R.I.P. Peter Brock and Steve Irwin

Two of Australians biggest icons have passed away this week.

Steve 'the crocodile hunter' Irwin has passed away leaving behind terri, bindi and bob as well as many animals around this world. My own thoughts on Steve at first was that an animal has struck back, since for many years we see Steve always getting far to close to many times to very dangerus animals, but after reflexting on this i understand just what he did for our own enviroment and getting close so that we knew not to get close, yes he was very over the top but i'm sure anyone else would be like that about things that they are so passionate about. I'm sure Australia will never see another Steve Irwin again and will miss the work he not only did for the animals but also putting Australia on the map, 'cricky'.



Peter 'Perfect' Brock has also passed away, Mr Motor Sport was driving in a rally in Western Australia and hit a tree. Peter has done so mush for motor sport here in Australia and nobody will ever win as many Bathurst's as he has or ever drive as well as Brocky did, big statements i know but anyone who knows about Peter will agree with me. The man had so much time for everyone including his fans and media which not many other sports person can lay claim to. I hope Peter gets what he deservse and it would be fitting to name a piece of the Bathurst track after the man who dominated the race for so many years. His famous saying he would write when signing autographs was "live the dream", to houner the man lets all do that.


Both men will be sadly missed but i'm sure both would of wanted to go they way they did because they were doing what they enjoyed doing in life which makes us think about our own life if we go tomorrow will we be enjoying what ever we are doing?? R.I.P. Steve and Peter you will be both missed.
