Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. This famous Queenslander died in 2006 in bizarre circumstances. Who was he?"
...1. Leonard Teale 2. Steve Irwin 3. Russ Hinze 4. Joh Bjelke-Petersen Born Stephen Robert Irwin in Essendon, Victoria, on 22 February 1962, the Crocodile Hunter, as he became known, was arguably the world's best-known Queenslander. Irwin's family moved to Queensland in 1970. His parents started Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park at Beerwah. Years later, Irwin took the park over and changed the name to "Australia Zoo". A tireless proponent of wildlife rescue, Irwin funnelled the profits of his television programs, Australia Zoo and the advertising appearances for the Australian Government's Quarantine Service into the animal conservation fund he created, "Wildlife Warriors". On 4 September 2006, Irwin was pierced in the chest by a stingray spine at the Great Barrier Reef, during a break whilst filming a documentary, ironically entitled "The Ocean's Deadliest". As for the other choices, they were all Queenslanders, but died 'normally'. Leonard Teale, a highly respected television and stage actor who was also well known for his recital of the poem "The Man From Snowy River" died in 1994. Russ Hinze, the portly (make that morbidly obese) Queensland Parliamentarian, affectionately known as the "Minister for Everything" died in 1991. Sir Joh, as outlined in Question 1 of this quiz, passed away in 2005.
