G'day, Mate

Steve Irwin, aka "The Crocodile Hunter",
died yesterday doing what he loved best:

Trying to educate people about wildlife in/around Australia.

"This morning, at 11am Australian time, things finally came unglued for the 44-year-old as he was shooting a documentary segment on stingrays. Snorkeling on Batt Reef , a stretch of the Great Barrier Reef about 15km from Port Douglas in North Queensland, Irwin happened to swim over a large ray which, startled, whipped its barbed tail upwards into his chest. He died instantly."

G'day, Steve, thanks for such an interesting and educational public life you've shared with us over the years.
You will be missed, mate.
