I consider the Irwins the royal family of Australia. Steve was born in 1962, married Oregon gal Terri Raines, and they had two children, Bindi born in 1998, and Robert, aka Bob Bob, born in 2003. Steve became known as ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ and his exploits are legendary. His love of nature and conservation was what won the heart of Terri and Aussies alike. His dad, Robert snr. actually started the zoo which is located in the Sunshine Coast of Queensland in 1979. Steve tragically died at the age of 44 yrs whilst doing what he loved best, filming wildlife on the Batt Reef off the coast of North Queensland. He was speared several times by a giant stingray the barb piercing his heart. Terri, Bindi and Bob Bob hold no grudges against these giants and continue to operate Australia Zoo in honour of Steve. YouTube has Steve’s tv series … many of … and they are seriously educational. Interestingly, Terri has not dated anyone since Steve’s passing and she is one attractive lady so it says something about “true love” … jus sayin! Thanks for takin a peek my friends. ;D
