I enoyed the "Bush Tucker Man" when it was on. Some of the tales he told
about survival in the desert and jungle were extremely interesting.
Particularly the ones about crashed Allied bomber crews stranded in the
outback. Some died with "food" hanging from the branches, but they were
ignorant of them, others were rescued by indigents who fed and watered
them in caves until they could gain the health to get back to
"civilisation". Reminiscent of that film with the "Railway Children" star
Jenny Agutter ? and her younger brother after their father shot himself in
the desert. Quite memorable I thought.
Although perhaps not quite so "wild" as parts of South America, I am
thinking of the still unexplored regions along the Amazon River, survival
is certainly harder in parts of Oz than in the UK. Mind, that does not
include the Bigge Market area on a Saturday night! Booze City with plenty
of rough-houses in the Capital City of Clubland so they say).
