The original 1986 57-minute documentary which kicked off the Bush Tucker Man legend.

Original Synopsis:

Ethno-botanist Major Les Hiddins is a soldier with a unique job. He is studying the natural survival resources of the vast remote wilderness of northern Australia, learning, mainly from Aboriginal people, about the native bush food and medicine that has sustained their culture for more than forty thousand years. It is the first study of its kind in the two hundred years of European settlement of Australia and is providing valuable information which will greatly assist Australian soldiers in both war and peace should they ever have to survive in such inhospitable regions.

Best and Worst of Farming

By


Description given on Youtube:
There are a lot of ups and downs when it comes to running a farm. Whether or not you are doing it part time or full time there will be moments you love and things that you despise.

For me, I love eating, and I love feeding people nutritious food. Good food is something that transcends all boundaries. Anyone can appreciate a good meal. The reward I get from farming is knowing that food was raised in a responsible and humane manner and will provide that person with a healthy meal.

Some of the hang ups in small scale agriculture are all the regulations. Anyone who has actually tried to farm, especially livestock, can agree that there are a lot of out-dated, unfair, or just plain foolish regulations put into place (most likely) for the wrong reasons.

Just as the process of learning is iterative and you change once you gain more knowledge, policy should be allowed to be more iterative based on updated facts, research, and connection to modern farming practices.

How do we change the policies that bother us? Try to do what you want to do, get people to rally behind you, and bring your case to the policy makers. We’re only going to be able to change a little at a time and it’s going to take a while but I think we can do it.

Just because someone sits behind a desk doesn’t make them evil or a bad person, they just need to be reminded just who they’re working for.
