The Good Ole Days,

I found this on a Caravan forum/site and it bought back many old memories, Some of you might remember ?

Leyland Brothers World near Coffs Harbour? I wouldn't want to walk to Coffs from there.

Their show was one I never missed, it would be good to see some reruns, Australia has changed a lot since then.

They always showed the true Australia, No tricks or fancy editing and it was always educational, :Y: .

I watched Mal Leyland give a talk on his travels at the camping show last year, very interesting.
One take away I got from him was that if you're thinking of traveling, do it now, because you are never as young as you are now.
Cheers

The Leyland Brothers were my fav tv show growing up followed by Harry Butler in the wild and Malcolm Douglas, loved those shows.

Dejavu, only saw their old land rover in the foyer of the new Motorsport park in Tailem Bend on Monday, bought back a lot of memories.

Backcreek, I couldn't agree more.
Someone said or wrote the other day," people work very hard all their lives to enjoy a good retirement only to find that health issues prevent them from it".

Loved watching the Leyland Brothers wish there was stuff on tv like that nowadays. We hardly watch tv anymore except for the news and the footy.

As a sub teen in the early 70s, the numerous shots of the Leyland Brothers wives was almost as good as peeking through the gap in the lounge room door while dad was watching Number 96

They are a National Treasure, I think they were the reason I wanted to go bush in the first place, I remember writing down some of the places they took us to as my bucket list and my first vehicle was a Willy's Jeep CJ5, and I have been hooked ever since,

I wonder what they would think of all the fancy 4WD kit we have nower days ?, Their travels were a mammoth task even with their old Land Rovers etc, we can have a lot of home comforts depending on our budgets but back then most of this kit was not invented,

I thank them for the inspiration and opening up my young mind way back then, :Y:

Now their the real reality TV shows that kid's and some adults now days will never understand. Back in the day before remotes and all technology that consumes us these days. Having to conform to dictated (self regulated) exercise by getting off your arse to change the chanel or realign the rabbit ear antenna :lol: :Y:.

Jack Absolom was and still is a legend in my book to the point he was the first bushy TV icon my boys ever watched. As a kid I lived the experience of living on /with the land which is the reason I'm drawn to real life documentaries I suppose but the first I ever saw on the telle as a kid was Harry Butler in the wild :Y:.

 

[Outback]

Jack Absalom is still alive
