Oddly enough, I don't think Captain Kangaroo ever made it to Australian shores 
My dad force-fed me westerns and that was pretty much how I misspent my youth -- The Searchers is probably my favourite and oh, the Duke, what a wonderful man! I love them all, no matter how cheesy, though I always thought John Wayne got horribly ripped off by Jimmy (who I also adore, by the way) in Liberty Valance. And Lee Marvin was amazing wherever he turned up, but the one role I adored him in more than any other was Ben in Paint Your Wagon.
Happy to come across another western tragic!

It could be worse
