I called my Dad last night to see what was happening over in Australia. He told me that there is an air of sadness about the place. People are shocked.
Many are saying that Steve Irwin was the "face of Australia", and that he did more for tourism by just being himself than anything the government has done with all the money they put into it.
Dad told me that there are counselors on the radio giving advice to parents since many children are devastated.
