Re: Crikey!! (Steve Irwin)

I used to Live about 3 kms away from Australia Zoo and had the good fortune to meet Steve several times in person, prior to his getting famous and again after... he never changed, all the things you have seen him do on TV, he has been doing for half his life in reality, so he didnt just do these dangerous stunts in the name of entertainment, he just did what he thought best for the animals in question. He was exactly what he appeared to be. Its true he did get popular in the USA first, and it took Aussies a while to really warm to him, but Id say that he was quite a bit more popular here in Aus than some folks realise.. in my town, cars were pulling off the road when the news flash came on the radio, they were so shocked they had to stop to try to take it in.
