As a visitor to Harry's home, you may feel like you have stepped into some other time dimension or dropped into some alien universe.



Truth be known, this may have been the experience Harry was trying to create.

Crocodile Harry's \ home has been used on film sets in famous movies like Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

Originally from Latvia, Harry spent over 13 years in the north of Australia hunting crocodiles. He then decided to try his luck looking for opals and mining in Coober Pedy.



Whilst here, he set about making his art into his home and words really cannot begin to describe how bizarre and unique his art is.



Is it worth the visit?
Absolutely, 
If you love things that are eccentric, bizarre and something amazing created from nothing, you will love it.
