Steve Irwin Day is held on November 15 to remember the legacy left by the Crocodile Hunter and work on conservation, following his shocking death in 2006.
“To the world, he will be remembered as the greatest Wildlife Hero,” Bindi began next to a photo of her childhood snuggling against her father’s chest.

“Steve Irwin Day and the ARIAs both overlap today making it fitting to share this photo of the great man himself at the 2002 ARIAs,” he wrote.
“This world is still not the same without him.”
The famous television presenter died 17 years ago, on September 4, while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef when a stingray barb pierced his heart.
