Robert Irwin Celebrates Late Dad Steve Irwin With Emotional Throwback Video

Robert Irwin honored his father, the late Steve Irwin, in a touching tribute shared on Father's Day in Australia.

"Today is Father’s Day here in Australia," the 19-year-old conservationist began in the caption of the Sept. 3 post, which featured a montage of throwback clips of the late zookeeper entertaining his two kids, Robert and Bindi.

His statement continued, "Days like this are filled with so many different emotions, but above all, I choose to make it a happy day to remember the best moments with the best Dad ❤️."

While here in the United States, we associate the holiday with the month of June, in The Land Down Under, the holiday is actually celebrated on the first Sunday of September.

Robert's 25-year-old sister, Bindi, later shared a few words in the comments, gushing over him. "Dad is SO. PROUD. OF. YOU," she wrote. "He’s always with us. Love you."

Another admitted that Steve's presence on TV over two decades ago inspired them as parents today, writing, "As a kid from the 80s who grew up watching Steve on tv, he was such a shining example for a father that I see inspires me as a dad even today in real life."

"The entire planet loved him," a fourth asserted.

Since Steve's tragic passing in Sept. 2006, his wife, Terri Irwin, and the couple's two kids have remained dedicated to his passion for wildlife, continuing his "conservation through education" efforts with their work at the Australia Zoo.
