Crocodile Harry Coober Pedy
Who would of thought !!
Arvids Blumentals known as Crocodile Harry originally from Latvia emigrated to Australia in 1951. Australians found it hard to pronounce his name so he changed it to Harry.
Harry was a crocodile hunter before moving to Coober Pedy to try his hand at opal mining.
He allegedly killed a whopping 10,000 crocodiles over a 13-year period. Harry also caught “smaller” crocodiles — which were up to two metres in length — with only his bare hands.
A notorious personality in the town of Coober Pedy, Harry was well known for both his insane home and for his love of women.
His home was used in the underground scenes of Mad Max-Beyond the Thunderdome.
It has been noted that Harry may have been the prototype to the 1986 Hollywood comedy film “Crocodile Dundee.”
He died in 2006, claiming that he was, in fact, a Latvian baron who had been in hiding since World War II.

Unfortunately Coober Pedy has a no fly zone over most of the town. This drone footage was taken further afield including the Crocodile Nest where the notorious Crocodile Harry lived.
