In the wake of his recent Mirrorball-winning stint<\/a> on Dancing With The stars<\/a>, Aussie conservationist Robert Irwin<\/a> has officially solidified himself as a household name.<\/p>\n

The spitting image of late father Steve Irwin<\/a> and exuding equal amounts of charisma, the rising star appears to be on a roll.<\/p>\n

So as he rides out the momentum of his international exposure, what is next for the wildlife warrior?<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Robert will be using the summer season to return to his roots, focusing the bulk of his energy on the conservation work<\/a> he’s best known for.<\/p>\n

During this time, he’s also set to be revisiting a “passion project” over three years in the making\ufeff.<\/p>\n

The Crocodile Hunter’s<\/a> only son spearheaded the development of “a unique overnight experience” in his honour \u2013 aptly named The Crocodile Hunter Lodge.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2022, the lodge is nestled in native bushland just a 60-minute drive north of Brisbane.<\/p>\n

“With an unwavering passion to protect wildlife and wild places, Steve envisioned a unique overnight experience for guests,” the Crocodile Hunter Lodge website<\/a> states.<\/p>\n

“It has been quite the passion project that we’ve been working on,” he said, adding that the venue is “a way to really properly welcome everyone to our home.”\ufeff<\/p>\n

“Honestly, we wanted to create something so that everybody could have a proper home away from home<\/a> when you visit us.”<\/p>\n

Robert will be continuing his work at the lodge over the next few months, until he makes an appearance on his next reality show<\/a> early next year.<\/p>\n

But this time, he’s trading in his dancing shoes, and stepping into the role of host.<\/p>\n
