Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan has reached an agreement with tax authorities in Australia allowing him to return to his home in the US.

The 70-year-old had previously been barred from leaving Australia over an unpaid multi-million dollar tax bill.

His lawyer said a deal had been reached following a "cordial and co-operative" meeting with tax officials.

Hogan was served an Australian Taxation Office order last month after returning to Sydney for his mother's funeral.
