Sedalia Dave Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Watched Season 1. Very well done and very informative. Did notice that so far he hasn't talked about any animals to avoid except for Salt Water Crocs. Wish I had a job like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Crimes Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 He was an Army Major and made our edible maps (a map of an area with bush tucker notes on the back and areas you could find the food added to the front page representations). I met him in Darwin in the 80's and he was just like he is on TV. There is a very early series made when he was still an Officer and he wears his version of our early green uniform with his rank slides on it.

Appears double action maybe a S&W? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim dark thoughts are that it was a 44 mag but that may be mixed memories between him and Clint Our service pistol at the time was the Browning 9mm mk1, but it definitely wasn't that.
