Ride-o lets just pay our respects and condulances to the man and his be loved family, rather than bag the man, or judge him. Personaly the way you people have carried on is disapionting. No one has been a more fairdinkum bloke and as down to earth then Steve Irwin, lets just have alot of respect for the man. If you can't do that than take this thread of air. (Joe)

Be good to the man!

i hope you get over your disappointment in us mob, stocky. personally, i've been disappointed in the way aussies communicate between each other for decades. in the end my judging was immaterial. in the next 2 decades i'm working on seeing the spirit of the d8%khead before me. maybe it is time to just accept the inadequacies of culture & the spoken language. and, stocky, i reckon your life is wonderful in its own right......
 
Thankx for the links 2020hindsight, she really is a lady and must be doing it tough considering the stong bond that those two had AND those magnificent childen they have raised. My CONDULANCES to them all. may the lord have mercy on his soul. For I'm sure he will always be at home with his beutiful family. May they always live on and there ambitions remain successfull. God bless them all for there controbution to earth and socity as we know it. Or as Steve would say;

:eek: CRIKEY, GE WIZ MATE:( ​

Australia Zoo to fight 'environmental vandalism'Article from: AAP

AUSTRALIA Zoo will continue its fight against ''environmental vandalism'' of an eco-sensitive area through bauxite mining, the zoo's director says.

Land Court member Paul Smith yesterday ruled that Cape Alumina could access a portion of the 135,000ha Bertiehaugh Station leased by the family of the late crocodile hunter.

Cape Alumina had sought access to part of the land, known as the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve or Steve's Place, to conduct an environmental impact statement for a bauxite mine.

Cape Alumina already held a mining lease which covered about 15 per cent of the reserve the Irwin family company Silverback Properties purchased after Steve Irwin's death in 2006.

Test drilling in Cape Alumina's Pisolite Hills Project in June revealed a bauxite deposit of more than 100 million tonnes.

Silverback Properties had argued mining on the land should not be allowed because it is home to vulnerable plant and animal species.

But the Land Court ruled in favour of the company and awarded it 75 per cent of costs.

Australia Zoo's Terri Irwin today vowed to continue the legal battle.

"There cannot be any compromise on this," Ms Irwin said in a statement.

"Destroying an ecosystem that has yet to be described is simply wrong." etc

He was a great Australian, probably the greatest ever, such selflessness in pursuit of ecology.

I visited Australia Zoo for the first time last year, it was brilliant. Loved the whole atmosphere. Bindi put her head over a wall of green sunshade and there was a door nearby marked [private' She said 'do you want a photo; so we took a couple of photos of her and then she jumped down and wouldnt' come up again. When we looked around there was her Mum with her little brother giving us all a strange look, she didn't realise that Bindi had been just 'posing' for photos. :)
 
I just can't stand Bindi Irwin. Well, the whole family really.

And hate the whole concept of zoos.
