BINDI IRWIN

Bindi Irwin

Bindi Irwin was born in Buderim, Queensland. Her first name comes from the name of her father’s favourite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo, and her middle name, Sue, is from the family’s late dog Sui, who died in her sleep from cancer on 23 June 2004 at the age of 15. According to her father, Bindi is an Australian Aboriginal word that means “young girl”.

She began appearing on television shows as early as age two. She appeared regularly in her father’s television shows, including The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, and also appeared in the 2002 film The Wiggles: Wiggly Safari in a credited cast role. She is of English and Irish ancestry, with abundance of Irish ancestry on her father’s side. Bindi stated herself being a dual citizen (Australian-American), in an interview with Brisbane Times: “What’s really nice is being a dual citizen both here and in the US so I think I get to vote there as well.”

Irwin was homeschooled until 2014, when she enrolled at TAFE Queensland East Coast. She has completed a Certificate III in Business, and is currently studying for a Certificate III in Tourism.
