I'd never heard of him until he was on the news for being on the news in the USA.

He's been famous dead here longer than he was famous alive, if that makes sense. A national embarrassment.

Well, I like his general promotion of conservation and the fact that he used his revenue to buy huge tracts of land so that they could stay undeveloped, as wildlife sanctuaries. I like that.

I was a bit of an amateur herpetologist back in the day, when I was doing my biology undergrad, and I was always a little bewildered as to his methods. I always thought that some of the handling he did was more stressful to the animals than a tranquilizer dart or something might have been, but then I wasn't a respected owner of a zoo and he was. Still, I wonder how much the element of surprise figured into how he got by so often without being bitten.

Goes to show that it only takes one time to do you in, I guess.

Some sort of loophole must allow them to log/mine/destroy it irregardless, because apparently 'they' are still threatening it. Either that or it's a different loophole that allows the family to keep begging for money to save a place that is already supposed to be saved.

Seriously, I only watch the news after work but I still get bombarded with this ad at least fifteen times a night.

This might sound a bit culturally insensitive, but was he playing up his "australian-ness" for the Americans? Because I think that's what Paul Hogan did. The US concept of Australia is a little cartoonish and over-the-top.

We have a pseudo-Australian steakhouse chain here and I've read that the cooking is actually cajun and has very little to do with Australia. That doesn't stop them from printing up the menus with Aboriginal art and kangaroos, though. Usually, there is also a reference to a barbie and what you can throw on it.

Of course, Japan has been doing that with US culture for years.

Yes. The UK does the same thing. I find it annoying.
