Walkabout Australia is the newest addition to the San Diego
Safari Park.
It is designed to represent Australia’s rural landscapes,
animals, plants and signs of human habitats along back country roads.
One walks along
a path in a grassy habitat where one may encounter gray kangaroos and
red-necked wallabies.
A stream flows
into a large pond where one may find magpie geese.
There is a large Zuest Station building to represent the
wool sheep shearing sheds found on many of Australia’s sheep ranches. Techniques of wool processing are
exhibited. Snacks are available as well.
Future additions
to the exhibit will include the Cassowary bird and other Australian
inhabitants.

a few other birds along the trail.
