Terri fell in love with the truest and bluest Aussie that ever lived. Her honeymoon was spent jumping crocs, setting traps and camping out under the stars of Steve's beloved country. It wasn't long before Terri too, fell in love with the rich, rare beauty of Australia!
On Steve Irwin Day 2009, as wildlife warriors around the world stopped to remember the one and only Crocodile Hunter, Terri took to the stage in the Crocoseum to officially become a proud Aussie citizen!
In front of a sea of khaki, Terri pledged her allegiance to the country she has called home for almost 20 years. To top it off, Bindi and Robert joined Terri on stage to sing Advance Australia Fair for their true-blue Aussie mum. Wooo-hoo!
The ceremony was a ripper start to the celebrations at Australia Zoo where thousands turned out in Khaki to enjoy the many things Stevo was passionate about: FAMILY, WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, FUN and KHAKI!
Congratulations Terri. You were always a Aussie to me. Thankyou for everything you do. Your the best mum. Steve would and is proud of you. So is all of Australia.

Yes I watched your entire honeymoon and to this day tell people about your "Bus_man's holiday" Terri and everything after that too. I learned so much from your True Blue Aussie Terri and cried so hard when I returned from a trip over the Labor Day holiday and found out that we lost Steve, yes he belonged to all of us my dear, and we love you and the kids more than you will ever know as you have touched all of our lives.

Congrats Terri! You are an awesome woman, Mom, WL-Warrior, and inspiration! I'm glad to see you chasing and achieving your dreams- Australia is lucky to have you. Just this year I sent a puppy to Australia and she also is LOVING her new country! I am very jealous of both of you! Enjoy and Croc-on!!!

I am hoping that Terri Irwin now has DUAL citizenship (like my daughters do who live in Australia), both in the United States and in Australia. Can someone confirm this?

Congratulations Terri Steve would be so proud. You are all doing such a wonderful job. We love to watch all the Crocodile hunter programms over here in the UK. It would be lovely to see how you are all doing now and see all the work that is still carring on. Kind regards Sally xx
