    Definitely hotter than yesterday.

    I suspect it would be "air con on in the van" weather.

    I loved Bush Tucker Man! Wasn't he called Les? I used to watch another aussie, Rex Hunt a fisherman. Yibbida yabbada, give it a kiss and throw it back!

    AI Overview

    +3
    "Bush Tucker Man" Les Hiddins is alive, retired, and still exploring remote regions of Australia. Now in his late 70s, he continues to support war veterans through his wilderness retreat, Pandanus Park, and occasionally updates his Bush Tucker Man Website with his extensive digital bush food database.

    Wikipedia
    +4
    Hiddins, who retired from the Australian Army as a Major in 1989, became a beloved cultural icon through his ABC TV series Bush Tucker Man (1988–1996). His deep knowledge of surviving the outback and his iconic modified Akubra slouch hat made him a household name.

    +3
    While he is no longer on television regularly, Hiddins’s legacy is celebrated at the National Museum of Australia, where his original exploration gear is on display. He also remains active online alongside his wife, Sandy, sharing archival photos and engaging with fans.
