WHAT do you remember of your fifth birthday?

Probably not too much – but it's a fair bet that mum, dad, a couple of aunties and a handful of pre-school mates were on hand.

Which is not quite the same scale as Robert Irwin's fifth birthday celebrations at Australia Zoo yesterday.

Along with a packed Crocoseum, Robert shared his day with the Bananas in Pyjamas, Postman Pat and Spot.

Santa also made an early visit to the Coast, dropping in to wish Robert a happy birthday and help feed the crocs in the Crocoseum show.

Baby Bob doesn't exactly fit the “baby” tag anymore, but he is obviously still mum's boy. He planted a quick kiss on Terri's cheek when his cake-cutting touched bottom in front of the bumper crowd in the Crocoseum yesterday morning.

It was either mum or Bindi – and all five-year-old boys know the risks of girl-germs.

The croc-hunting trio is set for a state-side white Christmas, visiting Terri's elderly mother.
