Veteran adventurer Malcolm Douglas will explore remote areas of north Australia, the Kimberley, Arnhem Land and the Great Sandy Desert.

The Seven Network has released more details of its new series featuring veteran outback adventurer Malcolm Douglas.
As reported here last Friday, the documentary series In the Bush will premiere at 6:30pm February 7th -the same timeslot that was home to the now uncertain Great Outdoors.
Douglas, who has produced natural history docos including Across the Top, North to Niugini and Follow the Sun will explore remote areas of north Australia by boat, and the Kimberley, Arnhem Land and the Great Sandy Desert by road.
“City people are fascinated by bush survival skills,” he says.
“They might never use the information but many of them dream of that great trip around Australia.
NB: Do NOT contact this website for recipe requests.
“With better roads, 4WD vehicles and satellite phones, the real true Aussie bushies are fast disappearing.”
This series is a chance to see the real outback, its animals and Aussie characters before their way of life and environment disappears.
Douglas, now 68, took a short break from TV when he was hit with prostate cancer. Now recovered, these days he is currently enjoying life in Broome WA and running a commercial crocodile farm.
“You can’t keep a man out of the outback for long. I’m fully recovered and every day is a bonus.”

I love in the bush with malcom.My children and I (boy 4 girl 5) love watching how he hunts cooks and survives in the bush I wish I could go on one of his docco trips
I really want to get a DVD of the recent episode where Malcolm visits the Kimberly Bushman in his 70’s with his his 34 yo. wife. What a classic “Don,t need any of them ‘niagra’ tables, just plenty of corn meet.” Can I buy the DVD if so where?
Please ask Seven or source a DVD blog, sorry, this site tracks on air content.
Sally…I think that was ep4 or ep5.
Google…”in the bush malcolm douglas s01e04″
I would like to know the title of the episode where he went to the school and fished and cooked with the kids. The principal linked cultural activities to literacy program and has 100% attendance rate. I would like to quote this in an essay. Could you please help me with the reference. hats off to this principal and to Malcolm to sharing this with us.

Malcolm’s show is a gem. Great to see rare white/black dingoes & Boondie(?) the red heeler trying to paddle through a metre deep of mud (27Feb09) was one of the many serendipitous splashes of humour. Those recipes and cooking methods are always a treat. The music & theme music very apt & enjoyable. I’ll be keenly looking out for the dvd’s, if released.
Are the videos of teh In Teh Bush series available for purchase? If so from where?

Love the series would like to buy last weeks episode screened on saturday 21 february 2009 for my residents at our hospital in Emmaville N S W..
I found a couple of the recipes on this leaflet
There really is no recipe for cooking in the bush. It is handful of this and that. A good cooking utensil ie, camp oven, cast iron pan or pot with lid and a fire with coals to cover utensils. I am sure that Malcolm would agree. Just use your imagination.
i like your cooking
Ok this is getting really frustrating now.
I have answered this question (twice) and pointed to it several times. People, please read comments!
No further enqs for recipes or fact sheets will be published here.
