His name is Barry Green, his responsible for the eradication of the Islands feral cat population. Instead of purchasing his products from the eucalyptus distillery, the captain wanted to meet the man himself. He was an American River local and one of the islands true characters. Over a couple of beers at the local footy club a friendship was formed. Barry invited the crew over to his place (Ferals end) the next morning to share a few more stories and look through his amazing collection of skins. He has killed more than 1000 cats since he began, the largest being about 14 kgs. We purchased one of the cat skins and a cat skin stubby holder but it was a gift from Barry that will take pride of place in the skippers pool room (see photos above). I was rather impressed with his recently planted beer tree. On leaving he also gave us a couple of local flathead fillets to enjoy when we reluctantly returned to the mainland.
