Mike Leyland, one half of the famous Australian TV filmmakers and explorers died today after complications from Parkinson's Disease.
He was aged 68.
There is probably not a single Australian who doesn't remember their show
"Ask The Leyland Brothers".
I recall the two brothers visiting our primary school, showing their latest film of travelling in the outback, before they became famous on TV.

I put the Leyland brothers up there with Jack Absalom and Les Hiddins, the Bushtucker Man. The brought our great country to the masses.
RIP
