'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin killed
I'm not a watcher of wildlife documentaries but they are much watched in Gert Cottage, and one could hardly not be aware of Steve Irwin.
It's hardly a surprise that he was killed doing what he was famous for doing, but 44 is no age to die. I just think the world will be a poorer place for his going but a richer place for him having lived.
He stopped Australian Government plans to allow rich tourists into the Northern Territory to kill crocodiles for sport. He brought the beauty of nature back to millions through his documentaries. And he showed that if you love doing something, then you should put all your passion into doing it.
