|  | | | Australia Zoo, the late Steve Irwin’s labor of love and a legacy carried on by his family, is a great day trip from Brisbane. Nestled one hour north of Brisbane on the breathtaking Sunshine Coast, Australia Zoo spans over 100 acres and is a natural, humane home for over 1200 animals. It’s an up close and personal chance to say hi to koalas, wombats, kangaroos and other cute and cuddly Aussie animals, and the midday Wildlife Warriors Show that Steve made famous is worth a visit. |
