Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.
One day we were sitting in our little classroom in the middle of Australia Zoo, and Dad bursts in and says, 'OK, today we're going to go climb a mountain,' - the Glass House Mountains are about 20 minutes away - so we packed up all our math work and ran out the door and climbed Mount Tibrogargan.
After losing Dad, there was the idea that none of us have forever. It really affects you. It makes you want to live each day as if it's your last.
If I am able to pass on what I've learnt in my life, that's really wonderful, especially after losing Dad.
I'm trying to carry on my dad's legacy, and it is tough.
I'm so excited to be carrying on in Dad's footsteps and making sure that everything he worked so hard for continues for the generations to come.
I'm driving my dad's old ute. So it's a manual ute. It's massive, so when people see me coming, they just kind of run away!
I'd like to continue to spread my message on conservation and make sure my dad's message - his legacy - lives on.
I'd just like to carry on in Dad's footsteps. I think that Dad's spirit and passion lives in every single one of us.
A lot of people don't know that Dad was quite a scientist, and he was so clever.
I want to make him the proudest dad to have me and I want to show everybody and nearly be as good as him because he was the best.
When you lose someone whose life was so extraordinary like my dad's, you have two options: You can curl up in a dark corner... or rise above it and dust yourself off and continue with their work. He will always be with me.
We try to surround ourselves with love and light. You have to be there for each other. As a family, we are trying to make sure everything Dad worked so hard for carries on into the future.
My dad dedicated his life to getting across the wildlife message, and I love that I can carry on his legacy. I want to make sure his message never dies.
