Robert Irwin's favourite Aussie holiday spot
Robert Irwin is a Queenslander through and through, and despite all the attractions and things to do in his hometown, the young conservationist is surprisingly a huge fan of Tasmania.
When asked what his favourite destination was, Irwin said that it was a "very tough question" but narrowed it down to two spots: North Queensland and Tasmania.
“I know what you’re thinking – two of the most polar opposite places, but they both have such rugged and raw natural beauty,” Irwin told news.com.au.
He added that Cradle Mountain, one of Tasmania's most iconic sights is one of his favourite spots and that it is a must-see destination.
“I also enjoy the Tasman Peninsula, Launceston, Swansea and the stunning Tarkine Wilderness just to name a few spots.”
In North Queensland, he lives up to his role as the son of 'The Crocodile Hunter' as he loves exploring the mangroves and estuaries.
“At a good distance away from the water’s edge of course,” he added.
“Surprisingly, Cairns also has some top-notch mountain biking, so if you love an adrenaline hit, it has got you covered.”
Irwin added that all Aussies need to explore the far north and far south at least once in their lives.
“To sum it all up, Tasmania has Tassie devils, and North Queensland has crocs. What more do you need,” he said.
The young conservationist will soon be heading to South Africa to film the newest season of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! as he replaced Dr Chris Brown as a co-host for the show.
He shared that he will definitely bring his own camera.
“We have supported wildlife conservation efforts there for many years and have spent so much time photographing the unique wildlife of South Africa,” he said.
“My new I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! hosting role will definitely give me the opportunity to further pursue my passion for photography.”
