Australia & New Guinea

Take a "walkabout" to Australia and New Guinea without leaving Idaho Falls. Walk right into the exhibit where Bennett's wallabies frolic with emus, swans, and shelducks.

Don’t miss the graphics discussing the structures recreated for your enjoyment including spirit poles by a local artist, whirly shelters, and a billabong. And if seeing is not believing, let the unique sounds of the New Guinea singing dogs or the laughing kookaburras convince you.
