It honours the Irwin family, probably the closest the Sunshine Coast has to a royal family!
Steve Irwin himself died a year earlier, not because he put his head in a crocodile's mouth (which I think he did daily), but because he somehow got a stingray offside. And it stabbed him in the heart. Crikey! His children, Bindy and Robert, plus their mother Terry, have kept the show going at Australia Zoo. They're on the news frequently, and their Minyama Island mansion is one of the highlights of the Mooloolaba sightseeing boat cruises.
I can recommend a day at Australia Zoo. It's a bit kitschy, but it's also educational and definitely entertaining.
