Discover the most extraordinary wildlife adventure when you visit Australia Zoo. Their spectacular and expansive gardens provide a sanctuary for wildlife from Australia and around the world.
In 1991, Steve took over the management of the small wildlife park and, not long after, he met Terri Raines, from Eugene, Oregon, when she visited the park. Steve’s passion for reptiles was matched by Terri’s love for predatory mammals. The two were very much kindred spirits.
Their lives changed dramatically when, on the 4th June 1992, Steve and Terri married, beginning a life of adventure.
Instead of a honeymoon, the couple took the chance to embark on a crocodile rescue mission, filming this experience. This became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter documentary series.
As the popularity of The Crocodile Hunter grew, Steve and Terri changed the name of their now growing wildlife park to ‘Australia Zoo’. Their mission was to make this zoo the very best in Australia, if not the world! Extensive efforts were made to create habitats, so that all zoo animals could be exhibited in natural environments.
Experience conservation through exciting education, immerse yourself in the interactive wildlife habitats, indulge in delicious cuisine, explore their gift shops for exclusive ranges, and delight in their daily wildlife presentations. Australia Zoo is where dreams come true. Expat Choice recommends you to visit this beloved zoo to pay homage to the legendary Steve Irwin. Image Credit: Australia Zoo Facebook Page
