I was up at both of his Parks 2 years ago, they are a credit to him, he has done such a great job looking after our native animals and promoting conservation of the Kimberly for everyone to enjoy in the future.
There will never be another Malcolm Douglas.
I will post some photos that I have of his Parks up later.

I was shocked when I seen this on TV late this arvo.

The thing that really picced me off was it was late in the NEWS, he deserved front line story after what he has done for Australia.
They had unimportant crap that nobody cares about before they even mentioned his death.

Anyway my rant over

Sad, sad day. I had the pleasure of briefly saying g'day to him and tasting his bush cooking a couple of times at shows in Perth. Also visited his Croc Park in Broome a few years ago. "Aussies Bush Legend"

RIP Malcolm

Wel it might be late, but May his adventures continue in the next phase of life. He in my mind is Australias true Croc Man, nothing against Steve, but I remember being fixed to all his docos, whether it was shown as a one off, or part of The World Around Us series. At least he died on his park, the place he was @ home.

Yeah I'm watching one now (not sure if it's his last one). It was on the other night on Channel 7 and now it's on Channel 7 (two). Really really sad to see such a great bloke gone.His last is when he gets hooked by his lures a couple of times, And hes got his new dog.Pretty sad watching it!!!!!

Yeah mate, this was that one. And you're right, it was pretty sad at times. Especially when he said "One mistake up here and you're dead". That got to me a bit when he said that.Yeh that was a freaky comment , even the look on his face. Last night they had the Gibb river doco he done a few years back. RIP MAL.
