US ENVIRONMENTAL crusader Erin Brockovich is to help Bindi Irwin save "Steve's Place" and unearth a swag of environmental disasters on Australian soil.

The famous blonde, whose activist work was thrown into the spotlight after Julia Roberts portrayed her in movie, is teaming up with an Aussie law firm to stop mining giant Cape Alumina from excavating a Cape York site - known by some as "Steve's Place" after the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin.

Brockovich, who is currently in Brisbane, joins others including Russell Crowe .
