There's also a map so you can navigate your way around without getting lost! As part of our suggested learning schedule on the @Teacher Information page you will be required to visit the Zoo.

Marapana Wildlife Park Although the park has only recently shut down (May 8th 2012) it will be re-opening under a new name, WEST COAST WILDLIFE PARK later on in 2012. At Marapana you could get up close and personal and feed Australian animals in their natural habitat. Kangaroos jumped around freely and koalas chilled in eucalyptus trees. It was the perfect place for a quick local excursion. Visit Oz Animal Travels for more information on what you could expect from the former Marapana Wildlife Park.
