Bindi Irwin, the 9-year-old daughter of the late Croc Hunter (R.I.P., mate), has launched her own children's clothing line:
The T-shirts, jumpers, swimwear, sleepwear, hats, bags and shoes carry environmental messages.
The tags are made from recycled cardboard, the soles on the shoes are made with recycled rubber and 100 per cent of the profits she earns from the clothes will be used to fund Australia Zoo's conservation programs.
The clothes are expected in Aussie stores in about six months, and may soon also appear in American department stores.

Poor Girl
While it is a shock to lose a parent at such a young age, I think people are pushing this girl too far. I can understand that she wants to follow in Daddy's footsteps but to live completely in the spotlight has to be hard for anyone, especially a 9-year old. Hopefully she comes out of this well balanced enough to do real work when she is older and truly follow her fathers footsteps. It would be a shame if she cracked like so many other child celebrities.
