Its so heartbreaking here watching the TV and seeing all the kids crying.
Steve actually visited a lot of schools and also had Educational packs made for primary school aged kids, so aussie kids just love Steve.
Those educational packs were about the dangers of our aussie wildlife and the what/ how/whens the kids should do if they where in or confronted with danger.
Depending on the ages of the kids, these packs contained projects, work sheets, videos plus a teachers manual on how to teach the kids etc
They were fantastic and the kids
absolutely loved them
I used these educational packs with special needs kids and they just made learning so much fun for the kids.
I would like to state too that these edu packs were designed/created by Steve and Terri for the sole purpose of educating young kids to the dangers and risks of our wildlife and they did this
FREE of charge for the education department.
Steve was an over-the-top type personality but he always admitted that and being a drongo really helped get peoples attention :crazy:
He had a huge heart and totally loved his family.
I'm so glad i came back on here today because after reading here yesterday those few posts about him being an idiot, about the "putting bob in danger BS" and also accusing him of being cruel to animals, I actually left WS in a huge snit and in tears.
So its now nice to see posts by people who actually saw the man as he really was .. a
True-Blue Aussie drongo with a huge heart, a loving/adoring dad, husband, son and mate and a true animal lover/activist. A true aussie icon who will be missed

PS I keep wondering if Terri will OK it for a state funeral, some how i think Steve would have not wanted the fuss. He would probably say "CRIKEY just donate some money to the wildlife fund".
