John Stainton (close friend of Steve and his producer) also held a very moving press conference a short time ago which is worth having a listen to / look at if you get a chance this afternoon.

Cheers Joss.... mate I think most of Australia would be mourning the passing of a Great Legend - a True "Fair Dinkum" Aussie.... where abouts is the press conference link?

I agree donga, i think he would have preferred going that way- doing what he loved best, than to die in a car accident or somethink like that.

Hey Joss, what is it you do for a living that you get to talk to marine legends like Valerie Taylor? I'd love to meet her!

He was known world wide - the UK - the US - It's all over the TV's - and it was so sad watching a special edition of Sunrise this morning on Channel 7 - With so many old interviews, and tributes on the legend.....

Couldn't help it - but it sure did bring a tear..... And am glad the media is backing off alittle bit to allow the family to grieve, and the Queensland Govt will hold a State Funeral - only by request of the family,..... which i think is the Least they should do for him.....
