On the Queensland Sunshine Coast of Australia, lies the Australia Zoo. Sitting on about forty-five acres of verdant rainforest amidst the surrounding area of the Sunshine Coast and the Glass House Mountains scenery, the Australian Zoo is the abode of conservation which lives through inspiring education. More than seven-hundred-fifty exotic and local animals rescued including reptiles such as crocodiles, has made the Australia Zoo its home. The Australia Zoo goes way back in 1970 for its beginnings, when Bob and Lyn Irwin, the parents of the famed Discovery Channel’s “Crocodile Hunter”, Steve Irwin, decided to create a sanctuary for wildlife. That time, their home just became too small for a family of five and the gathered saved reptiles, prompting them to move to Sunshine Coast, and buying four-acres of land where they started the “Beerwah Reptile Park”; entrance rates were at fifty cents for adults and five cents for children.
