I have a lot of stuff going on in the "real world" and also on my other sites, so I won't be having much time to work on this site for the next few weeks.
I will still be doing the Bindi's Hairstyles page this weekend, but after that I won't be making any more new pages for a while.
I will check in when I can, but I probably won't be on every day like I have been... which is why this site is on open hiatus; I am taking a break, but the site will still be open so people can use the forums, post news, etc. But just don't expect a response from me.
Fan Week will still happen (I will still make the video as planned), and the Steve mini-site will launch as planned.
As for the Media Project, you can start emailing me links to videos/interviews up to 2006. I know I haven't added the videos yet, but after Fan Week is over I should have time to add everything in.
If you have any suggestions for new fun pages, the VIP section (aka Bindi's Birthday countdown), etc., please use the Suggestion Box from now on. (Fan Week suggestions should still go in the comments section of the last Fan Week news item.)
Thanks,
Stephanie

Thanks to a new suggestion from BambiIL, we will be opening a new Fan Fun page soon, called "Bindi's Hairstyles."
Bindi always has different hairstyles like Long hair, long pigtails, ponytail, sometimes a little bit shorter hair then long, braids, and more :)
Please send in your favourite pictures of Bindi with different hairstyles to webmaster@bindi-irwin.com by the end of the week. I will try to make the Bindi's Hairstyles page over the weekend.
According to the zoo, Bindi's Bootcamp is set to air this March. An Airdate has not been released yet, but the Zoo will frequently keep us up to date.
Also, the show will only be airing in Australia, however, the Fremantile Media group will try to air it in many places as possible as time goes by.

Australia Zoo voted Best Attraction & Best Eco Holiday!
The results are in. Australia Zoo has been voted the Best Attraction and Best Eco Holiday in the 2012 Best of Australian Travel People's Choice Awards, featured in Out & About With Kids magazine.
Voters were impressed by our gorgeous animals and awesome animal encounters, especially the chance to see Savannah the baby white rhino in our new Africa exhibit, as well as the incredible life-saving work done at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.
The zoo's motto of "Conservation through exciting education" seems to be ringing true, with voters thrilled at the chance to get hands on with the animals and learn more about what they can do to protect their wild cousins.
Our region's beautiful beaches and hinterland also made an appearance in the awards, with the Sunshine Coast named a finalist for Best Destination.
A massive thank you to everyone who voted! For a full list of winners and finalists, visit the Out & About With Kids website.
