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.
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.
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!
As my late father always said why travel over seas Australia is amazing country too explore well Malcolm has shown us around this beautiful and dangerous adventures for many decades rip Malcolm and jowdy who is identical to my KELPIE dusty named after SLIM cheers stevo 🦘🦘🐨🐨🦎🦎
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 UA-cam if you search for it).
Weren't they great times. I'd love to be back in 1980 with my family and friends. I'd want my missus stepdaughter and best mate with me though. And of course my cat and rottie
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.
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 ?
We worked in the Kakadu near the South Alligator River in 1982. We built a tourist resort. We would put out crab pots before work and bring back the mudcrabs for lunch cooked on a fire. Never saw a croc but the river was full of bull sharks.

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
I heard you can fertilize with catfish. Put one in the hole whenever growing tobacco , cotton. Can also be minced up and slurried into vegtable patches early in growing season. Just one alternative to eating them.
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.
Due to over harvesting of mud crabs.. the population is getting smaller in size.. hmmm.. because male crabs that mented to breed are taken away.. hmmm.. so does barramundi population of the north.. hmmm.. fisheries re-evaluation of fishing practices must be reviewed. Yup

i thought to myself, look how healthy he looks, the fish and natural foods, he must be a 100 years old , actually 83 had he not died in 2010 due to being crushed by his vehicle, but he had prostate cancer, go figure. so much for a healthy diet.

Does anyone know what model evinrude outboard he’s running? Or at least if it’s a two or four stroke ? They don’t make them anymore, nor do they make them like Malcolm anymore…
What no high tech specialised boat trailer, $140k vehicle, $400k boat and to top it off internet and stickers announcing our travels to everyone else how adventurous we are? How did they do it?
Most Australians Would Not Have Heard Of The Wessel Islands Before Malcolm Douglas Went There! Would Have Been A Sensational Trip On The Boat From Darwin Feasting On Barramundi And Mudcrabs For Instance Also The Marvellous Sights Of The Arnhem Land Coast And Islands!🤠🧔🛥️🎣🐟🦀🐚🌅🏝️🇦🇺

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.
@Tony F you'd rather listen to some twat reading a script than the actual subject of the film? I don't think that's got anything to do with being old I think that's just strange.

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.
I was searching those videos for ages !
Thanks for uploading !
I missed watching old school documentres like this id used to watch them all the time when growing up
I can watch these all day.. and have been
I have been on a grind since I found them.
I am 60 and grew up with these documentaries.
I have been watching the lot. Very relaxing.
I love seeing our country in this light. His way of life was inspiring
Wow haven’t seen this since I was a kid! That good old Aussie accent that’s still has a lick of British ❤️

Malcolm Douglas up at the top with Steve Irwin for Aussie legends!

Les Hiddins is my man for this sort of thing.
Malcolm is the OG
Malcolm was Steve Irwin’s dad. The original croc hunter turned conservationist after the laws changed for hunting crocs
Malcolm the Steve a million miles behind.
I live 30 miles from Arnhem. No idea Arnhemland is across the entire globe. Makes me wonder who was living there, say, 15,000 years ago. Thanks, mate.

Its because he was catching 82 fish per hour.
82nd is a division of the US military. FYI.
I launched mine from Roper River.... blue mud bay alway was a challenge to get to anam_land.. 😊..
Malcom’s voice sounds so different in these earlier videos. He sounds posh in these and in the later ones more of an Ocker!
They always had narraters back then in old docos not sure why, maybe the people at the TV stations thought they sounded a bit rough
What do you think coming down the mountain after Appin Road, pretty steep hey
