Since appearing on television screens thirty years ago, Les Hiddins - the ‘Bush Tucker Man’ - has not stopped documenting and teaching people about bush tucker. After countless shows and books, the man in the memorable hat is going digital in a move to meet modern demand.
In the late 1980s, in the depths of remote Arnhem Land, a captain from the Australian Army sleeps in a swag and fishes the creeks. As he ventures through the bush, he picks leaves, berries and bark from the dense, wild land.
He knows which are poisonous and which make for a nice cup of tea. He knows how to find fresh water on an isolated beach and how to create fire from tree sap. Thanks to invaluable local knowledge gleaned from local Indigenous communities, he knows exactly how to survive.
This is Les Hiddins - aka the Bush Tucker Man, Australian icon and beloved ABC TV personality - doing what he does best.
