Article

A wallaby, a frogmouth and a python are some of the few animals that will be hopping, slithering and crawling in their new exhibits at Night Safari's latest Wallaby Trail.

Originally the Forest Giants Trail, this new zone which officially opens on Aug 17, features mammals, birds and reptiles from the Australasian region.

In this 4,800-square metre area, visitors can expect close encounters with a range of marsupials, including the parma and Bennett's wallabies in a walkthrough exhibit designed to let visitors get as close as possible to its residents.

Other animals include Australia's native bird, the tawny frogmouth, and the white-lipped python from Papua New Guinea.

The most prominent feature in the walking trail is the Naracoorte Cave, which is a reconstruction of the Naracoorte Caves National Park in South Australia. This feature allows visitors to glimpse into the lives of cave dwellers such as free-flying bats, the giant river toad and the beauty snake, among stalactite and stalagmite structures.

Australasian flora and fauna are also on display along the trail.

The Wallaby Trail can be accessed from the park's main tram station.
