where was steve irwin born

There is some discrepancy about Steve Irwin's birthplace, but the most credited and widely accepted information is that he was born in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, Australia. This is supported by his wife Terri Irwin and several sources that list his birthplace as the William Angliss Hospital in Upper Ferntree Gully. However, some sources and his sister mention Essendon, Victoria as another possible birthplace. Despite this, Upper Ferntree Gully is commonly recognized as his birthplace.
