  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
  • The annual monsoon season in the north floods the country. Malcolm spends three months filming the wet, travelling by 4WD and boat. A classic adventure taking the viewer from the barramundi fishermen of the Roper River to the Aboriginal out-stations of Arnhem Land.

    No snorkel, diff lockers, turbo, lift kit,lithium batteries, fridge, inverter, solar panels.....
    Just balls, and a camera.

      They're pretty good mate. The floating car full of empty beer cans was quintessential old school Australia. People used to take a Roady beer to drink on the way home from work whilst driving. I'm glad it's not as common thing these days. My old man spent a lot of his life digging people out of wrecked cars and when he became a senior officer in the fire service, he was on call 24/7 in a department car. If we were out I had to sit in the car at some horrendous accidents. A lot could have been avoided.

    Here's a little bit of useless information: contrary to popular belief Aussie's don't drink Foster's thats for tourists and the export market. Victoria Bitters or VB for short is their go to brew. If your ever in a pub in Australia don't order a Foster or you'll get some looks.

      When a mate came over from WA to Germany. We visited Kiel Week and the Australien booth on the international market was sponsered by Fosters. He was really upset and actually insulted. "Do you germans really believe we drink that piss?" It was just hilarious!

    • @SWHBOYCE
      @SWHBOYCE 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Foster's is made by Carlton , in Victoria state , Australia ( or ,at least it was in the '90's . I never saw Foster's down there ; a bottle of Carlton ( liter ) was less than 1.00 (Aust. ) ...and I saw many a pub when I was there ....just sayin'. Foster's sucks , like most American beer does ( commercially made , that is ....and , by the way ; ya won't see much decent Aust. wine here in the states ; they keep the good stuff for themselves . (...says a notable wine producer I met in Victoria .
