'Daddy was my hero, he was changing the world'

[Guest guest]

I saw a clip of this on the news and I must admit to welling up a little, such a brave little girl. Steve Irwin would have been proud of his daughter, aged 8 Bindi Irwin vowed to continue her father's conservation work. PHOTOGRAPH: STEVE HOLLAND/AP THE eight-year-old daughter of the Australian adventurer Steve Irwin moved thousands of mourners to tears and a standing ovation yesterday as she took centre stage at a memorial service for her father. Watched by her mother, Terri, her brother Bob, 2, another 5,000 mourners and a television audience of millions, Bindi Irwin vowed to continue her father’s conservation work. She told the crowd at Irwin’s Australia Zoo: “My daddy was my hero — he was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things, but most of all he was fun. I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. “We filmed together, caught crocodiles together. I don’t want Daddy’s passion ever to end. I want to help endangered wildlife like he did.” Her homily complete, Bindi stood beside her mother and looped an arm around her neck. Spectators wept and the media witnessed the birth of the next Irwin TV star. “The Little Wildlife Warrior”, said the Sydney Morning Herald; “Brave Bindi’s star shines”,
