Steve Irwin - killed by a fish. I can't believe it, at the same time it was the only reasonable way for a guy like him to go. However, it was way too soon at only 44 years of age, and my Australia-loving work colleagues and myself have all had a sad day, remembering his shows on Animal Planet and total, yet very entertaining, stupidity most of the time. Steve (as if I was a close friend) was what I believe is the true spirit of Australia, a bit silly, slightly reckless, yet laidback and with a profound love for everything and anything that has a heart and can grow in some way or another. My sister made fun of me six years ago when I applied to go to Australia on high school exchange, and said if I ended up with an accent like his it would be hilarious. Would I only be so honoured.
He was true blue - rest in peace, mate.
