Crikey! Bindi Irwin is turning 11 on 24 July, and Australia Zoo is going glamorous for the occasion, throwing a Masquerade party fit for a Wildlife Warrior princess.
To help Bindi celebrate, Australia Zoo is inviting all kids 14 years and under to come along FREE on the day, with all of the glamour set to start at the extra early time of 8am!
The glamour won't get in the way of the fun though, with a massive ballroom and free dance lessons sure to get the kids into the swing of things.
Even Australian Idol favourite, Jessica Mauboy, is coming to the party for a very special Bindi's Birthday performance! That's right - just before she joins Beyonce on her Australian tour, you can see Jessica Mauboy perform in the Crocoseum, and then meet her and get her autograph!
The former Idol contestant is excited to be performing at Australia Zoo, and is looking forward to a FUN performance, which will include four of her hits, and her soon to be released single, Up Down, as part of the celebration.
"I am going to help Bindi have a brilliant party and create a very unique and special day to remember," said Jessica
The pop star also expressed her appreciation for Bindi and Australia Zoo's efforts towards wildlife conservation.
"I know that Australia Zoo is very special in giving animals a living experience as close to their natural habitat as possible," said Jessica.
"I really admire that Bindi wants to follow her father in teaching people to protect and preserve animals."
The birthday girl herself is very excited about celebrating her birthday in style with the pop star.
"This is so exciting! To have Jessica Mauboy come to my birthday and sing in the Crocoseum is so beaut bonza!" said Bindi.
"I love having my birthday at Australia Zoo. It's a day I get to share with everybody and say G'Day!"
Be sure to join in singing Bindi a happy birthday as she cuts her cake, and then get your very own piece!
