Les Hiddens - Champion and Legend

Another magnificent effort from the true legend of the Ozzy bush……..absolutely tremendous!

Love this show, it's one of my all-time favorites. Greetings from germany

I bloody hope those telegraph blokes got paid well.

Fantastic as always, what a treasure!

It's interesting how these things happen. In the United States, most of the major freeways follow the same routes that the natives and mountain men took a couple of hundred years ago. There's a great documentary by Ken Burns called Horatio's Drive that shows his route in the earliest days of the automobile on a cross country trip, long before the freeways. As a truck driver it was especially fascinating to me as I've regularly taken the same routes that he traveled. I really would recommend that documentary as an excellent way to understand early travel.

1800’s, amazing times of exploration.

Regarding the Ghan, most people believe the name is describing the Afghans who drove camels trains in Australia. I believe that the Afghans were actually Pakistani. My mother was the Railway Station Mistress at Mt Garnet in North Queensland around the mid 1930s. She had contact with the Pakistani camel drivers when they brought in sandalwood from the Gulf Country to send the wood by rail to the coast, from there it was exported to Pakistan and India for incense. She was befriended by these people who who insisted that the Ghans were from Pakistan, a British colony. A much more likely source of camels and people given that Australia was connected to Britain too. Afghanistan not so much.

Legend....🤠🇭🇲👍

fantastic episode! thanks ABC ! 🎬🏜️🌄🛻📹🤙😎

One of Australia's greatest explorers and a leader who never lost a man on an expedition was John Forrest - not that we ever hear his name spoken by 'tothersiders'...

Love the bush tuker man

Fantastic series thx

Stuart was lion-hearted, but in my opinion Peter Egerton Warburton's journey west in 1873/4 at the age of SIXTY is the greatest journey undertaken by a European in Australia.

Great show

Les the champion

Always superb

Stuart is from my home town in Scotland. The recognition he gets here in Scotland is pitiful.

More more more 😀

Les puts the myths about snakes to rest with shorts on everywhere he goes

So wait, what's the misodic sign? The compass and protractor yeah? It's definition makes sense as to how it fits the scenario, my only question again is HOW did they know what it was, how did they show it to him??! Through dance or did they stack their bodies or hands in a way, I'll keep doing research i guess...

😉👍😎The best awesome education

Maybe the story of the Dutch settlement is true and the black fellas who gave Masonic signs to Stuart, received that info from those Dutch settlers

❤

amazing program as always. rip les

A more sophisticated Leyland Bro.s which many of us grew up on. By the way why was the melody from, 'Lady in Red' keep playing throughout?

Might Ludwig Leichhardt (1840s) have been the mystery white man the NT Aboriginals encountered?

Sir Les Hiddins ..National Treasure 🤑 why hasn't he been knighted,yet..

He's Australian, not European.

Australias best city, Adelaide.

It may be possible the Aboriginals were told about Muskets from other Aboriginals who had met Europeans and told the story to them and that was passed on to others possibly telling them about a stick that went bang, so, when they encountered people woth sticks that banged they thought they were muskets.

i heard he call katherine ,,,,after the mayors daughter,,he fancied her.. but he wasnt a good speller her name started with a C.. also alice springs was stuart springs,,,,it was the radio guy who changed it 2 his wife's name alice which he had no right 2 do,,,he dident do any bush bashing

and the white ants ate the poles out.

Great video but posted only 4 days ago, really ? More like 8 😂😂😂

Wouldn't it be more likely that information about the white man travelled, along with wheat, customs and words, via Aboriginal word of mouth instead of white men themselves? It would explain why they used an incorrect version of Musket.
