Jack Absalom's: The Journey To Lilliput
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
- Essentially this program is all about safe caravanning and an extraordinary journey into a fascinating part of outback Australia.
This journey takes us from Broken Hill in far western New South Wales through South Australia's wheat belt on to Port Pirie and Port Augusta, across the Eyre Peninsula towards Ceduna.
We will meet farmers, miners and fishermen. Bet you didn't know that the best bait to catch King George Whiting is a mollusc called a razor fish. Bet you also didn't know that Dutch explorers mapped this coastline in 1627 and they were going to settle there some 70 years before The First Fleet ever left England.
The novelist Jonathon Swift, who wrote Gulliver's Travels, used these early explorers' maps to create the setting for his story. Hence the area being known as "Lilliput", after the tiny Lilliputians who captured Gulliver.
Jack reminds me of some of the teachers and instructors you got years ago, you never got anything explained twice, they weren't trying to be your friend, they didn't care if you liked them, there was no such thing as excuses, no small talk, you always listened because everything they said was worth hearing and they always knew their stuff.
+jelkel25 Kids need only the internet now
Stew B If that were true there wouldn't be schools & colleges (though if you have the self discipline you can do a degree on line now) or courses or training.
There are internet schools now ,college, is mostly for dating
Stew B Yeah, shouldn't think it will be long until the whole experience is virtual (except lunch) and you're looking at holograms instead of a screen. No, college is dating till the last year then it's total panic as you try to get your life together and realise how much debt you're in !!!!!
I miss the old days... Pre 2000 I mean.
Jack, Les Hiddins, and Lofty Wiseman have been inspirations to me since I was a kid. Was very sad to hear of Jack's passing, when these men are gone I will have no living heroes. They literally don't make em like that anymore.

😊😊😊😊😅😮😊
Great Series...RIP Jack you will be missed
Jack was a man of many skills, always something to learn from him.
I love this part of Australia around Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Streaky Bay and Ceduna. Somewhat underrated IMO, without the hordes of tourists like the Great Ocean Road!
RIP John Henry "Jack" Absalom
11 November 1927 - 22 March 2019
RIP
Jack is a Aussie Hero to me.Smart & wise.If you change the Title more people will find & enjoy this history.
My Uncle was the mine manager at Iron Knob in 1963. Went and stayed with him and his wife a few times when I was a little kid. Showed me the hole in the roof from a rock when they were blasting. 😆 Chopping chooks heads off on a block of wood and plucking them for dinner. Gee I miss those days. RIP Jack 👍
39:03 restore that building ! Good to see something from South Australia . That part of the country has something very different on offer. Some aspects of the scenery reminds me of my own country of Denmark
2NNQ I hear you loud and clear, rest easy and thank you for your service to us all mate
Agree
Old Jack is a dying breed, The true blue Aussie bloke..
West coast of S.A is amazing. R.I.P dear Jack.

RIP Jack the 'Legend' Absalom
Russell Coight maybe?
JACK ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ YOUR ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ A LEGEND ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Man I would love to see Jack going to a modern 4x4 or camping super store and show him all the new whiz bang things we have now.. Solar, showers, tents, etc..
Done this drive many time lived in ceduna for.many years still own a house there today... Ohhh mate razor fish hearts are good eating I worked those oyster leases for quite a few years

It's a long time since i seen Rex Hunt do anything!
Quintessential Australian.....'Well I love it '
11:08 he celebrates 420 god bless him

“Youse can turn on a storm, whatcha like!”
Gee, dad hated Chrysler! lol, he'd be turning in his grave right now. He always said it's a good car. It's a Mitsubishi!....
(i think Mitsubishi took over at some point). :)
Jack is an absolute legend!!!!
RIP Jack, you will always be in my memory......
Did you see the sign Chrysler had on their roof in Australia
After they teamed up with Rootes, a car company from the UK
It read "Chrysler Rootes Australia "
It changed once they realised Aussie slang
THANK YOU OTHER GREAT AUSTRALIA TRAVEL THOUGH BEAUTY AUSTRALIA BUSH
Anyone know if the Battery is still running ?
Hows the old girl in green. I love this stuff.
Anywhere there are plants, you got water how thick do you think people are.

I think this bloke is who Russel Coight was based on
Is Jack related to Malcom Turnbull at all?
Yes , Uncle
Vale John Henry Absalum.
lovely fellow, lovely show. Anyone know what happened to him?
He lived out his life in Broken Hill, NSW. I think he still painted way out in the countryside right up to just about the end.
A wee bit of insulation tape on the caravan and back window, line them up and look how much money you saved by learning how to drive and reverse.
8:35 a Christopher Walken mannequin!
My dream job.
Gets bogged towing a caravan with a 4x4, that wouldn't have happened if he was with the trusty mitsubishi Sigma Station wagon!
Plates covered in mercury, that's safe :) Only if your wearing a full Hazmat suit.
That's a bit dramatic. I've played with mercury as a child when thermometers still had it inside. It's really neat stuff I had so much fun, I looked for the stuff in the future so I could experiment a bit more since I was a bit more grown.
I've played with mercury too, and my father ran the Meekatharra Battery 1980-81.
Lol bush tucker mans dad
@16:10 Yup, let's bring the steel industry back to Whyalla, South Australia. Australian quality ore. AUSTRALIAN QUALITY STEEL!!! Bring back manufacturing back on our own soil and create employment!. This will finish the CCP :D
I mean, they don't need our coal, barley, wheat, wine, beef, etc, so I guess they don't need our ore either!....LOL
(I'd reckon most would agree, but there's always the odd one that doesn't) ;)
Cheers!
Wonder how old he is?
+Y Knot Jack was born in 1927.
+GEZZA1 from what I've researched his still alive?
He turns 89 later this year. Born in 1927.
91 still going
and now we ship all the ore to china and buy shit steel back
What?? You mean stainless steel isn't suppose to rust...money will destroy us all if we dont change our ways.
Bush Tucker Man rules
That grey 1920s dress was beautiful I would pay too dollar for that for mum to wear
Your a dickhead mate neck up
