In this episode, Les looks at Ludwig Leichhardt's phenomenal journey across northern Australia from Moreton Bay near Brisbane to Port Essington north of Darwin. Leichhardt's early successes were due in part to his botanical observations.
'Bush Tucker Man: The Passionate Prussian' originally aired on the ABC in 1996.

How television should be. Both very interesting and educational too. Love these old reruns and it is also nice to see beautiful weather from back here in the rainy UK. Good health to you Les.

Parked and walked up to a lagoon between Pine Creek and Yellow waters about 1985.Standing looking at bird life, only thing in sitght, Charlies monster reared its impressive head right in front of me! How you get terrified while your brain is trying to process an answer. A big bull browsing on waterlillies and such, on bottom of the waterhole completely submerged like a bloody hippo, then coming up for a breath..perfect timing, I had been there for 5 minutes , Thank you ABC, for replaying this series.

I was a young adult when this series was on air, and didn't mind watching them as I was literally brought up on nature programs so they were my entertainment. Watching them, now, on KZfaq; I'm finding them so fascinating with the historical stories that Les brought to life (which didn't resonate with the younger me as much as the scenery). Thank you for showing these again and teaching me some history. I especially liked the ending... nice touch!

Les and Malcolm Douglas showed Australia to the world. They did this in a way that was respectful to the indigenous people. In fact both learned a great deal from Aboriginals and shared that with us.

As a Ham Radio operator, I can tell you that atmospherics and sun spot activity can really effect Ham Radio operations. One minute a band can be wide open, the next, shut down hard. But its still a decent way to communicate over long distance.

@alanmoffat4680 Жыл бұрын

Love the fact that Leichhardt named places etc after ordinary folk and events. British explorers named discoveries after Gentry and Superior Officers, maybe to curry favours. I like the river named Comet after seeing a comet one night, also discovered coal in Central Qld.

Les wholesome as always. The world is so anti colonialism now that it’s trying hard to forget and destroy these stories and discredit them (not true colonialism here per say but you get the point) Yet so much of the stories les tells is about cooperation of different cultures back then in reality.

@pantherslair Жыл бұрын

It is great learning about the history of our nation and those early settlers and explorers, but the series really did steer away from learning about "Bush Tucker" which was the whole point of what the show was about. Unfortunately this is what happens when these great shows get extra funding, get slicker in production and have all these extra people and producers working on the show - the show changes and many times they lose sight of the true essence of what the show was meant to be about. And those changes are not always for the best.

@grahameroberts8109 Жыл бұрын

Les was contracted through the Army to research and log bushtucker for printing on maps for survival purposes; hence his Army attire and vehicle. After leaving the Army, the later shows are in his own vehicle as noted by a keen observer. Les obviously changed the thrust of his shows into retracing the steps of early pioneers. You can find and read Leichhardt’s book online. 👍🏻🙏🦘

I don't understand why you would give yourself schedules and specific times you imagined you would reach A to B when planning on the other side of the world...Surely it would make more sense with these early expeditions to keep things open ended because you have no clue what will happen and giving yourself deadlines must just add an extra level of stress for no particular reason..
