Used to look forward to his show each week.
A real conservationist!
His passing didn't seem to make the national news, even though he was Australian of the year 1979, OAM, and a Australian living treasure.

Had a T shirt once, two tiger snakes down a hole. One says to the other [ on the front of the shirt, " there's Harry bloody Butler!", On the back a fierce looking snake says, " WHERE"S HARRY BLOODY BUTLER!! " The holy trinity , Harry bloody Butler, Bush tucker man, Malcom Douglas.

You are right Mick they had it on the news tonight. Very sadly missed.
His son talked about him, that he was at the farm doing work chopping wood mowing the lawns, every strong man.

We've one of his books somewhere signed by him for my old Mum who worked in the Alice many moons ago and met him there. She also went on a round the rock flight with him and others and she reckoned he was an all round nice bloke.
He was advising people on being environmentally aware long before there were hordes of tossers calling themselves "environmental scientists" with little or no real knowledge running around pulling big money for spouting rubbish.
The cook has a rellie who is just that and from what we know has never been anywhere near a uni. :mad:
RIP Harry Butler.
