Bindi Irwin and her mother Terri pose with an adorable kangaroo during

an

interview on U.S. TV show Good Morning America.

The 12-year-old, the daughter of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, was promoting a new line

of books in her Wildlife Adventures series. Speaking of her

father, the young actress said: 'We want to carry on in his footsteps, where he left off.'

Steve was killed in September

2006 after getting stung by a stingray while filming in Australia's

Great Barrier Reef. He was

setting up to shoot ocean reef

footage at the time for a show

that would

include segments with Bindi.

At his funeral, she delivered a

speech in front of 5,000 people in a worldwide television broadcast watched by more than 300million viewers.

Meanwhile, Steve's widow Terri has been forced to sell off parts of their multi-million property empire. The Queensland floods impacted badly on tourism, which affected the Irwins' Australia Zoo.

Mother of two Terri, 46, who also has a young song Robert, also admitted a wet summer affected visitor numbers and forced job cuts.
