Bindi Irwin has revealed the special place where she feels closest to her late father Steve ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ Irwin.
The 25-year-old wildlife warrior said this week that she carries that connection with her to this day.
“My dad built me a treehouse and it was my favorite place in the world to play. It was the place where I could be a wild child!’ she said Perth Now.
“Surrounded by wildlife, next to the creek, that’s where I felt most connected to nature and to my father,” Bindi continued.
“That connection meant the world to me and I carried it into my adult years.

“My world now revolves around conservation, encouraging others to care for our earth and understand that we are all connected.”
Bindi recently revealed how she keeps her father’s memory alive while speaking at the annual Steve Irwin Gala Dinner in Los Angeles.
“Whether it’s playing one of his documentaries for our daughter Grace, feeding the crocodiles at Australia Zoo, or evenings like tonight,” she said E! News.
“I think it’s so important to remember that we all deal with grief in different ways.”

The reality star added that her family’s love and support helped her immensely when it came to dealing with the grief of losing her father at such a young age.
Bindi was just eight years old when her father, known to millions around the world as ‘the Crocodile Hunter’, died aged 44 on September 4, 2006 after being pierced in the chest by a stingray while filming a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef.
Steve’s family has continued its mission to promote and protect wildlife through Australia Zoo, making the family global stars.
