VIEWER ADVICE: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that this program may contain images and voices of people who have died.
In this episode, Les Hiddins is in the Gulf Country of Queensland around Doomadgee. In 1942, an American bomber crashed not far from here. Les relives the extraordinary story of the crash's survivors as he moves through the region. Those American airmen, like the majority of Australians, had no knowledge of native bush food or survival. The men starved to death surrounded by abundant food.
This episode first aired on the ABC in 1988.

The Bush Tucker Man is an Australian National Treasure. So impressed how respectful he is with the Aboriginal people and how they are respectful of him. Bloody Awesome.

@rastusbojangles 3 месяца назад

Yank, here. I have grown such a profound respect and interest in the native people of Australia. Thanks to this show and Malcolm Douglas. True survivors with an amazing creation story.

@ray.shoesmith 4 дня назад

There were a few other guys like Les back in the day mate, search RU-vid for the Leyland Brothers and Alby Mangels (okay, Alby doesn't quite meet the criteria, but damn he had some attractive young ladies accompany him on his adventures...but in 1987 Judy Green was something else)

The levels of nostalgia this show brings me are only matched by its levels of awesome and cultural awareness.

There is so much that can be learnt from the first peoples of this country, they were/are true masters of their environment. Sad to think that their knowledge might be lost.

What a bloke. I remember watching as a kid in the UK and dreaming of being out bush. I'm lucky enough now to spend most of my time in the WA bush. cheers Les, you inspired a global generation mate.

when i was growing up i loved this show. A few years ago for some reason i re-watched everything and a switch flicked in my brain. i thought i would do some research to see what native plants might have been used around here besides the obvious fishing. I grew up running around the bush in my area. East coast australia. I remember finding aboriginal carvings around the place. i have since gone out and identified 11 native bush tucker plants. ive tried many of them when i was absolutely sure what they were. Some were quite good, some not so much, but i still find it fascinating.

ABC, if you have original film and resources PLEASE remaster this in 1080p or higher. These documentaries are profoundly important to Australia and history, I would love to relive watching them again if they were in high resolution

@aistudio3173 2 года назад

Absolutely love this episode. Tony and Les are two amazing amazing people. Tony is so soft spoken and gentle. Les is absolutely at home in bush and respectful with first national people.

@theoztreecrasher2647 Год назад

Yes indeed, the elderly gentleman is truly a Real Gentleman! Reminds me of several old Aboriginal acquaintences from my long age youth. Sadly many of the current generation are not of the same calibre. But that applies to all colours and creeds these days.

@Antipodean33 Год назад

The work Les has done will be looked at for many years to come, especially by the black fellas who are losing their knowledge as these old fellas like Donny pass. It never ceases to amaze me how the central desert region aboriginals survived out there for 1000's of years. I've been out in those regions and i couldn't imagine what it would be like to be there on foot living offthe land there, it's an amazing feat of survival

@27:00 et al; absolutely priceless Aussie conversation - please watch this one to the end guys

@Michael-po7ou 2 года назад

This is 2022 what is the concern of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders seeing people that have since died we see it in media all the time?

@theoztreecrasher2647 Год назад

The religious beliefs of many Aboriginal People cause them great superstitious trepidation in dealing with dead people. From going near where someone has died to speaking of their dead relatives. Stupid I know, but no more so than the dumb beliefs of other Mumbo Jumbo Creeds - like Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists or you name it!

@davedunn4285 Год назад

Les you are amazingly talented mate I learn so much from you. Watching this video reminded me of a trip we had up to Coral bay back in the 1980’s and a tribe came from bush and the kids had never seen the ocean . When they saw us in the water they all charged in yelling were going to wet you Mr so I dived in 😂 and then the fun started . They were asking me to throw them into the water . I obliged and we all had a bloody good time . I still remember that day like it happened yesterday .

@MarkH10 Год назад

The old "Stay where you are" survival advice would have had them all rescued in less than 2 weeks.

@mauriceclark4870 Год назад

Related to other toads that are miraculously not as poisonous. Why did they choose the most poisonous toad to do the job others could have done more effectively?

@russellhamer8690 Год назад

Just fantastic viewing from a naturally interesting person..We've had a Bush Tucker Weekend re run .. I wish I had emigrated in 88.

@arjovenzia 2 года назад

Thought I would point anyone who enjoys this kinda thing at Chris Bamman. obviously inspired by Les. alot less talking, but a bloke out in the bush. He's not got the army behind him, but cathartic if your stuck in the city and cant get your boots dirty.

@conservativesniperhunter7439 2 года назад

Does anyone know if the surviving US Airmen who went in a Westerly direction with the others and survived wrote about his experience trying to survive? Does anyone know his name? It would be fascinating to hear his story.

@b.w.22 Год назад

Tommy George, the community leader, was so genuinely polite and charming, especially when sharing the palm heart at the end of the episode. So amazing that our hero was able to work with these sorts of people and seek the wisdom gained by thousands of years of life in areas that appear so inhospitable to us. Not shocked the American airmen perished - in fact, I’m surprised any of them made it. It’s a shame they weren’t provided with the right things to survive and effect rescue.

@alanbstard4 2 года назад

Spent many years watching Les. Bit risky sticking your hands in holes. don't know what's there, but I suppose a real survival situation you'd have to

Why hasn't Les got a Knighthood yet?

@kristinehayes4885 2 года назад

Because we don't that anymore.

@theoztreecrasher2647 Год назад

@@kristinehayes4885 Correct. The highest rank in the Order of Australia that can be bestowed after 2015 is Companion. An Australian citizen can still become a Knight/Dame via a substantive award of an imperial honour from Great Britian for service to them (or the world in general) deemed worthy of it by the Brits. Same as the French handed out la Légion d'honneur to old Aussie Servicemen.
