Surprisingly small amount Steve Irwin left his family
'Everything was reinvested into conservation work,' Terri told the Australian Financial Review in 2024. Robert, Bindi and Terri Irwin at the Steve Irwin gala in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May last year. Photo / Getty Images 'I was in debt … and Steve's life insurance, I think, was the sum total of $200,000, which didn't even cover half of one week's payroll.' Nonetheless, he had ensured that the zoo had a business plan for the future and that its ownership went directly to Terri. Irwin died on September 4, 2006, aged just 42, when a stingray barb pierced his heart. Last year, Terri Irwin opened up about the pain she still feels following her husband's death. Speaking on Wiggle Talk, a podcast for parents, Irwin said: 'When they say time heals all wounds, it doesn't. But eventually it changes it and it walks next to you. 'It's always there, and you have to acknowledge your grief, but it's a companion rather than an all-consuming feeling. 'If you can focus on that and focus on, there's some grief you really never get over, it's okay. You're going to be okay and your kids will be okay. The sun will shine again. It may not shine as bright but it will shine again, that's what you need to hold on to.' In December, Robert Irwin told Stellar magazine that he had mixed feelings about reaching the age of 21 without his dad around. 'It can be heartbreaking. I can't beat around the bush. It's really hard, particularly when it's those milestones,' he said. 'It's difficult navigating that without a father figure. But I have to really praise my entire family, and particularly my mum, on the way in which she's stepped up, to make sure that – while there will always be part of myself missing and I'll never be complete – I never felt like I missed out on anything.' Robert added: 'I hope that somewhere, somehow, he knows I'm trying to make him proud.'

Stranger Things' Dacre Montgomery stars in ghost film shot in New Zealand
The device is unusual in film, but common in theatre. Montgomery said he and Krieps 'perceived the movie to be less of a supernatural tale, and more of a film where two people create their antagoniser in themselves to deal with their grief and trauma'. The Australian actor is best known for playing villain Billy Hargrove in the second and third seasons of Netflix's Stranger Things. He recently confirmed to Screen Rant he will not be appearing in the show's highly anticipated fifth season. Montgomery said the film was an exciting challenge after his years on the hit show. Dacre Montgomery played the sibling of Sadie Sink's character on Stranger Things. Photos / Netflix 'For me, the brilliant thing about this movie is it's so much closer to myself than the character I play in Stranger Things.' Montgomery said playing Jack has helped him figure out who he is. Half of his family is from New Zealand, so production provided opportunities to reconnect. 'I'd never played a character with my accent before, so even that in of itself was quite revealing and made me feel quite vulnerable.' The flick was filmed in the Canterbury region, an area with sentimental value to van Grinsven. The director's parents were ABBA impersonators, which he said informed his 'nursery rhyme' approach to the Kiwi landscape. 'We went up and down New Zealand in the back of a tour van growing up, so for me, my kind of memories of the South Island are very childlike, wide-eyed, sort of fantastical memories.' Went Up The Hill is playing at cinemas across New Zealand for the Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival. Both van Grinsven and Montgomery will be attending a screening at Lumière Cinemas tonight, with a chance to question the actor and director after the showing.
