An outstanding man that had a huge knowledge for the Australian bush, bush tucker, Native wildlife and was respected by the Aboriginal Lands he walked upon by the mobs 🫶🏽

Loved watching his Shows 🙌🔥
Major Les Hiddins, born Leslie James Hiddins in Brisbane in 1946, became one of Australia’s most respected bushcraft experts through his extraordinary combination of military experience, survival knowledge and deep appreciation for the Australian landscape. A retired Australian Army major and Vietnam veteran, Hiddins completed two tours of duty in Vietnam between 1966 and 1968, serving initially as a forward scout in the infantry before transferring to army aviation. His work flying helicopters across remote northern Australia sparked a lifelong fascination with survival in the harsh outback environment. During these years, he learned extensively from Indigenous Australians, particularly in Arnhem Land and Cape York, gaining invaluable knowledge about native plants, bush medicine and traditional food sources that had sustained Aboriginal communities for thousands of years.

Hiddins later became widely known across the country as “The Bush Tucker Man” through the hugely popular ABC television series that aired from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Travelling across deserts, rainforests, coastlines and remote wilderness areas in his trademark slouch hat and Land Rover, he introduced Australians to the remarkable variety of edible plants, animals and survival techniques found in the bush. His calm manner, dry humour and genuine passion for the land made the programme both educational and deeply entertaining. Unlike many television personalities, Hiddins earned admiration through practical expertise rather than performance, and viewers appreciated the authenticity he brought to every episode.

Beyond television, Hiddins made lasting contributions to Australian survival research and education. In 1987, he received a Defence Fellowship to research survival techniques in northern Australia and became the principal author of the Australian Army’s survival manual. The same year, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his service to the military in the field of combat survival. He also authored numerous books on bush tucker, exploration and Australian history, helping preserve traditional knowledge for future generations. Even in later life, Hiddins has remained passionate about educating Australians about the natural environment, continuing to share his knowledge through books, interviews and digital projects devoted to the unique resources of the Australian bush.

From the 3 nations that claim this land we recognise your journey and the history that it holds from truth telling, healing and progression of unity for a better future for those 3 clans sharing culture. We say the strongest words are unity, but with our own culture and Australia we lack the strength of yet unity of walking together 🫶🏽❤️💛🖤.

National Sorry day 2026

Hopefully one day we will have unity and balance 🫶🏽

Today we remember. We honour. We commit.

On National Sorry Day, we pause to reflect on the strength and resilience of the Stolen Generations and acknowledge the ongoing challenges faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities.

While apologies recognise past wrongs, meaningful change requires ongoing, concrete action.

Apologies must be accompanied by sustained efforts to address imbalance - words translated into tangible improvements in the lives of First Nations peoples.

◾Over-Representation in Child Protection: As of September 2025, 4.5% of First Nations children were on care and protection orders, unchanged from the same time last year. In contrast, the rate for non-Indigenous children declined from 0.5 to 0.4% during this period. (DCJ)

◾Family Violence: In 2023-24, Indigenous women aged 15 and over were 27 times more likely to be hospitalised due to family violence than non-Indigenous women. (AIHW)

◾Child Safety Concerns: Indigenous children are over-represented in areas where child safety and security are compromised, experiencing higher rates of hospitalisations and deaths due to injury compared to their non-Indigenous peers.

These figures underscore the necessity for systemic reforms and community-led initiatives.

For Aboriginal children and young people, sorry means listening, and action toward systemic change.

ANZAC Day is a time to remember those who served — but do you know the full story?
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people fought for Australia in every major conflict, often while facing discrimination at home.
