Just outside Coober Pedy is the dugout that was occupied by "Crocodile Harry", an interesting character. He died a few years ago, and the dugout is now open to the public. It is said that he was given an item of underwear by every woman who shared his bed, and the place is certainly festooned with them. * |

Harry also had his own idea about toilet design. * |
