it's actually three. Colin Thiele, the author of Storm Boy and numerous other works, also died on Monday.

That's shocking. Storm Boy was my favourite book and movie as a little kid.
It's so sad, to lose all these great legends in a few days of eachother.
I teared up I admit, watching the news about Brock. Just blew me over.

so did practically everyone else since it was overshadowed by Irwin, and it wasn't as "spectacular" because he was 85 and died of heart complications.
