Talk:Leyland brothers

ACOTF
Well, so it's made it past the post. Anyone got any suggestions on how to actually improve this article?I do think we should attempt to have a summary bio of both Wal and Mal. If anyone live at all near their Big Rock on the highway north (I only remember it being between Newcastle and Port Macquarie!) a photo would be nice.

I got ASK THE LEYLAND BROTHERS

9 Network / x 25m-e / 1976-80 and 1983-84

Producers: Mike and Mal Leyland

Brothers Mal and Mike Leyland travel across Australia visiting places requested by the viewing audience. The team switched briefly to 7 for a time during the early 1980's for the show called The Leyland Brother's Great Outdoors. from MemorableTV but that's no improvement on what we already have.

George Negus has transcript here from his George Negus Tonight show of 8 September2003. That he featured them on a show does help our claims that they were notable when they were active. Anyone got a copy of "My Life as a Leyland Brother" by Mike Leyland? Apparently Liverpool council library have a copy.

The Leyland brothers car was included in a display Great Journeys relived at the National Motor Museum, South Australia.

Mal and his wife Laraine apparenly were doing commercial documentaries in October 2003 for Spirit of Tasmania. So that can lend some semi-current coverage of their activity.Garrie 21:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * A map of the many places they visited and / or routes travelled would be great. I'm no map maker though sadly. We could possibly also expand on their Australian East to West Crossing by 4WD vehicle in 1966. The expedition took 111 days to complete. In all, 6797 kilometres (4248 miles) were traversed including 800 kilometres (480 miles) of Queensland mud. (taken from http://www.coopertires.com.au/news/mike_leyland.htm). I'm off to the library shortly to see what it holds. -- Longhair\talk 03:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

We need to do a list of the TV shows in a proper wiki TV episode table. I'll see if I can start something off in the next few days. TheBustopher (talk) 14:07, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Cock Rock
The most famous "Ask the Leylands" segment was one about Cock Rock. We need to write this one up as it's just the BEST story, and the style of Mike and Mal means they can do a story about a penis-shaped rock and get away with it in that dead-pan style!

Anyone want to add their 2c worth??

Leyland Brothers World
The place where Leyland Brothers World used to be is now known as The Great Aussie Bush Camp. Just a fact if valid, to put into the article. 114.77.223.5 (talk) 03:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Errata
I remember one episode exploring tropical rainforest scrub pockets in the Kimberley region of WA they filmed Neophema splendida (Scarlet-chested Parrot) but mistook it for a local form of Trichoglossus haematodus (Rainbow Lorikeet). 210.50.143.22 (talk) 09:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC) Ian Ison
