Steve Irwin remembered

STEVE Irwin fans don't come any more devoted than Jacob Hunter, who changed his first name to "Croc" on the day his idol died one year ago today.
Now six, the littlest "Croc" Hunter realised a dream to visit Irwin's Australia Zoo In Queensland with his family yesterday on the eve of the anniversary of the original Crocodile Hunter's death.
