Steve Irwin ('The Crocodile Hunter') will be missed
Steve Irwin died yesterday from a freak accident with a sting ray. He died doing what he did best, filming a documentary about the deadly creatures of the ocean.
I am sad at his death. He was the best known Aussie and had his own style. He made 'Crikey' a catchphrase and the khaki a fashinable item. He made fierce creatures seem nice and brought conservation into the living rooms of millions of people worldwide.
I am annoyed that I never got a chance to see him in real life. I live less than an hour away from his Australia Zoo, and never in my 5 years here did I make the effort to go see him. It was always on the to do list, but never got done. Should be a lesson in there somewhere... something about never taking things for granted.
