I am in shock!!!

I know that he harassed the animals but he didn't deserve to die.

How do you get stung in the chest anyhow?

I've been watching Steve for years, this is a really sad thing. As much as one might want to critise the bloke, he put all of his body and soul into evert thing he did.

I remember Don and I got an email from someone that had seen Steve surfing (in his kakhi's) at G Land and apparently he charged.. no fear.

He is a big loss.

I was living in eastern Canada back in the 90's, when a bunch of Canadian friends of mine started giving me a hard time about looking like some Crocodile Hunter bloke. I started watching him on tele and I don't think you could get a better slice of real australia - he rocked. Even the love him, hate him ethos of the Australian public cements that claim... he'll be missed - but will undoubtably live on through cable TV.

Peace out Steve.

Strength to his family in this difficult time .
