Australia Zoo, the park founded by Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has announced that 15 November has been chosen as the day the iconic Australian star, who died on 4 September 2006, will be remembered.

In a statement, Australia Zoo said that Steve Irwin Day has been created to represent the things Irwin was passionate about, including ‘family, wildlife and fun’. There will also be a focus on raising funds for Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

Fans are invited to get involved through visiting Australia Zoo, having a Backyard Campout or pulling on one of Irwin’s trademark khaki shirts for Khaki Day. Details: www.steveirwinday.org or www.australiazoo.com.au
