Brian’s wish was to have a family day out, and what better place to do it than at Australia Zoo.  

Years ago, Brian met Steve Irwin while supplying the materials that helped build many of the zoo’s animal enclosures. This wish meant that he could see the spaces he once helped create, this time not as a businessman, but as a proud admirer sharing the moment with his family.  

 A lot of Brian’s family was there with him, from children to great-grandchildren, exploring the zoo with immense joy. Along with the popularity of zebras, giraffes, and rhinos, Brian’s wheelchair was one of the main attractions for the great-grandkids, offering free rides to each enclosure.
