Australia Zoo is a 700-acre zoo located in the Australian state of Queensland on the Sunshine Coast near Beerwah/Glass House Mountains.

It's the Irwins made the zoo a popular tourist attraction.

Australia Zoo was opened by Bob and Lyn Irwin on 3 June 1970 under the name Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park. Their son Steve had helped his parents since childhood to care for crocodiles and reptiles and to maintain the growing number of animals in the zoo. In 1982 the park was renamed the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park and the area was doubled with the purchase of another 4 acres.
