Located outside the United Petroleum station, formerly known as the Bush Shop, on the Arnhem Highway at Humpty Doo. The Boxing Crocodile was built by Ray Park in 1988 on a commission by Ray Whear and Marshall Brentnall who was the owner of The Bush Shop at that time. It was created to celebrate Australia winning the America’s Cup in 1983 and to assist with attracting tourism to the area. The Boxing Crocodile is Humpty Doo’s equivalent to the Boxing Kangaroo.
