So I have been hearing mixed views on the death of Steve Irwin the infamous crocodile hunter. For some, it was an accident waiting to happen for a reckless adrenalin junkie who was just in it for the cash and for others it was a tragic accident that robbed the world of a dedicated Australian naturalist and wildlife expert.
To be honest I liked the guy and kind of sit in the middle, it was a tragic accident waiting to happen to a dedicated wildlife expert!
Pity there will be no more “danger danger†!!

Great blog on angling in what looks to be a great area.
Gotta agree about Steve Irwin - nice bloke, very influential and a good presenter but it was almost inevitable that one of these presenters is injured or dies in their job.
Like you say - a tragic accident waiting to happen to a dedicated wildlife expert!

This was very sad. The reason that I thought that it was sad was because even with all the bravado Steve Irwin just was excited about animals and life. He left a wife and two kids and I felt that he really did make a difference, especially to kids about the dangers and interesting things about animals.
