There are two new episodes of "Robert's Real Life Adventures" since I last checked! 
Lady Elliot Island
Release Date: Mon, Aug 23rd
Synopsis: Terri and the kids fly off to Lady Elliot Island. Bindi discovers a Mutton bird on the air strip and moves it to a safer location away from the airstrip. Robert checks out the other birds on the island.
SIWR Wenlock River
Release Date: Wed, Sep 1st
Duration: 04:56:00
Synopsis: The Wenlock River on the border of the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve is one of the most beautiful rivers in Australia. It supports a population of critically endangered Speartooth Sharks. Robert got the chance of a lifetime to go in a helicopter and see the river from above. Robert couldn't wait to get up in the air and check out the river. In June of 2010 the Wenlock basin was declared a wild river which means it is now protected from future destructive development, such as in stream mining, damming, irrigation and over extraction of water. Even with this wild rivers act in place the Wenlock River continues to be threatened due to proposed strip mining on the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve.

As a single adult with no nieces or nephews, I have to admit that I didn't know much about Bindi Irwin. I knew she was the daughter of the late Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter, I knew she's a celebrity of sorts in the world of the under 10s, but beyond that, the young Bindi was just a child who didn't really feature in my world.
But when we started brainstorming for a cover personality for this issue, the name Bindi Irwin came up and immediately we knew it would work. Bindi has the kind of appeal where even if you don't adore her, you will find her hard to dislike.
She has her critics, perhaps more because of fears that here is a girl who has not had a normal childhood, and her family has, according to some, "exploited her".
But as comedienne Fiona O'Loughlin found out earlier this year, nasty comments about Bindi have serious repercussions. Viewers called O'Loughlin spiteful and hateful after her performance on ABC music quiz show Spicks and Specks. O'Loughlin described 12-year-old Bindi as a "bit creepy" before doing an over-the-top impersonation of the child star's voice. She then made a gesture indicating Bindi was crazy, before miming a face slap.
Viewers said O'Loughlin was "tasteless", "un-Australian" and a bully. Bindi was after all, "just a little girl".
Bindi may be young, but she has an important message for those of her generation— that children can make a difference when it comes to wildlife and conservation—and it's a job that she does well, if recognition and popularity are anything to go by.
At the age of eight, Bindi appeared on the front cover of the September 2006 issue of Australian magazine New Idea, making her the youngest person to do so in the magazine's 108-year history.
She excels in her pursuits, and has in fact won accolades for them. In 2008, the then nine-year-old beat Sesame Street's Elmo to win the Outstanding Performer in a Children's Series award at the Daytime Emmy Awards. The award was for her role in the ABC TV series Bindi: The Jungle Girl. That same year, she was also named Best New Female Talent at the 50th TV Week Logie Awards.
