Steve Irwin Day

It has been over a year since his tragic accident and today is the first Steve Irwin Day in his remembrance. It's a day to celebrate his life and support the causes he stood for.

Prime Minister John Howard paid tribute to Irwin in a pre-recorded video message at the zoo's Crocoseum, saying the Crocodile Hunter had left an "indelible mark" on Australia.

"We all miss Steve," Mr Howard said.

"He was a larger-than-life individual who gave all of us a special and new way of thinking about the environment and all creatures great and small."

Steve Irwin - Crocodile Hunter at Australia Zoo. After showing one of Caroline's favourite animals, I think it is only fair to show one of mine. The Crocodile, in this case a saltie. Who better to show you then the late Steve Irwin in his beloved Crocoseum. A place Caroline and I visited seperately just before and just after we met in Brisbane Australia. www.australiazoo.com.au
