Icon that turned 40 this year is Big Pineapple

Actually, I think you're right, Peppermint.  Australia Zoo opened on June 3rd 1970, so turned 41 this year.  An easy mistake, because when you google 'Aussie icon turning 40', you get 'Australia Zoo turns 40' coming up, but it must be an old post.  I got it wrong, too, Helga22!
