That's kind of a neat setup. No bored dingos here.

So here this area one last time before the Australian pack was added.
Pink - Kangaroos
Red- aviaries
Yellow- staff areas
White- unknown animal- future expansion?
Green- dingos
Tan - fruit bats - future
Gold - koala
Blue - cassowary



and here is it after I added the pack scenery.

Now, let's look at this area with the Australia pack details added.
The entrance arch to this area. (I have this arch in the workshop if you may need it)



I changed the path coverings, and many of the plants.

I'm noticing the changes in animals between the first and second maps...  did you end up not going with kangaroos?

I did. the changes may have been that I had placeholder animals in the habitats before the Australian pack came out. Some of my photos/posts are a bit behind where I'm actually at in the live build. Roos ended up in the green area in the map above.

Also, I was not consistent in my color coding...that doesn't make it confusing...does it?

I like the look of that entrance archway, its wings outstretched. And how the name "Australia" is subtly written in the corner in case someone doesn't recognize the shape of the country. I bet the Australia shape is made of eucalyptus wood. ;)  I also like the rust-colored paths; very Ayers Rock/Uluru in appearance.

Ha, I was going to mention that...  if the goal was to make me study the photos for a lengthy amount of time, you succeeded!

I wonder if the guests noticed that the kangaroos used to be llamas? ;)  The roo looks contented, lying in the deep grass in the shade of that tree. I like the abstract aboriginal signs. I can't figure out what the bottom, oval-shaped sign represents though. :-\

Walking past the exterior viewing areas and into the building.

Love the adornment trim on the fencing - that's very clever!

^ That's was going to be my comment as well. Really adds to the Outback feel. The koalas must be really shy critters; I can't find any of them.

THX guys - glad you like it.


Headed into the inside lobby of the building.



I wanted a bright, more open-air interior in this building.

The aboriginal motif looks even better in these pics. :)  I like the abstract koala artwork on the wall.

The koalas are lucky to have such a varied habitat with plenty of things to climb on. I like the close-up of the critters in the last screenshot.

THX JB.

Moving onto the next animal. I have removed the ostriches from this area and replaced with the cassowary birds. I originally planned this to be for emu, but that had to change.
