Aaaahahahaha. Oooh dear. Yes, I should have explained that in Aust we wear thongs, eg flip flops on our feet! Haha.
We Auzzies have tough feet, and skin, Steve was a bit out there I admit, well, alot out there, but that was him. I grew up admiring the work he did, not too keen on Bindi though.....the singing gets to me a bit....hehe
It was a fluke that the stingray went for him, they're placid creatures. I really thought it would be a snake. They would be able to have gotten him away from a croc, but in the middle of nowhere and a snake bite.....anyway, his death gave stingers a bad name for a while.
I've spent my life with more time in no shoes than with shoes, and in cooler clothing. I can understand why he always wore the khakis, once you spend most of your life outdoors then nothing bugs you.
GO THONGS!!!!! haha
