Greek Australians in their own image: George Haritos – Crocodile Man

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/Website › Article

Abstract

The need for a sense of adventure has drawn Greeks into both exploring and utilising the commercial potential of Australian waters – one such adventurer was George Haritos. Haritos was not only a successful coastal barge captain, barramundi fisherman and pearler, but also a water-buffalo hunter and crocodile shooter.
