Rodney William Ansell (1953 4 August 1999) was an Australian from "the bush" who became the inspiration for Paul Hogan's character in the 1986 movie Crocodile Dundee. He was killed in a shootout with police. Ansell became famous in 1977 after he became stranded in extremely remote country in the Northern Territory, and the story of his survival for two months with limited resources became headlines. Ansell was on a fishing trip near the Victoria River mouth with only his two cattle dogs when his boat was capsized and sunk, possibly by a whale (more likely a crocodile). He managed to board his boat's tender, a small dinghy with only a single oar, and retrieve his dogs and a small amount of equipment (including his rifle, knives and bedding) but had no fresh water.
