“G’day! I’m Mike.”
“G’day! I’m Mal.”
(in unison) ” And we’re the Leyland Brothers!”
Does anyone else remember this show? Or was it just me that was tormented with it throughout my youth…? My Dad used to watch it when I was a kid and I think it was what inspired them to pull up stumps and travel around the country with three small kids in tow. What were they thinking? I find the concept of buggering off to Canberra-Babylon for a week with one Small Child a daunting and potentially painful experience… so what on earth would possess seemingly normal people to pack three small children, a canoe, a tent, a gas fridge, various camping, fishing and sleeping equipment into an old 1975 G60 Nissan Patrol and bugger off to the Territory for like 3 and a half months?
Mad I tell you. I got sent this pic by email (It’s supposed to be ‘the original Australian mud map!) this week and it reminded me of hitting the road way with the family in 1980 🙂
