What a lovely opportunity to hear this story straight from his mouth. Truely honored

What an absolute Aussie legend!!! When men were actually men, tough as nails!

Unreal! Thanks for sharing some of the old footage, could watch it for hours.

That was fantastic to watch and hear your story Brad .Great to see the old footage of Mallacoota. Hope you have more footage coming. Cheers

A glimpse into an Australia long lost. Thanks for the vid. Long live Chris Conroy.

I remember Grant and his boat and some of the characters in this video. My old man worked for Hooky Bourke in the chinese restaurant back in 86! Can’t wait to go back!

i used to have one of those, 23 foot twin 225 suzukis, the faster you went the better the ride. still regret the day i sold it.

True legend right here.

Fuck me dead I did a summer working in Gipsy Point years ago, not far from Mallacoota, great fishing. I’ve seen these guys videos on RU-vid since then seen the son and his boat, and when he rolled it but the old boy to go and re-purpose and be a helicopter pilot for the fire brigade… fuck what great videos Epic you guys are awesome. Garden hose for days, wish I met you at the pub!!!!!

This country has some bloody legends doesn’t it, another cracker guys keep it up

the good old days...

lovely story and great archive - a top watch!

awesome story

Wow good times

It’s a shame you didn’t get more time to ask him about the 233 behind him.

You mates not afraid of white pointers In the old days

one bad machine

7 bucks for abalone license lol. Different times

It amazes me everyone is or was a pro surfer

Killa vid bro premo story too

He seemed proud of his overfishing in the past this is not a man to give a platform to

Looks like a real interesting video, Just could not get what he was saying because of the damn background music, Just make a documentary or a music video, not both!
