Leyland Brothers new DVD.

Comes with motion sickness tablets and a free set of ear-muffs so you can vomit in peace and quiet ;-)

When your grandchildren grow up and come to watch your old hat adventures with pills and muffs reflect on the "era" and laugh to yourself.
The Leylands were good value in their "era".
Old farts like me would have loved to have done what they did.
Thank god there was no DVD,s and TV when everyone was doing it with a bullock team how bloody boring.

Hello guys and gals,
one of the things I always enjoyed about the Leylands' stuff was that they actually gave you a good look at what was to be seen, instead of nice "PR" shots of the equipent and talking faces. The modern docs may be a more soffisticated in terms of their production, but I have to say that I find myself forever stretching my neck to try an get a glimpse at what it is that they are talking about. I may well be a fossil, but give me the Leylands any day.

Happy viewing,
Mike.

Oh well, might as well weigh in! I think that the Leylands, Nature Walk About (serventy's) and In the Wild with HB did a lot to inspire me to go out and have a look for myself. Not saying that I would not have anyway. Who can forget the HB series about the flooding of Lake Argyle? Got to see it two years ago - fair wait but I'm a patient man.

Kind regards

Hi everyone - I just drove uptown/downtown in Birdsville to do some chores and came upon a whole mob of people just out of the Simpson Desert doing a photo opportunity outside the Birdsville Pub (as you do) and read the stickers on the sides of the vehicles and who should they be - West to East, celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Leyland Brothers Crossing. So there!
Whilst about my chores up town I turned to leave the Post Office and there was this big bloke blocking my way - just waiting for me - who should it be - Gone Bush from WA, just drove into town in the maroon V8 Toyota Ute with the Trakmaster and saw our V8 ute so he figured it must be me. Going to catch up later and have a whinge about the V8. Will probably do a photo opportunity tomorrow outside the Birdsville Bakery because Dusty Miller (the Baker) got his V8 ute yesterday.

As a kid just not long arrived in WA (1965) from England they seemed like the explorers of old. The old Leyland brothers movies did all the rounds of the town halls and their exploits were magical. Although looking back the filming and dialogue was pretty crap, but in their day they were great.

Another movie that I'd like to re see was called "Across the Top" no idea who did it but I have lasting memories of the Aboriginal initiation ceremonies (Ouch!!!!!!!!!!).

Also whatever happened to Alvi Mangles??????? Ah that chamois bikini's.

I remember my dad taking us kids to Box Hill town hall to see the 1966 doco. I reckon that had a lot to do with starting my obsession with travelliing OZ. Thanks Leyland brothers!!!
