- The desert is in the midst of a shocking drought so Jangala sends the Bush Mechanics to Broome to get a pearl shell so he can make rain. Rebel Films/Warlpiri Media co-Production
26 cents a litre, OMG this was LONG time ago ? love it..
Actual crazy i wish times didnt change
How funny as the old fella started singing for rain with the pearl shell, its stated raining here!
+marksfirst1 you don’t know the half of it. It really rained and the stuff in the story really happened!
marksfirst1 Hahha same here👍💪
These guys are amazing. So in tune with their land and full of innovation. Makes me proud to be human 💛🤗😎
The green sign HC 370. Halls Creek . I lived there for 10 years. I bet that ford Fairlane was stuffed when they got there that road is very corrugated.
Love Halls Creek...especially the Rodeo. Yes....The ford was absolutley cactus. The gearbox had gone as well. Had to fly one in on a Cessna from Yuendumu. Took all night to get it in. But we got her back on the road
they got to an intersection went right to Halls creek, and left would have been Fitzroy, so how did they end up driving thru Fitzroy. After the Broome beach bit, they headed off home without the new hats and boots, blew another grand. But the best bit is: where the bloody hell are they getting all these old cars from, they're worth a small fortune these days, they should advertise them on Gumtree for some good bucks
When this was made the cars were worthless
Haha shall we ask the police? Nah theyll lock us up
10:37 I have come from this exact same road at this intersection in 2012 lol. That’s Tanami Road.
Yep, sure is
..I'm fkn straight Stoked that you lads put this show on TH-cam..!!!!
The best fkn TV series I ever fkn seen... This One..!!!
So fkn original, and So fkn Real..!!!... Reminding me instantly of the epic years l spent in that incredible country of my mother's people..(!!)....[ Albeit different tribes, as her people come from the Bundjalung warrior tribes
{ Murri peoples}, of Northern New South Wales....{Juggerra peoples, from same country too}, my brothers and sisters] )...
...It is so good for my soul to see and hear the people from the same continent and bloodlines from my mother's homeland after so long, yeah..!!..The ancestors are forever, deep inside, calling my soul home, home; Home..(!!!)....!!
Only the people will ever truly understand..(*)..my brothers and my sisters....
Your blood flows through my veins, and our ancestors remain forever in the ancient homeland.....though a waste of wild seas may seperate my body therefrom for a time....
I hope for my body to be buried in the earth of that ancient and priceless, sacred land...(!!!)...
Tjukurrpa..!!!
Alcheringa..!!!!
Forever!!...All of my love, my dear brothers and sisters....
Forever!!!

From a white fella who has been friends with your people and learned a lot from different tribes from Pinjarra WA, Kununurra WA, Adelaide, Port Augusta SA, Camperdown Victoria. All we have to do is listen to the stories the elders tell us. Respect :)
Deadly

Great content much love to you from Philly

This is so good. Thanx
I swear that at 14:30, I could smell the rain on the dry earth. :D
Great video and FU46
Wish they had made more episodes
Truth is we were offered to make another series but declined because it was a bloody miracle these got made in the first place and we wouldnt be able to pull off another series...true
WOW! Thanks for sharing that, I remember watching this on the ABC many years ago, possibly when it was made, so glad I found these on TH-cam.
Hard to find anyone who hasnt seen it...bloody popular
soo ahhh, how did they get back home? haha
Walked
@@RebelFilms just a casual 1,800 km or so haha, least they got the rain for the walk!
Cooled em off
1400km trip on the back roads. About 20 hours driving if you hit it hard. One way!
Yep, done the ol Tanami so many times....had some serious breakdowns too! Shooting this episode of Bush mechanics we actually blew the gearbox and most of the shots is being towed or shunted!
Ha!
I'm a truck driver on the east coast do the Tanami track is on my bucket list.
I also have to do the Sturt and the Brisbane-Perth run. Then I can die happy.
Ha Ha....Tanami is a classic...some good spots to throw out the swag....OOdnadatta track is pretty special too...cheers
show is brilliant
Badass aussie built ford fairlane doing what aussie cars do best.. eat up kms' 💪🏾
Love this series, are the fellas in it still doing their thing?
We made this a fair while ago now. Things have moved along somewhat.
Rebel Films no chance of another series akin to this and black as being filmed?
We made a one off half hour of Bush Mechanics and then a four part series. We dont have the rights to put up the original halfa. Bush Mechanics has reached cult status in OZ and seen by most adult people across the country. Black as is in a similar vein with 24 episodes. We put them up on our Black As channel. get to it via here. www.blackas.com.au . We currently have series two of Black As on our National Broadcasters On line channel Iview but it is restricted to OZ right now sorry. But glad your a fan. Cheers Bruz
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That car is worth so much now
+Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage It is now held in a museum.
While this is a cool movie, now at the Melbourne ACMI the mad max interceptor is split in half
Yes, we were commissioned to make that car
@@RebelFilms can you tell me a little more.
@@crazyman1650 Would be the longest reply ever… I go way back with the Warlpiri and Francis who I made all the Bush Mechanics fils with. I towed that car all the way to the proper rainmakeing place. We camped for 5 days and old Jungala and Francis painted it up. Then we towed it to Nowra and an expert cut it in half.

Ok but who films this where is the camera man and how did he get there
I filmed it, the camera was hand held most of the time. No mounts or rigs. I drove there by car
Rebel Films awesome.
What are you mob getting around in these days? - round my way it’s just 90s commodores and falcons now - they keep running, well built machines - few Hyundai’s too - every single one of em have a trail of blue smoke
the Bush Mechanics still get around in pretty ropey rides! the roads have improved but cars still used for hunting etc
i can imagine - my area theres heaps of cops so cars have to be tip top - i dont see anything older than 1992 as older than that the price goes up - ive got a de reg AU falcon as my bush rig
"shaman rainmakers"
simeone smokes winnie reds!
righto
Rebel Films I was looking when they caught a snake trying to figure out if it was matches or smokes and then I realised that they were Winnie’s
very observant....there was only one smoker
yeah i figured it was simone - wouldve been cheap and tasted better than winnies do now
No, Simeon didnt Smoke. It was Errol, he was the only smoker.
Can anyone tell me who did the motorcar song from the show and the credits? Many thanks.
The original motor car song.., “ Motacar Wiru” was written and performed by Bill Davis in Pitjantjatjara. We commissioned him to do a version in Warlpiri for Bush Mechanics. “Motacar Ngutju”
@@RebelFilms Thanks a bunch. I want to play it for my cars while I work on em.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i watched this before it was age-restricted, and now it is
b r u h
oh well just gotta wait a few years
Yeah... wtf!

No idea!!! Not our doing! FB😠
@@RebelFilms shame I was really getting into this show man
@@BlackAsAU yea u tube age restrictions
What’s the song that can be heard at 13:25?
hmmm cant remember...but local musos created it

It would take some digging bro unless it was the Bush mechanics song
Not like you're going to download it on Spotify!
Check out Baker Boy tho. He is on Spotify
That car must stick so bad no ac water etc
20:36
You territory mob tought me a thing or 2 - out a fuel pump in a round up container and strapped it to the bonnet and I was on my way
cool
its on my channel - it was mad as
what would you like with your snake this morning sir......lol
3:17 what is that song called I like it
Local Musos
Bunch of incompetent car wreakers. Want car wreaked bring it to them to fix it 😆 unroadworthy wreaks.
You edited your comment but didn't fix any of the spelling/syntax errors?
Puzzling.
What did it look like pre edit? I can barely believe it read worse than it currently does.
Is this a made up story? Like is this a true reflection of Australian culture? I'm an American so I have no idea haha be nice.
Its a doco/drama hybrid. Based on a true story
Rebel Films hmm interesting
Where's the ep5 rebel films?
Love from Algeria
Aboriginal languages and culture is something I rarely hear or see and the modern aspect of this show is real nice. The environment also makes me nostalgic for the Sahara.
Glad you like it mm mm
Amazing documentary, very insightful, five stars
Glad your lovin our films Cooler
What a neat show love the way they improvise some good tricks I might need 1 day
Twenty six cents a liter.
Great show! I helped get a friend's 1979 Mazda 121 running again one day after breaking down, and I always thought I saw how to do it from watching this.
Now, years later, I have just watched everything again (thanks for uploading) and actually the method we used does not seem to be shown at all. The car in question had a poorly fitted electronic fuel pump which failed, and rather than mess around with the pump wiring and what not, we filled the windscreen washer bottle with fuel and ran the line to the carby. To drive, my mate would hold his foot down for air and squirt the washer button for fuel, which would make a beep when pressed.
I found it really amusing because when he was cruising along, it would be like beep.................beep...................beep..........
and then he would go to overtake and it would be like beep..beep...beep..beep.beep.beep.beep.
He kept driving it like that for weeks and replacing the washer bottles when they dissolved. (Go Wayne!)
So anyway, re-watching Bush Mechanics I have seen blowing air into a washer bottle to refill a radiator, or at least, top it up a bit. I have also seen removing a mechanical fuel pump and having a passenger running it manually inside the car with a spanner. But no windscreen washer system become fuel supply system. Hmmm. Oh well, I guess I was a mechanic at the time. Thanks for idea, where ever it came from. It actually worked very well, albeit temporarily.
Hope the funds for Black AS series 3 find a way to come through. Great work in any case, thank you. Love these shows.
Nice Story Kay...Onya mate
+Rebel Films hey Kaysem. The Bush Fix you are talking about is in the very first Episode of Bush Mechanics. We will put it up soon. Love your story. Bloody ripper
Thats sik i want to try this for fun 😂
Is it me or in my the only one my heart got heavy when I saw those secret paintings and the store owner just gobble them up with a smile😒 yet the show must go on and I love the fellowship comradely I respect the culture love the country be blessed 🌬️💨⛵🤟
to be fair they did get probably like $500+ worth of stuff from his shop
Seems like a fair trade to me?
What happened to the new clothes, they bought with the paintings?
I saw this car at the museum today with a Police Defect notice on it hahaha
Yep, that is a genuine defect notice. I know cause I was driving it in Broome when the cops got me.
Really??
@@RebelFilms classic poor bloke 😂
Good old Aussie Cleveland V8, can't kill them.
Still in good shape
Love u guys. I watched all your episodes. So where is your white friend? He's no longer with you guys?
Your confusing Bush mechanics with Black AS. We made Bush mechanics nearly twenty years ago. The Black as boys and Joe were kids!
@@RebelFilms crazy to think about glad the boys have carried it on
J love petrol station at min 4,40. Ahahaha Ask if they accept bit coi n!!!
Not much chance of that Enzo!
Best show ever!!!!!!
What a show!
was that a BIG BLOCK in the car ? any body
Standard V8
Been up that way myself and either had or have been in ALL those cars. Great memories, actually some Aboriginal chaps help me out when I was having starter probs too. Wonderful show. Loved it!
Nice one bro
6:46 Godnatt JA! Godnatt Gutta :P sounds very Norwegian to me
Really!
I'm proudly Western Australian 🇦🇺
Id that a ZG fairelain, I owned one , good car
It was a ripper. V8 and plenty of room.
Rebel Films , 302 Cleveland , awesome, thanks guys 👍. Love all your movies 👍
Can you believe that car is now in a museum! Glad you like our films ....onya Ultimate Machine
Rebel Films thanks for the info, can't wait to check in out,which museum 👍
Well actually, It has been in a travelling Bush Mechanics exhibition all around the country. Just finished in Melbourne Museum. So not sure where it is now. Heres the link motor.history.sa.gov.au/events/bush-mechanics-the-exhibition/ Thats me ...David Batty on camera. I directed and wrote the series as well.
Why take the radiator cap of while the cooling system is under pressure and hot, loose all the water then go looking for water ? Just let it cool down.
Troy Ball looks better for tv
@@RebelFilms Yep, the geyser looks the part. It's a TV show. I've dealt with an overheat once, years ago. About an hour until I got the cap off. You need something to do like read a book, or go get a meal. Another one, not so long ago,but it was the thermo fans stopped working: worn-out bearings on the fan motors. Nothing wrong with the cooling system, and it was full - no leaks.
Just need to open it slowly and let the pressure out whilst holding a rag and you dont lose bugger all
@@DIRTYPLACCY yeah except use of your hand for a bit...
@@DIRECT.x.FLUID.x.TRANSMISSION hense the rag to protect your hand ya cooker. Half of you have never worked on a car and it shows 😂
