Description
Crocodile (Old Charlie), Yarrawonga Park with another crocodile, Yarrawonga Road, Yarrawonga. Old Charlie was 12 feet (Four metres) long and estimated to have been around fifty years of age in the early 1980s. It was also called "Jedda" after the movie "Jedda" in which it was filmed in 1955. The croc was owned by "Doc McKenzie" who was curator of the Botanical Gardens in the 1960s. For a period, along with a buffalo calf and an emu, the croc was penned at the Gardens before being moved to Yarrawonga Zoo around 1965. It lost most of it's teeth from nutritional problems and it's growth was stunted due to being kept in small enclosures.,
