I'm in Sydney right now and they've been showing Steve Irwin tributes every night for the past couple of nights now. He was, to quote the locals, a legend.

It is really sad. It's all over the news here in Sydney and the rest of Australia. Most people I talk to are just in shock.

Such a tragic and ironic death, considering stingrays are pretty much harmless and he's been in 'worse' danger before. I've heard on the news here that the barb went right through his chest and he basically died immediately. He has two young kids and it's so sad to see such an advocate for wildlife and nature preservation go so soon.

I was hoping to go see his show at the Australia Zoo too

We actually visited his zoo in Queensland last month. He wasn't there though, the staff said that he rarely does the live shows nowadays because of his schedule but he does visit the zoo once in a while.

Didn't most of the Aussie population dislike him because he perpetuated the stereotype of the Australian bushman?

Funny enough, when I started working here my co-worker asked me if I had thought everybody looked like Steve Irwin before coming to Australia and I said yeah, how come I haven't heard anybody say crikey yet?

To which his reply was "That bloody idiot, he's so annoying, the only thing left for him to do is pull out a vegimite sandwhich from his back pocket on tv."

But seeing how people have reacted these past few days, he seems to be destined to be a national hero.

Too bad he wasn't around to enjoy this great accomplishment.

He really loved his crocodiles didn't he?
