PS it's a bit cringe with the patronizing, but we understand, coz it was back when non indigenous folk were only just learning about us. It's still very informative, but there's a lot more going on that film can't portray . We aren't primitive child minded relics of the stone age. It's just a reflection of the times. Peace and love to all you guys watching ❤️❤️❤️

It’s so excellent that the elders allowed the doco to film, they understood the importance of documenting their lifestyle on film to be preserved for future generations.

Another excellent Australian documentary by the legendary Malcolm Douglas. RIP.

Not only respectful to the ingenuity of the Aboriginals, this is very informative for those of us who never had to attempt survival in such circumstances. Also, I'm glad to read elsewhere that Mr. Douglas went from a killer of crocodiles to a preserver of their existence. Many thanks for sharing.

They lived in that harsh environment for 50 THOUSAND years. I grew up in the city of Melbourne (pop'n 3M then) - I wouldn't last a day in that environment. This doc is great and doesn't have the patronizing tone of many made in that era. D.A., J.D., NYC

Adventurer, naturalist, humanist, educator. Thanks for all the years, Malcolm.

The craftsmanship, creativity and how calm they are is truly amazing

I can’t get ova the frogs they found digging them out of the sand in the middle of a dessert their hunting skills were amazing ❤ I am Moari I have lived in New Zealand and was brought up as a hunter and food gatherer for my family and my people we have no we’re near the amount of wildlife you have in Australia we have no poison animals or lizards the closest thing we have to a snake is an eel the only true lizard we have is a small tuatara and if you get caught killing those you get the bash ( very bad for your health ) what we are watching are now will probably never be seen again and as a hunter my self it deeply saddens my heart ❤😢 thank you Mr Douglas may you R.I.P knowing that your dedication to your amazing documentaries are still watched today all over the world good one mate !

He was right. Those hunting skills died with that generation of men.

I watch this and the Bush Tucker Man a lot and hope the people of communities in these areas can get back to this even if for a few days a week or more. It would be wonderful and I know I would love to do Bush Tucker trips if they came back to the old ways and would allow us Australian’s from European backgrounds to come and learn because this is truly inspiring to see how happy the people are doing this in their country.👏👏 I hope they can find a way to live between the two cultures soon. I fill they need this in their lives so much.💕💗👏

Amazing history, archive and people

Great documentary about the first nations people.Love the music too

Did you go back Something good about when they were leaving the locals were planning another trip Whether it happened or not The tribe seem to come together in a pure way Fantastic I hope you made it back mate and i hope the men did go bush again

Absolutely fabulous. What an incredible people they were; not the welfare dependent society they have become. I’ve been privileged to experience some of the original lifestyle of these amazing people. At present Australia is having a referendum regarding whether to give our indigenous people a voice. Unfortunately this is not about preserving their cultural heritage or about having them heard, that’s already there. It’s about the worse atrocity ever inflicted upon them; the belief that they are lesser beings and in need of special treatment. In Australia there is too many specialised groups being given too much money to supposedly help the people but it all goes into the pockets of those who wish to exploit them. Nobody wants to hear that aboriginals chose to join with the ’white man’ years ago because it improved their lives. The machine wants everyone to believe that they were enslaved and if you don’t agree then you’re a racist. Not true, my wife and children are aboriginal and they love their life but haven’t forgotten their heritage. We all love the study of the original people. When we ‘go bush’ we do take all the modern amenities but only use them if absolutely necessary. I believe it’s important for my children to understand and respect their elders and heritage so we hunt as their forefathers did, eat anything we can and live off the land. But when they’re out without me I use modern European tools, foodstuffs and technology to be comfortable and ensure they are properly cared for to the best of my abilities. I don’t see my children as halfcasts just as my children. I relish learning about their ways though the language still baffles me often. Thankfully people like Malcom made films like this which serve to help preserve some of the culture for the future before the modern welfare system was established to destroy it.

I love their culture and way they used to survive even very harsh condition but at sametime I feel SAd when I see them drunk and using drugs nowadays

I think I see some of those nodules on some trees here in NSW, next time I will pull one off and open it and see if there is any grub or male insects inside. Maybe it's a smaller species here than shown in this western Australia area, but certainly it appears some form of species exist here in NSW. It's interesting how your average person would die there in that desert, yet those Aboriginals guys were able to easily get about a dozen different types of food rather easily.

I see your type of comment a lot especially on Malcolm Douglas videos and it honestly puzzles me that the commentor says things like "they can teach us a lot" there's so much we can learn from these people" yet y'all never actually say what is to be learned, not one thing, if you mean we can learn how to get food and water from the Australian outback then yes of course, I don't get the feeling that is what is implied in comments like yours otherwise why not say they can teach us so much about survival in their environment? I have no animosity towards aboriginal people I don't live in Australia so when I read these types of comments it makes me laugh tbh, very cool that they are knowledgeable about their environment as far as food and water but as far as teaching us so much... bullshit...this is a stone age culture that for whatever reason has not advanced on their own in 40,000 years, they should be a lesson on what not to do, no math, philosophy, science, no advancements that the world has benefitted from at all, aside from bush tucker they have nothing to teach anyone but please if I'm missing something the floor is yours to tell the world this vast learning that you speak of...
