[edit] 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 September 2003. 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)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
