My Dad was such an incredible person, and you have the option of just curling up in a dark corner and letting it all go or you have the option of standing strong, sticking together and carrying on what he lived and died for. And I think that's what's so important - to be able to carry on where he left off.Collection: Dad
It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times.Collection: Strength
It's human nature that if you get 20 positive comments and one negative one, you're going to focus on the negative. We all do that. It can be something that drags you down. It's easy to get bogged down with it, but I try to concentrate on the good things.Collection: Positive

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
We live in a zoo, and we get to share all our animals with the people who come in. We really put our animals first, and then the staff, and then the visitors. The animals aren't pacing; they're all happy. When you touch an animal, it ultimately touches you.
Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.
I have the best daddy in the whole world, and I will miss him every day. When I see a crocodile, I will always think of him, and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals.
I'm trying to carry on my dad's legacy, and it is tough.
I feel like I'm nothing without wildlife. They are the stars. I feel awkward without them.
In the morning, my alarm clock is a chorus of lemurs yelling!
I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it's just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.
I guess, growing up at Australia Zoo and getting to travel all over the world, I have this great outlook on life, and that's what I hope I inspire other kids to have.
I have spent my entire life living in a zoo, which is pretty crazy. Not many kids get to say that, and it took me until I was about three years old to realize that we didn't just come to the zoo every day, that we actually lived here.
My favourite animal would probably be - probably be a dingo. Because I like how in the night you can - at the zoo, you can hear them howl and stuff like that. It's just amazing.
Give me a 15-ft. crocodile any day over a bee.
My best friend was a magpie goose, and my magpie goose would follow me around, and we'd dance in the zoo together. Then I'd be covered in mud!
I don't want Daddy's passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.
One day we were sitting in our little classroom in the middle of Australia Zoo, and Dad bursts in and says, 'OK, today we're going to go climb a mountain,' - the Glass House Mountains are about 20 minutes away - so we packed up all our math work and ran out the door and climbed Mount Tibrogargan.
Living in a zoo means it wasn't always sparkly dresses, but I would still dress up. I had this pink sparkly dress and fairy wings, and I'd put those on and then go and dance in the zoo.
They're one of - crocs and snakes are two of my favorite animals. They're so good.
We literally live right in the middle of the zoo, and it means that every day is a new experience and so much fun.
I live in a town called Beerwah, right in the middle of Australia Zoo. It's not hustle and bustle and busy, so that's helpful. We travel all over the world, but I've always been able to come home and run around in the middle of the Australian outback.
My favourite thing in the world is going out to get Chinese food, then coming home and renting a movie.
When you lose a loved one, you come to these crossroads. You can take the path that leads you down the aisle of sadness, or you can say, 'I'm never going to let this person's memory die. I'm going to make sure everything they worked for continues.'
I'm very lucky to have such a beautiful family.
You do only live once, and I feel like if I'm able to make a difference on this planet and leave it just a little better than I found it, then I've done my job.
My neighbors are crocodiles and tigers and giraffes.
I've been banking my holidays, which means I take time off later in the year. It makes it a lot easier to fit filming in; it can be quite challenging to study and film at the same time.
Every time you lose an animal, it's like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know?
I'm so lucky because I get to have all of these memories. I can have all of those pictures and different sorts of films and stuff. Some people have only one photo, and I'm really glad that I have all of that.
I love them very much. All animals big and small. You can name an ant for instance.
I'm going to be doing exactly what I'm doing now - teaching people about animals.
It's about keeping animals in our environment. They can't be on somebody's purse or shoes or something.
I really think I like poisonous snakes.
I want to make him the proudest dad to have me and I want to show everybody and nearly be as good as him because he was the best.
I'm trying to get across the message that don't be afraid of animals, they're just put on this earth to help the environment and everything like that.
My Daddy was my hero. He was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things. But most of all he was fun.
I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. He built a hospital to help animals, and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.
I'll always feel most comfortable in khaki surrounded by animals, but it is really fun to try different styles.
Tea makes everything better.
You can't jump on a croc or climb a tree if you're not in khaki, but I do like different clothes and playing around with it a bit.
I want to carry on in my dad's footsteps and make sure his message lives on forever. I feel like that's why I've been put on this planet - to get my message across.
