Australia Zoo
A zoo run by the family of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, featuring crocodile arena shows, koala photo opportunities and kangaroo feeding.
Australia Zoo is in Beerwah, about one hour's drive from Noosa. It was founded by Steve Irwin's parents and is still run by the Irwin family. The most popular attraction is the wildlife warrior show at the Crocoseum at midday, where handlers feed crocodiles in front of the crowd, and there are also bird flying displays. You can have your photo taken with a koala (for an extra fee) and feed kangaroos. The zoo also has wombats, Tasmanian devils, tigers and rhinos. The grounds are large, so plan to spend a full day. Check the official website for admission prices.
