I don't know about that. Like the first Crocodile Dundee film was popular here but similar to Steve Irwin the entire concept was designed to grab the attention of Americans, not Australians. It's mainly Americans who consider the character a "national hero of Australia" because it plays on all the stereotypes about Australia that they genuinely think are real.
