A Year to the day folks

my friend in Australia said the TV is full of tributes to him.

I'll have a can of XXXX for him later

When this happened, I was in Cuba on honeymoon.

I was in the hotel lobby bar, where there was German TV at one end, English-speaking TV at the other end. I'd already had a few 'Brown Cow' cocktails, and yet I remember the whole bar going silent when this 'breaking story' came in.

He was truly an international symbol of the genre.

Bless his cotton socks! But, as they say, live by the sword—die by the sword. (or Barb in this case). He'd used his 9 lives countless times over, I think.

I can't believe that was a whole year ago. I always loved watching him, he was just such great fun to watch and full of energy and passion for what he believed. Bonza bloke.

hard to believe, he seemed such an "invincible" character... and to be taken down by a bloody stingray, after spending so much time with Crocs...

Spent much of his earnings on forest in northern Queensland only to decide to do "nothing" with it, a true environmentalist publically AND privately.

Seems Steve's daughter Bindi will follow in his footsteps, already has her own TV show.

She's not even 10 years old.

For anyone interested, there is a good bio on Steve here.
