Bindi Irwin has sent a heartwarming message to her brother as they both honoured their dad Steve in Father’s Day tributes.

It’s the 17th anniversary of the beloved Australian TV personality and zookeeper Steve Irwin’s sudden death following a stingray encounter on September 4, 2006.

The two milestone events fall within days of each other each year.
