Paddle Out for Whales official ambassador and original wildlife warrior Bob Irwin will once again attend our National Whale Day event. Bob jumped on board our cause in 2011 to speak about current issues facing today's wildlife, including our whales, and to officially open the event. Bob didn't stop there, he was quick to change into a pair of shorts (khaki of course) and join organiser Vicki Neville on the water to Paddle Out too. 
Since establishing the Bob Irwin Wildlife Fund in 2008, Bob has become ever more vocal in representing Australia's wildlife and making the general public more aware of their often desperate plight. Since the fund's inception Bob has worked with volunteers from a number of grass-roots environmental organisations to draw attention to such issues as the massacre of wombats in farming regions, the inhumane slaughter of dugongs, the atrocities of the kangaroo industry and the imminent loss of koalas from South East Queensland.
More information on Bob's wildlife fund can be found on his website http://www.bobirwinwildlife.com/
We sincerely thank Bob and his wife Judy for their continued support of our event and look forward to having them involved in our important cause and helping to raise much needed awareness for our whales and other marine life.
