    As a teen in the 80s with no computers, no cash, fuck all to do of a weekend other than footy & cricket, Malcom Douglas was truly inspirational in getting us off our asses to explore the coastline & start our own adventures into fishing. He brought 1st nations people, their culture & lands into our living rooms which back then really was a far off other world to a Melbournian kid. Same can be said about the Leyland brothers & others though Douglas was way cooler. A true Aussie legend. Thanks for uploading.

      I remember this footage from a film night back in the day. But being in Melbourne and of little funds could not try 10% of Malcolm's journey. If I had known him, I would have driven up and been his free of cost slave boy - just for the excitement and knowledge. I would have done the same for Albi. They were pioneers in trying to show us the Aboriginal culture. Then there is Jack later on.

    Malcolm headed off for most of his big adventures the year I was born in 64. A hard man by all accounts but probably just intolerant of nonsense or some such. Anyway, good life, annoying way to die but you couldn’t make it up. I imagine he got to a point, wedged against the post, where he just said “ah f@#k it, so be it”. He loved his kids. Just couldn’t say it. Dads were buggers like that back then.

      It's obviously not his voice narrating. Malcolm has a different voice and a slight lisp in fact, in his early videos like in the 70's and early 80's I notice that Malcolm doesn't talk as much, but in his late 80's videos and onward he talks more and more in the scenes to the camera, which I personally find better.
