- With a group of Kukadja men, Malcolm travels into the remote Great Sandy Desert of Western Australia. The desert tribesmen teach him their skills of survival, hunting and collecting. The amazing wildlife in the film includes rare footage of the tiny marsupial mole.
I love this old footage of my Old People. And I've got a message to Malcolm Rest in Peace... WE ARE STILL HERE. WE HAVE SURVIVED. NOT GIVING IN . Genevieve Forrest Wongatha Western Desert. If you guys are reading this, it means you took the time to get a glimpse of our ways. Love to all you global family.
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 ❤️❤️❤️
I grew up watching Malcolm Douglas and his films.
Personally I still find them more interesting and informative than any documentaries to date.
Certainly one of a kind!

@@genevieveforrest9594you are relics of the stone Age but that is not a bad thing
Hey Gen in your opinion was it a good thing for the whites to encourage them to all move to big communities and leave the traditional ways forever or should they have just let them be?
Cheers
That flute sound spoils the hell out of this program
Bloody Nora.. I'm Aussie at 53 never seen anything as educational .Truly amazing stuff. Thankyou First nation people.
For what? 40000 years of mediocrity. Let me tell you fool everywhere in the world your supposed aborigines are looked at as the worst human beings to end up being .

@@wdsftygt Get over yourself buddy one day you’ll reach an age where you’rll realise the real definition of mediocrity.
Cant take shit with you when you’re laying on your death bed buddy. Family, environment etc might mean more than your definition of world leading achievements (which many folks like you are delusionally thinking they lead the world in).
You’ll also get left behind by technology whether you like it or not when you’re an old bugger. May as well appreciate rather than just outright slander.
Aboriginal means first nation people. Best stick to Aboriginal
@@johnlighton7025 you went back and edited that? 🤔😂
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.
Nothing compares to Malcolm Douglas’ documentaries on the First Nations people. Thank you Malcolm for this gift to humanity. RIP mate
First Nations is an Americanised term. They're Aboriginal.
@@Rawkus105 Care to provide some proof of this, Karen? 🙄
He was right. Those hunting skills died with that generation of men.
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
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 !
The craftsmanship, creativity and how calm they are is truly amazing
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.
God be with Malcolm I in joyed every one off his movies from young age 👍
Ive been watching these videos for a few days now over about 4 weeks even watching some that i have already seen again... Its my first time in the comment section and i see a RIP comment... It nearly ripped my gal dam heart out 😢 Haere haere atu ra hoki atu ki o tipuna e te Rangatira
Why do I get goose bumps and tears off joy watching these docos
This should be shown at every school bloody legend 🙏with legends of the country
It should be shown in schools but unfortunately some political groups don't really want us knowing what Aboriginal people used to look like
Malcolm was a true spokesman a brother, a friend and always considered family to us FIRST NATIONS people in this country RIP my brother ❤️😭👍 he learnt everything from us, from coast to the desert. Deepest respect 🙏
I've been saying that these (first) people, are magic.
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 saw this when it first came out and I was in school. I wonder if ANY of the people on this video are still alive? I am 55 now. dang!
Probably all dead now.
Well the boy is an old man himself now i guess😊
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
Very different up north. Drunks and drug addicted people are not welcome here.
Fantastic episode. Thanks for uploading. I have been binging on Aboriginal history and this episode is so educational
40000 years destroyed in just 200. Hopefully these young kids still learnt some skills to pass on again
Development isn't fixed, 40,000 years ago white men lived like this.
@snowflakemelter1172 your indoctrinated version of development isn't for everyone dumb dumb...
How fit and healthy they all look, 💪🏿
Adventurer, naturalist, humanist, educator. Thanks for all the years, Malcolm.
Another excellent Australian documentary by the legendary Malcolm Douglas. RIP.
Malcolm waiting to get a tan. Top bloke who went where we didn't.
I cant stop watching Malcolm...RIP brother your a legend!
I agree.
Watching 60K years of hunting and gathering refined to a sharp edge. Love it.
I’m American and just found these and I’m addicted and his respect for the aborigines is what makes me admire his series even more.
Also check out bush tucker man
Wonderful and very informative. Much respect for the first nation People 🙏🏽
Malcolm is a good commentator.. never get tired of listening.
He talks in his later films , but most early ones a narrated
What have we done These people are prob the purest people on this planet and so bloody interesting Well done
You: no objective thinking allowed.
A classic fantasy from someone from the developed world, " the innocent native".
Great music.
Love these. Absolute legend respect and love to the first nations Straight up very grateful to live here in Australia and love the culture.
what a great view back into very old ways of living
I absolutely LOVED this film, and Fresh Water Crabs !!! I never knew they existed !! I don’t know about the sound of the flute however, but Loved the sounds of the bush and inclusion of conversation and their amazingly beautiful songs ! Awesome film !!!
"Unterwegs mit Malcolm Douglas" it was on sunday morning early 90's in germany, totally fascinated me as a kid, loved it.
Same here. 😊 lovely to watch it again. So sad they dont broadcast it anymore.
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
New favorite series. This is gold.
Amazing. I'm amazed at just figuring out yams are 2 metres underground!
Ah Yes , I think I'll start with the Goanna Tartare, then the kitty Cat A la fricassee, and for desert the Meallybug surprise.. could i see the wine list please ?
Nectar from the acacia plants, (honey acacia) just suck the flower on the stem.
Sensacional! Parece que voltamos no tempo.🇧🇷
EXCELLENT bravo, to you my dear friend respect to you.
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.
All Australians should be proud of our Indigenous peoples and their strong connection to the land. We need to ensure their precious cultural knowledge is passed down and protected.
Thanks for uploading these!!
Proud to me Aboriginal 🖤💛❤️
now go get a job.

Love these old movies... So entertaining, just dont think I'd like an invite to lunch/dinner
Who knew this’d be so entertaining
Interesting...would need good teeth to survive in the desert.
Makes me wanna try eating a witchetty grub! ❤
A fascinating insight, superb
BRAVO !
It's great seeing the white man getting along with the natives
its normal in the small bush towns , one of the reasons i wouldn't live anywhere else , i relocated from a 28 person town , 5 family's 3 koori 2 white , to where i am now , 800 folks , 1200 come harvest time , but they move with the harvest , i'm white , my wife was Koori , sadly passed now , we'd take the kids along the river on bush tucker trips and fish and hunt , its a nice life , with nice folks
@@dimboolabladeworks7927 ok I wouldn't know I live in Auckland NZ but have an affinity for that kind of lifestyle.
@@nikobellic3856 buy a small place here 100k NZ , everyones looking for labor or fencing in the bush , , and your time off is your own .. just stay outta the leftist states ;)
@@dimboolabladeworks7927 not a bad idea lol I'll put that on the backburner
@@dimboolabladeworks7927 Working in the outback, whats the sort of people needed, grew in the island life.
This is wonderful 👏👏👏👍 Educational and inspiring with a wish for the people of Country to learn from and maybe find a way back to. 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.💕💗👏
This is astounding, really high quality, thank you.
docs do not come better than this, thank you
priceless videos
Legendary Bushmen

Nice Toyota Land cruiser FJ-40 , maybe a diesel one engine
I don’t think that I will ever be capable to eat one of those worms. They will never ever be on my menu
Stunning
We're still here.
THE CAT IS ROASTED FOR THE EVENING MEAL
cat! i'm out
No other animal has caused so many of our native animals to become extinct. They should be banned in Australia.
Pilbara before it turned into the land of PPE
This is in Kimberley's
This was really good 👍🏻
Don't camp near the boar could stop livestock and wild from life coming in. I did not know that, thanks.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
the witchiti grub makes an appearance in almost all video in the series. It's Australia main food.
Amazing. Hope the young kids now men are passing the knowledge onto there kids.
Great documentary about the first nations people.Love the music too
I really miss the simple life like this before taxes, jobs and internet!!
Excellent. Many thanks for sharing.
nice
Burning forest cause desert
How dose the mole breathe
I don't. Suppose. There would. Much. Edible. Game about once these men have hunted over it they what to get. That's for sure. !!!
incredible wow
Great episode 👍
no lions, hyenas, bears, giant rock pythons, only flies
Exceptional stuff, never been done before in such detail and honesty, and sadly never again.
Amazing history, archive and people
I wonder if there are any aborigines doing this today
Tough work to be a vegetarian explorer out there!
The Cat had me in stitches 🤣😂😘🏴
❤ Quicksilver Australia 👍
Still think Jabamanga is the legend!
Mad. Love the Aussie truffle.

Absolutely Fascinating Creatures These Desert Spadefoot Toads Are You Wouldn't Think They Would Survive In The Harsh Desert Environment🤔🐸🐸🏜🇦🇺
THEY need to lose those black bars.Would like to see the whole picture.
Your gonna need a 4:3 monitor for that one lil guy.
lol this was standard aspect ratio back in the day
@@Sneakyboson I am 67 years old it was a scam to buy flat screen tvs when they first came out.Nobody liked it.Sorry that's the truth.
@@thomaswilson3307 its was filmed in 4:3 you can stretch it to fit a different monitor but it will distort the image. your out of luck.
Why is it also important to have animals in nature? Do you believe a person should always have the right to go back to nature if they wants to? Do you believe the government should have a program. Called give back to nature. And supply fish & other animals to give back to nature?
I can't stop thinking about Uncle Roger peddling MSG in place of salt. Imagine the flavour
