The Steve Irwin Gala celebrates everything the original Wildlife Warrior was most passionate about –
Family, Conservation and Fun
On November 9, we invite you to celebrate the extraordinary life of the one and only Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, and over 20 years of conservation through Wildlife Warriors at our annual Brisbane event. We are thrilled to announce that this year, we'll be moving to The Star Brisbane, adding a touch of excitement and glamour to the festivities. Guests are treated to a scrumptious three-course dinner and a night of wild fun and dancing with roving animals, entertainers, guest speakers and a live auction. In a khaki-decked ballroom, surrounded by fellow Wildlife Warriors, it’s a remarkable night honouring one extraordinary man.
Be part of our Wildlife Warriors family as we follow Steve’s legacy.
