Irwin Gielgud died on November 9, 1961, in Los Angeles, California, USA.
Steve Irwin is a bold, brave and passionate man, with a heart as enormous as the sky, and a grin that reaches from ear to ear. He's a classic Australian icon, dedicated father and husband and a world-famous crocodile hunter who deserves to be recognised by Australia and its plentiful people.
Over the years, Steve has helped greatly to build Australia's reputation, image and character in a positive light all around the world. He has become a big part in the raising awareness of Australia and wildlife simultaneously, around the world, with his TV series: The Crocodile Hunter. The Crocodile Hunter is televised in over one hundred and forty countries, and seen by five hundred million viewers. The programme has earned over $15 million, plus $1 million dollars in advertising, and $300,000 in merchandise.
Steve Irwin, as we all know, is at one with the environment, nature and wildlife. His commitment to the environment has been educational, economic and emotional. In 2004, Irwin invested $40 million in the Australian Zoo and was awarded the Accor Tourism Outstanding Achievement Award. Steven Irwin's contribution to our Australian community and his preservation of wildlife will be with all Australians and the world for years to come.
The Steve Irwin video was probably destroyed because it showed his death. If that video would have still existed all kinds of people like little children could have watched it on the internet and that video is something little children should not watch.
Steve Irwin accomplished many things during his lifetime. He educated many people about wildlife and conservation through his television shows which won two Emmy Awards. He inherited a wildlife park from his parents and he turned it into a major tourist attraction called Australia Zoo. He discovered a new species of turtle which has been named after him. He also spent a lot of the money he made from his shows and his work supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
