A bit more about Bindi

Bindi Sue Irwin (born 24 July 1998 in Nambour, Queensland, Australia) is the daughter of Terri Irwin and Steve Irwin. She is a child celebrity, who has tried her hand at acting, singing, dancing, and rapping. She follows 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 Sue is from the family's dog Sui. Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means little girl according to her father.

Bindi's television career started when she was 2. She appeared regularly in her father's television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and she also appeared in the 2002 Wiggles film, Wiggly Safari. Bindi was the presenter of a 26-part wildlife documentary kids show called Bindi the Jungle Girl. Her father Steve was in many of the early shows before his death in 2006, when production was temporarily put on hold.

Bindi hosted a special about her father called My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She also starred in Bindi Kidfitness, a child fitness DVD in which she sang and danced. She made a hip-hop album called Trouble In The Jungle. She is currently learning how to play the piano.
