I just watched one of the most moving tributes I have ever seen - to Steve Irwin. I feel like a real idiot I hope you all get to hear the poem "The crocodiles are crying" - says it all.
Like, I suspect, a lot of Aussies; I had no idea of his contribution to World conservation. He was clearly, much better known outside of Oz, and because we have no young children, there was no one to push us to watch him.
His "crikey" signature was (to many of us), just an Aussie cringe term and his "country" style a little "too" much.
So, if you're looking down, Steve...
Please accept my heartfelt apologies. I should have taken the time to understand what you stood for; what you did; and the difference you have made to the World.
It sure looks like your little girl has grabbed the torch
