American In Sydney

Good Bye Crocodile Hunter

I failed to mention a big thing that happened last week. The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, was killed as he was filming one of his animal documentaries last week up in the Great Barrier Reef. It was one of those surreal moments as the news shocked everyone - from the Americans to the Australians. A man who laughed in the face of danger and screamed "Crikey!" was gone. Being up on the Gold Coast, there were pictures everywhere. Makes sense as his family lives on the Sunshine Coast, not too far away, and his wildlife zoo is close also. I just wanted to let you guys know that the Aussies miss him, and I will too.

A word that applies to Steve:

Larrikin = someone mischievous
