The daughter of the late Steve 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin shared a short video of her leaping into the water from a significant height, fully clothed in her Australia Zoo khakis. 

Blowing a kiss to the camera, the teen waved and said 'bye' before leaping feet first into the water, only to resurface moments later waving for the camera again. 

In the caption, she wrote: 'Best afternoon with rope swings & waterfalls & amazing people,' as she tagged in 30-year-old Derek and Luke Reavley, who accompanied her to the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards on Wednesday. 

Believed to be taken at Gardners Falls about 45km west of the Sunshine Coast, the video has so far garnered over 71,000 likes.
