Excellent,the sort of film I can watch all day.
A record of life at the time,and a hard tough life,heat,flies,taipans all sorts of hard times,tough men doing a tough job of the day.
I noted the Aboriginal boys are fair dinkum tribesmen with those tribal cicatrices.The modern 'white' ab is a long way removed from their roots eh!
Plus I cant see too many modern boys jumping in the drink either.

The old boys are also very fit, now they are just very fat.

Wish we could thin the buggers up here!
Getting too many & way too bloody big, which forces the smaller ones further South, now down as far as the Mary River in Maryborough. Won't be long before someone gets taken down near Brisbane, hoping & praying that it won't; bloody greenies have too much power because it is an 'endangered' animal & the likes of Steve Irwin.
Turn the big ones into trophies & the smaller ones into handbags & shoes....not bad chewing either!

Very popular with many people in the South of the USA - deep fried in batter!

There is an old newspaper clipping of one shot [1921] ? Bremer River near Ipswich Queensland ,makes you wonder how he got there ,whether he was a tourist or refugee
