The very fact that Swazi and Ganini are even at Australia Zoo is evidence that Steve Irwin’s legacy continues.

The pair of white rhinos are not on public display, and if following Steve’s 10-year plan for the zoo, shouldn’t even be in the country.

But the fact that things are so far ahead of schedule is a testament to Steve’s ambition, Terri said yesterday.

“Things are coming forward quite rapidly – (the rhinos) were towards the end of the 10-year plan, so we’re ahead of schedule by a few years and hopefully can keep it that way,” Terri said.

“We are taking a page out of Steve’s book. He was always in a hurry.”

The rhinos were used to launch Steve Irwin Day celebrations scheduled for November 15, a day to celebrate Steve’s many passions – family, wildlife, conservation, and of course, fun.

Visitors wearing khaki will receive 10% off their admission price – and a free gift – with the zoo opening an hour early at 8am.
