It appears we have lost our original Crocodile Hunter and conservationist extraordinaire. :'(

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways ~
Beer in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO - What a Ride!

A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way, that you look forward to the journey.

What a sad day.  It has been through guys like Malcolm Douglas that we have been inspired to go and see the places they brought to public awareness.  RIP ol' fella!

A sad day indeed, he was able to beat the elements and overcome cancer to be taken in an accident, his loss will be felt by many both man and animal alike.

May he rest in peace and his legacy live on.

Totally agree, I grew up watching his doco's. Not the way I imagined him leaving this world, but thats the way it is

RIP

yep not good news. I remember watching Mal on telly, he was one of the pioneers of Australian Doco's.

I guess the thing that can be said about Mal is he didnt die wondering, he took life full on.


Cheers Pauly

My favourite Bushy is gone,
But in my heart he will live on!
He let me dream about the good life,
He showed me how to get out of strife.
He gave me advice on how to cook,
He did it on screen, not in some book.
He was and will always be,
Brilliant and Barefoot in the Bush!

Gonna miss those cooking lessons, Boondi, and the exploration of my favourite part of the world, The Kimberleys.

Rest In Peace Malcolm ...
