About this audio guide
This guide to Australia Zoo in Beerwah, near Brisbane, traces how a two-acre reptile park started by Bob and Lyn Irwin in nineteen seventy grew into the sprawling wildlife park you are standing in. It follows their son Steve from boyhood crocodile wrangling into an unlikely television star, and the honeymoon footage that became The Crocodile Hunter. You will hear how his on-camera persona reshaped the zoo around him. Listen from the entrance plaza, where the growth is easiest to picture.
