Animals join in true-blue celebration!

Crikey! Australia Zoo's wildlife took part in the Australia Day celebrations today, with the famous Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors show in the Crocoseum being kicked off by Elephants waving the Australian flag!

Australia Zoo's three gorgeous Asian Elephants, Siam, Sabu and Bimbo, waved the Australian flag with their trunks as they lead the celebrations, following a ripper performance by the legendary John Williamson.

In his traditional Australia Day performance at Australia Zoo, John led the Crocoseum's crowd in singing the National Anthem, plus belted out popular favourite True Blue. John's hour-long performance warmed the crowd up for all the slithering, swooping, jaw dropping action of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors show!

Australia Zoo opened gates at the early time of 8am, putting on free Aussie tucker for the early birds, including damper, billy tea and lamingtons. There was STACKS of family fun, with the slippery Vegemite-thong race and sack race, as well as rides and face painting for the ankle-biters. Crowds were also treated to performances throughout the day by traditional dance group the Gubbi Gubbi.

It was a you-beaut Australia Day at Australia Zoo, where Crocs Rule!
