Call me Alf
Alf was born 6.3.1917 in Proserpine to George Samuel Casey & Eliza Edith Chalk.
Alf was given 3 crocodile eggs in 1963, with 1 hatching, it was named Charlie but later it was found out it was a female, Charlene.
Charlene was treated as a member of the family, watching TV with the family & went on regular road trips, visiting every pub from Rockhampton to Cairns. As Charlene grew it was necessary to house her outside in a large enclosure. In 1986 a feeding mishap saw Alf lose a hand & part of his arm.
