The aviaries are home to many colourful birds including the dazzling king parrots, Major Mitchell and black cockatoos. The main aviary has a walk-in raised pathway, which leads you through the flight path of the birds.

From this height you can really appreciate the different varieties, with their detailed markings and vibrant colours.

Australia's native dog, the Dingo, will serenade you with their melodious "howl." These shy, yet inquisitive animals can often be seen emerging from their dens to greet visitors passing their enclosure.

The crocodile enclosures are home to both species of crocodile found in Australia. The Fresh and Estuarine Crocodiles can be viewed lazing in the sun one moment, and in an instant becoming ferocious predators, quickly devouring their meals during feeding times.

Kangaroos and wallabies love to greet you on your visit to the Zoo. The Agile Wallabies and Eastern Grey Kangaroos freely roam around their grass paddocks and lie leisurely in the sun, soaking up their relaxing surrounds. Keep an eye out for the gorgeous young joeys, either in the pouch or close to their mothers.

Take a stroll through our koala exhibit. The exhibit provides a rare opportunity to sneak a close-up look at these laid back animals in their natural environment.
