On Saturday, 27 January 1945, Harris swam in the main race of the day at a swimming competition held to raise funds for the Bassendean Child Development Centre. He came a close second in the featured handicap race, the "Swim through Bassendean". Swimming from scratch, he swam the fastest time ( Swimming Picnic, The West Australian, (Monday, 29 January 1945), p.2.) His shows were considered odd in the 1950s because they combined jokes, interviews, paintings, songs and numerous appearances with children. Despite attempts by the BBC to vary the material, Harris insisted on keeping his shows as he wanted them and they remained almost unchanged for the next two decades.

Part of Harris’s appeal was his unfailing enthusiasm and the air of naivety that pervaded his appearances. In 1973 he agreed to tour South Africa with his show, but it was cancelled when Harris discovered he would be playing to all-white audiences. In 1983 Harris agreed to make an appearance at the Hookers’ Charity Ball in Sydney. On arrival Harris was surprised to discover that the event had been organised, not by TJ Hooker, a noted firm of estate agents, but by the local prostitutes’ collective. After his early successes as a children’s performer, Harris achieved much wider fame on television in the late 1960s with The Rolf Harris Show on Saturday nights, a prime-time fixture from 1967 until 1971. As well as songs, guest artistes and a specially created glamorous dance team called the Young Generation, Harris would introduce his weekly pièce de résistance, a gigantic painting in household emulsion to illustrate one of his novelty songs.

He then met his longtime hero, Australian impressionist painter Hayward Veal (1913–1968), who became his mentor, teaching him the rudiments of impressionism and showing him how it could help with his portrait painting. [26] At the time that he was working with Veal, Harris was also entertaining with his piano accordion every Thursday night at a club called the Down Under, frequented by Australians and New Zealanders. At the Down Under venue Harris honed his entertainment skills over several years, eventually writing what later became his theme song, " Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport".
