100% correct. should be so much more indigenous history shown in school not just "the rabbit proof fence" there is so much we as Australians could learn.

I'm an American and this is the first I've seen of this show and I love it. 1988 was when my first child was born. Wish they could've even started it earlier to help preserve the wonderful history of the Australian Aboriginal.

15/09/2022 WONDERFUL AUSSIE INFO! We Australians have an Indigenous history going back some 200,000 yrs. Which country can "brag" of such a long history as we can? I joined the Army Reserves in Darwin, post Cyclone Tracey, into 7IRC (7th Independant Rifle Company) and ended up being on patrol along the northern coastline of Australia. We had at least 50% Indigenous soldiers in our Unit. Nowadays, if driving along the north of the WA, NT and Qld one may see several Army vehicles come from "who knows where" and keep moving in another direction. NORFORCE is the Unit to which the vehicles belong and I'm sure that a good percentage are still "local" Indigenous soldiers. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ARMY!

@markshort9098 Жыл бұрын

About 40,000 to 50,000 years ago.. modern humans have only been around for 200,000 years

@martinreinhold6589 Жыл бұрын

What Mark says is correct. 200000 years puts indigenous Australians back in the Neandathal Era. That is not the case. They are modern humans and to say differently is racist. I was also in NORFORCE and had great experience in the NT and have also met Les on a few occasions. ABC would never make a series like this these days. Shame but we just have to keep paying for it I guess.

@tsopmocful1958 Жыл бұрын

Always found this series frustrating, as we learn very little about the actual bush tucker. For example, the 'non de plume' is mentioned in a couple of episodes, yet we never even get a look at the leaf or have the species name flashed on the screen. Same with the 'water tree'. We are none the wiser about finding one or how to harvest it properly, beyond assuming from its look that it is some type of paperbark tree (Melaleuca sp.?). I eagerly watched all of these in my twenties when they were first broadcast, but I was always disappointed at how little information was actually imparted.

IMO it was a novelty show and useless for anything but a bush snack - if that. Malcolm Douglas, on the other hand, was the real deal.

Thats interesting, unless im mistaken. The red pea like fruit that he is saying is used as an abortative is not native to australia. Its Abrus precatorius In fact, the Abrus genus is entierly absent in Australia to my knowledge. Id be interested to know more about this. Has it been introduced before european contact? Or is this a misidentification? The seed he is holding looks like an Abrus species...

@flowerpower8722 Ай бұрын

Some plant species around the north coast get washed in by sea. So some may originate from PNG, Indonesia, any other SE Asian Island, Pacific Islands. There is some ancient tree that is native to a small area of WA, and some small area of Africa. Go figure. A common one is palm trees on the beaches. Although they naturally germinate, they are not native, but washed in.

Doesnt it. Remind you. Of America. Native Americans. And soldiers. Now. Aboriginals and soldiers. Its a pity. They didnt get along. Like this in first place without all battles. And killings. But alas. Life. Chose a different path. Bad feeling and ignorance. Being paramount. !!!!!!
