As seen on Australian TV in the 1970's & 80's
Mike and Mal introduce the series and invite viewers to write in with suggestions for the series. Hundreds of letters received by the Leylands ask about travelling around Australia. A detailed look at how to prepare your vehicle and what to carry and not carry on a round Australia trip is presented. This segment also covers special fitments which are useful for such vehicles. An example of the type of subjects expected to be covered in the series is given by a look at some fascinating sculptures made by William Ricketts at Pitchi Ritchi in Alice Springs. A look at a mountain in NSW which was once thought to be an active volcano.

  • I love how the opening sequence of the show is basically a wet t-shirt contest mixed with shots of the outback. These blokes knew how to attract an audience in 1970s Australia.

As a kid in the 80's I remember the intro song (of course, sticks in your head) and I remember specifically the shot through the side window of the van looking at the passenger and driver, and the vague idea that there were shots of Australia. Maybe I was too young to care about boobies??
