Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Is the Zoo Rulekeeper — & Her List of Dos & Don'ts Has Us Cackling
Bindi's mom (and Grace's 'Bunny') Terri Irwin shared a picture of her granddaughter, holding up the hand-drawn list of 'rules of Australia Zoo' on a green piece of paper. Number 1: 'Don't eat the crocodiles *unless it's a chocolate crocodile.' Hey, you never know what might tempt some people!

Number 2: 'Don't lick the plants.' Um…yes, this is definitely a rule only a toddler would think of (and a toddler would ignore too!).
Other rules include 'don't make people or animals sad' (aw!) and 'don't share food with strangers.' Finally — and most importantly — 'have fun!' Grace even drew the numbers and some other random squiggles on the page, as she holds it up proudly for the camera. She is too cute!
'The future of @australiazoo is in excellent hands! 💕' Terri captioned the post.
'Don't lick the plants has me crying 😂😂,' one person wrote. Someone else said, 'As a zookeeper who has had to provide first aid for a kid that ate a plant I concur that this rule is important 😆😆 less sure about sharing food tho, tehehe.'
Ever since she was little, Grace has taken her zoo responsibilities seriously. Like once when she was 2, Grace joined her parents for a zoo staff meeting. 'Grace requested to come to our #AustraliaZoo staff meeting with us and gave a fabulous update on koalas. 🐨' Bindi wrote on Instagram. 'She's also been saying 'thank you for your hard work' to everyone since the meeting and it makes us laugh every time.'
'I love getting to share life with Grace and I feel so lucky to be her mama. ❤️' she added.
In the video, Grace hangs out in her mom's arms at the crocoseum to chat with staff and thank them for all they do. Later, Bindi says to staff: 'To be honest, it's Grace who runs the zoo and makes all the big decisions.' We knew it! With Grace in charge, everyone will be nice to each other and the animals (and all the plants will remain lick-free!).Best of SheKnows

Classic hobby set to disappear as Australia goes cashless
For generations, savvy young Aussies have delighted in searching for lost coins and using them to buy little things like a haul of lollies, a feed of fish and chips, or a brand new Star Wars figurine. The best places were traditionally footy grounds at the end of a weekend game, festivals or beaches after a hot summer's day. Prospector Angus James loved finding old change as a kid, and now he works full-time searching for gold and other treasures. He still likes to take his own two children out looking for lost 20-cent pieces and the odd $2 coin, but finding any newly lost change is becoming rare. The reason is a simple one — people seldom carry cash in Australia these days. Around 30 years ago, when Angus was young, he'd head to empty paddocks after a festival and take home at least $200. 'Now, when people go out and do it, they'd be lucky to find $5 each. Everything is cashless, so it's making it hard to find the $1 and $2 coins,' he said. Related: Aussie prospector reveals secret maps to find fortune When Angus goes to footy ovals that have been in use for generations, he often finds pre-decimal currency under trees. People would sit down to have a rest in the shade and lose a coin or two. Gold rush-era campsites are another great place to find old treasures, and he regularly shares his finds on his Gold Coins and Relics Australia social media page. Last month, Angus even found an old Mexican reales coin, often referred to as 'pieces of eight' or silver dollars, and associated with pirate folklore. Little-known rule about old Australian coins The Royal Australian Mint told Yahoo News it's impossible to know how many old coins have been lost. While you're less likely to come across a newer coin lost in the grass, there's a little-known rule about pre-decimal currency that's still in place. 'Pre-decimal Australian currency can be exchanged for its face value at most commercial banks,' a Mint spokesperson told Yahoo. 😳 Strange backyard phenomenon worsens in tropical Australia ✈️ Rare animals were placed in backpacks and flown 570km to secure location 🎞️ Incredible Australian footage reveals native predator killing city rats Finding old coins isn't just about finding something of value. Many of the coins Angus unearths are relatively worthless, but they tell a story about early Australia and the people who lived here. 'Searching for newer coins is a bit of a lost cause. The good thing about finding old coins is you get a date, and you can have a think back to what it was like then,' he said. 'Now, you just don't get that history with dropped coins.'

Justin Hartley's ‘Tracker' Costar Praises Him After Multiple Cast Exits: ‘A Real Captain of That Ship'
Working on Justin Hartley's hit series Tracker has left quite an impression on one of the show's guest stars. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Hallmark's Lachlan Quarmby recalled his guest appearance in season 1, saying, "Justin is awesome. He's straight in there. He's a real captain of that ship. That was a great time." Quarmby, who was promoting his Hallmark trilogy, Providence Falls, walked away from the hit CBS series with a very positive experience. "I got to do an Australian accent. I was told when I was at acting school in Australia that I'd never play a surfer since I just don't have the look. And I got to play a surfer in Vancouver, who was Australian," he noted. "That was so fun." Most Iconic Guest Stars From Justin Hartley's 'Tracker' Series: Sofia Pernas, Jensen Ackles and More Since Tracker premiered in February 2024, viewers have tuned in week after week to see fictional survivalist Colter Shaw (Hartley) travel the country to help solve various missing persons cases. As Colter has gotten help, the ensemble cast has grown with characters such as handlers Teddi (Robin Weigert) and Velma (Abby McEnany), hacker Bobby (Eric Graise) and attorney Reenie (Fiona Rene). Darko Sikman/CBS The procedural's case of the weak format means the show is always introducing new faces. Fans were surprised when executive producer Elwood Reid hinted at an onscreen reconfiguration before season 3. "I don't want the show to be phone-a-friend every week. I think that gets old, and Justin is always challenging me on that. He's like, 'Do we need to do this? Do I need to call Bobby all the time? Can I do this?'" Reid exclusively told Us in May. "You don't [always] see Reenie. He talks to Velma for two seconds. He may talk to Bobby for one phone call. The show works because you are over Justin's shoulder." Weigert, McEnany and Graise have all left Tracker in the first two seasons. Hartley, 48, has still struck gold with a wide variety of guest stars who keep returning including Jensen Ackles, Hartley's wife, Sofia Pernas, Melissa Roxburgh and Jennifer Morrison. Why Did Justin Hartley's 'Tracker' Lose 3 Main Characters Before Season 3? Cast Reconfiguration Explained While Quarmby was only brought in for one episode, he has remained booked and busy with projects such as Hallmark's Providence Falls. The three-part movie event is based on the book series by Jude Deveraux set in 1844 Ireland. In addition to Quarmby, Providence Falls stars Katie Stevens and Evan Roderick. 'The character was already so fun right off the bat that from a personal point of view, it seemed really cool," Quarmby told Us. "But then to just see how much love was getting poured into the project from the top down, it was just a no brainer.' Providence Falls' three-part event premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, August 2, at 8 p.m. ET with Providence Falls: Chance of a Lifetime. Providence Falls: An Impossible Promise premieres on Saturday, August 9, and Providence Falls: Thief of Fate on Saturday, August 16, both at 8 p.m. ET. Solve the daily Crossword
