Steve Irwin




Steve Irwin, better known as The Crocodile Hunter has died in an accident off the Queensland coast. Irwin was filming an underwater documentary when he was impaled by the barb of a stingray. His body is being flown to Cairns.

You can say at least he died doing what he loved, but it's still a damn shame. Australia could stand a few more role models like him. Steve Irwin was the face Australia likes to show the world but in a country becoming ever more cynical, selfish, intolerant and greedy, men and women like him are thin on the ground.

Shocked, but satisfied that a man of such HUGE enthusiasm should die doing what he loved.
Here was a man whom never complained about having to get up and go to work!
One less great Australian. RIP

Crikey!I'm gonna miss steves antics. Never saw anyone have so much fun doing what they do and still making a real contribution to the world around them.

everyone made fun of him and jokes about him dying.

personally i always respected the guy, he loved what he did, he loved his family, and he did it all honest.
