Thats the thing Mickey, He's a Queenslander and the powers to be were going to call the train the "Steve Irwin" for a bit of publicity. The good floks in the NT kicked up a stink, saying it should be named after a Territorian or South Australian, someone that had links with the area. But the powers that be wouldn't budge, UNTIL Steve the baby dangler pull that stunt, then they quietly droped him
