Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998 in Nambour, Queensland, Australia) is the daughter of The Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin, and mother Terri Irwin. Bindi is a child celebrity who has been involved in acting, singing, songwriting, dancing, rapping, and a fitness DVD. She espouses the same conservationist philosophy as her parents.
Her first name comes from the name of her father's favourite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo, and her middle name is from the family's dog Sui, Sue. According to her father, Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means "young girl."
Bindi began appearing on television shows as early as age two. She appeared regularly in her father's television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and also appeared in the 2002 film The Wiggles: Wiggly Safari in a credited cast role.
Irwin was the presenter of a 26-part wildlife documentary kids show called Bindi the Jungle Girl, a production of the Discovery Kids television network. Her father was filmed in many of the early shows before his death in 2006, when production was temporarily put on hold. The series premiered in June 2007 on Discovery Kids.
Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006), nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an Australian wildlife expert, television personality, and conservationist. Irwin achieved worldwide fame from the television series The Crocodile Hunter, an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series which he co-hosted with his wife Terri. Together, the couple also owned and operated Australia Zoo, founded by Irwin's parents in Beerwah, about 80 kilometres (50 mi) north of the Queensland state capital city of Brisbane. Irwin died on 4 September 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming an underwater documentary film titled Ocean's Deadliest. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship MY Steve Irwin was named in his honour.
Irwin was born on his mother's birthday to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Essendon, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. He moved with his parents as a child to Queensland in 1970, where he attended Landsborough State School and Caloundra State High School. Irwin described his father as a wildlife expert interested in herpetology, while his mother Lyn was a wildlife rehabilitator. After moving to Queensland, Bob and Lyn Irwin started the small Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, where Steve grew up around crocodiles and other reptiles.

I got a desolation angel, head bangin' life lover
She got no money, rich with soul undercover
Gypsy mama, footloose and fancy free
Cold red win front seat of a Chevy with me
Since then I've seen her ridin' on the wind with my
friend
I'm on a paintrain, she put the tracks on my brain
Painful locomotive
I'm on the paintrain, I got my sane on a chain
Can't you see it comin', comin'
Harlequin romantic, princess lady
She's had her heart kicked in just too many times
Cupid's too busy, lady's never Lizzy, baby's never
dizzy
When she was lovin' me she never seemed to get out of
line
Since then I've caught her hidin' commitin' the sin
I'm on a paintrain, she put the tracks on my brain
Painful locomotive
I'm on the paintrain, I got my sane on a chain
Can't you see it comin', comin'
I can tell by your walkin', people start talkin'
Sayin' that your love is free
But I don't listen, just keep reminiscing
Call me when you're lonely
Paintrain
Paintrain
