SYDNEY: Australian crocodile wrangler Steve Irwin will be immortalised in tarmac when the road outside his family zoo is renamed in his honour, officials revealed on Wednesday.

The premier of northeastern Queensland state Peter Beattie announced that the road that runs past Irwin's Australia Zoo in the small town of Beerwah will be called Steve Irwin Way by the end of the year.

"Steve Irwin and his family have put Beerwah on the map and I can think of no more fitting tribute," Beattie said, dubbing the Crocodile Hunter "Queensland's most well-known ambassador ever".

"The declaration of Steve Irwin Way is the first step in helping to build a lasting memorial to Steve Irwin's work," he said.

Irwin's American-born widow Terri Irwin and their children, Bindi, 8, and Bob, 2, live at the zoo in Beerwah and were touched by the announcement, Beattie said.

The announcement came hours ahead of the first televised interview with Terri Irwin since her husband was killed in a freak stingray attack three weeks ago.
