Harry Butler RIP

Just saw this on the six o'clock news.

Sad passing of not only a great Western Australian, but someone who was also a living legend. He is also one of the many succesful members of my alma mater (or should I say I of his?)

I remember sitting down to watch his programs on the ABC as a kid.

Thanks for the knowledge you shared and inspiration you have generated.

Cheers

Anthony

Sad News, I used to watch In the Wild, which was one of my favorite programs when I was a kid. A living legend and inspiration gone.

Remember seeing him first in Nature Walkabout with Vincent and Carol Serventy (sp). Was just so inspiring for the outdoors, what a great influence he was, thanks for the memories.

He will be sadly missed... He was still heavily involved in environmental issues, and working as a consultant for Barow Island project.. Seems just about all the environmental and wildlife "heroes" are moving on.. God bless him..

Sad to hear of his passing, but as we all know it's inevitable.

The important thing is he left the World / Australia a better place, and that's all anyone, rich or poor, can ever hope to do.

RIP Harry, an inspiration for many and undoubtedly a force for the better despite some murky times with the mining industry. Will never forget Harry digging out and grabbing the giant mouse spider up north somewhere, and the mistake with the Johnson croc which shredded his hand somewhat.
