AUSTRALIANS from all walks of life have reacted with shock to the death of the seemingly indestructible Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.
From politicians to radio talk-back callers, most reacted with utter disbelief to news one of Australia's best-known icons had died in a diving
accident.
The 44-year-old television star and naturalist died around 11am (AEST) when a stingray barb punctured his heart while he was filming a nature
documentary off Port Douglas in north Queensland.
Queensland Premier Peter Beattie said a "great Australian" had been lost.
"It's a tragedy, it's shocked everybody," Mr Beattie said.
He said Mr Irwin, who he met a number of times, had made a huge contribution to Queensland.
"He was a great Queenslander and a great Australian and he'll be sadly missed by everybody," he said.
"There'll be a lot of people around the world, particularly young kids, who will be very distressed today."
Queensland Coalition Leader Lawrence Springborg mirrored Mr Beattie's comments regarding the "larger-than-life" character.
"Steve was an amazing Queenslander and the legacy that he has built will live on for generations to come," Mr Springborg said.
"Steve epitomised the very best of Queensland.
"He will be sadly missed by the countless people whose lives have been touched through Steve's movies, documentaries, TV programs and by visiting the
Australia Zoo."
Radio networks in Brisbane were jammed by callers who could not believe the Crocodile Hunter was dead.
Listeners called in one after another to confirm the news and tell of feelings of devastation.
Several callers likened the loss to the death of Princess Diana.
Most described him a lovable "yokel" who was passionate about his job and his country.
Flowers have already been left by the public at the Irwin family's animal park ? Australia Zoo, north of Brisbane.
Australian Tourism Export Council managing director Matthew Hingerty said the whole industry was in shock at the news.
"Not only was Steve Irwin a true Aussie icon, he was a fantastic ambassador for Australia and particularly for Queensland.
"His work in promoting the region, in working tirelessly on nature conservation issues and in building Australia Zoo into one of Australia's "must
visit" attractions was a true inspiration to the tourism industry.
"The influence of the Crocodile Hunter name across the world contributed in bringing millions of tourist dollars into Australia and in employing
hundreds of Australians."
Mr Hingerty said Mr Irwin's Australia Zoo was an enthusiastic contributor to the development of the tourism industry and he would like to pass the
industry's condolences to the Irwin family.

That is so sad. He seemed like a cool guy.
A little off the subject:
A few months ago i was watching this documentary called grizzlyman. It was about this guy who studied and lived with the grizzly bears.
That guy was a real ass though.
He treated those bears like they were no more than little puppy dogs or teddy bears.
He would even try to wrestle and hug them...
GRIZZLYBEARS ARE WILD FUCKING ANIMALS, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH THEM.!!!
In the end he got eatin by one of the bears.Voodoobillyman - 9-4-2006 at 12:43 PM

^^^^^^^^ they actually have the video of the total death but the friends of the guy and girl will not release it. I can totally understand but in all
seriousness. I think it could be used as a lesson in Bear safety. I'm being serious. This dude was off his fucking rocker. He was a mental case and if
he really wanted to inform people about bears they sould release this.upyerbum - 9-5-2006 at 03:05 PM
That bear guy was an idiot. That was just natural selection.gavin - 9-5-2006 at 03:26 PM
