In brief
Burt, the beloved crocodile from the classic 1986 film, has passed away at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, where he resided since 2008. The wildlife centre confirmed his death, stating that Burt was over 90 years old and noted for his unique and bold personality. Burt's character was a favorite amongst visitors, especially during feeding times, and he was recognized for embodying the fierce spirit of saltwater crocodiles.
Burt starred alongside Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski, particularly remembered for a scene where Kozlowski's character comes under threat. Captured in the Northern Territory, Burt's legacy will continue, as he will be commemorated with a dedicated sign at the attraction. As one of the last living connections to a film that remains a cornerstone of Australian cinema, Burt will be missed by many fans around the world.
