Many of you may have heard of the death of Aussie Icon Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin earlier on this week.
Sadly today another of Australias high profile icons has died.

Peter Brock, known for his 9 wins at Bathurst, has also died.

See the full story of Brock's death here.

The story of Steve Irwins Death on Monday here.

Both men died doing what they love best.

Sad sad news for Australia and the world.





Many thoughts for their families...

Brocky was my idol.

And just for some trivia and freakish stuff.

Steve Irwin and Peter Brock were born 4 days apart (obviously different years but in the same month) and they died 4 days apart.

I will badly miss Steve Irwin, I loved his shows crocodile hunter diaries (it has inspired me to visit Australia in the future) its amazing like woow! how soo close he got to creatures like snakes/ reptiles etc and i now, i feel i know more about snakes/ reptiles etc than i did ten years ago thanks to Steve and his love for what he did

Yeah such sad news, I couldn't believe it about Steve Irwin I walked around all morning saying "I can't believe he died."

Then driving back from Denmark on Friday afternoon, I heard the news on the radio about Peter Brock, and thought, I can't believe we have lost two icons in the one week.

I heard on the news tonight that scalpers have gotten hold of tickets to Steve Irwins memorial service and have been trying to flog them. They tried selling them on Ebay, but they had the good sense to close the page down. Another women was caught at a Gold Coast shopping centre trying to flog bumper stickers with "Crikey" on them, saying they were raising funds for Steve Irwins charity, Wildlife Warriors. She has been charged with fraud. Some people must have no conscience.

I still cant believe it about Steve, he was such a genuinly good man. I got fed up of watching the same old stuff a year ago or so. But its so unfare that the good guys like Steve are taken from us.
When I seen that on the news yesterday about selling tickets to say fair well, I was sickened by the sheer stupidity.
