Meet the wildlife superstars in Beerwah, the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland and home to Australia Zoo—the world’s most famous wildlife conservation park founded by Steve Irwin, where visitors can get up-close with crocodiles in the famous Crocoseum show, cuddle koalas, hand-feed kangaroos, watch tiger and cheetah encounters, and explore the massive zoo grounds with its conservation-focused exhibits, wildlife hospital tours, and the iconic “Croc 1” helicopter—all in an immersive, family-loved experience that educates and inspires. Beyond the zoo, Beerwah offers peaceful countryside escapes with scenic drives through rolling green hills, nearby Glass House Mountains lookout points for panoramic views, and easy access to the Sunshine Coast beaches (just 20 minutes to Caloundra or Mooloolaba), making it a perfect base for families seeking both thrilling wildlife adventures and relaxed Queensland hospitality.
Savor fresh Queensland prawns, hearty Aussie meat pies, sweet mango smoothies from local orchards, and chilled XXXX Gold beer amid kangaroo hops, crocodile roars, and the unmistakable joy of a town that feels like the real-life spirit of Australia Zoo.
Beerwah isn’t just a destination—it’s the Sunshine Coast’s most magical wildlife wonderland and family adventure hub—plan your Beerwah escape today!
