Our Animals
Here at Australia Zoo we just love animals - from the tiniest lizard to the biggest elephant! Australia Zoo is a great environment for our animals - it provides not only a haven for our collection of over one hundred different species including Steve's favourites the Crocodile, Asian Elephant, Tiger and Cheetah, but is also a great platform for those same animals to act as ambassadors for their cousins in the wild, giving Australia Zoo the ability to educate the world about animal conservation and increase the chances of protecting all wildlife.

Harriet
Harriet the Giant Galapagos Land Tortoise was a friend to all at Australia Zoo, a cherished member of the Sunshine Coast community, a respected long-time Queenslander and a treasure of the international conservation world. Her remarkable history has been a point of fascination and extensive research for many years, and generations of Australians have known and loved this extraordinary old lady.
