They should call it Steve Irwin Park

An even better idea is to name it in the style of local Traditional Owners, like Karenggapa and Parundji. That's what they've done with surrounding national parks.

Yes makes sense. Maybe something smaller then, like Irwin bridge or road to commemorate his efforts at conservationism.

Who did they buy the land from? The article doesn't say.

It used to be a sheep and cattle station called Thurloo Downs they bought from a farmer called Peter Hughes. I believe he owns the largest privately owned Wagyu cattle business in the world.
