Video posted to social media showed Henry making it all the way to the entrance of a BP service station, where it is believed he tried to get indoors.

Henry has been a popular tourist attraction for years, with his size and laid-back personality nearly getting him into trouble.

It has been reported in the past that Henry left dents in cars and may have even crushed a motorcycle while on a joy ride around Bellarine.

A Victoria Police spokesperson said that Henry was looked after by Wildlife Victoria who eventually helped the local enigma safely back to the sea.
