The adorable koala, the 50lb wombat (we decided it's arse represents 50% of its mass) and the kangaroo all were on display for us. Also we were lucky enough to see a platypus swimming in its pond unfortunately it was in a room that was extremely dark making photography impossible. The platypus has to be one of the most unlikely animals that exists and a real quirk of evolution - furry, venomous, otter footed, beaver tailed, electroreception, duck billed, lays eggs, young feed on milk, has a pouch.
Here's one animal that wasn't native to the continent but figured ought to get a mention. The superb sumatran tiger. Utterly majestic but sadly so threatened. This picture seemed more appropriate somehow than the beast itself.
