Bindi Irwin

That's so good.

And then years later, I know Robert Irwin's been on stuff that we've done and Bindi was when she was little.

Yeah.

And then later, that's a beautiful.

And Bindi Owen, my...

My big idol, Bindi Irwin.

I was obsessed with David Attenborough.

I'm still obsessed with David Attenborough.

I've met a lot of amazing women, a lot of which have been on this podcast.

But I have met so many incredible people in my life, which I'm so grateful for.

And I think even talking earlier, like I've always had my idols.

Yeah, you have.

And I suppose sharing the IVF, I've never been so overwhelmed with the response to something.

When I did the IVF week, we got Bindi Irwin on, our IVF fertility experts and everything.

And it was that overwhelming that I couldn't even respond to sort of all the messages that I got.

And for our journey forward, And it's tough.

That was pretty cool.

I've been there a couple of times, and the last time I went, Bindi and Terry were doing the Croc show.

What's it called? The Wildlife Warriors show.

Yes.

And it was great seeing them.

It made me a little emotional seeing them both because, you know, they were such a big – them and Steve and Bob, Robert Ewan, they were just such a great team.

And it's like I'm so glad that Steve's given us the best gift to the world, Bindi and Bob.

Well, Bindi and Terry, they've, you know, their household names and everyone knows and loves them in the community from the Wiggly Safari.

It was pretty easy.

And like Bindi Irwin, when I was young, this is like Freya Law, she was everything to me I used to watch her tv show all the time and

yeah not not the like

sometimes I would go try and find snakes and pick up snakes and stuff so I don't know that it was the best influence I think I took it a little bit too literally I thought I was Bindi Irwin

you and the snakes you and the snakes you've got something you love snakes what's yeah what's going on with that yeah I

don't know that just brought back a whole lot of memories but yeah anyway interesting season

Yeah, so actually, I had, like, seen a few girls on Instagram.

I mean, Bindi Irwin.

She's a very well-known mom with endometriosis, and I know her pregnancies were not easy.

She was bleeding and in pain and like they were kind of like scary, stressful pregnancies.

Tia do you have any memories of Steve Irwin?

Yeah, I've been to Australia Zoo and I haven't met any of his family, but just, yeah, watching Bindi Irwin growing up like she's my age and, yeah, just watching her dad.

Yeah, he's just a legend.

He's just a really good guy.

I'm Frances Whiting from Q Weekend, and today I'm so delighted to be at Australia Zoo, uh, speaking to the delightful Terri Irwin.

Terri is a world-renowned conservationist, the director of Australia Zoo, mum to Bindi and Robert, grandma to Grace, friend of animals everywhere, and basically just an all-around legend.

So welcome, Terri.

Great.

Yeah.

But I think he is a very good person with a good heart.

So when Bindi went through all of her difficulties with her health and battling endometriosis, he actually paid attention and listened, and could communicate about that.

So we'll be out to dinner, and he'll say to the waitperson, "How are you doing?" And she'll say, "You know, I'm a little tired, but I'm doing okay." [laughs] And then Robert's like, "Have you considered endometriosis?" [laughs] And I'm just like-
