Australia, the island continent, where most of the mammals have pouches (marsupials) and some lay eggs (monotremes). The great grasslands fringing the arid interior, now largely taken over by farmland, were once home to vast numbers of kangaroos and wallabies, equivalent to the antelopes of the African plains, while the many temporary and permanent lakes and rivers support numerous waterfowl and waders.

In this part of the Curraghs Wildlife Park, you can see representative examples of Australian wildlife; red-necked and parma wallabies, emus, roseate cockatoos and cockatiels, kookaburras, straw-necked and Australian white ibis, magpie geese and other waterfowl.
