The Irwins: The clan embraces Rorie Buckey as Terri keeps Robert’s new friend by her side after the family’s annual “Croc Trip” – and everyone covers up in masks in a bizarre Covid-era throwback
Robert Irwin went “Instagram official” with his girlfriend Rorie Buckey last month.
And things seem to be getting serious between the couple: 19-year-old Rorie accompanies the family on their annual conservation trip to Weipa in Far North Queensland.
On Monday, the Irwin family was seen returning from their trip to mark the anniversary of Steve Irwin’s death.
Robert’s mother Terri, 59, wore a printed shirt and beige trousers as she exited the plane with Rorie by her side.
His sister Bindi, 25, casually wore blue jeans and a checked shirt as she carried their two-year-old daughter Grace.

Robert was also wearing blue jeans, a t-shirt and carrying a backpack as he walked alongside Bindi and her husband Chandler.
Robert was just two and Bindi eight when their father, aged 44, was killed by a stingray in the heart while filming a wildlife documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Irwin family keeps Steve’s memory alive by continuing his conservation work.
“We’re also very lucky because with all of our dad’s great documentaries, we basically have our lives on TV,” Robert told ET last October.

“All we have to do is put the DVD in the DVD player, rewind and press play, and we can relive these amazing memories. “So we’re very, very lucky in that respect.”
The trip comes after Woman’s Day claimed that Rorie needed to win over the Irwin family by agreeing to go out into nature.
An insider said Rorie was “determined not to let Robert down and show him – and his mother and sister – that she’s not just a jerk. “And she blew them away.”

The couple, who have been together since November 2022, live on different sides of the country, with Robert in Queensland and Rorie in Western Australia, but are reportedly managing to make it work.
But there is also growing speculation that Rorie will win the Irwins’ favor, meaning she will be moving to Australia Zoo sooner rather than later.
Irwin and Buckey both come from famous Australian families, as Robert is the son of the late conservationist Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, while Rorie is the niece of the late Oscar-winning actor Heath Ledger.
