It's just been reported on ABC Radio here in Australia, which is a very reliable source. Also, there is a big headline on the Yahoo Australia site (www.yahoo.com.au).
Personally, I (like a lot of Australians) found Steve to be a little tough to take, with his "Aussie" personality, but his passion for conservation was amazing, and his show introduced wild life and nature to a lot of people around the world.
I dont think there is a person in this country that is surprised he died by a dangerous animal, but, he died doing something he clearly loved, which is something.
