it was this day in 2006 that the late great Steve Irwin died 
he was such a great ambassador for reptiles and herpetology, and so very enthusiastic about them, particularly Australia's native species.
Blessed Be Steve |

Its a day late but R.I.P Steve God,I'm filling up! 
What a fantastic bloke he was. His enthusiasm and love for animals was contagious. He opened up peoples eyes to so many wonders and the plight of so many animals. I have some of his Dvd's and both the kids and I love watching them.  |

My one regret in life so far is that I did not take the chance to go see him.
Truly inspirational! |
