Bindi Irwin enjoys beach getaway with Chandler Powell in Hawaii

She's been back in Queensland working at Australia Zoo following her successful stint on the American version of Dancing With The Stars.

The effervescent Wildlife Warrior larked around with her American professional wakeboarder beau Chandler Powell, 19, as they tossed a tennis ball around while her brother Robert, 12, surfed.
