Thank you for your commentary and the photos. Here Steve is not well known and nothing of substance has been broadcast, so the material on this thread has been valuable to me.

Fabulous photo! I've just now seen a few video clips of Bindi's speech - just darling! Loved her little headset mike like the "rock stars' own" for the little "croc star"!

Thanks for the ping. Had to catch it at my parent's as we don't have Animal Planet--only basic cable.

I was enjoying all the tributes and laughing at the bloopers and smiling at all the footage of Steve that was shown.

And then Bindi got up on stage and addressed the crowd, and I absolutely lost it. She was amazing.

Hi FRiends,

I'm not sure where to post this, but I thought this would be a good place. A friend of mine is raising money for the Wildlife Warriors Fund by selling memorial decals. She's donating 100% of the profits to the Fund. Here's the site if anyone is interested:

Wasn't sure if it would be readable or not, but at least the little tribute was conveyed. :)

Australia unoffical National Anthem
Lyrics by
A.B. "Banjo" Paterson


Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

....................

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

.....................

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred
Down came the troopers One Two Three
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

......................

Up jumped the swagman sprang in to the billabong
You'll never catch me alive said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Woman fined for cheating Steve Irwin fans

BRISBANE, Australia (UPI) -- A woman and a teenager were charged in Australia with trying to take advantage of admirers of the television 'Crocodile Hunter,' Steve Irwin.

Police said the pair, a 20-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl, were selling stickers to people lined up to get tickets for Irwin`s memorial service, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported. They allegedly claimed they were raising money for 'Wildlife Warriors,' an Irwin family environmental charity.
