Bindi Irwin has come a long way since courageously stepping in front of a crowd of mourners to pay tribute to her late father Steve at his memorial service almost seven years ago. It was a September day in 2006 when a khaki-clad eight-year-old Irwin trotted on stage, told the world how much she loved her daddy and vowed to continue his wildlife conservation work. Later this year that little girl turns "the big 1-5" and appears to be well on track with her ecological mission. "G'day, g'day, this is Bindi," Irwin says breezily over the phone from her home at Australia Zoo on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, sounding every bit like her father's daughter. "Hey, did you know we have a crocodile here called Lucy?" Irwin is on the phone to talk about her starring role in the new family adventure movie, Return to Nim's Island. In the sequel to the 2008 film starring Abigail Breslin, Jodie Foster and Gerard Butler, the fast-talking eco-warrior is in her element as the eponymous Nim, a feisty young girl who is battling to save the remote island she lives on with her father from development.

Super Bindi has her sights set on a soaring role in movies

WE'RE used to seeing her in her khakis, but Bindi Irwin dreams of trading them in for lycra in her next film. She plays spirited conservationist Nim, in Return To Nim's Island, the sequel to the 2008 Nim's Island, but she would love to play a superhero in her next film. "Wouldn't it be fun to fly?" she said with the enthusiasm of a 14-year-old. "Maybe in the next film Nim could fly around the island?"

She lost her father in 2006 but Bindi Irwin is following in Steve's footsteps - becoming quite the celebrity in her own right. The 14-year-old daughter of the late conservationist took part in a shoot in Sydney, Australia on Monday and it's clear she has plenty of star power. Bindi, who lost her father seven years ago, appeared confident and happy as she beamed for the cameras.
