Malcolm has departed without having the opportunity to offer his gratitude to the people of Australia who have watched and enjoyed Malcolm’s TV shows over more than four decades. For those people I would like to say thank you. Your support made him very proud.
Malcolm was Australia’s most enduring independent TV producer. He had a very long TV career, but he did it not to seek celebrity status and wanted to use his profile to further the causes he believed in.
If I had to describe my father in a single word it would be “authentic”. What you saw is what you got. He was the toughest and bravest man you’d ever meet. He was one of the last true adventurers.
Malcolm’s vision was of the Kimberley protected and given the World Heritage status it deserves, We hope that people all over Australia and the world will help realise this goal. Malcolm did not support the imposition of a LNG processing plant at James Price Point or the compulsory acquisition of land from Indigenous people for this development. Save The Kimberley will mourn the loss of a great champion for the protection of the Kimberley, we pay tribute to adventurer, conservationist, Kimberley legend and Save The Kimberley Director, Malcolm Douglas.
