Two Great Aussies Lost

What a terrible week it’s been.

We’ve lost two great Aussies, Steve Irwin and Peter Brock. When I heard about Steve Irwin I was in shock.  I’ve never met him before in my life, but I felt like I’d lost a friend.  Many people I’ve spoken to about him have felt the same way.  It’s incredible that someone you don’t even know can have that impact on you. 

Now Peter Brock too, another great Aussie icon lost.  That too was a shock.  In both cases, I was hoping it was some sort of stupid false rumour that started and spread like wildfire.  But it wasn’t to be. 

Both great Australians were taken long before their time. 

My deepest sympathies go out to both the families and friends of these amazing people.
