And I thought this week could not get any worse
Many a day glued to the tele watching the 05 car lap the best Australia and the world could offer.
We'll miss you Brockie

depends how you look at it but in the last week or so other than Steve Irwin and Brocky you also have Don Chipp and author Colin Theile

Must be reaping season. What next? one of the Wiggles?
The amazing this about Irwin is the posts in the Australian paper (online). There are over 190 pages of posts from people all around the world. I'm talking Bavaria, Latvia, etc. He was a hugely loved man.

Sorry guys, bu I have had tears flowing ever since i heard!
I used to rally and race against brockie back in the dreamtime and a nicer bloke or better person you could never hope to meet.
At least he went doing what he loved and will al3ays be rememberd for the great driver, great ambassador for sport and the genuinely all round great bloke he was.
Australia has lost another Icon and another hero.
He was KING OF THE MOUNTAIN, just like that song (was it by Midnite Oil???)
