“Dad, Today is your birthday,” Bindi captioned the post, alongside a photo of her dad holding a porcupine and wearing an Australia Zoo shirt. “I had an extra strong cup of tea just how you liked it. I hugged Mum for you and told her how much we love her. Robert and I went on a hike through the mountains you cherished. I watched one of your documentaries with Chandler and shared stories about you. I walked through your office in the zoo and smiled at our old family photographs.”
She continued: “Today and every day I miss you and love you beyond description. You’re always with me. ❤️”
Steve’s wife Terri Irwin also remembered his husband on Saturday, saying her late husband was her “best friend” via a Twitter post that included a series of photos of the late Crocodile Hunter.
