One of Mick Dundee’s most unusual accessories? This rugged leather-plaited necklace, strung with three crocodile teeth.

Costume designer Marion Boyce nailed the detail – this piece instantly evokes Dundee’s croc-wrestling days and reminds us that, even in the heart of America, he’s still most at home in the bush.
