Probably there are some other australians...
I  am mentioning him, too.

Steve Irwin

This guy was enthusiastic and straight forward. Sometimes doing his job with a kind of joy like a child.
Worldwide popular since his TV- appearence, he was still earth-grounded.
Further: For his target (to save wildlife) he has done more in private than in public.

Why a german guy is interested on the most famous australian ?

Are you expecting that most of the people mention Dave ? You may have it, specially if you post this on his forum.

Are we lacking posts ideas for this forum ?
