Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a wildlife documentary in Queensland.
Last month, Bindi broke down in tears over her heartache that her father would never get to meet her newborn baby Grace, in a preview for the family’s new show Crikey! It’s A Baby! on Animal Planet.
In the footage, Bindi – alongside her husband Chandler Powell, brother Robert and mother Terri – took baby Grace to visit Australia Zoo’s ‘Crocoseum’, where Steve would love to ‘feed the crocodiles and spend time as a family’.

Reflecting on the special moment, Bindi, 22, said: ‘It’s hard knowing she’ll never get to actually meet him, and it’s devastating as I’ll never get to watch that connection.
‘But I cannot wait to be able to tell beautiful Grace all of these stories about dad, and share with her what an amazing father he was.’
As Bindi began to get emotional, she added: ‘It’s going to be really special. It’s going to be really special for her to know him, and tell her about what an amazing man he was.’
Through tears, she added that out of ‘everyone in the world’, Steve would have ‘loved Grace the most’.
‘But I think in a way he is still with us and his heart and soul live on in all of us. He’s never really gone,’ she added.
