Living and dying dangerously
Well it’s been a week for well known Australians being killed doing the dangerous things that made them famous. First it was the sad news about Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin being killed by a stingray, and now this piece of news just hit my inbox : Peter Brock killed in crash - theage.com.au – apparently the racing legend’s car hit a tree while racing a rally here in Western Australia. I had said to someone the other day that although it was sad that Steve Irwin had died, at least he had gone out doing the thing he loved, rather than getting cancer or dying in a crash. And the same is true for Brocky – after so many years racing it’s both tragic and yet somehow fitting that he died behind the wheel… A sad week here in Australia all round.
These things seem to come in three’s though – wonder who’ll be the next Australia to die doing what they’re known best for? How about Germaine Greer dying with her foot stuck in her mouth??
