Terri Irwin Invites Americans to Come See Her Adopted Country and Australia Zoo

By Rudy Socha

Lorain, OH - If Americans think their country is diverse, wait until they see and experience Australia. Australia will transform Americans from ordinary tourists to experience and knowledge seekers. In Australia there are many beautiful sights, unique sounds, and tantalizing smells not found anywhere else on the planet.

When visiting Australia there are eight key areas that every family should incorporate into their experience:

- Aboriginal Australia;
- Nature in Australia;
- Outback Australia;
- Aussie Coastal Lifestyle;
- Food and Wine;
- Major Australian Cities:
- Australian Journeys; and
-Australia Zoo and The Legacy of “Crocodile Hunter”. 

Australia Zoo is about crocs and the legacy of “Crocodile Hunter” but it also contains many other species representing the diversity of Australian and international wildlife. Australia Zoo started as a 4 acre reptile zoo park by Bob and Lyn Irwin. In the 90’s Terri and Steve transformed it into what has become a first class world renown zoological park.

Australia 's premier wildlife attraction keeps getting bigger and better! With over one thousand native and exotic animals, an army of Wildlife Warriors, an action-packed 24-hour wildlife hospital, and one amazingly adventurous Irwin family, there is NEVER a dull moment at Australia Zoo.
The dynamic nature of the Zoo, coupled with the vision of Steve Irwin and the driving force of Terri Irwin, creates a wildlife experience like no other. There is a constant excitement at Australia Zoo that comes from a steady flow of all things new, different, and improved. No matter how many times you walk through the gates, every visit is unique.
The crew packs in stacks of wildlife action every day – there are always plenty of exciting wildlife shows to see, friendly and knowledgeable zoo keepers to chat with, and heaps of drop-dead gorgeous animals that can't wait to get up close and personal with YOU! If you've ever wanted to cuddle a koala, hand-feed an Asian Elephant, walk alongside a Bengal Tiger, wrap a snake around your shoulders, or watch a massive Saltwater Crocodile launch a strike from the water's edge, then Australia Zoo is your ultimate destination.
Set over sixty acres, Australia Zoo is a tropical oasis amid beautiful natural bush land on Queensland 's Sunshine Coast . As well as the lush greenery and well-maintained gardens, the most striking attributes of Australia Zoo are the adventurous, spacious and artistic enclosure designs seen throughout. The newly created Tiger Temple, built to resemble the famous Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia, is a work of art as well as an architectural first – Tiger Temple boasts the southern hemisphere's only underwater viewing of tigers and cheetahs.
Australia Zoo aims to be the world's leading zoological destination, and its motto of Conservation through Exciting Education is manifest in every aspect of Zoo life. From the moment you arrive and are introduced to an endangered Tasmanian Devil or colorful macaw, to the thrill of seeing your first crocodile strike or the unparalleled feeling when an elephant takes a piece of fruit from your outstretched hand. Australia Zoo is in the business of making connections between humans and animals. They are helping to forge not only an understanding, but a deep and genuine passion for our precious wildlife in people of all ages and backgrounds.
The fascinating thing about Australia Zoo is that while the tiniest of children are experiencing their first contact with wildlife, on the other end of the spectrum there are seasoned veterinarians and vet nurses at the Australian Wildlife Hospital who have dedicated their lives to saving sick, injured and orphaned animals. To see these two extremes side by side is the best reinforcement of the Conservation through Exciting Education philosophy – every Wildlife Warrior started out with that first touch.
Every day at Australia Zoo is an adventure, and you never know who or what you'll meet. The atmosphere is charged with a uniquely Australian energy that finds it roots in the fearlessness and passion of the world's original Wildlife Warriors, Steve and Terri Irwin. From the design and construction of each new enclosure to the day-to-day running of the Zoo and the development of animal interaction opportunities for visitors, the Irwins' solid foundation has created an exciting, educational and fun experience for each and every visitor.

Terri wants everyone to experience the land down under that is filled with excitement and beauty unlike any place else on this planet. The length of time it takes Americans to travel to Australia is long, but a trip there is more than well worth the effort, it is a life altering experience.
