One of the major attractions in Brisbane is the Australia Zoo. It was created by the late Steve Irwin, a pioneer in providing real wildlife action and adventure. The zoo is spread over 70 acres of natural Australian bush-land and provides a wildlife experience second to none. Visitors to the zoo can experience patting a baby alligator, a cuddly Koala or a naughty wombat.

One other major attraction of Brisbane is an evening dinner show called Australian Outback Spectacular. It is presented by renowned R.M. Williams. It provides a great insight into the Australian outback lifestyle with outback music, drama and action. It accommodates approximately a thousand visitors every night from Tuesday to Sunday.
