Steve Irwin, CRIKEY I'm moving near Dreamworld

[Obstructure]

Not sure how true this is but I heard a rumour (or should i say read) that crikey has bought himself some land in Coomera, just down the road from Dreamworld, and is looking in the future to build another Australia Zoo there. Anyone else heard this?

Not exactly new news, but it hasn't been discussed here before. Last I remember there were plans to keep the Caloundra park operating, and open a theme park themed to Crocodile Hunter (rather than being a wildlife park as Australia Zoo is) in Brisbane, out at the Boondall Wetlands.

Ah yes, but then again it makes you wonder what is going on behind closed doors. Admittedly the Gold Coast is due for a new attraction, but somewhere that is more in need of that type of attraction is Brisbane, so perhaps the Boondall idea would be more beneficial for Crikey, rather than competing with the other Gold Coast attractions that are animal themed like Dreamworld, Sea World and Currumbin.

Apparently the Zoo recently bought more land in Coloundra, with plans to turn it 'into the best zoo in the world' (Source, some newspaper clipping on display at the zoo).
