who was the first TV explorer?

I think the question was Australian Explorer. Sorry, David Attenborough does'nt qualify. Love his shows though :)

Begs the question Doing What? :)

I can guess what because she was some assistant but it was much later than 1962 :)))))))

Belinda Green I believe her name was

Spot on Geoff, If my memory serves me she was the model on Sale of the Century in the early days.
Didn't Alby nearly kill her in a car accident in Africa? Much later that 1962.

yes, thats her and she actually flew home after a while in an African hell hole of a hospital, it was later than 1962 but back then ol Alby was travelling with dogs, actual canines I mean not well ummm yannow what I mean.

After she left he picked up two ( yes two ) other pink breasted seat warmers and travelled more of AFrica and a short sea trip on a Alby-built raft with one of aforementioned warmers. The other one woke up to herself earlier and ditched the bleep .

what has happened to Alby, his dog Sam had more personality than him...

yes Lyn and a bigger .... part in the shows

Alby was discredited fairly recently as setting up most of the adventures (first of the reality shows) as all the cool stuff that happened to him was not captured (huge accident wiping out BG and dog getting poisoned) but you know what? I dont care if he can pull new seat warmers off the beach before BG absence has allowed the seat to get cold he gets my total respect especially when i failed miserably to get a 5 foot 10 perfectly tanned blond german seat warmer into my camper for a gibb river trip to darwin while in broome-----------------------It aint as easy as you think!?!?!

Probably because you were too busy stuffing around with that radio under the seat :))))))

I have never found it a problem Davoe hahahaha

And yes he was discredited, but so were Mike and Mal on their "FIRST" crossing of the Simpson. To my knowledge Alby was last known to be putting together a proposal for a grant to study the travels of the Contiki Balsa raft. His bid failed when they discivered that not only was balsa light on but Alby's cash management was too. He faded from public life and died when a duck fell on him at an army disposal reclamation centre.

davoe, you probably needed Sam, apparently according to bonz he had better credentials..lol

Your kidding Alby dead!!!! I'm bleep tered he was my hero.
Killed by a duck no less!! I'm sure your talking about one of those big green monsters with the wheels and propeller thingy and not a poor old feathered variety.
Although it would be quite poetic if it was a real bird that did him in.

There may be a kink in the duck story although the Sam revelation above is quite true.

Alby is alive and living at this site but you cant see his bleep

the Girl in question was only recently on the box discussing her travels with Alby and the Chamois Bikini got a very pleasant airing.....

JUDY Green her name was, and she did fill out that chamios luvverly

i would have liked to have seen sam in chamois

I like on the web site how it says that the book is waiting for a suitable publisher

could it be that one one is will to print his BS

Just a tip for devios Dirtbags like me. Stick your head into Backpackers and check out the notice boards. there is NO shortage of single women from wherever looking for rides. if you have no particulat destination you could hold auditions.
Me? i didnt even get to the stage where i showed her the double bed in the camper:(
