Tiger leaping into water after the toy!

Steve started to become a bit of a celebrity himself in 1992 when he was asked to star in a soft drinks commercial. In this year he also met Terri, who was shortly to become his wife, and begin catching snakes in the bush! As soon as they were married, Steve’s mum and dad handed the park over to them. Steve’s crocodile demonstrations were being touted as the greatest wildlife event in history and people were flocking to see them.
Soon, they had to buy out the avocado farm next door just to build a car park.
In the same year, 1992, the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park became ‘Australia Zoo’…. And they haven’t looked back!
