Bindi Irwin has revealed where she will be tying the knot with her American fiance Chandler Powell.
Irwin, who recently turned 21, told followers on her Instagram account that she and Powell were already planning their wedding.
She said they were in “full swing” and it had been an “amazing whirlwind”.
She confirmed they were looking forward to celebrating their nuptials at the place they live and work — Australia Zoo.
She also said the day would be filled with close family, friends — and animals.
In the Instagram post, she said: “Wedding planning is in full swing for us and it has been an amazing whirlwind.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating our wedding day next year at Australia Zoo.
“Of course the day will be filled with family, friends and lots of gorgeous animals (koala cuddles are a must)!”
Irwin then called out to her followers for any wedding advice.
“Do you have wonderful wedding planning advice? I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas. Hugs from us both xx,” she wrote.
One fan suggested: “Instead of people bringing gifts for you both, maybe have them make some donations to wildlife.”
Another wrote: “Pop some Go Pros on some of the animals (safely obviously) and film their perspective of the day.”
Irwin has already confirmed her brother Robert will walk her down the aisle on the day.
The announcement of the wedding venue comes after Bindi announced her engagement to Powell, who she declared as being the “love of her life” on her 21st birthday in July.
Days after Powell popped the question, Irwin revealed her brother Robert, who is a keen photographer, took photos of Powell’s wedding proposal to Irwin, so they could cherish the moment forever.
