i guess we reaaly should offer up some stingray advice :cry:

hot waters the best thing i know to stop the pain :?: other than that :arrow:

i prefer cut the flaps and burry them in coals too eat :x

nah.....there ok...but prefer a flaty or bream any day :idea:

story i hear is he swam over it ( stingray) it freaked, bolted, than double back and got him :cry:

that kinda is standard stingray....i was always told if u scare them they will bolt then come back at u :shock: i've had it happen heaps

sooooo if u in the surf or pumpin nippers....u know wat expect :idea:

it really sad.....i kinda feel his daughter going grow up b just like him :)

while initially i found his style grating, his enthusiasm, keenness, go for it nature and love of all things Oz should be an inspiration to us all..

RIP the khaki crikey king


PS i found his conservation tips to be A1, particularly those on feral cats!

I must say that at least he went doing something he loved. Better than getting smoked by a car crossing the road. The only better way for him would to have been wacked by a croc!

RIP Steve Irwin

Wrestling a Stingray aye,
Just shows you should stick to what you know.

Sure its a tragic loss of income for tourism, a family and TV, but it was a long time coming, he wrestled crocodiles!

Sad, sad day.
