The goggled demon at the wheel is heading straight for a towering thatch of young gum trees, and he has got the accelerator soldered to the floor with his bare foot. There’s no windshield on the speeding wreck—no roof or doors, for that matter—and the constant whorl of dust is blinding. But the madman smashes through the trees, unleashing a shower of unhappy green ants who bite viciously through his fatigues. Oblivious, he careens through a dried riverbed, scales its four- foot perpendicular bank, resumes the race on open plain and closes in on his lumbering quarry: a 9.

With a nudge from the Toyota’s bull bar—a specially rigged fender—the beast’s hind legs buckle and it drops. Throwing on the brake, Rod Ansell, about 5’8″ and pushing 1.

In fact, Rod, 3. 3, doesn’t care for beer, mobs or shoes. Last time he put on a pair was before boarding a plane. The ticket taker “said something about germs,” Rod recalls. I said I bet the bottom of my feet were a lot cleaner than the bottom of his shoes—I watch where I walk. He said, ‘Right, mate, probably are.’ ” Rod wore thongs up the ramp, then chucked them. So what does this Daniel Boone from Down Under have in common with the star of “Crocodile “Dundee? Superficially, both are handsome, blond, blue- eyed samplings of male Australiana who tend to fib about their height: Hogan gets measured with his boots on, and Ansell lays claim to an inch or two that aren’t rightfully his.

Other than that, they’re as disparate as the Polo Lounge and the pub at Humpty Doo—a roadside attraction on the three- hour drive from Darwin to Rod’s. But compare Rod to Hogan’s “Croc” character, and there are more similarities. In 1. 97. 7 Ansell was stranded for two months on a deserted stretch of river in the Northern Territory. After his rescue, word of his wily survival—we’ll get to that later—spread.

He re- enacted the misadventure for a 1. TV, and he co- wrote a book, To Fight the Wild. In 1. 98. 0 TV host Michael Parkinson invited Rod to Sydney to chat about his episode on his “talk- back show.”When “Crocodile” Dundee came out six years later, “people started ringing me up and saying they saw all these similarities between my experience and the movie,” Rod says. Ringing up? Not exactly, He and his wife, Joanne, also 3. Callum, 8, and Shaun, 6, live on a rustic homestead called Melaleuca about 1. They communicate by radio. Still, they went to check out the film.

An excellent movie, hey?” Rod says. Good fun. But it was so obvious where he got his material from.” Not that Rod cared—until early last year.

That’s when he and Dominick Macan, an adventure- tour planner Ansell picked up hitchhiking in the Territory in ’8. Macan, who works with Ocean Voyages in Sausalito, Calif., thought Rod’s setting would make a good vacation spot. Convinced, Rod made a call to Hogan’s office in Sydney to ask permission to bill himself as the “real Crocodile Dundee” in his promotional brochures. Rod got back a letter from Hogan’s partner, John Cornell. Sorry mate,” it read in part, “but you cannot use ‘Crocodile Dundee’ in any advertising either in Australia or the U. S. A. Lawyers from Paramount and Rimfire Films [Hogan’s company] would descend on you from a great height.”“I really can’t understand their position,” says Rod.

I explained very carefully that I was willing to sign a piece of paper saying I had no rights to royalties. All I want is the right to say what they’ve already said: that Hoges got the idea from myself. It could really help my little thing here.” In an early radio interview, Rod claims, Hogan cited the Parkinson interview as the spark that fired his Dundee creation. No transcript of the radio show exists, but newspaper interviews with Cornell and Ken Shadie, the balance of the Dundee script- writing team, made the connection for posterity. In July of ’8. 6 Shadie told a reporter that having seen Rod on TV, Hogan “thought this was the ideal character for [himself].” Memories of Rod have since faded in movieland. All I can say is the story came from Paul Hogan,” Shadie says now.

The idea for ‘Crocodile’ Dundee came from Paul Hogan’s head,” says a spokesman for Cornell. Rod was disappointed but undaunted. His brochure, written by Macan, cites him as the “bushman superstar” who inspired the movie “Crocodile” Dundee. What if Paramount should make good on Cornell’s threat? Well, I guess they’d win, wouldn’t they?” shrugs Ansell. They’ve got more money, hey?” Wife Joanne, a soft- spoken Melbourne native, stands firmer. I think Hogan’s being really bad mannered,” she says.

Let him try whatever he likes. We’ll stand up and knock him back down again.”Whether Rod’s story is filmlore, folklore or remarkable fact, it’s a yarn worth spinning.

In May 1. 97. 7, after a cattle- catching job in Kununurra, Western Australia, Rod decided to take a fishing trip. He entered the Victoria River with an 1. As an idyllic first day drew to a close, a large croc capsized his boat, sending him careening into the current, along with his dogs and provisions. The main boat was lost, but the dogs and dinghy survived, as did Rod’s swag (a grungy canvas bedroll), rifle, knife, a can of powdered milk, another of peas and a box of wet matches. After a night of drifting out to sea, he washed up on an island off the shore of the Fitzmaurice River, north of the Victoria.

Then his real adventures began. It took two days to find fresh water upriver.

When excruciating heat depleted his body’s salt supplies, he says he shot a wild cow and sucked blood from its neck before curing the meat. When he craved sugar, he captured tiny bees hovering over his dogs’ water tin and, webbing a strand of cotton from his shirt around their legs, followed the flying string to their hive and honey. Savvy about the wiles of crocodiles, he was careful to change his habits daily to prevent their snacking on his dogs when he was away hunting. Finally, after seven weeks, Rod heard horse- bells tinkling and was rescued by two aborigines and a white man gone walkabout from a reserve 1. Even in the rough- and- tumble world of the Outback, Rod’s ordeal made big news. In some eyes he was a hero.

In others he was an elaborate storyteller. I’ve been lost in the bush but never been tempted to drink cow’s blood,” sniffs one old- timer. That’s going too far.” Others wondered just what Rod was fishing for in crocodile country—poaching is punishable by a $2,0. But for the Aussie TV audience, this wry- humored anachronism who gave cattle- tossing tips and claimed to be an honorary aborigine was a charming glimpse of a culture gone by.

For Rod, who flew to Sydney for the show, urban customs were no less exotic.“I had been living in a rough camp,” he recalls, “and Parkinson’s people picked me up at a mission airstrip and dumped me at the Sebel Town House in Sydney—the flashiest place they could find.” (The hotel is the city’s answer to the Plaza, where the movie Croc stayed in New York.) Still, Rod adapted to the show’s limo (another Croc scenario). He befriended the driver and directed him to Toyota dealerships to find a differential for Rod’s “motorcar.” The next day, the maid found the differential next to his swag—which lay on the floor next to the bed. Sound familiar, Crocsters?) “She cleaned around it,” deadpans Rod. These days, Rod makes do back at Melaleuca. Buffalo catching, his main line of work, is a backbreaker.
