Very sad...I mentioned in another controversial thread not that long ago about Malcolm and living up the end of the street and how we played with his kids and went to his house...he wasn't around much when we were kids, always walkabout and filming...lol
But a fond memory I have was he used to show his "home movies" up at our school on occasion for us kids, as we had a small community and school, which his kids obviously attended....
He was a fair dinkum Aussie alright..RIP Malcolm.

What a horrible shock RIP to a great man and the way he bought the outback to so many homes he will be sadly missed

He was my childhood hero, I used to watch his docos over and over again in the late 70s - early 80s. His shows combined my three loves, Fishing, Fauna and Australia. He had a massive impact on my life and will never be forgotton.

he wont be forgotton, R.I.P malcolm

He was 69....and I guess to a 25 yr old, that is old, but trust me..... 69 is NOT OLD in the grand scheme of things. He had plenty of good years ahead of him if it hadn't been for this horrific accident.

Very sad, i loved his docco's, and for some reason the unusual music that played on them.

unusual music played is jazz clarinet by don burrows- i think he did every doco malcolm did, Quite a famous(relativly speaking) australian musician and composer.

 

[Carney]

awful news only just heard. he will be missed rip

 

[crocmick]

Very sad our condolences go out to all of his family and friends.We was a great bloke and what I liked about him that he was out there and spoke his mind.
R.I.P mate -Crocodile Mick!
