May was a big month for the Safari Park: the brand-new Walkabout Australia opened to the public, taking visitors on a “walking safari” through four different habitats of the Land Down Under. Grassland, wetland, rain forest, and desert habitats awaited guests as they began their journey strolling a long a back country road. Grassy meadows revealed kangaroos and wallabies that hopped and roamed freely across the pathways, and a wetland stream provided a home for waterfowl like radjah shelducks and freckled ducks, leading to a pond where visitors could learn more about the challenges of drought in Australia and ways to help save the vital resource of water.
