  • Malcolm and his mates journey by boat to a remote island off the Kimberley coast looking for Australia's smallest rock wallaby, the Warabi or Munjon. This is the first film of the shy little marsupial.

    Just started watching this episode. How cool is it, he sees no one has ever filmed this Wallaby so he goes I'll fix that. Legend.

      Well said. Back then every object was meaningful. Now everything is the product of greed, deception, advertisement, bs politics, bs self interest from the parasites siphoning the wealth of productive people, lying highly manipulative medias in a monopoly network, reverse accusation, imposed silence on important topics (denouncing them). The whole thing is a pile of rubbish that should sublimate into flames.

    Great to hear about your feelings on travel and all that you do to get us some entertainment and education but also the enthusiasm you give us in between our trips. We understand about exhaustion. You guys are legends and as the previous people said it wouldn’t kill us to miss out on an episode if it means you get a rest so next time you get a spot you love take a rest . Well done done you funny people 😅

      In general i've noticed Malcolm is very compassionate for animals. You'll notice it even when he reluctantly eats games with the aborigenes, and convinced them more than once to release small cute critters.

      totally agree with the attenborough remark mate! though, ive watched most of his vids on youtube because i used to watch them as a little fella. love malcom. but ive never clicked the like button. and never will. its not something i am impulsed to do when i enjoy a video. i dont feel the need to justify to everyone that i liked it. especially because liking something is just that. its the amount of views that tell a story if statistics is what floats ya boat.

      That's a good comment reflecting on the materialism and superficiality of this age. Most people don't know the humanity and value in these videos and those who watch them end up being people with little education.

      uphill in loose sand.
