The Adventures in Australia: So Outback!

The adventure inside will definitely take you to the outback of South Australia for a moment. Here's why.

To give guests the realistic experience, the exhibit is climate-controlled to match the temperature and humidity during different seasons in South Australia.  It also has an illuminated combination of natural and LED lights to simulate the hours of the day.  The attraction features extensive use of recycled timber and wide range of environmentally friendly materials, equipments and designs.

Most of all, SILENCE is appreciated. No loud talking is allowed so not to disturb the Aussie animals.

As soon as you walk in, the eucalyptus smell will relax your mind.  The den was full of it because koalas eat it. The koalas looked so cute.  It was so still. It was so clingy on the tree. I think it observes people too.

The three famous fuzzy koalas were Yani (female) who has a heart-shaped face, grey-spotted nose and white fur below her right eye, Dougie (male) with a darker coat and Merinda (female) with round face and white spot under her left eye. 

Walking on, you will notice the hopping red-necked wallabies. They have reddish fur on their napes and shoulders. They are the marsupial cousins of kangaroo.

This one is a white wallabie.  It looked like a huge rodent for me. hahaha. But we enjoyed seeing it hopping.

Then you can also enjoy the humanlike chuckle-sound done the kookaburras. They can be seen flying freely throughout the exhibit.  

Before we exited the attraction, we had the opportunity to learn about the common environmental challenges faced by Hongkong and South Australia.  We also explored the eco-tourism destinations in South Australia set-up on the backdrops of a panoramic view of Adelaide's beautiful skyline.

enjoy this!
