Ten years since the death of the Crocodile Hunter, Bindi Irwin has shared a gorgeous photo of her and Steve Irwin in a Father's Day salute to her Dad.

"You'll be my hero for my entire existence. I love you more than words can describe," the 18-year-old posted on her Instagram and Twitter accounts, adding a picture of her, barely a toddler, being held aloft in one hand by her proud Dad.

It's a decade since Irwin died on September 4, 2006, after being struck by a deadly stingray barb while filming for one of his many TV shows off Port Douglas in North Queensland, and left a family, a nation, and the world in shock.

 

 

Bindi and Irwin's son, Robert, who were just eight and two years old respectively when the famous father died, have worked tirelessly alongside Irwin's wife Terri since to honour their father's wildlife warrior legacy.
