Dallin was the biggest Steve Irwin fan there ever was. When Steve died in 2006 it was a very sad time in our house. Dallin had most of Steve's Croc Hunter shows memorised. He would act them out with incredible realism. He simply couldn't get enough of Steve Irwin. So even all these years later it was no question that we would make the trip to visit Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. No matter the hassle involved in getting there, we were going to go. We had to add an extra flight to Brisbane to make this happen, but it was worth it! We spent two wonderful nights in the mountains of Queensland and one unforgettable day at the Australia Zoo.

Visiting the Steve Irwin exhibits, a real trip down memory lane!
Incredible how open and hands-on this zoo is
In the famous Crocoseum
Feeding the kangaroos in the roo enclosure at the zoo was an amazing interactive experience. So neat!
I had booked a special koala experience just for our family. The kids loved getting to hold the koala. Perfectly Australian!
