Robert Irwin shares his earliest memory of his late father Steve Irwin in touching tribute on The Project: 'Just loving life'


Robert Irwin has shared his first memory of his late father Steve Irwin during Sunday's episode of the Project.

'It's funny my earliest memory of dad was every morning - didn't matter [whether] it was rail, hail or shine - he would load up Bindi and I on the front of his motorbike and we would go rip around [Australia Zoo] and get ice cream' he said. The photo showed a barefoot Steve, standing on a sandy bank, offering a stoic expression as he casually held a small crocodile in his hands. Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin died age 44 off the coast of Queensland on 4 September 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray while filming a nature documentary.
