Bindi & Terri Irwin
While it was "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin who blasted the family into public consciousness in 1991, it is the females in his life who have proved instrumental in protecting his legacy and continuing his conservation crusade. Daughter Bindi was just six years old when Steve was killed in 2006, but even at that early age she knew her purpose. Just months after losing her father, Bindi joined The Weekly as a columnist, sharing her passion for wildlife. Terri, meanwhile, not only stepped up as sole owner of Australia Zoo and the Wildlife Warriors foundation, but made them bigger, "because I promised". Along with son Robert and Bindi's now-husband, Chandler Powell, the Irwin women returned to Lady Elliot Island - a tropical coral paradise the Irwins helped restore to health - with The Weekly in 2019. "We are a family who works together, lives together and holidays together," Terri said. "We communicate well, and I think it's a natural effect of losing Steve. I think we became closer and stronger as a family."

That role transformed marriage and divorce in Australia.
