Oh absolutely annoying. I have never seen one of his episodes the entire way through. I found his brand of "dinkumness' to be overwhelming, and in many instances, I felt put on to sell the ozzie point further.
Still, as ends go, it sure seems fitting.
There are currently a number of animal behaviourists that are amazing he was killed by a ray. They usually don't attack unless threatened and from all reports he was only swimming overhead from the ray, not actually interacting with it in any manner.
Shame Bindi and Bob (his kids) will be growing up without their dad. It's always a shame when kids lose a parent early.
I liked the bloke. He was very enthusiastic about what he did and at least you can't say he was dull.
I feel sorry for his kids though. I saw an episode earlier in the year where his daughter was helping him catch baby freshwater crocs - she can't have been more than about 9.
Not suprised nobody's been killed by a stingray since 1945 - they're big buggers - anyone normal stays well clear.
Alhough I'm sure he wouldn't have wanted to die so young, I think he'd have wnated to go out like this. Kind of a shame it wasn't a croc that got him though.
Science and Ecology in particular has lost a great ambassador. I can see how he woould have appealed to people that your average presenter wouldn't be able to reach.
Many people do suffer injuries from standing on rays. My ex accidentally 'surfed' on one for approximately 4 metres before it whacked his calf with its sting.
Not nice, not tasty.
There have been incredibly few deaths from ray misadventure over the years. Only 30 fatalities world wide have occured.
A sad demise for Mr Crikey. It really has hit hard down here.
