That's what popped into my head when looking at the thread title today. Irwin projected a ridiculously stereotypical view of Australians to the rest of the world. Besides, I reckon he wasn't too much of a conservationist. I reckon it was all about the $$$
I have never met anyone that was even close to being like Irwan but i honestley think he did love the enviroment and conservation.
Ah, maybe I was being a bit harsh on the poor bastard. He grew up not 5 miles from my place here. There's nary a snake in his old suburb, let alone a crocodile that needs jumping on
