“If you can rock the khaki and channel the best kind of Aussie energy, come along for a Robert Irwin lookalike contest to welcome our Sunshine Coast icon back home from his travels,” an Instagram post explains.

Fans shared their excitement, with one joking, “Robert i really need you to confirm are you coming there I’ll book my ticket right now.”

Another person called it, “The most Aussie competition ever.”

Parents are eager to join too, “Ok but can kids enter? I have a son that is Robert bowl cut era, jumps ‘crocs’ and all check out my pinned reel,” a mom asked.
