"In 1976, Harry Butler, a weather-beaten bushman in a disreputable hat, strolled onto Australian television screens with In The Wild and produced creatures that most Australians had never heard of, let alone seen alive and wriggling, from under every rock and out of every bush hole.
He was the real thing too, a man who'd grown up in the wilds of Western Australia, was one of the country's first professional naturalists, and he wanted to bring his love of the outback into living rooms." Obituary: Harry Butler - https://www.smh.com.au/national/obitu...
