A source close to the Irwin family told RadarOnline.com: “Bindi’s mom, Terri, has visions of it being Australia’s version of the royal wedding, and you can bet the Australia Zoo will be the venue! “The ‘Crocoseum’ stadium within the zoo is ideal. It seats roughly 5,000 people, and a beautiful podium could easily be built over the crocodile ponds in the middle.”
