Bush Tucker Man
The Bush Tucker Man is the television name of one Les Hiddins. A native Australian, Les has entered the popular consciousness through his TV series "The Bush Tucker Man".
Les was born and bred in Queensland, Australia. He spent a considerable amount of time in the outback as a child. Later he joined the Australian Army as a private in 1966. Retiring from regular service at the rank of Major in 1989, Les has gone on to become a renowned broadcaster, educator, writer, historian, war veteran (he did 3 tours in Vietnam) and all round top Aussie bloke.
