This was so fascinating! I love the part about the HF radio as I'm a ham radio operator and sure wish the recording still existed. I'm going to track down Madigan's book. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I tried in vain to source the recording, and it seems that the ABC no longer has it in its vaults. Which is a pity. At the time, Madigan made the claim that he was the first person to broadcast an aboriginal person on national radio, and from our research, it seems he was correct. So a little bit of history has been lost, but we've done our best to recreate it here without having access to the original recording, which we would have loved to have been able to hear. Perhaps it is still out there somewhere? Who knows? The book is well worth a read.
Thanks very much for watching and commenting. Really happy to hear that you enjoyed the historical side of the trip, it's something we feel is lacking in a lot of modern 4x4 content.
@@thewhiteoxoverland I appreciate seeing the book covers on there too, my old man loves those kinds of old books so I'll be on the look out for them at the second hand store.
@Slipperygecko390 yep. And the film is based on one of those old books. Madigans 1939 'crossing the dead heart'. It's an excellent read if you can get a copy. As is Carnegie's 'Spinifex and Sand'
Great job… best I’ve seen in a long time-good to hear some of the history that almost forgotten and in a language we can understand. Keen to see where you go next. 🤙🏽
Thanks so much Geoff for your comments and glad you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out part 1 and 3 also if you haven't already. A tremendous amount of time and research goes into a film like this and feedback like this makes it all worthwhile. Next film will trace the journey of McDouall Stuart and the overland telegraph line.
I suspect that the "Voice" and, particularly the ABC, don't know about Andy and CT Madigan's opinion of the original TOs. If a recording of Andy's song and dance was still available -t it would beat Farnham's "Voice" hands down.
I suspect it would too! Certainly, Madigan described it that way. We only wish we could have heard it. Perhaps it is in the vaults somewhere, unlabelled and needing a good dust off?... Who knows? All we have managed to source so far is Madigans written account.

@@thewhiteoxoverland Definitely a good niche, every track has a story to tell.
@@Slipperygecko390 It sure does!
