This man was an Australian Icon.
He was tragically killed in a car accident on 23rd September 2010.
He was a great nature lover and fought had for the conservation of large areas of land in the far north of Australia that was under threat from mining.
His documentaries are just wonderful.
We have just finished watching one that he did in the Kimberleys in north west Australia.
I thought to share this wonderful man with you all.
See the link below It is worth reading about this lovely man.
He will be missed by all Australians. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/wa-news/malcolm-douglas-killed-in-car-crash-20100923-15nt7.html
Just read your link Lois. What a sad loss to Australia. It seems he did a great deal for the environment and an was a well known character. Thanks for sharing that.
I can imagine the shock Australians are feeling to have lost such a notable character. I read your link with interest, and the sadness of the loss comes through.
He will be greatly missed..he was way to young to die...also when you think of how much more this wonderful man would have contributed to his beloved Austrailia. It probably was in the news but appreciate that you have let us know.
