to take a Roady beer to drink on the way home from work whilst driving. I'm glad it's not as common thing these days. My old man spent a lot of his life digging people out of wrecked cars and when he became a senior officer in the fire service, he was on call 24/7 in a department car. If we were out I had to sit in the car at some horrendous accidents. A lot could have been avoided.
No snorkel, diff lockers, turbo, lift kit,lithium batteries, fridge, inverter, solar panels..... Just balls, and a camera.
great episode, learning how to build a consistant roof and a canoe from natural bark ressources

These Malcolm Douglas videos are so good I'm going to subscribe to your Channel
Amazing capture. Thank you for this.
AWESOME DOC...
Malcoim is of course iconic, but you have to give some cred to the camera team!
Amazing adventure. I don't think no one these days will tackle deep water crossings like that without a snorkel on their 4WDs.
Living in accordance with nature, that's liven!
i love that winch. an old manuel brake 8000lbs warn . it is probably the best ever made in my opinion
This beauty is begging for a 4K re-scan of the film if it's still knocking around.
Incredible
Iv washed everything by my idol, and I must say this is the show, even better thanwhen he hunted in Arnhem Land for oil snakes a turtles, I n croc infested swamps!
My Mum & Dad meet Malcolm in Sydney harbor near step to Sydney Opera house back in the day
They need to run stuff like this on tv today
Travelling Through The Top End Of The Northern Territory During The Wet Season Certainly Sorts Out Yhe Men From The Boys You Could Say!🤠🚘🪓⛏🏞🐊🐍🌧🧔🙍🇦🇺

Here's a little bit of useless information: contrary to popular belief Aussie's don't drink Foster's thats for tourists and the export market. Victoria Bitters or VB for short is their go to brew. If your ever in a pub in Australia don't order a Foster or you'll get some looks.

When a mate came over from WA to Germany. We visited Kiel Week and the Australien booth on the international market was sponsered by Fosters. He was really upset and actually insulted. "Do you germans really believe we drink that piss?" It was just hilarious!

Foster's is made by Carlton , in Victoria state , Australia ( or ,at least it was in the '90's . I never saw Foster's down there ; a bottle of Carlton ( liter ) was less than 1.00 (Aust. ) ...and I saw many a pub when I was there ....just sayin'. Foster's sucks , like most American beer does ( commercially made , that is ....and , by the way ; ya won't see much decent Aust. wine here in the states ; they keep the good stuff for themselves . (...says a notable wine producer I met in Victoria .
misjudges or the film directors say it's okay...
no snorkel on that four wheel drive. it would've helped.
