Australia



In the rainforest, koalas peer out from the trees and kangaroos roam the habitat.

In Victoria, birds can be seen everywhere – king parrots, blue wrens, lyrebirds, and the famous laughing kookaburra. Anteaters also roam the ground looking for food.

At Haast Bluff in the Northern Territories, visitors see the frilled lizard, an emu, and a black cockatoo. On to the Tropical Queensland Plateau, the area is frequented by brush turkeys, rainbow lorikeets, and spectacled flying foxes.

Head down under for sights of a lifetime!
