Has Irwin changed the cultural dynamics of Australia and why? Was he the quintessential Aussie?
Was he the latter Paul Hogan?
IMO, no.
He was a battler, loved people, his only wife, his children, native animals, carried the Australian o/seas psyche, swam with his Yakkas on, went to Hollywood and was business like and made a killing while dieing doing what he loved at a young age - he loved a BBQ and a beer - he was one of our own.
Hutchence killed himself on drugs while Packer is now almost forgotten due to his many idiosyncrasies outside of commerce. Heart fibrilliators and a gambling addiction?
Let us forget about Science and the Arts - they have no remberance usually.
Brocky had 3 marriages and is to be given a state funeral but also he died what he loved doing. What overshadowed him was a less than "perfect" life.
The new Princess Di of Aussie? - when did you first find out he died and which Australian do you remember that died that had a profound effect on you?
Are our brain cells only capable of a short-term memory?
I actually struggled a little to remember.
Don't look them up - you are only fooling yourself.
Who is on Denton tonight - maybe he will fall off the perch too. LOL
