Ocean Park Hong Kong has launched a new animal attraction based on the South Australian Outback.
The new ‘Adventures in Australia’ area is being billed as an “immersive walk-through experience” that will feature koalas, red-necked wallabies and kookaburras. It features interactive panels, games, plus a movie and a “film corridor” depicting images of the South Australian Outback.
The exhibit is climate-controlled to match the seasons in South Australia, and illuminated using both natural and LED lights to simulate the hours of the day. It has been designed using recycled timber and other environmentally-friendly materials.
“The opening of Adventures in Australia marks an important milestone in the relationship between Hong Kong and South Australia,” said John Tsang, Financial Secretary of Hong Kong.
“Much more than attractions however, the new exhibit will help spread critical messages of conservation and sustainability. No less important, these messages symbolise the close bonds that Hong Kong and South Australia have long enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy.”
The new attraction forms part of the ‘Animal Discovery Fest’ at Ocean Park, which runs from 28 March to 3 May.
