Steve Irwin Tribute STEVE IRWIN REMEMBERED AT AFI AWARDS IN MELBOURNE ON THURSDAY NIGHT 7 DECEMBER 2006.Our heroic 44 year old Steve Irwin, Croc. Hunter, on Monday 4 September 2006, has died, after being struck by a stingray, who stabbed Steve in the heart with an automatic reflex flick, of its tail, just off Port Douglas in Queensland, while filming the majestic creatures. Steve then collapsed and died after taking the barb out. I hope everything he has fought so hard for comes to fruition, and those that have, remain maintained, so all his hard work wasn't in vain, amongst them, trying to stop the croc. trophy hunting. Steve's passion and fight did not stop with the reptiles, it indeed extended to our lovable, furry kangaroos, our Australian icon, and thus, he also funded Pat O'Brien from Wildlife Protection Assoc of Australia Inc. to fly to Canberra from Queensland, to try and stop the kangaroo commercial cull in Googong Dam, that commenced on Sunday night, 11 July 2004. Sadly, unfortunately Steve Irwin and Pat O'Brien failed in their mission. Steve Irwin was laid to rest, in a private ceremony on the Sunshine Coast, on Sunday 10 September 2006. Steve Irwin was again laid to rest, in a state funeral, on the Sunshine Coast on his Croc. Farm, on Wednesday 20 September 2006, with millions of mourners across the country and the world.The Wildlife Carers Group Inc. will certainly endeavour to assist his dreams and wishes are fulfilled.
