Steve Irwin's daughter has revealed that she feels her father "watching" over her.
Bindi, who recently celebrated her 13th birthday, recently went on a pilgrimage to 'Steve's Place', the Wenlock River area where the Crocodile Hunter was killed by a giant stingray's poisonous barb in 2006.
She told Woman's Day magazine: "I think of [Steve's Place] like paradise. Of course, I miss my dad but I do feel like he's watching over us. He loved this place so much."
During the trip, the teenager, her mother Terri and 7-year-old brother Robert camped on the banks of the river, fished for wild barramundi and enjoyed being surrounded by wildlife.
Bindi described her brother as "the thinker in the family - just like dad", adding: "I think it's wonderful we are carrying on in my dad's footsteps. We really are keeping his dream alive. We are making sure everything he lived and died for continues and I hope that we are making him proud."
Terri added: "It's the million little things about being together as a family that make this [trip] so special. I love seeing [the children] play free-range. It's terrifying being a single parent. When I lost Steve, it was like I lost half my heart. The grief has never ended and it never will. I'm a strong-willed, determined woman but I really was terrified.
"I know in my heart I'm doing the best job I can. I love my children desperately and I'm never going to inhibit their opportunities to have wonderful adventures."
The Irwin family's conservation park Australia Zoo was rumored to be experiencing financial difficulties earlier this year, but Terri denied the reports.
