Bindi Irwin Gets Her Driver's License In Her Dad's Old Truck

24th March 2016

Licensed To....Well, Drive

As most of us will be very aware, Bindi Irwin has acheived some great things in her relatively short tim eon the planet. Of course, she's a passionate conservtionist like her dad, as well as an actress and a pretty decent ballroom dancer, to name but a few things. But her latest achievement? An Australian driver's license.

Her Dad's Ute

The P in the first picture stands for provisional driver - as per law in Australia, including the state of Queensland where the license was issued. She passed teh driving test in behind the wheel of her old man's ute! (Ute being short for utility vehicle in Australia - you might call it a "truck").

Steve's Ute

STeve Irwin was very fond of his ute and it featured as a centrepiece during his memorial service after he passed away due to a mishap with a stingray. We're sure he'd be very proud of his daughter, enthusiasticall so...

In Spirit

Bindi is known to speak quite often of her late father, "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin and like father like daughter in this case, as she continues on using her high profile to promote causes associated to conservation.

Growing Up Bindi

"It was wonderful to take my test in St George and pass the first time and in my Dad's giant old ute!" she wrote on Instagram.

Bindi was just an eight-year-old when her father passed away. And only two when her paternal grandmother died. Earlier this year, she posted a heartfelt Instagram birthday message for her dad which included reference to her grandmother.

With a pic of both she wrote; "My grandmother and Dad. Both of whom I miss desperately. Knowing my grandmother for almost 2 years and my dad for 8, I am blessed to have these beautiful souls with me always. Happy birthday to you both. I love you".
